The Side Porch is an outside dining area connected to our restaurant. Waterfalls and fountains combined with tropical plants create the perfect ambiance for your next function, South Louisiana at its best! The Side Porch comfortably seats 72 guests; however, arrangements can be made to seat more. We discourage groups over 90. The area is also covered so rain is not a concern. Sit under our 27 ceiling fans and enjoy South Louisiana breezes along with piped in air conditioning. This area can also be heated when it gets cooler.
The Side Porch was originally designed as an overflow waiting area for our customers. It was so well received by our regular patrons Mr. Anderson had to add on to the Porch to accommodate the numerous requests for private parties. We began by hosting crawfish boils and have expanded to include functions with a full buffet line. The Side Porch has become the perfect facility to host a variety of events. Birthday parties, reunions, corporate parties, rehearsal dinners, small wedding receptions, and high school banquets are only some of the possibilities. Whether it is a rehearsal dinner, a corporate crawfish boil, a luau, or something of your own imagination, we can create it!
