I've never been. Thinking about trying it out. Any reviews or suggestions?

Went once and wasn't impressed with the food. 12 year old (owners daughter) waiting tables.

Haven’t been in a several months, but it ain’t bad. Can be a little slow if it’s packed, but it’s literally family run. Prices are reasonable and the food has been good the times we’ve gone. Just know what you’re getting into and you shouldn’t be disappointed.

Yes. 12 yr old waiting tables. But food is pretty good worth trying. Not overpriced.

Not sure if it’s same thing as in Central but it’s ok, just ok
I did not care for the pizza, chicken parm was good

It may not blow you away but I find it to be a solid place. Some dishes are better than others. I think they would benefit from downsizing the menu a little.

I like that as long as she's a competent waitress. We need more family run businesses where the person bringing you your iced tea actually has an interest in the success of the restaurant.

Really wanted to like this place. I went twice, and I thought the food was mediocre at best. They do have large servings and seem like nice people, but I won't be back. Agree that maybe they should shorten the menu, and focus on doing a few things well that taste fresh and home-made. Prairieville really needs a good Italian place.

What happened to this place? They built a nice new building and now looks closed down.

He shuts down for a month every year and takes his family on vacation.
Fun fact - he's not Italian, but Albanian.

They've opened a second location in the Mall of Louisiana, in one of the out buildings. It's been open for a few years, but I've never been. Seems like they originally opened the BR location somewhere else and then moved to the Mall? After our first experience at the Prairieville location, we've never been tempted to return.

The ones in Picayune and the Dirty Dell are good.

A friend invited me a couple times, met the owner. Not bad, I’ve tried a couple different items.

We were sat in the regular dining room and our server was the also one of the bartenders. Meal took almost 3 hours. I was ready to claw my eyes out by the end of it. Food was alright.

The mall location is closed. Ate there once, was not impressed. Did not return.

It’s good solid food. It’s not knock your socks off…. Good pours, good (literally) family run business, big portions. Just expect for it to take a while, they aren’t quick.

Closed for the month. Go back to Albania for vacation every year.
