I am going to Ruston this weekend for a birthday party. Looking for a local restaurant to eat at. Not looking for a national chain restaurant and type of food doesn’t matter. Can be seafood or Italian or whatever. I just like to find mom and pop restaurants to support when I travel.

Too bad Sarah’s Kitchen isn’t open anymore, she passed away several years ago. Was my “go-to” when I attended La Tech in the early ‘90’s…

We stopped in at Ponchatoula's.
Fried Green Tomatoes were delicious.
Stuffed Fried Catfish was ok. It was two fried catfish fillets with this crawfish stuffing between them, then covered in crawfish etouffee. The stuffing felt like wet batter that didn't fry in the fryer. The etouffee was decent.
Fried onion rings were on point!
Thanks for the recommendations.
