Cayman always doesn't a really good job with the food and service in all his places

Louisiana Grill - Big arse Burger

Louie and the Red Head - All you can eat fried fish and/or shrimp.
I get the fish only, but getting through the first serving is not easy.

What exactly do you find overrated about this. I know the food and the atmosphere doesn't compete with Waffle House and IHOP, but I think they do a pretty good job.

Does anyone know if Vicky Baylee is still involved with the Lake House.

I thought the OP asked for Mandeville, so I will suggest Juniper or Neuvelori(sp). Close by, like others have said, La Provence and Sal and Judy's are very good also.

Fair enough. I have been 3 or 4 times to the Mandeville location and once in Sandestine and have enjoyed it each time. The omelettes and crab cake bennedict with andouille/shrimp sauce and the regular eggs bennedict were all great.

I have lived in Mandeville all my life. Here is a list for you:

Best Steak: Keith Youngs or N'tinis (Sal & Judy's has a great ribeye)
Best Burger: Rusty Pelican
Best Mexican: Casa Garcia
Best Po Boys: Bears
Best Sushi: Little Tokyo
Nice Dinner: Sal & Judy's (Lacombe), Juniper, Nuvolari's
Best Chinese: Trey Yuen
Best Pizza: Pizza Man (Covington)
Best Seafood: LA Grill
Great Lunch: Bistro Byronz
Best Italian: Sal & Judys (Lacombe) or Bosco

I agree with the previous posters about Rips - Great view, terrible service and below avg food

Mortons is ok for average seafood and good location

Have to disagree on the Best Mexican choice. Casa Garcia is not very good IMO. Overall I think most Mexican in Mandeville is not very good.

As for one of my favorite places to eat in Mandeville: Fazzio's is excellent.

I have heard numerous people say that Cafe Lynn is great...but I haven't been.

And correction on me agreeing with the entire list...as I've actually never been to Casa Garcia. I do like Carreta's....though I don't find it great. I just don't think there are any great choices for mexican on the Northshore.

And I'll add one...India4U is really good indian food. I wish we had one closer to the wank.

This must be the problem.

Who says there is a problem?

BTW Cafe Lynn is very good, just a bit odd that it is in an old Burger King building

Fazio's is pretty good also, but Boscos is great (even though it has an out of the way location off of Hwy 59).

I agree with the comment about no great Mexican food but Casa Garcia is better than George's, Carettas. Mamacita's is pretty good

Fazzio's homemade blue cheese dressing

Also need to add Ricky's thai places...Thai Spice and Thai Thai.
