The Royal Onion — Restaurant in Alexandria

I finally was able to stop in at the royal onion for the first time. Ive always heard great things about the place. My best friend and I went for lunch today at 11am. We started out with 2 island punch.. my first sip had me wanting to take a vacation to Jamaica. Our drinks were delicious we ended up drinking 2 each. We ordered the oxtail and grits as a combination plate with corn as an appetizer. Omg!!!!! My taste buds were jumping from all of the flavors, the oxtails were seasoned to perfection. The other tables inside were telling us how much they enjoyed that meal and smiled back at us letting us know it's their go to meal when dining here. My friend and I also ordered entrees, I ordered the tacos which had a unique flavor of the jamaica, my tacos were very tasty 2 GRILLED FLOUR SHELLS, SHREDDED CHEESE, RED ONIONS, CILANTRO, SIDE OF IERK SAUCE Mv friendordered the crab cakes and pasta: PENNE PASTA, HOUSE MADE PARMESAN CHEESE SAUCE, TOPPED WITH SHREDDED CHEESE. My friend wholeheartedly enjoyed her meal. She raved about the quality and quantity of her crab cakes. We ended our meal with dessert. I ordered the OREO CHEESECAKE CHIMICHANGA, this dessert was made with perfection. My friend ordered the bread pudding, she said it was the best bread pudding she's ever eaten. The service was nice, we were welcomed in by the staff which made us feel welcomed. I got a kick out of seeing the patrons coming in and the staff knowing them by name. The owner came to the table to check on us, that's a bonus in my book. The lady cashier was super kind and knowledgeable, we appreciated her. The ambiance was real calm and pleasant. I loved the colors of the inside of the restaurant and the decor. I looked around and all the patrons appeared to be happy. I definitely recommend people to check this GEM out. Its worth it. The food is made with love and that's the best...

My experience with Royal Onion is phenomenal. Academy Sports + Outdoors had their annual inventory on Oct 24th and Royal Onion catered for a total of a 100 people on a late night. The owners were more than happy to cater to us for that night and I'm glad they did because different team members from different parts of Louisiana got a taste of food that is just made with love, flavor,quantity and quality. Me personally, however I eat here every chance I get.I'm a very picky person,but since my first visit here I have always been treated with kindness patience and compassion through the whole ordering process.Once i recieved my order its always quality top-notch,tasteful extraordinarily carribean meal and heyy did I mention the price is better than 90% of Alexandria? You missing out if you haven't had Royal...

My husband and I went for an early Valentine’s Day meal. We were greeted and talked to by the VERY friendly owners the atmosphere was so nice and you could tell they put a lot of thought into the decor, they even had a really upscale selfie wall! And oh my lord the food! I want to turn around and order everything on their menu! AMAZING! I had the oxtail quesadilla and taco and I swear I didn’t have to chew! It was so delicious and tender and so flavorful! We actually bought a bottle of the sauce to take home! (They make it there and it is delightful!) please go to this restaurant! I cannot believe they didn’t have a line down the street! I am blown away by how amazing the service...
