Zesto Drive-In — Restaurant in Bogalusa

I AM 58 AND HAVE BEEN EATING FOOD , DRINKING COLD DRINKS AND MALTS , FROM ZESTO'S , FOR 45 OF THOSE 58 YEARS AND AND THE SERVICE AND THE FOOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST , THIS PLACE HAS SURVIVED MANY A HARDSHIP FROM A CAR RUNNING THROUGH ONE OF THE WALLS , TO BEING FLOODED , SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ( I EVEN BOUGHT 5 OF THE SHIRTS THEY SOLD DURING A FUNDRAISER TO REBUILD IT AFTER THE LAST DEVASTATING FLOOD ) AND THEN ANOTHER DEVASTATING LOSS , THAT OF 2 OF IT'S OWNER'S RALPH AND MARY PIERCE , BUT THOUGHT ALL THESE HARDSHIPS , THE FOOD HAS STAYED THE SAME , RALPH AND MARY WOULD HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY , GOD...

I really like the food here but the wait staff is EXTREMELY rude. Been here twice and both times the wait staff was EXTREMELY rude!!!! They don't take credit or debit and they DONT tell you until after you order. No signs stating cash only, I think that would be a simple fix 🙄 Maybe the owners and/or managers need to give some lessons about being polite to customers. What happened to southern hospitality?!!??!?! You surely won't get it here!!! Good food...

I love their BBQ pork sandwich! Their shakes aren't as good as Glen's but they are good. Only thing I wish they'd change is they only take cash and checks, no cards. Their food takes a little while to get, but they are a local business and if doesn't bother me to wait. But if you are looking for a quick bite with a time restraint this isn't the stop to stop. You don't know how many orders are ahead of you, this includes call in orders. But...
