Dodson Roadside Cafe & Creamery - Operated by Louisiana Adult & Teen Challenge — Restaurant in Dodson

I can't say enough good things about this place! For starters, the food is ALWAYS amazing! The restaurant is clean, charming in a small town rustic sort of way, and definitely family friendly. They serve typical short-order style food: burgers and fries (OMG love their curly fries!), wings, fried catfish, and the like. They used to have all-you-can-eat wings on Thursday nights and all-you-can-eat catfish on Friday nights. So I have sampled the goods to excess on more than a few occasions.

Dodson is 45 minutes from us but we will gladly drive down there to eat here. The Goliath burger is a good draw for those who like a challenge (2 lb burger) and if you're a family and want an all-in-one meal, they have a different price for families ordering this behemoth that's really not bad.

And if all of that weren't enough already, you'll be supporting the local Teen Challenge by eating here as the Cafe is fully staffed and operated by Teen Challenge students. Can't wait to get back down there for them curly...

Home-cooked southern style soul food at its best! My dinner partner had the fried pork chops and she said they were delicious as well. And of course we had sweet tea to wash it all down with. Prices are reasonable, our order was up quick, and the atmosphere is homey, with Christian worship music playing in the background. Do yourself a favor and check them out if you are anywhere within driving distance - or even if you aren't - it would be worth the drive to Dodson! (And it's for a...

This is a quaint little roadside restaurant. Everything is made fresh. They have a variety of burgers, poboys, and fried foods like fish, etc. My family all had burgers. I had the Dodson special. It is by far the best burger I've ever eat. The 1/4lb with curly q fries was more than enough. I thought I'd have to unhinge my jaw to get a bite of it. After we ate I also had a milkshake, also recommended. To top it all off this restaurant operates to rehabilitate adults with addiction issues of all sorts. The profits help fund operational costs, and the employees are in the program. I enjoyed my meal here and will...
