Boondocks Bar and Grill — Restaurant in French Settlement

I am kind of partial to this place because I have a long history with the many changes that took place to this restaurant/bar in the past 25 years. In fact before it was Boonocks, Jays, or even Bordelon's restaurant, it was Mecca Inn where the ferry used to take people, cars, and animals across the Amite river. I worked under Paul Bordelon and this was my first job as a teen taking care of the boat launch (no longer available) and washing dishes. Now Boondocks, has a fun festive atmosphere the whole family can enjoy as they have a full restaurant. This place treats you like you've been there a long time. Even the customers will have you laughing in no time with a funny story and a caring hug. This place just down right treats you like family. Pool tables look good (Of course due to COVID they may closed at the moment) and the food is phenomenal as the new owners have changed the menu and are now serving, "!!HOMADE BURGERS!", and WRAPS!!, among many other added goodies with more to come, that are off the hook, chain or just D#$%# good. Along with bands on the weekends and events through the month it makes this, so called country bar, one of the best places to come and have some fun and enjoy the LIVE music or the digital juke box. The last cool thing is the long "L" shaped dock that can accommodate larger water vessels and they also have gas to keep you going on the water. Come on out to Boondocks and I may even see you there as my brother is one of the...

We went to hear the band, but unfortunately they had canceled them. But we still stayed for a bit. We enjoyed the atmosphere, we didn’t try the food yet because we had just eaten, but the other customers said the food was good. The bar tender was nice. We will hive it another try on a prettier night when they do...

When you're doin your weekend boating thing on the river and hunger gets the best of you, Boondocks offers some good food and good drinks. Stop in and refresh yourself. I had the shrimp tacos and was not disappointed. I have found my go-to meal...
