Belle's Ole South Diner — Restaurant in Louisiana

GO GET Y'ALL A TASTE OF BELLE'S OLE SOUTH DINER! I love this place! It's loud, crowded, has great food and the friendliest wait staff I've ever been served by. I have eaten here a handful of times in the past couple of months for both breakfast and lunch. I highly recommend this diner for both meal times. On this particular visit we telephoned a drive up window order. We placed two separate orders, each of which contained 3 Beignets and a side order of Apple Wood Smoked Bacon. They were the very best Beignets I've had in years and the light saltiness and smokey flavor of the bacon balances the sweetness to perfection. We'd have saved $2 had we ordered a half dozen with a double side of bacon but Beignets are messy enough at the table. I didn't want to be wearing a shower of powdered sugar all day by trying to share a box in the truck while driving. I've had this twice and it is my absolute favorite breakfast, bar none. The plate in the middle is a fried pork chop dinner with green beans and mashed potatoes plus a roll. They do have milk gravy available per your preference. That is 2 chops y'all. One was a bit smaller so I guess that's why I got 2 but, the extra truly isn't needed. As you can see in the pictures, the portion sizes are quite generous. The third picture is the 'Pawpaw's Breakfast'. It is your choice of breakfast meat including ham, sausage patty, smoked sausage, turkey sausage, or bacon, 2 eggs cooked to order, toast or biscuit, grits or 'MoJo' potatoes(what some may know as O'Brien potatoes). My over medium eggs were cooked to perfection. The ham had good flavor but was a little on the dry side; a little oil on the griddle or skillet would have fixed that but it was still good. I've also had their fried catfish and let me tell you, they do it well. I've never had better and there is no other to compare. It's great y'all. The menu prices floored me. It is so economical to eat here. The breakfast menu ranges from $3.99-$12.49 and one of those is with a ribeye steak cooked to order. The lunch menu ranges from $5.49- $13.99, the higher priced items being Redfish and Chicken Fried Steak. I can't recommend this place enough. You must go and try it out for yourself but don't wait too late for a lunch date because they close at 2 PM. They are only open on Saturday for breakfast from 6-11, no...

Four of us sat down at about noon. Three of my fellow workers had never been there before. We were greeted with a big smile (under China Flu mask) menus and ordered three teas and one soft drink. The daily lunch varieties are your traditional blue plate specials along with fish and po boys. I chose beef tips with mashed potatoes, purple hull peas and greens and hot water cornbread. Number two ordered b. tips with rice, p. hull peas, greens and h.w.c.b. Number 3 & 4 ordered chicken fried steak with white gravy, p.h.peas, and greens and the obigatory hot water cornbread. Restaurant was full and some patrons decided to dine on outside tables due to beautiful weather. All 5 service women were busy helping serve tables. Food arrived as quickly as possible (about ten minutes). All was hot and we dug in. Tips and gravy were perfect and my potatoes had really good consistency. Peas, greens and cornbread were done right for us all. Chicken fried steaks held onto a crispy breading, yeah! The 3 newbies really enjoyed meal as well as me. Especially with the free chocolate cake and ice cream finish. A special note about what we were able to try:. Zydeco Shrimp with Creole sauce. We did not see it on chalkboard so while we were waiting I asked waitress if chef would serve us each a sample in small cup and I would pay for them. It was so good two of us would have ordered it ($9.99). Wayne and his wife were kind enough to GIVE the samples! Please don't go in and expect same. We left feeling well fed and had a very nice lunch break with people who really wanted their customers to be satisfied and they asked that we...

Yes, I have found another 5-star restaurant, which is a feat for me! Wife and I had breakfast here as we were heading back home to Birmingham. It was very near our hotel. Wife had a Full Stack (3) Pancakes with a side of bacon. She was very satisfied with the taste and portions she received. I had the Rougarou Omelet. It comes with Mojo or Grits, and a biscuit or toast. I opted for grits and biscuits with a side of sausage gravy. The omelet had the perfect amount of "kick", and the biscuits and gravy were incredible! I will say this... It just might have been one of the best breakfasts I've had since I don't know when!

You, yes, you! Why are you still reading? Get on over to Belle's! Whatcha' waiting for? (Other than for...
