The New Ronnie's Cajun Cafe

"We’ve eaten at Ronnie’s plenty of times for lunch, no complaints. Tonight we decided to try the buffet. It was 34$/person. The buffet was a complete mess. When the food was ready, everyone piled in but got in lines on separate sides and people just kind of had to push their way around. There were a lot of severely obese people there and they managed to successfully push the regular sized people out of their way. The food had good flavor but almost everything was cold. My husband saw kitchen staff bring out fresh crabs so he grabbed us each one thinking they would be hot. Nope! Like everything else, it was cold. I realize that Ronnie’s is fairly new to having a buffet, so perhaps they just don’t have their timing down to get out hot food. The gumbo is very roux heavy and they ask that each person limit themselves to two crabs. Overall it was a complete disappointment and sickening that it cost as much as it did for it to all be cold. On the plus side, our waitress was very friendly. I would recommend Ronnie’s for their lunches but do not recommend the buffet. We have no plans of returning."

"This is the first time my husband and I have eaten in Eunice. We were passing through on a Saturday evening and wanted something that was outside of your typical chain restaurant. We were promptly greeted as soon as we walked in. Once seated , our waitress was very friendly and quick to wait on us. I ordered the chicken and sausage gumbo. My hubby had the bacon cheeseburger with tots. First, the gumbo was spectacular! The flavor was perfect! I’ve eaten a lot of gumbo through the years and you can always tell if a gumbo has been cooked correctly-it MUST be slow simmered for hours to allow the flavors to “marry”. Otherwise you will end up with a liquid that tastes like water, seasoning, and flour roux. This gumbo was definitely cooked by someone that is experienced in true Cajun cooking. The rice was also cooked perfectly and the potato salad was equally just as good. My husband said his bacon cheese burger and tots were also delicious. The meat patty was made using fresh beef, not from a pre-frozen patty. After the meal, we were given our choice of a complimentary desert which is definitely a nice touch. I had the chocolate mousse and my hubby had the apple cobbler. Both were very good. By chance, the owner of the restaurant was eating next to us with her family. She was a very personable lady who seemed to really have her heart and soul in this restaurant. You could tell that she takes great pride in making sure that her customers are satisfied. If you are in the area and are looking for really good authentic Cajun food at a very reasonable price, please stop by and support this restaurant owner and her sweet family. We will 100% go again if we are in the area!!"

"Homestyle cooking and very friendly staff. See pics for what we ate. The fried chicken salad was very good ( not low-cal)! The chicken pieces were hand cut and battered, which was the best "nuggets" I've had in a while."

"The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced with good portions. We stopped here and did not regret it! It gives you a small town feel (because it's in a small town) with good friendly service. You will wait a bit for your food but it's worth the wait. Brings truth to good ol "home cookin!""

"Don't judge this restaurant by the outside! We weren't sure what we were walking into when we pulled up but went off Google reviews. Excellent service, great menu and amazing food! If you find yourself in Eunice and want some authentic LA food, this is your spot. (Pictured gumbo, loaded shrimp baked potato, Cajun eggplant and beignet bites)"
