The Atchafalaya Restaurant | Idlewild Golf Course

Beautiful view overlooking golf course. Service was excellent. 4 couples and were able to bring our own wine. There is also a lot of outdoor seating. My blacken redfish was excellent and the stuffed catfish was also, but did find the fish portions were smaller than usual. Duck strips for app is a must. The only problem we had was steak as well done and was ordered medium rare. It was returned. Comment also steak was tuff and will bring it home to doctor it up. So word to wise this is more of a seafood restaurant and probably not a steakhouse…but steak may be better next time. The wine glasses were rather small with no stem see pic

I really enjoyed my food during my visit here. I had the duck strips and waffle to start. The uniqueness was inviting, so I gave it a go. Simple, but pretty tasty. It came with a traditional syrup accompanied by a "sweet and sour" sauce. I followed that small gem with the "Catfish Atchafalaya", a fillet of catfish with a generous portion of crawfish etouffee and a dinner roll. The etouffee was flavorsome and included greater than was expected amount of crawfish. 👍🏻👍🏻 The one thing that was a bit off was the catfish that I had ordered "grilled". What I received was a fried catfish fillet. I honestly didn't even say anything about the mix-up to my waitress as it still looked very good. I really enjoyed my food here and staff seemed super pleasant. I'd recommend this place to others, based on my first visit.

Very nice place. A bit upscale. Food is excellent. Service is wonderful! Tonight was the LSU/Alabama game and they had it playing on at least 4 tv's. I most definitely recommend!

the food is amazing! it has tuns of seafood🍤🐟 and delicious gumbo 🍛!! service was good, although at the time i went it was late and not crowded. for those on the popular keto diet, there are food choices that follow the diet but mostly salad and stake. still i would suggest. its greeeeaaattt. also sports are playing or something I don't remember.
