Louisiana Charlie's - Long Beach

My friend and I had a really funny time to eat Louisiana Charlie for my mother's lunch. The food was super delicious that he really liked the alligator. I really like the shrimp and then we all had a few Po' guys who were really generous in the amount of seafood they came with. I would like to return to the only thing that I was not perfectly satisfied with was that no one roving around the refilling of waters because you have to order everything about their small app, but it comes fast enough.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Some of the best food I have ever ? had! Simply delicious ? I tasted almost everything on the menu and everything taste amazing ? but if you go you have to try the Gumbo Fries ? Big Up's to Louisiana Charlie's!

Ok here it goes. I went here by accident because the place I was going to visit was closed. When I arrived here I was sat at a table and told to scan a QR code and order on my phone. No one came to my table to ask me if I needed anything or tell me about the items were on the menu. The descriptions on the menu were not detailed either so I had to guess what I thought would be good to try on the menu. I ordered the barbecue ribs with Cajun corn and Mac and cheese. After placing my order and btw you can tip the waiter who never comes to take your order ?! There is a server who delivers your food to your table. I will give her credit that she was nice and did bring me some water upon request. I might add that I would have probably ordered a drink had someone came and offered suggestions. Ok my review of the food. They serve really good size portions of ribs. The ribs were meaty and the meat falls off the bones. I really enjoyed the sweet tangy sauce. My only thing was that I didn?t really taste a smoke flavor on the ribs which from my understanding they were smoked. B+ on the ribs. The mac and cheese was a little runny and did not have that cheesy flavor that I like. This is a more personal opinion as I know some people enjoy runny Mac and cheese. I give it a C. I had no ideal what the Cajun corn would taste like since no one was there to tell me but I really enjoyed the spicyness of the seasoning and butter. A for the corn!!! Overall this place has good food, but I give it 3 stars for the lack of service that had me guessing what to order. I think this place could receive a higher rating if they offer more service to their customers. I had a feeling of not being welcomed and felt like I was a stranger in a distant land?.

Happened to be in the area for a work conference and decided to look up local Cajun restaurants. As an Arkansan currently living in Toronto, I have been severely lacking my daily dose of Cajun goodness. Was so excited to find this restaurant and enjoyed it so much I ate there TWICE during my visit. All staff are incredibly nice and welcoming, food is delicious with great sized portions, and the location is great. Only small hiccup I had was with ordering. The restaurant is not currently at full service which means you order through an app only. My Canadian bank card did not work with the app (since we use postal codes instead of zip codes). It took me a long time to find someone to assist since no one is coming by the tables regularly. But, when I did find someone, I was helped quickly which I appreciated. Will definitely come back should I return to the Long Beach area!

I wanted to give higher but the value isn't great. Got the crab hot box. That particular item didn't feel like a good value, the crab was fine, but not amazing. Looking around I would probably have gotten the gumbo fries or the jambalaya. The service was really not great. Host forgot about us. The meal tastes well enough, just not the value for the price taste wise I was expecting.
