Mane Street Fish House - West Monroe

If you're staying at a nearby hotel, you should definitely check out this fantastic restaurant. The slightly fried catfish is delicious, and the small fried shrimp is a real treat. They offer whole fried fish and other options, but I haven't tried those yet. There are plenty of non-fried vegetable choices as well, including excellent green beans, okra, and greens. The salad bar is quite simple, but the cocktail sauce packs a flavorful punch, and the tartar sauce is made with dill pickles. Seniors aged 65 and over can enjoy a discount on the buffet. The service is friendly, and while the decor is basic, the place is clean. This eatery is a great find for travelers!

I had an excellent meal at a fantastic price. My waitress, Kelli, was attentive and friendly. I will definitely return and will recommend this place to my passengers. I do wish they offered some kind of soup or stew for lunch, though.

Mane Street Fish House is a place full of hospitality, though they only offer hush puppies for bread, but that's perfectly fine when you’re dining here. The food was fantastic. I don’t eat seafood myself, but my friend managed to devour four pieces of fish and shrimp. The hush puppies were the size of golf balls, cooked to perfection with a beautiful, crispy outer layer and a soft, fluffy center. The mac and cheese was incredibly creamy and cheesy. The banana pudding was so delightful that I found myself wishing for my mom, as she's the only person I know who can make it that good. The chef truly has a gift, infusing the food with so much love. The plates, bowls, and dishes being plastic is quite clever. Our total bill was $40 for two people, and after eating, you can really appreciate the quality and feel that it’s a fair price. They also have outdoor seating. The atmosphere is rustic, and there’s even a mini golf course out front. The staff were friendly, the ambiance was pleasant, and the food was superb.

We were in the old location and just recently the new location. You have the best buffet style seafood in the area and it is not even nearby. Buffett is about $14, so if you are not a big eater just order from the menu and save yourself some money. I get my money every time. Fresh fish, shrimp, filled crabs, frog legs, etc. You have everything. Not to mention the Cobbler and homemade ice cream
