“ We stopped in to fuel up and hit the restroom. Just passing through anc found the food to be very good! The burgers where huge!! We got two loaded burgers and fries And two chicken tenders with fries meals. It was pretty pricey but worth it with the amount of food you get! Staff was very nice! . Facilities were kinda gross but that's a truck stop for you. Thanks again! ”
“ Louisiana is my favorite state when it comes to good eating. Apart from that southern hospitality, cooking just comes naturally to folks. That’s what you’ll get here at Tiger Cafe, excellent service, friendly staff, clean restaurant, and food is delicious! I highly recommend, I will definitely be back. Goes well with a cold beer of course ”
“ My last year over the road was 1999, i used to frequently the cafe everytime i was passing by, or at least once a month. Back then it was the tiger truck stop with live tigers. Jambalaya was good and the fried seafood occasionally burnt. My fondest memory was picking up 10lbs or so of Gator sausage on my way home. Makin a pot of beans with cornbread, spiked with some gator sausage. Doesn't get much better, unless you ain't the one cookin. ”
“ A nice spot to stop for a bite to eat. It's right off of 10e ex 139. I ordered the beef tips a side of red beans/rice , the boys Cajun fried chicken and cheeseburger. She brought back a half of chicken fresh and golden brown. Then a big bowl of beef tips in gravy over a bed of rice, accompanied by potatoes carrots and 2 cornbread pcs( cornbread semisweet and moist great) . Followed by a cheeseburger. A little disappointed by the cheeseburger . For the price small (patty size and thickness) . Other than that food was delicious and healthy portions. ”
