Very nostalgic. Lots of history from when the oil and gas industry was booming in Acadiana. The fact that this restaurant is tucked away and sort of hidden and has remained open and flourishing for almost 100 years speaks volumes about the quality of their product. Poor Boy's Riverside Inn delivers a more "upscale" version of local Cajun seafood cuisine. The lump crabmeat seems to never run out, hence one of their taglines "Get Lumped!" I would normally rate the service a solid 5 stars because the service is usually on point. Unfortunately, the day I am reviewing about our server seemed missing in action. I would have rated the service that day lower but I don't want the overall rating for service here to get dinged for possibly someone's off day. Keep in mind they close after lunch and open again for dinner so no mid afternoon visits here. But, my presumption is that they are dedicating that time to have everything fresh and prepared for the dinner guests. If you are visiting Acadiana and want a high quality option for seafood, definitely consider this spot!

The chicken & andouille sausage gumbo was delicious and very authentic. The crawfish dinner platter was also delicious. Most of the items were deep fried except for the salad and etouffee. The crawfish bisque was a cream style bisque and was good although I prefer a traditional brown roux based bisque. We were a little disappointed in the sweet potato begnets as they were too sweet for our palate.

I was highly impressed my first time here. The food was fantastic. The ambiance was great. The view fantastic. Super friendly trash pandas was an added bonus for this animal rescuer. No complaint. Oh, and the drinks are strong!
