Rusty Pelican - Mandeville

In town visiting. Loved this place. Great atmosphere inside and outside. We split the Holland Special and it was wonderful. Shrimp was really good. Wish I...

Good food I had the shrimp po boy. The shrimp were battered perfectly Fries could be better quality, better to eat there versus traveling

Location; From my trip to Louisiana, its a nice walk from the river/lake edge which also included shopping and lake rental companies. The restaurant was...

This is a casual restaurant. Order at the counter and the server will bring food to your table. Great service from the minute I entered the door. Server was very friendly and recommended different sauces for my oyster po'boy. The po'boy with fried oyster was delicious. Fried perfectly, crunch on outside and not greasy at all. Oh, no line and no waiting for tables. Love that. It did start to get crowded as I was leaving though.

First: the staff is very friendly. They gave advice on what to eat, and helped me out with table service even though this isn't that kinda place. Total southern hospitality vibe. Being from California, the sweetness is abundant and I left with major tooth decay (insert sarcasm). I got Mahi Mahi tacos w fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were perfect thick cut, thin batter. The tacos would have been ideal however I'm not a fan of flour tortillas... it's a foreign concept to latinos lol. But otherwise, all delish. My family devoured the sweet treats I brought them. Personally I find pecan pie disgusting but we really all enjoyed the mini pecan pie! A first for me. I even had a great conversation with a local couple eating outside near me. Can't wait to come back and try something new next time!
