Really good jambalaya at a reasonable price
Savannah Mansur
There have been a couple of times we have come here towards the end of the day and it hasn’t been very good. So I recommend coming early in the day when the food is fresh and warm. I like the rewards stamp card thing that they have. It’s a cool thing to look forward to. Anytime you order anything, it’s definitely a large portion. My husband and I will usually split the meal deal. More...

John Grayson
Finally had a chance to try this place out and it was awesome! Portion sizes were huge and was hands down the best pastalaya I've ever had. Service was solid. Will be going back to try some of their daily lunch specials. Looks to be a great and easy option for catering and to feed a large group of friends and family for an effortless meal at a very affordable price. More...
Johnny Moses
Nice and friendly service

Mandi Vierck Hebert
My Dad was in town visiting and I was looking for a family meal with Cajun flair. We really enjoyed the jambalaya meal with white beans. It was very flavorful and had some spice. I added some salad, as well. The website said it feeds 5-7 and it was plenty for our crew of 3 adults and 2 kids. We have enough for supper this evening. Great value for the amount of food we received. More...

Melanie Mccartt
Always delicious!
mike templet
Ordered 3 buckets of Gumbo, rice, and potato salad. The staff went over and beyond to get my order perfect and on time. We found the gumbo better than most restaurants ( Not too salty, good meat to liquid ratio ). I rather cook my own, but this is an excellent substitute when I can't. More...
Joanne Dubus
Excellent Awesome gumbo Chicken and sausage
April Renee Maness
If you're in the mood for gumbo but dont have time or not up to cooking your own Pot and Paddle's gumbo is a GREAT substitute! Even better you can order it through Waitr so you won't even have to leave the house. Everyone who knows me know I'm a very tough gumbo critic and I couldn't get enough of their chicken and sausage! More...
Copelin Schultz
Chicken stew is great
Nicole L. Falgout
We always order through waitr and the gumbo has always been excellent. It’s definitely as good if not better than what we would make at home. Makes the perfect fall/ winter meal when we just don’t feel like cooking!! Just finished my bowl and decided to leave a review! More...
Christopher W. Sanders
Great food and service. Highly recommend.

Only there 5 minutes order was hot and ready
Dean Landeche
Good and plentyWe stumbled on Pot and Paddle in Denham Springs as we were detoured off the interstate in Louisiana. Visiting mid afternoon, the restaurant looked deserted— not what you want in a restaurant! We ordered a pork and sausage jambalaya dinner (served with two sides) and a chicken and sausage gumbo. For under $20, we had created a virtual all-you-can-eat buffet of South Louisiana goodness. Our jambalaya plate included a serving of 2+ cups of well-seasoned sausage and pork with soft, smokey browned rice. The gumbo was rich and thick with chicken and sausage, with that deep roux-based flavor that makes Louisiana foods famous. We left filled, and with left overs. For us, a wonderful unexpected find and great lunch. More...
C Provost
Friendly staff and good food. Just need to maybe lay off the salt a bit!! What we picked up this afternoon was overly salty.
Victoria Ashley
The Mac and cheese is amazing plus their potatoes salad is so good! The jambalaya and Gumbo was good too! The service was great. And some people don’t know but if you walk in and no ones at the counter, there’s a little bell you can hit to let them know someone’s up front. More...
Jodi Johnson
Amazing Food, Amazing Staff .. Love the Gumbo and potato salad
Jane Loughlin
Great food and service.
Kara Rodriguez
So much food at a cheap price ... only $10 for jambalaya, gumbo , 2 sides , and a roll .... can't finish it all at once so u basically got lunch and dinner or u could share it , it's definitely enough for two ppl..plus it tastes so good
John Ransom
I love the gumbo
Mala Bernard
I ordered gumbo and it was good. Hubs got jambalaya which I think kinda bland and not hot when it came out. I'll stick to gumbo for the next visit. Forgot to take pics tho!
Veta Hicks
They never disappoint! Highly recommend!

renae redmond
Split a serving of jambalaya
clide199
The best... Had to take another bite the best jambalaya ever!!
Monica Fuller
Most folks who cook are picky about eating someone else's gumbo and jambalaya. I'm one of those folks. But I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy the gumbo and jambalaya from Pot and Paddle. The potato salad and other sides are very good as well. Unless you have a big appetite, the portions are enough to share or take home for another meal!I think they get overlooked for the other eateries in the area, but definitely give them a try! More...
jil. opus1
Chicken gumbo is great. Jambalaya could use onions, garlic and more meat for the price.
michelle Wright
Very large servings and food is great!
Lesha Landry
Food was ok...
scott youngblood
Really liked the gumbo. Best I ever had
Penny Redden
Enjoyed food from “Pot and Paddle” at a Birthday Party in Sorrento! Fresh and VERY DELICIOUS!!! Their Gumbo, Jambalaya, and potato salad is the BEST I’ve ever had!
Rachel Comoletti Swan
That Mac & Cheese Y'all!! The jambalaya and fettuccine sooo good too!! It's perfect for a quick dinner pick up for the fam!! I highly recommend them!!
Jessica Craighead
We had the jambalaya today and it was delicious. We also had the mac and cheese as a side and it was good as well. Portion was great for the price! We will be back again.
Toni Cambre
I had the $10 meal which consists of gumbo, pastalaya, and 2 sides (mac n cheese and corn)! It came with so much wonderful food, I was able to eat off of it 3 times! I can't wait to take my boyfriend there! More...
Mark Deslatte
its a great place to eat great service and the food is assume you will be surprise on the amount u get for the price best deal in town
Kelley Anne Powers
LOVED the jambalaya ! Seasoned but not spicy . I also had the potato salad and I am SUPER picky with potato salad and was a little nervous when I ordered , but it did it disappoint! Will definitely be going back �
Traci Gremillion Pécot
We ordered jambalaya, shrimp fettuccini (so so good) and gumbo. I'd definitely order it again. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the coleslaw but the rest more than made up for it!
Colleen Fournier Narido
Was so good! Fed my whole family who also thought it was delicious!
David A Landry
Yesterday, after a long day at the new build my wife and I were going back home in Laf. and we didn't have a clue as to what we were going to do for dinner.
I called her and said I would go down the street to Pot and Paddle to pick something up she said that would be great beings I have been wanting to try out the food there.
Well let me tell y'all sha, I ordered a dinner plate of jambalaya and a dinner plate of Red beans and rice, it was excellent y'all!!! The servings were large and the sides were delicious as well. There was enough for dinner last night and I will eat the left overs for dinner tonight as well. Mmmmm GOOD Yeah!!!
Y'all go git you some, you will not be disappointed, I guaranty!!!
P.S. I all most forgot, the price is very reasonable. For all that food at the cost of a fast food burgers and fries, can't be beat!!!

Dylan Melancon
I first had Pot & Paddle when they first opened- the owners were kind in bringing over samples for my staff & I, and everything they brought over was delicious. I try to not eat out often for lunch (saving $ where I can), but today I decided to treat myself to gumbo & trimmings because of the rain. Sarah (employee) has recommended multiple menu items, including their gumbo (and I'm glad she did!) The gumbo was not what I'm used to- it's lighter than the dark gumbo I grew up loving. But, I found it to be a great lunch choice for that specific reason- it was delicious without being too heavy! Super friendly staff, clean restaurant, and good food at a reasonable cost. Can't ask for much more, can we? � More...
Ingrid Hayes
We had a work luncheon with jambalaya, fettuccine & gumbo. The jambalaya was flavorful. The gumbo was hardy. The fettuccine was delicious. Thank you!
Shana Spain
Ordered today for lunch through Waitr. I got the chicken and sausage jambalaya with corn and mac & cheese. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! The corn was actually my favorite. It was delicious! Please try this place! More...
Erin J Morgan
My son asked for gumbo, so I dediced to search Waitr, and found Pot & Paddle. Great gumbo, we were both impressed, will definitely pass the word along!
Summer Bagwell
I needed to feed around 10 guys today for a safety training and decided to try this out. I have to say, it was FANTASTIC!!
The jambalaya is exactly how my grandmother makes hers and hers is award winning in my book. We chose the catering package which included everything we needed: plates, utensils & even serving spoons.
We got the Jambalaya, green beans, green salad and rolls. Must try those green beans!!
Highly recommend this restaurant

Mike Patin
The shrimp stew was good enough for me to bring visitors from out of town to eat.
Super repsonse/turnaround time, authentic food quality, generous portions, and fair prices.
I also loved that the owner and staff checked in on us repeatedly.
It will NOT be my last time. Much to try there!

Jacques Billeaudeaux
I surprised my mother with their gumbo tonight and her response was great "it's just like our family gumbo!" 5 stars all the way! Friendly staff too...oh and they have good cookies too! Do yourself a favor while the weather's still cold and go get you a bowl or two bruh! ��� More...
Nicole Davis DesOrmeaux
I ordered catering for a reception last night and it was so delicious! Everyone loved the jambalaya, mac and cheese and green beans. Great food for a great price. I order a lot of food for catering and plan to use Pot and Paddle again. More...
Adrienne Richard
We decided to order take out from here after I had a small sample of the jambalaya a few weeks ago. We got the dinner plate-gumbo, jambalaya, potato salad, Mac and cheese and a roll. The jambalaya, potato salad and Mac and cheese were delicious! I'm a little hesitant to eat gumbo from any restaurant. It wasn't my dad's gumbo, but let me tell you...pretty darn good! I will definitely eat here again. More...
Kristin Hawkins
Pot and Paddle had a bit of confusion with a catering order we placed for our crew, however, they jumped on it and corrected and feed our entire crew for a second time! They went above and beyond to make sure our experience with them was good. Thanks from the Tropical Smoothie team! More...

Charles K. Middleton
The dishes rock it! The spices used on the entries are just right and tasty!
Jeffrey Teufel
First time I had been here, however, I am no stranger to jambalaya.(I been to Jambalaya Shoppe many times) A few notes from me: Overall flavor is less than I was hoping for. The jambalaya was cooked very well. Potato salad was good, although possibly a bit too salty. The corn was by far my biggest disappointment, straight from the can. I leave it at 4 stars because some people may prefer having less flavor. More...
Tina Gallow-Richard
The shrimp fettuccine is amazing. ������. Looking forward to the next visit

It's yummy yummy yummy!!!!!!!!!!!
Paula Baham
Love the pastalaya! So flavorful and packed with chicken and sausage.
