There's something wonderful when the words "Mom and Pop" and "restaurant" get together. From 10:30a.m. Until 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, hungry people stop in to enjoy what has been called the best crab legs in Louisiana. Others will disagree, but only to say it's the gumbo which is the best around. My recommendation? Try them both!

Those who would enjoy a legal adult beverage with their meal will be pleased to know they do serve drinks, but the focus is on the food. Reservations are not required, not even suggested, and dress codes are considered silly here. Seafood Palace is a truly relaxing place to eat.
