Excellent atmosphere, service and food.

I really wanted to love this place. Ambiance and service were both very good but, alas, our gumbo was way too thick - think paste. The onion rings under-cooked and mushy. Barbecue shrimp were okay but the cornbread on the plate was, well actually it wasn't recognizable as cornbread.
Not at all what I expected from Mr
Gallagher.

We took an out-of-state friend. She sampled several appetizers,, she was overwhelmed with how wonderful everything was!! Then our entrées came, all were outstanding!!! She had oysters for the first time, she really loved the charbroiled!! She is from the north east, when she tried the blue crab jumbo lump crab meat, she said that she would want it instead of lobster any day!! Great restaurant with excellent service!!

The food and service is excellent. I was there with clients from out of town and they said the gumbo and char broiled oysters were the best they have had!

It went well and would go back, dining or having drinks outside is better.

Great food. Just a tad pricey

We really enjoyed our experience at Rest Awhile. The food was delicious and served perfect. Our waiter Patrick was very accommodating. We will definitely be returning. Thanks

Overall, our dining experience at Pats was terrific. The ribs were a little dry, but the service and ambience were excellent. I’ll definitely be back.

Went for NYE. food and service was great. Our server Jessica was very personable and knowledgeable.

Great Service and overall taste of the food was really good as well. The barbecue shrimp and chargrilled oysters tasted great, but seemed a bit overpriced IMO as it was $42 between a dozen oysters and 5 shrimp. Everything else was exceptional and we will be back!

Food was excellent!!! Best Lemon Martini I have ever had:)

It was really really cold in there. So cold that the food was cold just minutes after being served. It was hard to enjoy the meal because all we kept thinking about was how fast we would eat to able go outside and defrost. Seemed as others were complaining amongst themselves as well.

Anniversary

We had great service last night. The food and drinks were delicious from the steaks and the seafood to the wine and cocktails. None of our party of 8 left disappointed. It was extremely cold, so bring a sweater if you go.

We had a delightful time. I had the beet salad and pompano almondine! Everything was delicious. It is pretty noisy, but it didn’t bother me. We will be back!

Food was very good. The older man who was evidently an owner or manager was camped out
At the inside bar when he wasn’t stomping around glaring at the customers and being ugly
to the wait staff. Blocky Mary was very
Good.

In the reservations they asked if it was an occasion but they did not recognize our Birthday. We didn’t say anything.
Everything else was fine. Good food, great service and beautiful location. I do believe the selections were a bit pricey for lunch

Excellent food and service. Very nice location on the lake. It is a big place with several settings - outdoors and indoors. The main dining room was a nice setting and not noisy.

Gumbo, grilled oysters and potatoes au gratin were excellent.

Overall outstanding experience. I left Pat’s Rest a While feeling taken care of and soothed. The ambiance was lively and my server hustled to stay on top of things. I’ll come back for the sunset and well crafted cocktails! 🌅 🍹

Everything was perfect! The food is fantastic. Will be back soon.

Great place to meet friends inside or if the weather great, outside. Food and Service are good.

Food was fabulous. We had crab claws as our appetizer. Very good but very small serving. Service was good. Wish we could have been seated outdoors...maybe next time. Will definitely go back.

very good food consistent enjoyed the food and service

Food was good, but service was marginal. Way too loud.

Great night! Cocktails on the deck overlooking The Ponchartrain , then a delicious dinner inside. We love this place!

My sorority sisters from Louisiana and Mississippi came together here for our Christmas lunch. This was a perfect meeting spot. The food, atmosphere and service were fantastic. We will be back and I highly recommend Pat’s!

Everything was great. Extremely nice and clean inside. Safe area for family to visit and the lakefront is beautiful.

Our second time in. Excellent salads, lettuce always crispy, great combination of ingredients in same. The carrot purée was delicious. Hands down the best trout almandine around. Coming back with our kids next.

Great View. Great Food. Great Service. Menu has 8 Entrees and 7 sides and 6 Desserts. Patio, Deck, Bar and Indoor Seating. One of the top locations in St. Tammany Parish. Will return.

My sister and brother in law were in town. All four of us had a great meal with incredible service from Michaela. We got to sit right by the window at sunset. Between us, we had the rib-eye steak, beet salad, a hamburger, trout almandine and a crabmeat appetizer!

Food and service was great!

As always, the perfect relaxed dinner. Great service. Excellent dishes- we had the redfish (divine), fresh fish almandine (delicious) the spareribs (so good) and wedge salad ( light and refreshing). The sauces were light and perfect compliments to the dishes. The room was perfect for conversation. Was a smidge warm, but no bother. A delight- 10/10.

Very humiliated, we are in our middle 80's traveled all over the Americana's never have we be in a SITUATION like this drove 90 miles round trip
put us in a party room about 16x30 in another bldg. first party of about 12 people leave. party of about 14 adults, 10 children came in then we had no waitress FOOD came from the maim bldg. cold and over cooked Oysters water bags raw small, BQ oysters dried out very small
How ever the the waiters and waitress's try to make up for it.
