TABASCO Restaurant 1868

A good lunch spot. I ate on the porch in mid April, and it was sunny with a cool breeze. Service was friendly and efficient. I started with a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo. It arrived with big chunks of meat; however, the stock or broth wasn’t flavorable. Overall, it was OK. My colleagues ordered the fried cauliflower as a starter, and it had a nice spicy flavor but it wasn’t crispy. My entree was the seafood platter with fried shrimp and fries. A generous serving of shrimp, and I couldn’t finish all the fries. The shrimp was crispy and fried well. Prices were reasonable. I would come back for lunch.

Had a very fresh house salad for lunch, (with a side of chili) and decided to sit out back on the porch to enjoy the birds engaging in playful chirping over my meal. About 2 bites in, I noticed that taste of garden freshness starting to saturate my pallet, and let me tell you, I felt time shift to when this was how we used to eat. Very good service, gorgeous surroundings and great food. Will return. S/N: Scorpion sauce is not to play with! Grown man stuff there! 🔥🔥🔥

The food was good! The cashier was very nice with us, in general the services was good, we ask 2 fish combos 3 cups of rice and beans that was delicious and 3 beers, was $75, the food come in baskets, I was waiting more fish than fries potatoes, but thats fine! Over the table you can try all the tabasco so this is very good! Thr menu in the entrance was very simple, I saw in google maps more options than what I saw in the menu.

I had the trio sampler and it came with etoufee, gumbo, and red beans and rice. My husband had fried fish and shrimp. Both were absolutely delicious and yes I’m from southern Louisiana!
Delishhhh ❤️

Not bad, kind of your classic tourist restaurant. Food is good, just not what you would call artisanal. Not a bad thing, just giving a description. It is cool that they have every brand of Tobasco you can find and maybe some that you can't.

If you skip it, it's not the end of the world, but it does sort of add to the overall experience.

The food is actually quite tasty; plus there’s an assortment of great hot sauces to try. The downside is the time it took to receive our order. They allegedly “lost” our meal, and we had to wait about an hour and a half in total to get the rest of our food. But hey, at least it tasted great.

I have to admit… I expected the food to be bland. I was wrong. Fried catfish & boudin egg rolls were pretty darn good. On a side note I never thought I would be impressed by a dip but they have the best tarter sauce I have had to date. It is so fluffy too.

The food was delicious. The ladies were kind and helpful.

I want you to ENJOY while taking care of itself

After a few stops and starts with the menu we got the, “Ya’ll aren’t from here, are ya?”. The employees couldn’t have been more helpful explaining Southern cuisine and everyone found something they wanted. I had the sampler platter and tried every hot sauce on the table, there’s a bunch of them, on different bites. Considering what other tourist attractions would charge for the same meal this was a great value.

Quality food, almost all with a twang of Tabasco. Bit pricey for the cafeteria-style service, but the best and only option at the plant. If you get a beer, very likely to get a free coozie on it ;)
