Our Guestbook
“ The food and service was great! We walked in and were greeted immediately and brought to a table. We had Gator Bites for an appetizer, I had the etouffe, birthday boy had catfish with etouffe on top and my son had a bacon cheeseburger. ”
“ The service was good especially during the busy lunch hour! My husband and I ordered hamburger steaks with twice baked potato and to our surprise, it came with vegetables, and a side salad plus garlic bread! Way too much food for lunch so very generous portions! The restaurant is roomy and clean with white tablecloths. Yes, I recommend this place. ”
“ Excellent service and the food is fantastic. The restaurant is very nice and very friendly. I'll come again . ”
“ We went for lunch today and was seated on the side of the restaurant. This was our first time in that section. Also has some large tv's playing. It was so nice. The room is large and bright. We really enjoyed our lunch there. Our food came out very hot and everything was delicious. Our waiter was great! ”
“ This location, is one of the best locations! Every time I go to Mike Anderson's it truly depends on how I'm feeling to what I order. First I ordered a Bayou Cosmopolitan and it was very good! The presentation of the drink was soo pretty! It also tasted just as good! It was a very smooth drink. Then I ordered the crawfish fettuccine and it was very good. It was so much pasta I was able to take some to lunch the next day. The pasta is a little spicy, very cheesy but not too much and seasoned to perfection! I would definitely recommend this meal to anyone who likes crawfish. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Mike Anderson's and I would rate it a 10/10! ”
“ We loved Mike Anderson's, going way back to the original location on Perkins Road near LSU and continuing when they opened in a larger location on Lee Drive. We are driven past the sign from Mike Anderson's, but assumed that because it was connected to a hotel it couldn't possibly be as good as the original. I won a drawing for dinner at Mike Anderson's, and I could not believe how good the Oysters Bienville were. They also have a really nice oyster bar where you can sit and watch them shuck oysters and grill them. I've been back several times, and the service and quality has been consistently great. ”
“ I went here with a group of 16. They were able to accommodate us with a reservation the day of. They allotted one server for our table which ended up not being too bad. Holy moly the oysters are HUGE and tasty with the bread. You have to get the oysters. Most meals come with a salad of your choice between house or Caesar. The stuffed mushrooms were a great add on for appetizers. I got the norman, it was a cozy meal with really large shrimp. I personally would've liked something more spicy. The gator bites were huge as well and fresh. I recommend if you're trying to get some Louisiana cuisine in the area. ”
“ Camryn was our waitress last night and she was fantastic! She took care of us and was above and beyond. We started with the house bread with cheese dip, so delicious! My husband ordered the Guitreau and he ate it all and was very pleased. I ordered the Burnside spinach salad with grilled shrimp and it was the best. My mother in law had the Joliet and she was very delighted. It was a great dinner time and one of our favorite places! ”
“ Every time I visit the Gonzales area I have to at least visit Mike Anderson's for a dinner. This trip I actually went two nights in a row and with the variety of choices there is now way to be bored with the selection! The location is adjacent to the Clarion Conference center so don't be confused when entering the hotel parking lot. It has its own entrance to the right of hotel. Every meal I have had is exceptional and service is right on point. Since traveling alone I usually sit at bar area which is well staffed and a great atmosphere to meet others in town and locals alike. I highly recommend trying the grilled oysters if given the chance which is cooked right there in front of you! The Shrimp Norman will not disappoint and leave you filled with the fresh shrimp covered in sauce. Will continue to visit this establishment on my upcoming trips to the area so if you haven't been then you should go for it! ”
