Dat Cafe - Laplace (LA)

5 /5 Charllotte Carrere: The young lady at the Counter was amazing, and so was the lady in the kitchen. They answered all my questions and didnt complain about anything. Their attitude was fantastic.

4 /5 Cathy: Great little cafe. We both got the Dat Burger and it did not disappoint. The onion rings are home made. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because my onions rings came out after I finished my burger.

2 /5 Anthlesia Shepherd: Coming from a person who believes in supporting the locals and small businesses owners, I will not be returning to this establishment. Although the food is delicious the customer service is not even subpar at best. This is not my first encounter either. I believe in second chances and people just having bad days but each time this establishment proves that they just can’t meet the standards of professionalism and providing a welcoming environment. I asked to speak to a manager so I can advise them of this and low and behold it was the manager who was rude, dismissive and unenthusiastic about serving the customers coming in to spend their hard earned money.

5 /5 Nolan Man: shrimp nachos Was amazing shout out to the night crew wonderful customer service

2 /5 Michael: First, the location is set wrong. It’s not near the highway, it’s toward the back near Smoothie King. But that’s irrelevant. The atmosphere is meh. Nothing special but not bad. Personally, I’m not a fan of a restaurant with nothing more than a tv playing but that’s a personal preference. I find music more relaxing when I eat at a restaurant but to each his/her own. Be mindful when you’re ordering as there is different price between cash and non-cash payments which is reflected at the point of sale just before you pay (unless you manage to spot the small printed label at the bottom of the sales terminal in 9 point font where most people wouldn’t look). Not a huge difference but a there is a fee added when you pay with debit/credit. And a 20% tip is automatically applied however there is an option to adjust or remove the tip altogether before you pay so just be mindful of that (I tipped the 20%, hopefully it goes where it’s supposed to). An “upcharge” (which wasn’t actually disclosed until after the sale but ok) of “$1” for a side substitute was actually $2. So again, do watch when you order as a $14.99 lunch combo ended up costing me over $23 (with tax included). $23.+ for 8 traditional wings and a some onions rings isn’t exactly my idea of economical. The food is ok. Nothing to rave about. Not bad but not particularly amazing. I ordered the buffalo wings which had decent flavor but nothing overly special. The onion rings were bland, very little seasoning in the batter. Condiments provided were…ketchup and ranch….? Who eats ketchup with onion rings? Who does that? And buffalo wings demand bleu cheese, I will die on this hill! (Joking) Again, personal preferences, eat what ya like. Service was fine. Staff was friendly enough and more than pleasant. If you’re in a rush, better be patient, especially at lunch time. Paid at 12:21, order didn’t come out until 12:46. Good bit of time to wait for takeout. Overall I have to give it 2 stars. The price coupled with the extra upcharges and fees were the biggest turn off, the wait didn’t help and the food was slightly north of mediocre…it’s gonna be a pass for me. I would go back and try something else but if I wanted to wait around for an overpriced, mediocre product and get hit with a bunch of fees, I would just have lunch at the DMV (again, kidding, nothing is as bad as the DMV)
