5 /5 TED JAMES: Its been a while since Ive been through Bastrop at meal time. Ate here on Saturday 4/15/23 about 1:00 pm. Food just as good as it used to be before the paper mill shut down. Cabbage had just the right amount of ham for flavor, but a tad salty. Black-eyed peas were excellent and not salty at all. Always a favorite here for me. Fried pork chops I thought may be over-fried, but turned out to be tender and juicy. Fried chicken also good. And they had my favorite - chicken and spaghetti. They never have that at the West Monroe location. Waitress frequently checked on me, but was not overbearing. She did a good job.
