Rice Palace - Crowley

I had an excellent fried crawfish platter! However, my friend had a different experience with his fried oyster platter, which upset his stomach for the entire next day. He wasn't charged for his meal, and the kitchen admitted that the oysters had been in the freezer for a long time but thought they might still be okay. Once they realized their mistake, they sincerely apologized.

This place is absolutely fantastic! It's like a hidden gem within a truck stop! I never would have anticipated finding authentic Louisiana cuisine in such an unexpected location. My highest praises go to both the service and the food—both were exceptional! They truly exceeded my expectations! I honestly have no complaints about this place and believe it is truly underrated! Make sure to stop by; you won't be disappointed!

The parking situation is frustrating, as local drivers often struggle to park properly, which leads to inefficient use of space. Additionally, bobtail trucks occupy most of the spots, despite being directed to park behind other bobtails. Because of this, I will no longer choose to park or spend my money at this establishment.

Great place to eat and share memories of times past. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and you get great portions for the money. You never know who you might see at the Palace and what stories you may share. It will bringyou back to your childhood. Go for the food stay for the memories. You will eat, laugh and maybe cry all in one visit. and that's not a bad thing. . .

I thoroughly enjoyed my fried crustacean platter! However, my friend’s fried oyster dish didn't sit well with him and made him ill the following day. Fortunately, he wasn't charged for his meal. The kitchen admitted they knew the oysters had been stored for a while but thought they might still be safe to serve. They acknowledged their mistake and sincerely apologized.
