Merci Beaucoup Restaurant

Not fast friendly service as the description states. My mother loves to eat here because of the table cloths. Not anymore!!! Saturday 4/23/22 we didn’t get one nor did the table next to us but tables that were seated after us did. When we were seated they told her they were too busy to get us one. Over an hour wait for food. Saw TWO tables just walk out because they didn’t get service or food. Yes there was a bus group in the back but they advertise buses welcome. They need to decide if the bus or regular customers are worth it because they obviously can’t accommodate both. Very disappointed in what this used to be nice restaurant has become! Yes as others mentioned the salads are fairly generic. See pic below.

Took a day trip to visit a friend and ate early lunch! I ordered the regional Natchitoches meat pie with dirty rice. The meat inside the pastry was delicious! The dirty rice felt like a lot of meat including the meat in the pie. It was good. My table enjoyed their meals, the crawfish looked especially delicious. Service was great, but we were the first customers when they opened on a Wednesday, so it wasn’t busy.

The food was amazing and the staff so friendly. The owner was there, cleaning the windows when I realized they might be closing down. I asked what time they closed, she said 3. It was 4:15. I felt so bad and apologized profusely. I've worked in the restaurant business and know how it feels to be kept late. The owner was so gracious and told me not to worry about it, that she had things to catch up on. If you're looking for good food and awesome people, this is the place for you.
