Reviews for The Atchafalaya Restaurant | Idlewild Golf Course in Patterson, LA

I had grilled catfish topped with crayfish etouffee on a bed of rice. It was a total Cajun experience. It was good to be home... again. Read more

Fantastic dining room with a lodge like presence. Open, spacious, and welcoming. I enjoyed the Catfish (grilled) Atchafalaya. It... was superb. Very good menu pricing. Our server was on top of refills, had the proper amount of table presence, and provided uswith a warm experience. Definitely worth the drive. Read more

I'm originally from Berwick, but have lived outside of La for a few decades. I always enjoy having lunch here when I'm in town.... The high ceiling and view of the golf course make for some beautiful scenery while dining. Read more

We went to The Atchafalaya Restaurant in Patterson on Mother?s Day. We were a party of 12 and had a reservation for noon. We had... our wife?s and mother of 89 years old and was looking forward to a great lunch with family. I understand that on holidays thingsmove a little slow. But it took 3 hours before we got any food. The waitress did the best she could. When she would go into thekitchen to ask how much longer it?s going to take. We could hear someone in the kitchen yelling at her Loud enough for us tohear. I tried speaking to the manager and she didn?t even care. And didn?t tried to do anything to help. This is the last time Iwill ever go there again. I gave them 1 star because that?s the lowest I could rate them. Read more

Beautiful view overlooking golf course. Service was excellent. 4 couples and were able to bring our own wine. There is also a... lot of outdoor seating. My blacken redfish was excellent and the stuffed catfish was also, but did find the fish portions weresmaller than usual. Duck strips for app is a must. The only problem we had was steak as well done and was ordered medium rare.It was returned. Comment also steak was tuff and will bring it home to doctor it up. So word to wise this is more of a seafoodrestaurant and probably not a steakhouse?but steak may be better next time. The wine glasses were rather small with no stem seepic Read more

I really enjoyed my food during my visit here. I had the duck strips and waffle to start. The uniqueness was inviting, so I... gave it a go. Simple, but pretty tasty. It came with a traditional syrup accompanied by a "sweet and sour" sauce. I followedthat small gem with the "Catfish Atchafalaya", a fillet of catfish with a generous portion of crawfish etouffee and a dinnerroll. The etouffee was flavorsome and included greater than was expected amount of crawfish. ???????????????? The one thingthat was a bit off was the catfish that I had ordered "grilled". What I received was a fried catfish fillet. I honestly didn'teven say anything about the mix-up to my waitress as it still looked very good. I really enjoyed my food here and staff seemedsuper pleasant. I'd recommend this place to others, based on my first visit. Read more
