Reviews for Grand Paradise Casino & Island Cafe in Port Allen, LA

Look, don't expect cajun food here. Heck I'm not even sure they have any cajun seasoning in the kitchen. I mean the shimp-po-boy... tasted like one I would have gotten from a yankee state. Tastes as bland as hospital food. Read more

This is for the casino part. Always liked going here. It's laid out well and the staff is usually friendly and helpful. They... finally took out those filthy, scratched, ugly partitions! Now if they'd move the guard post away from the door so you don'tfeel claustrophobic when you walk in. Not a friendly greeting. I mean, we don't need to sign in, get our temperature checked, orget cleared by "the man". So get away from the door already! I feel like I'm visiting a prison. We get you have security. Butlike children, they need to be in the background, not running things. Read more

The food is hit or miss. The dirt lot is full of locals but I've never not found parking. No security but then I've never had... issues there. They close so if you want to eat get there early enough to do that. They have fuel with a tiny convince store.Chips, soda and that's about it as I recall. I prefer it to the madness of the I10 stops. The burgers are ok. Good onion ringsbut I can't eat them if you get my meaning. The steak and cheese is what I always order. Small but yummy. I find the food priceyfor what you get. But then that's everywhere these days. I'll say one thing, it is what it is, it never changes. This is one ofmy go to stops. I don't gamble so I can't comment on the casino. They have always been nice to me. I think you have to go nextdoor to shower. It's another casino. A short walk across the lot. Easy access from And back to the bridge and roads but not wellmarked so pay attention! It looks dumpier and seedier than it actually is. I'm sure it would be busy if more people knew aboutit. Let's keep it a secret so we can park. The lot is actually big but it's all drop lot parking. The actual parking is limitedand half of that is taken up by locals. Hope this helps you. Read more

Great atmosphere. And the employee are actually friendly and don't act like you're nothing them. I was at the casino part I will... have to go back to try the food so I can do a review on that Read more

Absolutely disappointed RUDE RUDE RUDE. Change your hours on the internet if your not going to cook? I?m so sadly disappointed... because they use to be amazing. There?s signs all over that they are hiring. Hopefully they will clean their attitude up andhave a better day. Read more

Louisiana law is no smoking in restaurants. This place shares a barn style "unsealed" door with the casino next door. They don't... even make sure it's closed. The entire dining area smells of extremely strong cigarette smoke! Gross!! Read more

We stopped here for lunch yesterday for a late lunch. No crowd and and quick service! My husband ordered a cheeseburger and... had no complaints about it. Island Cafe puts together a great burger that will fill you up. The french fries were a missthough. They used to serve regular fries and these seemed to be battered? I got the hamburger steak that was served with athick brown gravy with a side of mashed potatoes. It also came with a side salad. Very tasty! Prices are reasonable andservice is usually good. I would recommend that you give them a try if you live in the area or passing through. Read more
