Mr. Keet’s is a restaurant that has been open for about 3 years or so. Mr. Keet’s is located in Maurice, LA. The menu choices vary, some examples are seafood, burgers, chicken, etc.. There is something on the menu to accommodate everyone in your family.
My aunt’s birthday was recently, so we decided to spend the day doing some shopping and end with dinner. I have been wanting to try Mr. Keet’s, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to go and try the food. Upon entrance into the restaurant, the dining room didn’t anything like I thought it would look. The restaurant sort of reminds me of cafeteria style seating. The dining area is a very open space. The decor has a Louisiana theme. There were Saint’s, LSU & Rajun Cajun flags & items that accentuated the space.
Mr. Keet’s also had mounted flat screens in at least four areas in the dining room. So if you are getting together with friends and family to watch a big game, you may consider this place to accommodate everyone and cut your cost.
This restaurant reminds me of Lagneaux’s, in regards to the menu & the set up. Cajun food & seafood is their speciality, but as I said earlier the menu offers variety. The restaurant originally opened serving gumbo & crawfish only. Mr. Keet’s also serves Barbecue on Sunday’s.
We started our meal with a few appetizers. Pictured above is broccoli bites which had broccoli, cheese and bacon that was battered and fried. Broccoli bites is something that I order at many different restaurants like Fezzo’s. The food came out lukewarm. It tasted good, but would have been a whole lot better if it would have been hot. The broccoli bites came with ranch dipping sauce.
Lil mama ordered a burger with fries and diced tomatoes on the side. She said her burger was good. The plate looked really good. Mr. Keet’s serves great portion sizes. This plate was a kids plate and she had more than enough to eat.
My grandmother, mom and aunt all ordered the same entree which was the Crawfish Plate. The Crawfish plate consisted of crawfish etouffee over rice, fried crawfish, crawfish fettucini, and two boiled crawfish with tartar sauce on the side. The plate looked delicious! With a good looking plate like that, I was expecting everyone to clean their plate. Unfortunately, looks were deceiving. The food was very bland, for cajun food it had no spice. They added hot sauce and salt which helped a little. But again the food was lukewarm.
The catfish nuggets were delicious. The catfish nuggets were fried to perfection. The nuggets were fried in cornmeal with a golden brown color with a side of tartar sauce. I should have order that with fries and I would have been good to go!
I had the 1/2 & 1/2 crawfish which consist of crawfish etoufee over rice and fried crawfish tails. The corn shown below was my side. Surprisingly, the corn was my absolute favorite thing to eat. The corn was season well and scorching hot! Who knew that such a simple side dish could be a favorite item at a restaurant. But it really was my favorite.
Your honesty is refreshing. Those brocolli bites look delicious!! You take great pictures, I always feel like I am there with you! LOL
Thanks my friend. I like to keep it real! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm enjoying doing it! Lol!!
