Description

Summary: A classic spot for down-home Louisiana fare.

Mena's Palace, a cozy fixture in the local dining scene since 1956, offers a taste of Louisiana's home-style cooking in a relaxed setting. With its exposed brick walls, neon beer signs, and ceiling fans, the atmosphere is laid-back yet vibrant, reflecting the easy-going spirit of its surroundings. The menu features hearty favorites such as po' boys, veal Parmesan, and chicken-fried steak, alongside headliners like gumbo and fried chicken. Regulars often rave about the swift and friendly service, as well as the simple but satisfying desserts including pecan pie and bread pudding with rum sauce. While the wine list is uncomplicated, Mena's Palace is known for its Bloody Marys, making it a beloved spot for both breakfast and lunch.
