Reviews For The Atchafalaya Restaurant Idlewild Golf Course

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 us with a warm experience. Definitely worth the drive.

Very nice place. A bit upscale. Food is excellent. Service is wonderful! Tonight was the LSU/Alabama game and they had it playing on at least 4 tv's. I most definitely recommend!

This is a jewel of a golf course. If you allow your imagination to construct a golf course in the middle of the Atchafalaya River basin you get this. Incredible holes, tons of wildlife, perfectly groomed fare ways. Did not have the privilege to finish due to inclement weather. Will be back for sure when I in the area. Thanks to all staff for a great time.

Fantastic dining experience. Absolutely great food and the best service you could ask for. This place will not disappoint you our your family and guests. A fine date destination or for any special evening. Spotless, friendly and you will be made to feel at home. Enjoy the appetizers while waiting for your main course. The Bar is fun to share with a friend or group and eating at the bar is welcomed. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of this very clean and reasonably priced location. We have many times and we'll continue to do so.
