“ Always have a great experience at Richards. Some of the best seafood around. Welltended buffet with fresh seafood. Most of the buffet is fried, but on different nights they have boiled shrimp, crabs, and later on the season they even have Crawfish. Decently priced for what they serve. If you arent into the buffet, they have numerous great menu items. I suggest the fried shrimp poboy!! Crawfish is some of the best around. ”
“ Its the best lil hidden gem Ive ever eaten at! The boiled seafood is seasoned to perfection and always full on the bar. Beer is cold and the staff is very friendly and attentive to your dining satisfaction. We will be back and I would highly advise to go if you were on the fence about it. ”
“ Was recommended this place. They had a special on the seafood buffet 19.99 on a Tuesday night, so we drove 30 minutes to check it out. It is a little out of the way. Road is not the best once off the main street. It looks like a warehouse. Nothing fancy but good food. Great selection. CJ, our waiter was very attentive to our needs in a very busy environment. He filled my water without asking and stopped several times to check on us. After a big feast, 2 heaping plates of food. I was looking for something sweet. Low and behold at the cash were some chocolates and sweets for sale. It was a mint chocolate, my fav. Icing on the cake for me. Great place ”
