Cafe Le Rue @ The Landings

Talk about flavorful and delicious!!! We were visiting Columbus from Ozark, AL. My husband was in the mood for fried catfish. We searched Google to see what was around and we decided to give this restaurant a try since they offered fried catfish and had a New Orleans flare. They did not disappoint!! The atmosphere was chill and the service was wonderful. We started with fried mushrooms. The were hot and crispy with tender whole mushrooms inside. They were served with a very tasty dipping sauce. The catfish was fried to perfection. Crispy, seasoned outside with a soft and flaky interior. The grits were out of this world. Hot, creamy, and full of flavor. We'd never had grits like this before. I ordered the shrimp and crawfish etouffee over the same delicious grits. Tender, juicy shrimp and crawfish in that velvety etouffee!! OMG!! I wished we lived closer. We'd definitely be regulars at Cafe Le Rue!! Take a bow sir!! You're definitely out here making taste buds dance!! Late review from January 2026

First time here...Sunday early afternoon, no wait, not busy. Waitress was nice but seemed hurried with no one really there. Ordered hushpuppy appetizer but we never got it...food came out so we just didn't say anything. Had pasta bowl with sausage and french toast bacon cheeseburger, 2 waters....$37 ish. Pasta was really soft and taste like jar sauce...when I think of Cajun I think of authentic flavors, luv and soul in food but this wasn't any of that. Cheeseburger tasted strange and they only cook it well done, no other option. No flavor at all. My husband got sick when we came home after eating as well. One and done for me.

Go see Kelly at Cafe le rue, you won’t be disappointed!!! I ordered the Shrimp & Crawfish Étouffée over Rice. Maybe the best I’ve ever had. If you like Cajun food, don’t miss Cafe le rue.
