“ Always a great dining experience. I had the Gosh Dang Shrimp Poboy (Thursdays only) and sweet potato fries and it was amazing. A little spicy and sweet and over stuffed. Josh, our server, was great. ”
“ Another great meal. We look forward to coming to Tunks every time we visit Louisiana. My husband proposed to me at sunset July 2,2011 and then took me inside and we ate a delicious meal. It is definitely on our place to visit every chance we get. ”
“ THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! We stopped in on a road trip through Louisiana and wanted some good local food. Did not disappoint. Josh was our server and he was polite and friendly. To start we got the fired pickles jalapenos and onion strings triple starter and it was a dump truck of fried goodness. That was a meal by itself. We got the big Seafood platter, snd steak and shrimp for the main course... mind blown! Make your dreams come true and eat here. Oh, and the view of the lake was relaxing. ”

“ We visit Tunks quite often and they never ever disappoint. We went to the oyster bar, the bartender is phenomenal. No matter how busy she was, she was always smiling and has the most upbeat attitude. Top notch customer service skills!! We sat at the bar until a table became available. Our waiter, the food and the music were all 10/10. If you’re debating on giving this place a try, you definitely should. We will be back soon. ”
