    I love coming to the Riverside Food Lab. But Dhat Creole Grill is my spot. I've been here twice and my experience has been wonderful on both occasions. Friendly, professional service. I always order the Jambalaya fries or the catfish and shrimp. I highly recommend both! They're pricey but the give you a lot of food so it's worth it. Both times they have been so well seasoned and delicious. Especially the catfish! I love the catfish! Never dry either or overcooked. A little spicy but just the right amount for me. πŸ˜‹

    Its so inconsistent, sometimes ill go and the beignets are very good and another time they'll be terrible. Today they were flat, greasy, powder on some no powder on others, one huge one and a tiny one and almost no dough inside. Its expensive when you get nothing in return.

    Ordered side of red beans and rice. Definitely not red beans and rice that I got that they are selling as such. No flavor. I got a side of it, tried it and threw in the trash.

    Service was good, staff was nice & wait time for the weekend was not that bad. I was excited to try their beignets, unfortunately out of 8 only 2 were well cooked. The rest were raw. Very disappointed, I hope they can review their items before giving them to customers.

    Was about to take a bite of the macaroni and a piece of hair was inside of the food. I also tried the veggie patty, but it didn’t taste authentic like I have had before where the crust is a bit more flaky. The catfish was seasoned well though.

    Drive 40 minutes to get beignets for a small party. Told I could only get 1 order at a time and had to wait 15 minutes between orders. Told we can’t overwhelm the kitchen and there was only 1 person waiting for food. Very disappointed. They should change this policy. Update. It took 5 minutes to get the order and they were gracious to let me order a second. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Guess they kitchen isn’t overwhelmed. Update. While typing my update the second order came out. I’m so confused about the kitchen capacity.

    I have never in my life been more disappointed with a place that refers to themselves as a creole cuisine. I ordered Fried Catfish and Shrimp. I have never been served Catfish Nuggets and it taste like it was Frozen and pre-battered. I am so grossed out rightnow. I will never come back. #CreoleAtAll

    REVISION: Responded very quickly and refunded me for the inconvenience. ORIGINAL: Ordered Mac and Cheese WITHOUT shrimp and it still came with it. Cashier emphasized that it would still cost the same price without the shrimp which was acceptable, but what is not acceptable is the fact that shrimp still made its way onto the plate. My girlfriend is allergic to shellfish and seafood… since it was buried under the food, she took a bite, and least to say it came as a bitter surprise and shock when we found multiple shrimp. Very disappointed.

    Looking for something sweet? Definitely need to try the beignets at Dhat Creole Grill! Located inside of the Riverside Food Lab, all their food menu is phenomenal. Check their Instagram feed for when they do their special beignets with fruit...this is a must try experience!

    I went in to order some begnets and was greeted with an angry response telling me you can only order one order! So I explained I drove far and would have liked two orders and basically was told rudely to be considerable of the other customers! She was just being rude and was not allowing me to order food! If someone comes in and orders 2 or 4 of the same order does she tell them only one per customer? That didn't make sense to me? Rude but good begnets.

    Saturday night @ 9:30p and NO beignets! Or do you not want to make anymore? FYI, the beignets are the best thing they offer, they should always have those on deck. I will pass on everything else. So disappointing & poor weekend planning.

    So in the food lab. And walked by this place. Saw a neon sign that said hot beignets and got excited. Went over o order them. They came out fresh covered with powdered sugar and raspberry sauce. Delicious.
