About this business

Ponchatoulas was founded in February 1996, by original owner Johnny Gaudet, who then partnered with Chris Garriga in 2004. With a passion for good food and fun, Gaudet opened the restaurant on the bustling Park Avenue in downtown Ruston. The building housed a fire station in the early 1900's, complete with the big red fire truck and even horse-drawn carriages lining the downtown streets.

First time there; had sampler basket for appetizer, had fried oysters and onion rings, son had shrimp Poboy and husband had roast beef poboy! Food was outstanding, service was great and had to get take home containers because you were served an abundance of food and you could not eat it all. Was still delicious that night. Will be back and try the 3/4 pound hamburger steak. I give it a 5 star rating!!!

The food and service were great. Loved the atmosphere and being able to go there with family we haven't seen in years made it special. The gumbo,catfish especially the stuffed, boudin balls, shrimp and crawfish were very good. Great place to go as evidenced by the crowds waiting to get in. The wait isn't long and worth it. 

Business response:

Thank you so so much Donald! We are happy to hear y’all were pleased with your experience! We hope to see you again soon ☺️
