Heading eastbound and wanted to stop to get some hood Cajun food while in Louisiana. This place did not disappoint. Just blocks from I-20 made it an easy choice. The crawfish étouffée was perfect served in a bread bowl on this rainy day. The red beans and rice were served with rice and cornbread. Neither plate had anything left on it. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Was in town for work and finished early. Had stopped in at the chamber of commerce to grab a geocache and they recommended Trapps. So I took the locals suggestion and came for lunch. I got fried crawfish poboy with fries. The fries were cold but the poboy was hot and tasty. There was lots of fried crawfish with their house sauce. I sat outside overlooking the water. It was a nice lunch but I should have gotten a different side.

Sorry gang but no pix tonight. With my region devastated by Helene and Milton I came over to Louisiana to help with a school here. My old stumping grounds. Love Trapps as it is a staple in Monroe area. Been here many times over the years and tonight didn't disappoint. Group of four and set immediately indoors. Outdoors had a bit of a wait but a bit cool so we opted to eat in. We had Boudin for appetizers and all liked. Then I had the boiled shrimp with a cup of chicken gumbo and a side salad, there was a fried sampler platter, a catfish plate that was huge and then a poor boy and a cup of bisque at the table. All plates were clean when we finished but we had to tag team the catfish plate as it was more than one could eat. Got there early enough for happy hour so had a great pair of draft adult beverages. Tap list is shallow with only five on tap but we made do. Service was awesome and so was the food. Always a good choice.

I don't know what I was expecting, but Trapp's far exceeded it. I sat on the back patio with a view of the river and city lights. I started with fried banana peppers and roulade sauce, then moved on to the boudin-stuffed chicken breast topped with more roulade sauce. Every bite was delicious, and the staff was very nice and attentive. I'll be back in town this week and will be making a second visit with colleagues in tow.

Good Location right on the river. Easy to find and park. We got the Lunch Shrimp Platter. Shrimp was good and not spicy. Homemade Mashed potatoes is good and fresh. The spiciness comes with the asparagus. Good well but too hot for us. The atmosphere is nice and has that river feel to it. Looked like there was plenty of waitstaff and ours were super sweet and attentive. (Abby). Price is right for what you get too. You can eat inside or outside on the covered patio. It is worth a stop.

Exactly what we were looking for - dog friendly and local food that was delicious. We popped in this afternoon as lunch had been forgotten during my antique shopping. Everything was really good and our server was incredible, on top of it but not pushy at all. She knew when we wanted her and I like that. Wish I wasn't so forgetful....we were outside and she had long strawberry blond hair. We started with Mom's Bourque's Seafood Nachos and they were loaded with shrimp and crawfish and so delicious, then followed up with half a fried catfish Po-boy which was perfection and a cup of gumbo! I also had a Bourbon Peach Smash which was excellent. There were fans on the patio, and it was shady, but boy was it ever hot. Regardless, we ate it all and thoroughly enjoyed our river view. Lovely spot. Check it out!
