Copeland’s of New Orleans

Beware:!! Bait and switch they advertise specials with no expiration dates. You get their show them coupon that is active on the website, they take your order… Then the manager comes to table and says last week was final date for that special! What!

Absolutely delicious!!! Crawfish fettuccine was amazing and the red beans and rice was out of this world!!! Our sever was very pleasant.

If you’re looking for a nice atmosphere to have a cozy dining experience, you’ve arrived at the right place. The hostesses are poliet, knowledgeable, and always there with a refill or menu. Now… moving on to the food. It’s a good attempt at above average fare, but falls short and is something like middle of the road wannabe papadeuxs, upscale italian, or other chain that gets it right. I ordered the baked stuffed fish with a side of mashed sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes came to the table scalding hot and in liquid form! No lie, it looked like baby food consistency. I thought it was gravy… umm it was served in a gravy boat… should have known. There was an unidentifiable 2^nd side I suspect was sucatash… maybe. The one good thing I can say about the dish is that the fish was cooked nicely. That’s it. My boyfriend had the shrimp Alfredo travesty that came with crab cakes on top… that was a sad mishmash. The crab cakes would have been better served alone on a bed of lettuce with lemon… but it was thrown on top… out of place and floating on a sad looking sea of noodles with runny sauce and too few shrimp. I guess this place Is the best Houma, LA can offer… but I’m not convinced.

The group I was with decided to eat here because it was the only thing open at 9pm on a Tuesday night that wasn’t Hooters or Applebees.
The hostess was sweet and handled herself well when some of my people were getting silly and picky. There were still quite a few patrons and we didn’t feel rushed despite the time. The one annoying thing is that our orders all came out at separate times; as mine came out first, I didn’t appreciate it getting cold as I waited for everyone else’s food to arrive.
I ordered the feature, something shrimp orleans. It was okay, but pretty salty. Someone let me try his bbq shrimp and it was far superior to my dish. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals alright.
The highlight of the night was easily the bananas foster cheesecake. It was sweet and creamy and loaded with plenty of whipped cream.
Overall, the service and food were satisfactory and above average of the local chains and I’d totally go back, but it’s not a high one on my list.

Copelands can always be counted on for quality and service, or so I thought. I have never written a review before, but the service I received compelled me to sign up on Unilocal just for this reason. In fact, I’m so dissatisfied, I’m writing this while sitting in the restuarant, questioning the mystery items on my bill.
The waitress (Angel) was slow, finally after taking our drink order, (I had a coffee), she walked by several times, forgetting our table completely. once she remembered the creamer for my coffee in the «bermuda triangle section» the coffee was too cold to drink, my son had been out of his drink for quite a while.
Just as we thought things could not get any worse, the appetizer arrived half way through the meal, after they took that back and brought the right appetizer we settled down, although we were all out of drinks again.
Things finally got better, as we finished our meal, as we were glad to be leaving. I normally love this place, and I can appreciate people have bad days. But in truth, I’m scared to come back here… so long Copelands, we’re leaving to go buy drinks!

It’s been a while since my last trip to Copeland’s, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the changes. Everything was delicious from the appetizer to the entrée. My server was great and was very versed in the menu. If ever in Houma I would strongly suggest this place compared to other options for any meal.
I had the catfish Acadiana for an entrée and of course the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer.

I came in knowing I wanted steak, I would return, but was not as excellent as previously ordered… Something was just a little off

Great service!
Very attentive and quick food delivery. Not gourmet food, but we knew that going in. Good for what they have. They offer a fairly wide selection for most people. Would definitely go back.

I LOVE this place. The food is amazing. Big portions with Big flavor. I will be coming back.

The service is ok, why I got sat next to a two year olds birthday party when the restaurant was ¾ empty is a mystery. I ordered the crawfish pasta after being told they were out of my first choice. The pasta was not fresh and the sauce came from a jar. The meal was salty and at the same time bland.
Try the burger joint next door.

Copeland’s of Houma gets a little worse each time I visit. I am not a healthy eater. My palate steers toward salty and fatty. And yet I find the food at Copeland’s to be way too salty, greasy, fatty, overseasoned, etc. to be appealing. With lots of other options all around, there’s really no good reason to eat here without a major menu overhaul.

If it wasn’t for the excellent wait staff and the delicious biscuits I would never eat here again. The «seafood» always tastes like it’s been in a warm refrigerator for months. I ordered the Shrimp Ducky and while the sauce was good, it was coated in salt (as is all of their food) and it just tasted old. For the price and reputation it really should be better.

Wow, what a difference location makes. The S/​O was in Houma for business and we went out to eat at this Location because it was convenient.
What is wrong with the Covington Copeland’s? Compared to here it was a completely different experience.
The restaurant itself was cleaner and more inviting. The food tasted fresh and was defiantly prepared better. The staff was friendly and make the dining experience better.
We had the same appetizers as last time. Stuffed Mushrooms and The Artichoke dip. Excellent, hot and bubbly Artichoke dip… and that fried Pasta with Parm. cheese on top, delicious. The mushrooms were fried to perfection.
As an Entrée I had the «CRABCAKES AND SHRIMP ALFREDO». Pretty good, the cakes were fried perfectly and complimented the Shrimp Pasta sauce well.
All and all a good meal.

Wait staff OK… fish was ok but I had two very large scales on my fish. Creamed spinach was good. Garlic butter was gross. Eggplant and mushrooms had no salt. My wife got a salad that consisted of 5 prices of apple and a dusting of blue cheese she had to ask for extra onside. Drinks were never refilled except by request. Overall not worth it at all. Just heard a server say «why can’t they bother their own server?» How rude can a place get?

Last time I ate there, I ordered a steak. They brought it to me literally swimming in grease. Second try, steak was over cooked and tons of grizzle.
I did have an eggplant/​pasta dish that wash very good, but food is VERY INCONSISTENT.

Waitress was slow on drink refills and food was ok, not great, cheesecake was really good thou

I have seen this restaurant several times. I love cajan cuisine. I decide try Shrimp Ducky with rice. Rice was overcooked. The dish was overall great (Could use more duck in dish). The service was average to above average. I will come back again. It will not be my first choice to attend for authentic cajun food.

Its a shame to say this place’s day in the sun is long gone. I stopped going after being disappointed too many times in a row with inconsistancy and salty food.
Its waaaaay past time to update the restaurant and menu.
BUT I can say the strawberry cheesecake napoleon is the shizz.
Which is why they get 2 and not 1 star.

Kaylie is a great bartender! But the food leaves alot to be desired. Crab ravioli was horrid. Way too much pasta and not enough crab. It tasted like a frozen meal warmed in the microwave. Steak Laboucherie with angel hair pasta was pretty good, but I got it two different times and it’s not very consistent.
Ordered Al’s favorite filet the last time I was there. Cooked just right and the quality of the meat was good, however, they had it floating in soooo much butter it was almost impossible to eat. Loaded with sauteed onions that you just do not need with a good filet.
Desserts were great, good plain cheesecake, and great banana foster’s cheesecake. Bread pudding was good, too.

This was my first time to a Copelands since I was a pre-​teen or teenager and I have to say I was nothing but disappointed! The décor is like a disappointing Applebee’s with table cloths.
The service was awful: our waiter forgot our appetizers and took quite a while to serve our food and re-​fill our water. It took way too long conserving it was 8pm on a Sunday night and the place was dead! no excuse for bad service and slow food.
The food was even worse: The jumbalaya pasta looked like a doctored up chef-​boy-​r-​dee and tasted like dog food out of a can. The steak and rice (?) looked awful and the fried oysters with mustard sauce (?) was disgusting. The shrimp creole (what I ordered) WAS palatable, but couldn’t make up for everything else at the table.
I don’t think I’ve ever written such a nasty review, but it was so bad.
