Most excellent! The shrimp and corn soup, catfish sandwich and nachos/cheese were all delicious! The counter service young lady with the glasses was polite, professional and efficient which topped off the great meal.

The food is almost as good as I remember. Took longer than I remember to get food, like thirty five minutes! And that was for basic burger combo. Next time I'll definitely call ahead of time. It was rather busy and full of customers even during a time when it wasn't considered lunch or dinner hour. Staff all appeared very busy but nice she courteous.

My visit was initially very hectic on the inside. Some regulars guided me to where I order and told me that they've never seen it as busy as it was today. I came today (Friday) at noon. The regulars also gave me a brief history about the place and told me that everything on the menu was fantastic. Leblanc's has a very nice family atmosphere and I even had a worker on the hot lunch line offer to check on my order after 40 minutes. The place was super busy so be prepared to wait for a while at lunch time. As the sign says, "it's good food, not fast food." It took 50 minutes to place my order and receive my food. During this time waiting I did become enticed by the hot lunch that had catfish and fried chicken. Visually their food on the hot lunch line appeared miles ahead of what's served at the Jett's Food Mart. The inside of the restaurant was pretty clean and well maintained given the storied history of the building. I walked away with a cheeseburger and fries with a vegetable plate containing broccoli rice, cabbages and okra and tomato. The burger patty was less seasoned than I expected but it was a good quality homestyle burger. They serve all toppings on the burger except ketchup. Nothing to complain about. The fries were also a great complement. There is also plenty of salt, pepper and other condiments that you can use to your liking. The vegetable plate was absolutely fantastic and flavorful. Cabbages were full of tender meat and the broccoli rice has visible onions, plenty of cheese and was very delicious. I have a feeling that this is the best hot lunch line in Zachary. I will be back.

Long time since I ate at Leblanc's. The service is great, due to my mobility issues, they brought my food out. Actually the only thing I can complain about is tasted like old grease and lots of it. Bags were really greasy, not good on the stomach but can say the seafood box was worth it. Great portions, no other complaints. I'll eat there again.

We stopped by for burgers recently. They are seating (social distancing) during COVID-19. They were busy with take out orders as well. The burgers tasted great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want a great burger, check them out!
