"They really ought to put a sign on the door that says "By Reservation Only." If you try to walk in for an impromptu drink at the bar while exploring downtown Thibodaux, you’ll quickly feel like an unwelcome guest who needs to be hurried along. When we asked if there was a spot at the bar, they technically didn’t have to say yes, but they seated us anyway, even though it was clear they didn’t want to (without a reservation). The service was incredibly fast—usually a good thing, but in this case, it felt overly rushed and uncomfortable. After our first visit, we thought we might have been reading too much into it, but our second visit confirmed that this was a recurring issue. We understand that the atmosphere plays a big role, but they should be upfront about their preferences. There’s no need for passive-aggressiveness. On a brighter note, the Old Fashioned cocktail is definitely worth the awkwardness. For a smoother experience, though, it’s best to make a reservation."
