- KkalaHouston •49 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 6, 2025Steaks are always delicious, cooked to order. Generous drinks, crisp salad. Service a bit off tonight, tables not full when we arrived, some confusion on who was waiting on us, requested items (extra butter, needed a new knife) seemed to be forgotten until walking by you again and "Oh hon I'm on my way to get it no." But again, food was delicious and a 6 oz filet with crisp salad and baked potato for $34 is a nice deal!More infoSaltgrass Steakhouse - Lake CharlesPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Lake Charles•4.4
Discover Lake Charles
The cultural capital of Southwest Louisiana, Lake Charles is immersed in the Cajun culinary tradition and offers a seafood-centric restaurant scene. Shrimp caught fresh from the nearby Gulf is on many menus, and you can enjoy it sautéed, fried, baked, boiled or broiled. However, the most uniquely Louisianan shrimp dish is the shrimp pistolette, which can also be made with crawfish. It is a seafood-stuffed rolled drizzled in a savory sauce and then baked or deep-fried. Boudin, another local calling card, is a kind of Cajun sausage that some Lake Charles eateries make fresh and serve as finger food. Also commonly served is "bayou-style rum" made from local sugar cane. Finally, if you want to go all-out on local cuisine, try the gumbo, frog legs or gator meat.
