Bobby Hebert's Cajun Cannon Restaurant and Grill is a creole sports bar that is fun and serves tasty food. The staff makes everyone feel welcome, whether they are a regular or a newcomer. Since Bobby Hebert's is kid-friendly, it is a fantastic place for families to stop by for a delicious meal and enjoy each other's company. There are so many tasty offerings at Bobby Hebert's. The seafood gumbo is a must try, as are the Cajun French fries. Seafood lovers should check out the crab cakes with mushroom cream sauce or the barbecue shrimp. The restaurant does not skimp on dessert options! The Oreo crumble cake is mouthwatering and is covered with chocolate. The Kentucky bourbon pecan pie is topped with a lovely scoop of ice cream. For a classic, customers can't go wrong with the bandit's root beer float.

Service and ambience were amazing! My only disappointment was not being able to get an egg-white omelet in place of a regular omelet.

It was my first time to Tana. It’s was as good as advertised. Jason was excellent and the food was tasty and delicious. A very pretty restaurant but casual enough to not have to over dress. My only request is that they add a few more pasta recipes. 4 isn’t enough in my opinion. I will definitely go back.

My husband and I visited Toup’s for our anniversary. We made our reservation online and the restaurant was aware we were there for a special evening. They greeted us with a Happy Anniversary and brought us two mocktails as a gift. We ordered the meat board and broccoli salad to share and it was fantastic! The meats were paired well with additions on the board, the salad crisp and flavorful. 100% would revisit and recommend! Fantastic hospitality, service and flavor.
