So, okay, you saw "Steel Magnolias" and you keep hoping you'll meet the characters. Guess what: you might. I travel all over the South, well most of the country, but if I was born in Boston let's say my roots are in Rapids Parish. For this reason, perhaps, I forgive false expectations and simply enjoy every excuse to swing by... more

The restaurant is located on the waterfront in historical Natchitoches, which you can't beat. Inside was clean, but had a bit of a Denny's-feel to it (plastic-topped tables and fake plants). Most the diners around us were older and by the time we finished eating (8pm) the place was nearly empty. So clearly this is a popular spot for the... more

Three of us went to Natchitoches the day after Christmas to see the lights and wanted a nice meal. We've eaten Cajun food for years so we had high expectations, I guess. The Landing has been around a long time, so we reserved a table there. The restaurant itself is in a wonderful location and has a nice atmosphere, but... more

Look I don't want to be too harsh but we had five people for lunch and ordered just about every type of food they had on the menu. If the made it - it is below average to bad - if they got it from a food distributor (like the onion rings) they are fine. Crawfish ettoufee - bad; fried... more

We eat here every Christmas season. Be sure to request a seat by the windows to enjoy the view. more

There are so many wonderful things about the Landing. The location is right across from the river, in one of the historic downtown riverfront buildings. You get a real sense of where you are when you're there... old Louisiana. It's a beautiful historic place. And did I mention the food? (almost forgot) Delicious! I sampled everyone's food at my table,... more

So impressed with The Landing. Not a really fancy restaurant (I think there's only one in town, but it was closed for the summer), but a local jewel no less. Our waitress was charming and helpful, and our adult drinks were perfect. My husband ordered the 8oz. filet, and it was cooked to perfection. The steak tasted exactly how it... more

My husband and I ate there for lunch on July 3rd, great service and great food. I ordered the crawfish po'boy with sweet potato fries, they were to die for, delicious!! My husband ordered the chicken fried chicken with gravy also very good. Our waiter mentioned the July 2008 menu for dinner only. They have a selection of foods with... more

Visited Natchitoches for the Christmas festival in December 2007 and ate at the Landing Restaurant twice, once at lunch the 2nd time at dinner. Excellent experience both times. The restaurant is in the middle of downtown and it was beautiful with all the Christmas lights along the main street. Service was prompt and friendly and the prices were very reasonable.... more
