The standout dish at LeMaire’s is undoubtedly the catfish, cooked to perfection, with a light batter that leaves customers craving more. Diners rave about the hospitable staff, such as Alana B and LaCrista, who actually make you feel at home with their attentive service. The restaurant shines during peak lunch hours, offering a variety of options from shrimp to Cajun classics, catering to all tastes.
The vibrant beer and tea selections also receive high praise, enhancing the dining experience. Many savor the hush puppies, prepared to perfection, turning even the most adamant skeptics into fans.

Most Disliked
While most experiences at LeMaire’s are positive, some diners mention that the lunch rush can lead to longer wait times, particularly on busy Fridays. The kitchen can get overwhelmed, causing food to arrive later than expected, which might be frustrating for those on a tight lunchtime schedule.
A few guests have noted that certain dishes, like the boiled shrimp, could use a bit more seasoning to elevate their flavor profile. Though many love the homemade sweet tea, a handful of opinions suggest that it can sometimes be overly sweet for those who prefer a milder brew. Despite these concerns, the overall experience tends to outweigh any minor issues.

I came in for the first time today and had the "catfish only" plate and it was excellent! I was so surprised after so many other catfish places I've been to that weren't as good. It was cooked perfectly, tasted great, the batter was light, and even the color of it was perfect. Give that Sunday afternoon cook a raise! My waitress Alana B was one of the nicest waitresses I've had in years! She was a genuine, lovely lady who I could tell really liked her job at your restaurant and likes customers. Give her a raise too! Thank you for having such a nice restaurant, and now that I know where it is, I'll be back and tell everyone else to visit you too.

Fried fish was delicious especially with Cajun seasoning sprinkled on it. Boiled shrimp were huge, and equally as delicious. Waitress was very attentive. Can't wait to return!

We had family visiting from Florida, and seafood was just what we needed. We've been meaning to try this place we always drive by, so we stopped in for a few meals to go. The staff's warm welcome, efficient service, and mouthwatering food have us eager to return and explore the menu further - maybe next time we'll even dine in.
