A great place to eat and meet locals. Get a taste of real Southern cooking, such as fried catfish, fried frog legs, or just relax with drinks and appetizers. A sure way to have a great time on the Natchitoches River Bank!

I've been eating at Grayson's since I was a little girl. They have the best barbeque I've ever tasted. It definitely has a local feel and smells out-of-this-world good. Highly recommended. Try the chip sandwich on a homemade bun and the chocolate cookies. The best time to go is lunchtime.
