Our Story
In 2002, a few lifelong padnas from down the bayou in Des Allemands had a vision to expand on a popular local family restaurant. When that model restaurant burned, it left a huge void for the food and experiences it created. From that tragedy, a new family restaurant was spawned. Spahr’s Downtown is rooted in its heritage, honors its traditions and strongly supports its communities. Our regulars and guests have become our best of friends and we are committed to providing a high level of hospitality and culinary excellence. We’re open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and supper. Take your time to relax and enjoy our unique and comfortable downtown.
