Great atmosphere along with great food to make one awesome dining experience! Our restaurant has been in existence since 1926 in Downtown New Roads, Louisiana, and though it is not the original building, Morel's has been serving food to customers since before your grandmother can remember. In 1950 a small cabin sat on the banks of beautiful False River, available for fishermen to rent for the week

end. Thereafter, in 1974, the area along the lake was developed and in 1983 the Morels, the owners of the cabin, turned the cabin into a “Bait Shop.”

The fishermen enjoyed the convenience of the “Bait Shop” so much that they requested that the owners also provide them with sandwiches and drinks to take on their fishing trips. The people of New Roads added their requests for hot soups and plate lunches, and Morel’s Restaurant formed. Still on the banks of False River, in the shadow of that small fishing cabin, Morel’s Restaurant has grown to become a landmark for all who desire excellent Southern cuisine and a tradition for all New Roadians who still fondly call it “The Bait Shop.”

Our restaurant has a River Room which is situated directly over the water and overlooks False River, with amazing sunsets and vistas for your party or event. To rent this spectacular room, please email us or call us in advance to determine availability for your event.

Friday Lunch Specials!

**Apparently there is quite the shortage wih crab claws lately. We know you miss them, and trust us so do we. We have been unable to get any through our distributors and the ones we could have gotten are frozen (and we don't want that!) So we apologize for the inconvenience, but at this point in time, we will not have crab claws until likely mid next week.
