"I might have just actually ascended to a higher plane of Houma's existence. Listen, I didn't just have lunch at 531 Liberty Cafe today; I had a spiritual awakening disguised as a three-course fever dream. It started with their Double House Margarita on the rocks. It was quite libatious (my new favorite word, thank you) with enough salt to satisfy a Victorian sailor. It was the perfect, limy pucker kick-off of what evolved into a culinary marathon. "Sensational" is a polite word for the Ahi Tuna Salad. In reality, it was so fresh I half-expected it to start telling me secrets of the deep sea. Light & vibrant, this merman masterpiece made me feel like I was making healthy life choices—which was important, because then the burger arrived. The Bacon Jam Burger. Good grief. This isn't just a "next level" burger; this burger has moved out of the building, bought its own skyscraper, and is currently looking down on all other sandwiches with pity. The bacon jam is a sweet, smoky bear hug all the way around your soul. Out of this world. I’m reasonably sure I saw a UFO hovering over the cafe sniffing it out. 5 stars all around. If you’re in Houma and you aren't eating here, I honestly don’t know what you’re doing with your life. Go for the tuna, stay for the jam, and always extra salt on that rita, cuz sometimes life be salty like that. You’re welcome!"

"531 Liberty Cafe is a charming spot serving comforting American cuisine, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. I ordered the honey-lemon chicken with corn grits, and it was absolutely amazing — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and wonderfully balanced. The atmosphere has that “great little place” feel: cozy, welcoming, and relaxed. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, stopping by just the right amount to make sure you have everything you need without ever feeling rushed. Fabulous food, warm service, and a comfortable setting make 531 Liberty Cafe a must-visit."

"Excellent food, very fresh ingredients. We had the Shrimp pasta and the bacon jam burger. I customized the pasta w extra shrimp and bacon and it was very, very good. We had the empanadas as an app and the bread pudding for dessert. Great service, owner came to the table to check on us, really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely come back."

"Great atmosphere! There’s plenty of seating options: downstairs and upstairs (both inside and outside). The empanadas were so good! Drinks are favorable. Service was perfect. I highly suggest stopping in for a meal!"

"Difficult to find a place to park because of its location; It’s downtown surrounded by medical offices. The smells outside are unpleasant. The menu is a little pricey for sandwiches. But everything sounded like it would taste great. I ordered the cheesesteak with sweet potato fries and tea. The bread was very soft and fresh. The first bite of sandwich was delicious until the extreme saltiness of the cheesesteak filling hit me. The sweet potato fries were also way too salty. That meal probably had a week’s worth of sodium in it. The service was very good. They just need to take the salt box away from the cook."
