There’s certainly something special about dining in a restaurant that holds a lot of history. Here in Louisiana, there’s no shortage of historic restaurants, and we’ve found one of the best. Hiding in the tiny town of Washington, the Steamboat Warehouse in Louisiana serves up some amazing food in a historic atmosphere for a memorable meal that you’re sure to love. Let’s check it out.

With a population of less than 1,000, Washington may be a small town outside of Opelousas, but it’s holding a big secret.

And that’s the Steamboat Warehouse Restaurant.
This rustic restaurant has been a favorite for locals since they opened in 1988, but the building dates back much further.

Construction on the building began in 1819 and was completed around 1823. For many years, Washington was once the largest inland port between New Orleans and St. Louis.
Restored in 1977, the Steamboat Warehouse is a beautifully rustic restaurant nestled on the banks of Bayou Courtableau.

The only thing better than the view is the food.
