Mama's Oyster House and Papa's Bar and Grill
Description
"Coldest Beer in Town" Owners, Corwyn and Missy Aldredge, have been in the restaurant business since the 1990s and feel fortunate to be able to continue the success of Mama's and Papa's. Clay and Jana Mayeaux, original owners, did a wonderful job of providing an outstanding local dining experience for over 15 years.
Located in the Landmark Historic District overlooking the beautiful Cane River, the building, home to Mama's and Papa's, dates back to the late 1800s. Natchitoches was established in 1714 by Louis Juchereau de St. Denis. It is the oldest permanent settlement within the borders of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Natchitoches was founded as a French outpost on the Red River for Spanish-controlled Mexico; French traders settled there as early as 1699. The post was established near a village of Natchitoches Indians, after whom the city was named. After the United States' Louisiana Purchase of 1803, migration into the territory increased, and Natchitoches experienced a population boom. However, the course of the river shifted, bypassing Natchitoches and cutting off its connection with the Mississippi River. A 33-mile lake was left in the river's previous location. It became known as Cane River Lake.
