| On July 5, 1977 construction began on a huge
building near the water of Lake Kincaid. The builder, E.A. "Tunk"
Andries, Jr., must have felt a little like old Noah because
there were a few snickers around here and there. To make a long
story short, after nine months of sweat, frustration and plain,
honest, hard work, Tunk's Cypress Inn opened on the clear cool
night of March 21, 1978. A lot of folks came; mistakes were
made; but we all held on; and we're still here.
The goal of our restaurant, as with all others, is customer
satisfaction while making a profit. To attain this goal we've
kept in mind what its founder, "Mr. Tunk", said
to a friend who asked, "What kind of restaurant will
this be?" His reply: "This will be a place where
any man can feel comfortable and welcome with his family;
to relax and enjoy a good meal at a reasonable price; not
too fancy, but with none of the good things left out."
Now we invite you to "feel welcome" and enjoy the
rustic atmosphere and the beautiful view of Kincaid Lake.
As you glance at your menu, make a selection the list of traditional
Louisiana food prepared our own special way. Then you be the
judge...see if "none of the good things are left out".
Thank you for dining with us.
Your hosts,
Jimbo and Sandy Thiels
