There’s something special about gathering around the water in South Louisiana. It brings people together, slows life down a little, and creates memories that last for generations. That spirit has always been part of Middendorf’s, and now we’re excited to announce the completion of our pond project at Middendorf’s Slidell.

What began as a vision to create an even more welcoming outdoor experience for our guests has become one of the most unique features on our property. The finished pond area offers a peaceful place where families can relax, kids can have fun, and everyone can enjoy a little slice of Louisiana charm.

Want to see the pond being built? Go behind-the-scenes with Middendorf’s Owner Horst Pfeifer as he turns his vision into a reality. Click here to watch this special episode of “Hangin’ with Horst.”
The completed project adds even more to the Middendorf’s experience. Enjoy a great meal on The Porch and unwind with great views of the pond plus a pleasant breeze. The kids can also burn off some energy in the sand play area with tiki huts, fountains and palm trees.
We’re so proud of how of how our little outside oasis has turned out, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself.
Come spend the day with us at Middendorf’s Slidell — where great food, family fun, and Louisiana hospitality come together.
