Hear from our valued guests
The best gumbo!!!! And, fish, ribs, sides... Everything was good!!! Went there Monday night and had to go back Tuesday night!!!
We had a tough journey with our rented EV and we left the car charging and decided to get an Uber to have lunch here and what an amazing experience after the stress. Our server was an absolute sweetheart that just made our day better. The food was exceptional. I loved my Crawfish Etouffe and my Irish coffee. Must visit if you are ever near the area. Our Uber driver also gave us a thumbs up selecting this restaurant.
Absolutely amazing food! Our first time here. We will be back. Our waiter was fantastic. The manager Brandon came by to greet us and make sure our food was good. We had the bang bang alligator app, Cobb salad with crab, and alligator with grits and étouffée with an egg. All were 5 stars!!
Recommended to us by locals, and we can see why. The food was fantastic, the environment was friendly, and the service was great. We ate good, and would come back for round two if we were in the area.
Food so good, service amazing. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. The setting was perfect for family and friends lunch.
Wow! Some of the best red beans and rice I've had anywhere, including New Orleans. And my husband loved the crawfish etoufee pot pie. Had to get carry-out containers for both in order to save room for the delicious bananas Foster bread pudding. Our server, Amanda, was helpful, friendly and excellent overall.
Great atmosphere and the food was great. In town for business and I will be back. Slightly more than I usually spend for dinner, and honestly gladly paid up a little more for this great food. My stuffed chops melted in my mouth and THE BEST FLAVOR. Will repeat.
My family and I came for a late dinner while stopping in Lafayette for the night. It was the best choice we made for a meal! I order the catfish mon dieu and it was absolutely delicious!! My husband got the redfish and my daughter got the fettuccine pasta with crawfish. It was all amazing. Kesha our server was so sweet and didn’t rush us even though we were the last table to leave. If we’re ever in town or traveling through again, we will definitely be back.
Dinner was a hit again. Pepper jack Boudin Balls as an appetizer. We both had Crawfish Etouffee (perfectly cooked crawfish) w/ a grilled veggie skewer. The pappy in law had a salad and I had Corn Maque Choux. All superb! Both of us have leftovers.
On the first day of our vacation I asked Google for the best restaurant in Lafayette Louisiana and this was the 2nd place that popped up in review, well let me tell you it should be the 1st. From the moment we walked it the whole vibe here is incredible. The restaurant is decorated in traditional New Orleans flair and everyone we encountered from Kim the hostess to our super friendly and knowledgeable waitress Gracey D to Kristie the Manager who inquired on the quality of our meal and the Bartender who made me a perfect Old Fashioned everyone here receives my highest marks. **Now the food** 1st we sampled the Crab cakes and on the first bite these immediately catapulted to a top 3 rating with me. Meaning to fairly judge the best I'd have to have the 3 best in the country side by side to decide the best and I am sure these would be a contender for the #1 spot. Next we tried the Crawfish stuffed mushrooms and they were also succulent and delicious. For our entrée on Gracey's recommendation we had the Crawfish Enchiladas, (They are Gracey's favorite) and we can definitely taste why! These where mouthwatering delicious. As were the Truffle fried potatoes we had as our side (another of Gracey's recommendations) she really knows the menu. If Guy Fieri has not been in to sample the wonderful cusine here I think he would be pleasantly surprised. This place definitely wins my Best Choice award! Great Job everyone 👏!
