The sides were a little less flavorful and I was disappointed. I ordered green beans, cabbage, red beans and yams. Yams were good. I'd order chicken and Mae my own sides. It's a drive through so I can't speak to the ambiance. The service and staff were awesome and felt very much like family!! I love that! Will be back for the fried chicken for sure!

Lafayette yall got a gold mine here. After hearing about this place for years, seeing the reviews…read morefrom big influencers, and my patience wearing thin of not trying this place, I finally got here! We got here not too far after opening. There was a short line and it moved quick. I ordered my items and sat down to hear my name. When I opened the plates I knew I was in the right place. The fish is fried perfectly. The chicken as well though I could have used a little more seasoning. Sides were good. But that turkey wing. My hubs took one bite. Looked at me and smiled. I knew it was on. I don't even really like turkey but I would eat three of those happily for thanksgiving. If you see the turkey wing get it! Can't wait for my next trip back.

They only had a few meats left when we got there and one of them was the stuffed turkey wings, which was highly recommended. It was cool, but nothing like I expected. I thought it would be packed with flavor, but I needed that Louisiana red rooster hot sauce for the extra flavor which I thought would have been marinated in the meat. The star of the show was that okra seafood stew. That was a 10 out of 10 for me! We got the cabbage, but I have never in my life had sweet sugary cabbage. That threw me totally off! My brother loved it and it's definitely an acquired taste. Not for me at all. We had about three hours till closing, and there was a small line so the place does great business and people love it. If I were ever back in Lafayette, I would definitely come back to try something different.

You can get it over their French bread or just about anything else! The redfish is amazing, the chicken salad is fantastic, Nina's chicken (grilled or fried) and veggies are delectable, the potatoes are ginormous and filled generously with your choice of topping. The BBQ potato is at least two meals and the one filled with crawfish sauce is just ridiculous! Definitely a favorite spot for an incredible meal anytime!

I wouldn't know because I didn't have room in my belly for anything else. We started with the crawfish bread. You would think it would get soggy from all that delicious creamy crawfish sauce. But NO it stayed toasty and firm. Now on to the main event. Reddish Magnolia and Redfish Lafayette. Both came with what seamed like the same creamy flavorful sauce as the bread. Services was excellent, they took good care of us. This was our first time and won't be our last.

Look, if you all have not tried the blueberry cream cheese pie from this place, please do. Everything about this pie was absolutely delicious. As you all can see, the pie‑dough to filling ratio is perfect. Now, you all can't tell the texture and feel of the crust just from looking at a picture, but when I tell you it was perfect. The lemon pie was good, and some people who like lemon pies will think it was delicious, but that Blueberry Cream Cheese pie is just top tier. I picked up the Strawberry Cream Cheese the following day, and I liked it, but it was not as good as the Blueberry one. Besides Delicious pies they do serve plate lunches and burgers. The service was excellent and the prices are awesome.
