The place is super cute with a fun atmosphere. * Shrimp Po'Boy: packed with shrimp. HUGE so order a half. I loved that the shrimp aren't heavily battered or overly fried.

Billy's is definitely one of those must stop shops to visit when in Louisiana. Its been a few years…read moresince i've had there boudin but overall it tasted the same! The flavor and meat to rice ratio on the boudin is perfect and I love the crust, but I can say you must eat them fresh or else you'll need to reheat in the oven or airfryer because the crust does get chewy. My only complaint i'd say is that I wish they offered a mild boudin because even the original boudin has a bite to it that can be overwhelming to those who are sensitive. Other than that, the boudin is really good along with the crawfish boudin. On this visit I even tried the fried corn out of curiosity but I wasn't a fan. They even have delicious chicken and pork cracklin but if I had to choose I'd definitely pick the chicken cracklin! Overall, I'd recommend so give them a try, you won't regret it!!!

I was looking for a lunch place to visit after touring the Tabasco Factory. Cafe Jefferson was…read moreabout 20 minutes from the factory but from the Yelp rating I figured it was worth the drive. And it was! When you drive in the entrance of the Rip Van Winkle Gardens you're struck by how beautiful the scenery is and the immense trees. We loved seeing the peacocks that were free roaming. You enter through the gift store to go to the Cafe which is in back of the store. We were greeted and seated right away on the closed in porch of the restaurant. Our server was friendly and super helpful with our questions about the menu. I ordered the Seafood Heaven after asking which was her favorite between that and the Crab Meat Au Gratin. It came with a Caesar salad which needed a little more dressing but was good. The fresh baked rolls were warm, doughy goodness. My entree was delicious! Shrimp, crab meat, and crawfish on a bed of angel hair pasta topped with creamy basil sauce which was like a slightly spicy bisque. Dip the buttered bread in the sauce for a mouth watering experience! To boot the view over the lake and large tree was beautiful. I could see the tables in back with tree lights making for a romantic dinner.

Responding to Chelsa K.'s 1* review. As I am someone who was in the restaurant when it happened…read more I just think it's funny how you aren't mentioning y'all came in as 6 people and then wanted accommodations for 30 people during one of the busiest times of the night. Or that they argued with the amazing manager for nearly an hour total after being told they couldn't accommodate that size party. They're also leaving out the part where people from their group marched in and seated themselves, stood over occupied tables waiting for guests to leave, insisting the hosts clean the tables, and made the entire restaurant uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with behavior. Any group acting like that would've gotten the exact same response. In short, do better. Y'all came in and ruined everyone's dinner because y'all don't know how to plan ahead. Stop blaming people for your mistakes and take accountability.

This restaurant is known for their crawfish unfortunately I visited for a weekday lunch and they…read morewere posting a sign on the doors after I had walked in stating they don't serve crawfish until 4pm weekdays, 3pm on weekends. This may have been part of the reason its wasn't all that busy on a Tuesday lunch. Similar to some other restaurants in Louisiana I've visited, they have a side with a bar, to-go area and high tops, and a more family oriented side of the restaurant with a bunch of low top tables. Fried pork rinds are served with every table. They have daily plate lunches and the one day I came it was chicken fried steak. However, it's not usually a good idea to order CFS outside of Texas in my experience. Therefore, I ended up ordering the catfish and shrimp platter, served grilled instead and added a $5 strawberry margarita. The entree comes with a side salad but they only have seelct dressings and none which I would typically order, so i just settled on honey mustard. Margarita- for only $5 it's not bad and comes with either sugar or salt rim Catfish and shrimp platter - seasoned with a blackened seasoning but it wasn't spicy. The catfish filet was small and tasted like it was previously frozen. The shrimp were also small and didn't taste much better. Not sure I'd return if ever in Lafayette, as I was really looking for a more festive environment and more grilled options.

I've been coming to the Park Restaurant for many years now. While other restaurants in Abbeville…read morecome and go, the Park has stayed the same and keeps on serving up satisfying selections to locals and visitors alike. The Park has a big breakfast following. They do pancakes and omelettes in addition to their standard breakfast fare. If you get a chance you should certainly try their Sweet Potato Pancakes! A Southern speciality! I am usually in the Park for lunch, and they are excellent for a midday meal. It should be mentioned that if you want to eat breakfast for lunch, they will accommodate you till 2PM! If you want a more traditional lunch, they have a daily Plate Lunch that pairs a hearty entree with rice and two sides. They also have a great selection of sandwiches ranging from a simple BLT to loaded Po-Boys. There's also a Crab Patty Burger for something delicious and different! But that's not all! There's soups, salads, and seafood! There's also a Short Order section of the menu. For the health conscious, there's a selection of grilled seafood served with grilled broccoli! There's also dessert! Usually there's slices of three to four pies, and often bread pudding. This will be a great finish for a homestyle meal. It's a small historic building, that's not too fancy. In fact it is so historic that the restrooms are outside out back. However, this shouldn't deter the visitor looking for a good meal, as we all know that local hole-in-the-walls are worth visiting...
