The red beans and rice we spot on, but the stuffed bread stole the show! This place is an institution. Couldn't stop eating! They almost had to roll me out! read more

The service was amazing. The food was amazing the ambience and the crowd that was eating. There was very friendly. The only reason I'm giving it a four out of five stars is the fact that the restaurant does not serve sweet tea, not a dealbreaker for me, however southern home-cooked food taste better with sweet tea. read more

You have to check this place out if you're ever in Lafayette, LA. They're only open during the week until I believe 2pm or so, but it's an absolute must if you're in the area. Their plate lunches are so reasonably priced and they give you a TON of food. This has become one of my favorite local hidden gems. On top of the amazing food (so far I've tried the red beans and the chicken fricasse), they're always so kind and are genuinely happy to see you pop in. The building is actually a little house, which is so fitting because it feels like you're walking into a friend's place for some amazing home cooked food. If you're ever in Lafayette during the week and need some lunch, come here! You will leave needing a food coma nap. read more

Creole Lunch House - Chicken fricasse with greens and black eye peas - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Great food and service, well worth the detour off I-10! Small inside, but everyone was friendly, and made room to eat. Food made from scratch, you can see the kitchen from inside! read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's tucked away in a neighborhood. It's definitely a hole in the wall but it's good ole home cookin'. I got the fried catfish and it was perfectly cooked. My mouth is salivating just thinking about the catfish. I also got two sides: red beans and greens. Both were very tasty. My wife got the chicken fricassee and loved it. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat. The only negative was they didn't have sweet tea. They do have sweetener but it's not the same to me. Besides that, this place is 5 stars without a doubt. read more

Thai is the epitome of a hole in the wall restaurant. The pork chops was tasty and very well seasoned. The peas both sweet and black eyed were awesome. Now for the stuffed bread it was the best thing I ate on this entire trip. The mix of the flavors in the bread is exactly what I want when thinking creole this is the flavor. read more

Creole Lunch House - Creole stuffed bread, navy beans, and spinach - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

This place was absolutely worth getting off IH10 on the drive home from New Orleans. We had the fried pork chop and the smothered pork chop and it was delicious. Spinach is tasty and a little spicy. You can get red beans and rice as a small side, just ask. The cornbread is also tasty. Servers were friendly and courteous. This place is a little piece of heaven on earth. Cafeteria style service. Also, they now take credit cards. Yay! read more

My sister introduced me to this secret(not so secret) gem. The stuffed breads are the big draw here but their plate lunches are wonderful too and they give you plenty to eat. If you walk away hungry, you left half your foodvuneaten. Creole House is southern home cooking at its best. The people are so friendly, if you've been away for awhile, they greet you like you've been missed while you were away. There isn't much sitting room and you may have to share a table with someone you don't know, but what a great way to make a new friend, over great food. You may have to look for it but once you've found it, you'll never forget. Finding it is WELL WORTH the effort read more

Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood on the outskirts of town, you wouldn't know the spring green colored cottage on the corner is the Creole Lunch house save for the small sign in the front and the unmarked gravel parking lot on the side. As you enter the tiny cottage you smell a little grease, seasoning and food cooked with love. Five or so tables are along the right wall across from the main counter and a couple in the front. Seating for about 15 or so people is available inside and there is a plastic table and a few chairs on the front porch in case anyone would want to eat outside. Open for lunch only, Monday- Friday 11:00am-2pm each day features five or six standard plates and, of course, their famous creole stuffed bread is always available. From liver, chicken fricassée, meatballs and red beans and rice on Mondays to fried catfish, shrimp, fried pork chop, catfish coubillion on Friday this is honest food at honest prices. read more

The food was great . The inside of the house and restroom needs a facelift badly. I gave it 4 stars because the food was very good. They have a drive thru I believe. Its small inside maybe 15 people could sit down and eat. I think with some TLC it would attract more people to try the amazing food read more

Yes 5 stars for the fried pork chop and cornbread!! Just finished it and sitting here half tempted to go into gluttony to order another one so I can get the best sleep ever after haha. Just great southern soul food and real nice staff. The place feels as old as its been around. Like stepping into your grandmas house. Yes it's on the north side of town but does not matter. I'm pretty sure all their stuff is great but there is no way I can come here and not order the chop! I've had there stuffed bread and it's good as well. But you bes order dat chop sha! The cornbread is very buttery and just as fantastic as the chop. It's cash only so don't forget your money and very reasonably priced for great food. Time for my nap now read more

Creole Lunch House - Their fried pork chop is like big foot, You'll never see it! even chewed the bone like a dog. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

If I could leave no stars I would. I am from the area and has always supported and loved there food including the stuffed bread. Recently I went and ordered turkey wings and red beans. The rice felt like rocks. The gravy was definitely made with brown gravy mix and the red beans were sweet which is really weird. And to top it all off, the lady at the window had a very nasty attitude. Will never return. read more

I had the Chicken Fricassee with yams and sweet cornbread. But before I ate any of this I had the stuffed bread. I've got just one word for it DELICIOUS. Chicken Fricassee was very good, just the right amount of seasoning. I'd put it up against the one I had at Pearls Kitchen in Opelousas,La. I know this has been said before, but this place is one of the gems in this city. Great food, service and prices you can't beat. I will definitely come here again. read more

One of the most humble and loving places around. Food is most comforting and seasoned perfectly- well spiced but not hot. The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. We felt right at home. read more

Had the fried pork chop for $9.75 with rice and gravy, black eye peas and lima beans yesterday. The pork chop was greasy and all the coating fell off, lima beans were not cooked , blackeyes were just that. A lot of people had great reviews of this place which leads me 2 think ya'll can' t cook well either. Staff was ok. Never again. read more

One of the best plate lunches in town. They also sell the best stuff bread in town. I would highly recommend this place for anyone

Going through withdrawal already! I look forward to those stuffed breads every year for Jazz Fest (N.O.). Thank you for such goodness.

Best Creole food I've eaten in years! I just wish I had enough room to try it all! The stuffed bread is awesome. The food is spicy! read more

My my my, after tasting this food, I don't think I'll ever want to leave Lafayette! Here for business purposes and I am determined to try all of the local hot spots. This place exceeded my expectations. The best red beans and rice I have ever eaten and also spinach!! Yum yum yum. I also ordered the ever famous creole stuffed bread. It was delicious but I actually enjoyed my sides much more. Will be coming back for those smothered chops and to taste the other dishes! read more

Creole Lunch House - Creole stuffed bread, spinach, red beans over too white rice. Yummy and spicy! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Don't let the location fool you, you should stop by. Home style cooking, large portions, and friendly owners. Recommend the stuffed bread.

For the most part, this place stands up to plate lunch standards in Lafayette. What I mean is this place is really good, and if I found it in any other US town, I'd probably be giving it higher marks. Of course, this is South Louisiana we're talking about, so competition is really stiff. One thing about this restaurant gets 5 stars: the stuffed bread. It's like a soft pillowy pocket of delicious ground meat. Just stop reading and go buy it. read more

Great food! Cozy location. We tried the stuffed bread. Very good. We were very impressed with staff. Even got a free sample of the catfish courtbouillon. It was amazing! read more

Cheap, addictive & completely unhealthy with a friendly, "ya-mom-an'-'em" atmosphere. This is the dive to visit if you are feeling decadent & want a good ole' artery-clogging lunch. I haven't been here in a while, but dear lord, I can still taste that stuffed bread & that side of beans. Mmmmm. Go. Now. read more

You know I ate here several times a week back in the nineties and it was always amazing. I came home to visit and took my daughter there to experience it. She and I were happy to find that it's exactly the same. Great homemade soul food and very friendly staff. Feels like eating with family every time. Delicious! read more

The food is down home creole cooking!! The pork chop is divine. The stuffed bread is as good and unique as I read and the red beans and rice as as good as you ever dream them to be. This place is a definite most do stop. Do not forget to take a bottle of hot sauce home. read more

Outstanding home cooked goodness! I had the Creole Sausage with Red Beans and Rice. It was excellent and with a drink, was ~$8. The staff was very friendly and courteous. After my meal, they said I still looked hungry and gave me a second plate of rice and ribs (also excellent) on the house. When I was leaving, I mentioned how good it was and they gave me a free stuffed bread. Such nice people. read more

Read about their famous stuffed buns and had to try one. Did not disappoint! The red beans and sausage were perfection, the greens were worth the drive from California! read more

The best creole lunch in town for a reasonable price. Not quite a secret, but not that well known. A small white-clapboard place in a black neighborhood in Lafayette, the Creole Lunch House offers the typical buffet-style plate lunches with three to four entrees plus sides. Comfortable for groups of three or four, it would be crowded for more. read more

Very good home cooked food. Stuffed bread was amazing. Very good vegetables and sides. Great for lunch. Don't let the exterior fool you. Serious cooking inside that building read more
