    I was encouraged to join a group of friends and acquaintances to listen to live Cajun music at…read morehistoric Fred's Lounge in the "Cajun Music Capital of the World" Mamou, Louisiana. I agreed to go without any expectations, except for having a great time with friends who have been and Mamou's international reputation for its genre of music. I was amazed by the experience, to say the least! Fred's Lounge is small, intimate and its music broadcasts live every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to around 2 p.m. on KVPI AM radio out of nearby Ville Platte, Louisiana there every Saturday. There was no cover, people there were friendly and embraced visitors as family. Even a wall flower could not help rump-rocking in their seat, clapping to the beat, stomping their feet, or even being coerced to cut-a-rug with a perfect stranger, while embracing the unique Cajun music rhythms. The band that day was local famed Don Fontenot and the Louisiana Boys. I could not help admiring the bass player's guitar strap made out of alligator hide. The craftsmanship was incredible! Also Don Fontenot, the accordion player's passion and creativity was spot on! The band played traditional music in Cajun French, however at times they played American classics like Proud Mary. They even played La Grange by Z. Z. Top in both English and Cajun French. However the most memorable song was "Ride the Donkey" with a guest performance from a local lady in the lounge, who he-hawed better than the best Jenny! I am certain it wasn't her first time performing this song! If you are a music enthusiast, looking for a fun destination trip or a simply a unique memorable experience in Louisiana, Fred's Lounge is a must!

    Great Live Cajun music every Saturday morning. This place is a blast, and If you can't Cajun dance…read morethere's plenty of friendly people who will gladly show you how.

    Came here as an alternative to Darrell's. Got the brisket bread and it was legitimately great…read more I ordered the equivalent to a Darrell's special and to be honest... I liked it more than I did a Darrell's special. This is my new po-boy go to in Lake Charles!

    Stopped in to grab some po-boy's for lunch I got the 1/2 Papa's Special with jalapeño mayonnaise,…read moreit seemed familiar even though this was my first visit. There is another restaurant nearby that is similar that I've been going to for year's it's always been my favorite but I must say Cooler's Ice House really out did themselves. Lean Roast Beef, Ham and Turkey soaked in their house made au jus, dressed with 3 cheeses, lettuce, mustard and that delicious jalapeño mayo on a super crusty roll that is source out of Lafayette, Louisiana I'm told, the bread is definitely fifty percent of the sandwich's quality and taste. There were six of us in our party and the table service here was outstanding, Madison our server was on top of everything throughout our visit here. They weren't very busy when we arrived but quickly fill up as time went on - I thought the kitchen was a little slow but everything was well executed and delicious - no complaints from anyone at our table. This is definitely a place I'd return to and it's likely I'd repeat my order exactly, there's no sandwich that comes close to this deliciousness anywhere that I've experienced near my home in Florida - it's great when even the locals whom have access to this place treats it like something special...
