He recommended several local brews and food options, and somehow we ended up having one of those conversations that makes you feel like you've known someone longer than five minutes. We talked about traveling, different beers, Louisiana, Ohio, Atlanta, and everything in between. My favorite part of the conversation had to be hearing about the brewery owned by three Japanese women who live in Brazil. That's a story I definitely wasn't expecting when I sat down for a drink! As for the food, it was incredible. I had the seafood gumbo, which came loaded with a crab cluster and crawfish tails, and I also tried the blackened alligator. Both were amazing and full of flavor. The atmosphere was great, the beer selection was excellent, and the service made the whole experience even better. I genuinely can't wait to go back to The Chime! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. 6/5 from me!

It was ok because I gave him have my water. Love looking at the prices from the 30s and 70s. What a difference. Everything has changed so much in Lafayette.

1 Star - Hostile Staff, Unbelievable Disrespect, and Zero Hospitality…read moreAfter being a loyal customer at Lagneaux's for over a decade, our experience tonight guaranteed it will be our last time ever walking through the door. We specifically chose to come here over Acme Oyster House in Baton Rouge because of how much I've always liked Lagneaux's, but that loyalty was met with absolute disrespect. We were seated by a young hostess with long straight hair in the middle room. After sitting completely ignored for 15 minutes without a single server even acknowledging us (they did, however, keep looking at us like we were in the wrong place), I politely went to the hostess to ask if we could move to an active section. Instead of apologizing or fixing the issue, the hostess puffed up, raised her voice, and completely chewed me out--claiming we had moved ourselves and that was why we weren't waited on. When I stated we hadn't moved, she straight-up accused us of lying to her face. When we decided we weren't going to spend our hard-earned money to be treated like an inconvenience, I went to speak with the cashier at the front--an older woman who offered a hollow "sorry" but made zero effort to get a manager or rectify the situation. As we walked out, the hostess returned to the front to continue her attitude. To treat a returning customer who chose your restaurant over another regional favorite with such hostility and blatant disrespect is unacceptable. Lagneaux's clearly no longer cares about basic service, hospitality, or appreciation for their patrons. Save your money and go somewhere that actually respects you.

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.

First Course: We began with the oyster sampler featuring Charbroiled, Bienville, Orleans, and Rockefeller styles. Each had its own unique flavor profile, and together they made a great introduction to the meal. Second Course: A crisp romaine and spring mix salad paired with a crawfish, crab, and corn bisque. The bisque was rich and comforting, perfectly balanced by the freshness of the salad. Main Course Highlights: Almond-crusted paneed chicken finished with roasted red bell pepper aioli. Grilled portabella mushroom stuffed with Gulf blue crab, shrimp, peppers, and spinach, topped with lemon aioli and parmesan. Filet Orleans (which I didn't try since I don't eat beef, but others raved about it). Dessert: The finale was a Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding drizzled with a decadent sauce -- warm, sweet, and absolutely delicious.

Bailey's is also not as crowded which makes it more pleasant to get your food and enjoy your morning brunch versus feeling like your being herded through like cattle. If you want to eat at a really great place with Cajun food that tends to me more of a local favorite than a tourist attraction, stop here. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!
