Freds Lounge

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!

The Cajun Table

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.

8 EMPTY TABLES. All clean. All ready to go. But somehow they were all off limits to me.

There goes $30 right down the drain, thanks for the help Kyle. If you've want a quick stop for wine and a few overpriced appetizers maybe it's ok, but know what you're getting into.

Fair warning: the appetizers are a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it. Let's start with the shrimp. Butterflied and fried to a beautiful golden crisp, then drizzled in a honey ginger-chili glaze that gives it that perfect glossy finish. Told y'all I had adjectives. It's a party in your mouth - perfectly balanced sweet and savory with just the right touch of heat. A must-order. Now how do you follow that? Don't worry, I got y'all. The Thai ribs are sticky, so be prepared to get messy. Slow-cooked St. Louis style, they fall right off the bone and are coated in a sweet and spicy soy glaze. Don't even think about using your napkin until the end. Every bite hits that perfect balance of sweet, savory, and rich depth. I'm going to be very upset if y'all don't order these! The place is still under construction, so seating is limited - but even with that, it's absolutely worth the wait!

Casablanca chicken is perfect. It's blackened to perfection and the hummus is a good paring

Parc International is an outdoor venue located in downtown Lafayette where Downtown Alive comes…read morealive on Friday nights and various concerts are held throughout the year. Recently I was here for Patty in the Parc, an annual St. Patrick's Day party, to see Wayne Toups and Better Than Ezra. So, we had to pay for tickets and got a wristband upon entry. I'm thinking this was cool since it would allow us to come and go into the space as we pleased. More on that later. We arrived early to secure parking (it's downtown so be prepared to pay to park in one of the garages or in a guy's front yard looking to make a few dollars like we did!) and made our way into the space. The first thing I noticed was buying food or drinks were on a ticket system which really made no sense to me whatsoever. We each bought a book of ten which equaled to $10 each. Ok, this should be enough for the night especially since we weren't drinking, right? Here's how the ticket prices went: Water or soda bottles-3 tickets aka $3 Nachos-5 tickets aka $5 Jambalaya 6 tickets aka $6 Artichoke and crawfish bread bowl 9 tickets aka $9 Excuse me while I bend over. Just around the time we are contemplating going to a restaurant up the street (seriously if I'm going to pay that much for a meal I'd just as well go into a sit down restaurant) it is announced that if you leave reentry is not guaranteed because they were at capacity. Umm, excuse me-what was that? So you are telling me that although we PAID to get in and have a wristband to prove it we are not allowed to even go up the street to get a decently priced soda without the fear that we won't be allowed reentry because YOU GUYS OVERSOLD? I call bullshit. So, because of this reason we were forced to put our tickets together for three drinks and one very overpriced bread bowl leaving us with two worthless tickets. Bullshit. The place got extremely crowded and while a fun time was had by all it was almost too crowded to move and if dancing is your thing forget about it. Unless you consider standing in one spot doing the head bop dancing. You will not have enough room to shake your tail feather in other words. Leave your chairs at home, too. Unless your idea of fun is sitting in your chair with random ass in your face and not being able to see the band.
