Her warm smile and eager to please attitude was so welcoming. She pulled up a chair and shared so much about the food and her years at this restaurant. Spot on service!! We enjoyed the Large Shrimp with the cognac sauce. When the crawfish étouffée was brought out, the flavor was jaw dropping we could've eaten it like a soup. The alligator was a wonderful spicy rustic meal. You have to be adventurous to order this because there are bones.

We hadn't visited Chez Jacqueline in years and decided to make the trip. As in the past, we were…read morethe only cu there. Jacqueline is charming and welcoming. You can tell she really enjoys people and wants to make them happy. We started with flambéed shrimp and french onion soup. The shrimp were delicious. It was a spin on New Orleans style barbeque shrimp and we really enjoyed them. The french onion soup was good, but a bit oversalted. The seafood platter was huge, it could have easily served a whole family. The fish and shrimp were very good, but unfortunately the stuffed crabs and crawfish were a bit fishy. We would return for the hospitality but may stick to the french selections next time.

Well, if you believe my mom's theory that anyone named Durand is related to us. To be fair, I have already found one actual relative using this exact logic, so who knows about ol' SMD. Anyway, this place is insanely popular, requires reservations, and there is a reason for that. The food is awesome. Gumbo? Awesome. Etouffee? Awesome. Steaks? Damn great. The pork chop? Hell yes. And then there is the Breaux Bread. Get away from me, Satan. That stuff is way too good. Like, lawd have mercy, why would you do this to me good. They also usually have live music on the weekends, often a solo singer, and every time we have been the music has been great. It adds to the whole atmosphere without taking over the room. The staff is super fun, the cocktails are great, they have a really good bourbon selection, and the wine list is better than you might expect. This is not some little place surviving because it happens to be in Breaux Bridge. Sydnie Mae is a legitimately great restaurant that would be great anywhere. If you find yourself in the Breaux, get to Sydnie Mae. And if anyone happens to know whether Sydnie Mae Durand is actually related to me, let me know. My mom is probably already convinced.

The 2nd stop was during the Zydeco Breakfast on a Saturday morning and I would leave 1 star for that experience. People lining up outside before they open at 0800 and then there is a $10.00 cover charge per person. The music was good but a little too loud (if it's too loud, you're too old). Skip the endless mimosas. They're mixed up in pitchers diluted with a ton of ice and then poured into your cup. The food was atrocious - all our orders came out cold and the biscuits were hockey pucks. They automatically add 20% gratuities to all checks. $160.00 breakfast for 4? Never again.

Fit chicken. Everything was dry. Wife thought chicken came frozen in a bag. She did not eat much of it.

In Louisiana, that matters, and you can taste the difference. They have one of the best gumbos in town--rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want a good Louisiana gumbo to be. Their fried seafood is also excellent. Everything is seasoned well, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. My only complaint is that this probably isn't the easiest place to eat if you're watching your diet! There are a few healthier options available, but let's be honest--you don't come to Prejean's because you're craving steamed vegetables. You come for good Cajun cooking, and they deliver. If you're looking for local seafood, a great bowl of gumbo, and genuinely good Cajun food, Prejean's is absolutely worth the stop.
