Honey and I took a date day over to Lake Charles to visit Crying Eagle Brewery. It's at the bottom…read moreof the bridge and take the first exit. Easy to get to and perfect locale. It's a super awesome setup with ample parking and great walk up. We had premade reservations via Open Table. They aren't required but we did just in case they were busy. Our server was Megan, who made great recommendations and was super helpful. (Ask for her!) Anywho... We ordered Parmesan crusted fries to start with me having the Barrel and Bough for a starter drink, and Honey had a Lake front Lager. He described it as being light and delicious. The Barrel and Bough was chefs kiss... a welcome spin on my favorite Old Fashioned. He ordered the I-10 Smash Burger with a truffle Fries, and I went for the chicken and sausage gumbo, with a side of brown butter mashed potatoes. The meal was excellent. Honey wasn't super impressed with the smash burger, but it was great presentation with good flavor. I, however, devoured my gumbo. It was the perfect blend with spice but a hint of sweet. Reminded me of my mother's gumbo and that's hard to beat!!!! We finished the meal with a cup of coffee. We got cans of Fruit Stand blend to go, and we loved it. We will for sure be back for more trips to enjoy their delish faire of foods. It is seafood heavy but there are options for vegans and burgers available as well. Overall... chefs kiss and a salute to the chef!

We drove to Lake Charles with the intention of visiting a different establishment. However, due to…read moretheir limited hours, we weren't able to visit this time around. While looking for a backup, I came across this place. I was surprised to find that they provided a variation of counter service instead of table service. We ordered at the counter, received a number and the staff later brought the food to us. However, with the beer, we ordered at a different counter and brought it back to the table ourselves. This was a while back, so I'm not sure if things have changed since then. Seating was available indoors (2 levels) and outdoors, complete with live music. We ordered the eagle wings & fries, margherita pizza and pretzels & beer cheese. The chicken wings were dry and the pizza crust was less than desirable. The pretzels were salty, but better once the salt was dusted off. The beer cheese was interesting but not my favorite. Overall, I didn't care for the food. The atmosphere was lively, but I wouldn't return just for that. There's 26 photos that should post with this review.

Traveling from Houston to New Orleans, Lake Charles makes a great stop for lunch. After a Google…read moresearch, Buffi's looked like it had potential. Pretty easy to get to when traveling east on I-10. We found easy parking, Buffi's is at the corner of Broad & Bilbo Street. Great vibes right from the get go. There's a pretty mural on the side of the building, great photo op for those that are doing it for the 'Gram. The interior is cutely decorated, black and white checkered table cloths. It's self service at the counter. After looking over the menu, we decided on a small bowl of Shrimp & Corn Chowder along with a full size All American Peauxboy. I'm not a corn guy but my wife said the chowder was delicious. The Peauxboy was fantastic. If you would have told me the bread was baked an hour before I ate the sandwich, I would have believed you. It was so fresh & so delicious! We might have a new stop for our roadtrips when headed east. It was a great first meal on our weekend getaway.

There is a section to the side that does not have a good view of TV screens so make sure to indicate if you want a tv view when you arrive. They took us to a table initially on the side and we asked for a better view and they switched us tables, which was great! Food - we ordered the eight count chicken wings, which was more than enough for both of us because it's the whole wing, basically two pieces each. We also ordered the fries which are like potato wedge swirls and were lightly seasoned, which was good. Lastly we ordered the bourbon peach cobbler... Didn't taste a lot of bourbon and it definitely needed more bready texture but it was still good. I would say it's more like a peach pie.

The service was still slow (all casino restaurants seem to be super slow), but the food quality and quantity made up for it. I didn't get a photo of my friend's chicken wings, but OH MY! They were huge! Like carnival food huge. He said they were delicious too. I recommend the BLT - messy but delicious, the sliders (comes with 3), or the hot dogs. All very filling and could be split with someone or take what you don't finish to go. It gets loud in there on game day. We were there on a Friday and then again on a Saturday. Loud, but fun!

This is definitely going on the date night list!…read more The Scene Villa Harlequin gives a more upscale, intimate dining experience - the vibe feels both classic and local at the same time. It's the kind of place you go for a nice dinner, date night, or when you just want to slow down and enjoy a full meal. The Eats We started with drinks - my husband had The Italiano, which was smooth and well-balanced, and I went with a Hedges Family Wine, which paired nicely with dinner. For the meal: My husband had a house salad and the pan-seared fish, which was cooked well and complemented by the kind of rich, flavorful sauces they're known for. I went with the wedge salad and the surf & turf, and listen...this is where they shine. The surf & turf is a standout - steak paired with seafood and a bold, flavorful sauce that leans into that fusion they're known for. Everything came out well-prepared, plated nicely, and felt like a complete dining experience rather than just a quick meal. The Service Service was attentive and polished without being overbearing. Drinks stayed filled, courses came out at a comfortable pace, and the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. It matched the overall feel of the restaurant - thoughtful and consistent. Parting Thoughts Between the cocktails, the wine, and standout dishes like the surf & turf, it delivers a well-rounded experience. Definitely a solid choice for a nice night out in Lake Charles - and one I'd return to when I'm in the mood for something a little more elevated.
