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!

The little French bread that comes with the meal is delicious and I'm not a bread eater! The packaging and service is very safe and clean! Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

We got some cocktails and they were the delicious. As this place is also a cafe, the espresso martini was perfect! I love the aesthetic of the outside and inside. It's always so cozy and nice. I will say it can get a little crowded depending on the time you go.

Our server, Kate, was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us excellent…read morerecommendations. She suggested the pork chop, and it ended up being the star of the meal. The pork chop was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, incredibly tender, and honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. It had a great char from the grill that added so much flavor, and the pickled peppers on top cut through the richness of the pork perfectly. The dirty rice underneath reminded me of my mom's rice dressing and soaked up all the juices from the chop. It was one of the best pork chop dishes I've had. My wife ordered the smoke fried chicken, and it was also excellent. The crust was crispy while the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato biscuits were light and delicious, and the pepper honey tied everything together nicely. For my taste, it leaned just a little on the sweet side, but it was still a very enjoyable dish. My daughter ordered the Social Cheeseburger with just meat and cheese. She loved it, and I was impressed too. Even with such a simple order, the burger was juicy, well seasoned, and served on a fantastic bun. She and my wife both could not stop talking about the hand cut fries. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the best fries we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We left very impressed and will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in the Lafayette area.

This is one of my Wife and I's top 5 favorite places in Louisiana…read more Their menu as far as apps and main dishes go can fluctuate. More specifically their flatbreads and loaded fries, which I do not currently see on their website. Most of the time they have loaded fries which in the past have consisted of gravies and sauces. One preparation we ordered came with pickled okra. The fried green tomatoes are also very good, especially to start with or share. As far as main dishes go we have tried the following: All Hail Caesar (Flatbread) Spicy Chicken Sandwich Smoke Fried Chicken-N-Biscuits Social Cheeseburger The Mac n Cheese is a must get as a side in my opinion. One of the first times we visited they had carrot cake as a dessert, we still talk about that carrot cake today. If you are a sweet tea lover this place has a twist which I love. Their sweet contains brown sugar and mint, get it, try it, it's delicious.

It is three connected buildings in one, one is a store with books, clothes and other accountments, one is a wine shop that was selling wines by the glass, and the last is a bar with food, both prepared and otherwise for sale. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar the first night and had wine and pizza and salad. All of it was delicious! The second day we picked up a focaccia sandwich to take with us which was awesome! Then the last day I got bagels to go. Everything was wonderful! It is so fun to browse around too and take a look at everything.

The focaccia bread is awesome and Greta was a gracious host. We grabbed a bottle of a von Boden blend (new for us) and the kale and sesame focaccia bread (so tasty) -- then cozied up to the bar. What a treat! I loved the music and the atmosphere at Wild Child. It could easily be a habitual hangout for us! Cheers!

This was my first visit to Pamplona Tapas Bar, and I really enjoyed the experience. We were able to…read morewalk in without a reservation, and our server, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, was very helpful with navigating the menu and deciding what to order. We tried several dishes, including the Castilian mushrooms, duck fat fries, Gambas al Ajillo, and hanger steak. The char grilled oysters were also a special that evening, so of course we had to try a half dozen. Everything was delicious, but the hanger steak and shrimp were definitely the standouts for me. I really enjoyed being able to order several smaller plates and experience a little bit of everything. The food was flavorful, the service was helpful, and there are still several things on the menu I want to try. The lamb sliders are already on my list for my next visit. Pamplona was a great first experience and definitely a spot I will return to when I am back in Lafayette.

First time here...overall we left a little disappointed…read more My soup of the day, which the waiter said was tomato crab bisque, turned out to be crawfish. It was not bad, but it was very salty. My wife and I got two of their craft drinks, both were incredibly sweet. Neither of us drank them, but when we told Kyle the waiter about it he said "yea those are two of our sweeter drinks on the menu and they're made to be like that, you should have asked me if you didn't want something that sweet". 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. I wouldn't come back here, personally. Service meh, food meh, overall meh.
