    Customer service was good, the restaurant was clean. The food was just okay. I was with a large party but the food came out in a reasonable time. We had appetizers and drinks to keep us occupied. I had the "Cat 5" Hurricane, it was juiced down, more juice than liquor. Pretty drink but disappointing. I had the 1/2 & 1/2 platter with fried catfish and grilled shrimp. I also tried the chicken cracklin and crawfish nachos. Everything was just okay.

    What a great stop. Happy they had a full bar and a great menu. Large parking lot with parking close to the entrance. We were greeted when we arrived. The decor at this establishment was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Lots of places to be. We chose to sit at the bar. We were greeted promptly and our drink orders taken. They Just opened so they're so the Margarita machine was not yet 100% ready, so I ordered a Long Island instead. Trying to decide on what to eat was like picking your favorite fish in the ocean. I settled on shrimp tacos and was very happy. My husband had the sampler with oysters and was thrilled with the spread. Overall great food and drinks for the money spent. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Great news the Margarita machine froze up and I was able to sample before leaving. Great start to the day!

    Shrimp and grits
    Lacey D.

    Fantastic experience, almost perfect! The service was very friendly and even though the server was overloaded she still checked on us, brought us refills, etc. We got: crawfish enchilada (a MUST get, an incredibly delicious dish), shrimp and grits (delicious! The grits were seasoned so it was delicious even if you ran out of sauce) and the boudin flatbread (this was a miss for us, you couldn't taste anything but the strong sauce they put on it). I would absolutely go again and recommend it to others!

    Cowboy's Catfish

    IT'S HERE! The second location everyone has been waiting for. This prejean's has a far more limited menu than the Lafayette location, but all the favorite's remain. I got the Cowboy Catfish which was great as usual. It was pretty slow, but was also late on a Tuesday. Service was great, a lot of rollover from the previous restaurant/bar that was in the same location. Give this location some time to catch on. Their current patio is great, but they have plans to expand for their indoor music scene as well.

    My dog Lucky and I stopped here on our road trip cross country to Colorado. The shrimp po'boy was so good. the bread even better. After lunch the owner stopped by and we struck up a 25 minute conversation. Jokingly I suggested I was adopted, because that's how welcomed I felt. Highly recommended stopping here.

    Shrimp Poboy

    The shrimp Poboy is one of the best boys I've had in a very, very long time. The french fries were cooked to perfection crispy outside fluffy inside the lettuce and tomato in the poor boy were fresh and crisp was an absolute perfect dish.

    Stool for baby car seat to sit at table

    Met up with some friends while visiting from out of town. We had our 3mo old with us and this was the first time I've had a restaurant give us a little stool for his car seat. It was brilliant. The food was also really good. It was my first time having alligator and I could've gotten another plate for myself. Not sure what the sauce was but YUM! I ordered some sort of seafood pasta and I was too full to eat it all after the alligator bites but the leftovers were just as good the next day.

    Lunch Special, crawfish enchiladas and side salad
    Jennifer P.

    Last minute lunch date and what a treat! For a great price we were stuffed when we left and pleased with the lunch portions and taste. A must dine for lunch for those on a budget yet wants to have a rewarding meal.

    Stuffed mushrooms
    Amber S.

    We really enjoyed having a lighter dinner at Prejean's! Service was great, easy to find and open seating on a Monday night. The stuffed mushrooms and gumbo were the star of the show. This is a great place to stop for some Cajun specialties!

    1/2 and 1/2 Catfish and oysters with side and hush puppies. Yum! Spicy and Crunchy

    My server suggested the Crawfish enchiladas! Boy, was he right! Those things were awesome!…read more Next I did have the bread pudding because...why not! It was very very good!! Service was amazing, Guy stopped to check in on me everyone few minutes. And the restaurant is very fun and inviting.

    Ca c'est bon!!! I've been here twice, once while driving through and such a great experience, I…read morecame here again while staying in Lafayette. It was just as delicious as the first time! We had chicken and sausage gumbo, Pepper Jack boudin balls, bam bam gator bites and the blackened chicken pasta. The waiter this time was better than the waitress we had last time. He was very attentive and made sure we never had to ask for refills. The appetizers came out fairly normal time-wise I would say. The main portion took a little bit longer than what you're used to at a franchise restaurant but here that's perfectly fine as it's worth the couple extra minutes. The gumbo is perfect(I love when gumbo is not over complicated) I like to add a lil hot sauce to it and it's delicious... only thing is, while they already give generous portions... the cup and the bowl looked exactly the same except I think in the bowl they give you one extra scoop of rice... which would be just fine if it wasn't like $6 more. But still delicious nonetheless. The bam bam gator bites were really good and I highly recommend them. If you like bam bam shrimp you'll love these. The pepper jack boudin balls were good, nothing special but they were definitely worth the try. My co-worker had the blackened chicken pasta and when I asked him how it was he said "dude, it's really good!" lol. The building is pretty unique and they have some outside seating with a massive beautiful tree that over looks the restaurant and takes claim to some of the asphalt in the parking lot lol. But it's a great spot for birthdays, good lunch menu deals, casual date night or if you wanna blow some steam off, they have a little bar in the restaurant as well. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend. I'm from East Texas, so I'm no Cajun/Louisianan but they truly got some good grub here. I'll definitely be coming back several more times when I get the chances. I will warn you, I believe the food is freshly made so when it gets to the table, give it some time to cool off because it comes out HOT.

    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.

This is a top-notch local seafood restaurant, and long time favorite. When I say "long-term", I'm almost 82 & have been a customer for over 65 years, since coming with my parents in the 1950's. I know of no other restaurant anywhere with that record of excellence & consistent performance. The specialty is Louisiana Atlantic blue crab, and in that genre, Riverside has no real peers. Yes, they offer a wider array including local crawfish, shrimp, & oysters; plus cold water lobsters & steaks. But our crab is delicate & must be handled with expertise. Riverside does that better than I could at home on the Teche. Secluded off street lot parking, swamp-ish theme landscaped grounds, locals bar, professional waitstaff. If unfamiliar w/ area, use your phone for directions. One can't go wrong here. 5+ Stars from me, every time. Don't stop until you get here ! Caveat, may be closed Sundays & Mondays, call first. Rick
