    My mom found this restaurant on Yelp when we were craving brunch and cocktails! We walked into the courtyard and knew we made a fantastic decision! Just know you'll park in the parking lot to the side of the restaurant. There is outdoor seating with garage door style windows that were open today! There's a beautiful water sculpture outside as well!!! The architecture is so beautifully preserved and the attention to detail in this building is amazing!!!! Our waiter was wonderful and checked in on us often! He was very respectful with wonderful manners. We ordered the hummus to start, followed by the shrimp and grits to share, and my daughter ordered the chicken nuggets. Everything was epic!!!! The hummus was creamy, spicy, and served warm! The pita chips are delicious!!!! Shrimp and grits were perfection!!!! So creamy and wonderful!! Great spice on the shrimp! Grits were cooked perfectly! They even put it in two bowls for us since we shared! My daughter devoured the chicken nuggets! Served with Mac and cheese that brought me back to my childhood!!!!

    Darling Louisiana restaurant through and through! Outside seating under a covered patio is available but we chose inside. The hostess seated us immediately with a smile. The Christmas decorations are tasteful. I've never had a Strawberry Shortcake drink but it is delicious, very sweet of course! We had to have beignets since we're in Louisiana. The shrimp and grits were a perfect entree choice. The mushroom, bacon and Gouda made for a delightful combination of flavors. Our server was personable and helpful. Ended with a nice coffee. Very enjoyable brunch experience!

    It is such a cozy and lovely restaurant with fantastic food. The ambiance was intimate. We came with a large party. We were seated promptly and were greeted warmly. Our server James was excellent. He was very friendly and efficient. He checked on us often and refreshed our beverages regularly. I tried the blue crab ravioli and Cajun eggrolls, which were great fantastic. I ordered the Chipotle Pepper Linguine with crawfish for my entree choice. It was delicious. I didn't have room enough for dessert, but the choices looked wonderful. I have to try next time.

    Avocado and crab salad yum!

    Food portions are perfect. Latte was delish. Food was amazing. Server was kind and attentive. Atmosphere nice and quiet.

    Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

    This is our second visit to Pujo Street Cafe and it did not disappoint... we sat on the patio so we could dine with the dog. We had the Oysters Pujo with their hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich followed by bread pudding for dessert with coffee. Not exactly epic service, I suspect they were setting up for a large party. The server was very pleasant...We waited quite awhile in between greeting- initial service- additional orders and the check etc but we will be back

    Oyster PoBoy with a side of gumbo.

    I walked in today for lunch and sat at the bar. Very comfortable surroundings... The service from Kinsey was awesome... The gumbo was award winning and the Oyster PoBoy was as fresh as you can get. It is on my list to hit next time I am in Lake Charles.

    Service, food, ambience were perfect! I'm taking home bread pudding to go and happy to provide an update but if it taste anything like the croissant breakfast sandwich it will be amazing!

I don't think it's from the lack of effort it's just the supply chain has changed and the quailty of the original ingredients have changed and that just the cold hard truth. This is a good burger, not a great burger in my opinion the protocol here is order what you want and accept what they sit on the counter when they call your name - today's old fashion cheese burger was pretty good and very fresh but one burger can't meet everyone's expectations, for me there is too much mustard I want some but today it was over powering, I'd sub grilled onions for raw and luckily I definitely remembered to ask for pickles otherwise you don't get any. If you want a burger where the meat is the main ingredient order a double even then it's not overwhelming. Good Onion Rings (yes) and plenty of them a large order can feed at least three hungry people. They are served hot right from the grease so add salt and pat them dry unless you like the added grease they are probably the best you'll find eating out. Now what the same as it was from years gone by, very very reasonable prices, an extremely friendly staff I love they will carry on a conversation with the customers, if you frequent this place they will remember you and maybe ask how your mom and dad are doing that's not just great customer service that's amazing hometown service and that a very rare amenity today - yeah it's changed a little or maybe it's just that I have, so if they keep serving them burgers when I'm in the area I'll keep buying them...

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.

From the moment we stepped into this beautiful establishment, we knew that all the previous reviews were true, a proven hidden gem. My first question was what is Bohdin? With that our waitress promptly pulled an entire 16 inch link out of the pan and cut it into three pieces and told us to try it and see if we liked it. It was delicious, I asked her what I owed, she said nothing. Everyone needs to try it! At that, my wife and I ordered, I ordered the shrimp. Po-Boy sandwich filled with the condiments that I selected. My wife ordered the smoked turkey salad, it was huge! We then ordered a couple of beers, and proceeded to our table to wait for our food. We were greeted by some wonderful people sitting in the dining room, who were so kind and so welcoming it felt like we were at someone's home sitting around the kitchen table with old friends. Come to find out it was the owner, and one of his longtime, trusted customers and friends. As we were getting ready to leave, we were able to have a wonderful conversation with the owner ourselves, we've made a decision. The folks down here are absolutely kind as can be and so welcoming. In regard to the food, try it all give it a chance and you won't be disappointed!
