I stopped in for a plate lunch meatballs stew cost me $17. I get home to eat my food and they gave…read moreme two meatballs that were way undercooked ! For $17 only 2 meatballs a salad that would fit in a child's hand and beans that were just nasty with no taste except pepper. The lady at the counter was rude to me when I asked her are you sure it's 17$ for meatball stew. It's outrageously overpriced. The ambience is awful. The service was awful and it was undercooked food. I do not recommend this place.

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.

Went for happy hour and had a great experience! The place has a really nice atmosphere. We…read moreoriginally ordered two of everything from the happy hour food menu, but the Jazzy Shrimp was so good that we ended up ordering more. The food was delicious and the drinks were made perfectly. Even better, between 8 drinks and 7 appetizers, our bill was under $100 before tip, which is an amazing deal. The service was great as well, our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a happy hour worth checking out!

We came about 5 to have some happy hour (3-6) tastes and cocktails at $5 each. BBQ pulled Pork over crispy nachos with lite bbq sauce, jalapeño peppers sliced, and melted cheese. So yummy and good portion. My daughters drink was a nice red blend house wine that was excellent And I had a delicious Lemon Drop. A cup of their rich flavourful duck gumbo that has a bite, and Ruben sandwich that was fair.... very meaty, with great crispy fries. Staff from front door to table is excellent! Our server Marley was very sweet and professional with poise. Bravo !

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.

I mean WOW! I ordered the turkey wings, rice and gravy and double green beans (I'm trying to eat…read morehealthy lol). Everything was truly amazing. The beans and rice had a great spiced flavor and the stuffed turkey wings were just fall off the bone crazy good. When I was handed my to go order and it is heavier then you expected, you know your going to be happy and satisfied. As far as the service, the ladies behind the counter are just as happy as can be and you are greeted with a warm friendly smile. I wish I was in Lafayette longer because this would be my meal again and again. Yes go here and enjoy one of the best meals you will have.

They only had a few meats left when we got there and one of them was the stuffed turkey wings, which was highly recommended. It was cool, but nothing like I expected. I thought it would be packed with flavor, but I needed that Louisiana red rooster hot sauce for the extra flavor which I thought would have been marinated in the meat. The star of the show was that okra seafood stew. That was a 10 out of 10 for me! We got the cabbage, but I have never in my life had sweet sugary cabbage. That threw me totally off! My brother loved it and it's definitely an acquired taste. Not for me at all. We had about three hours till closing, and there was a small line so the place does great business and people love it. If I were ever back in Lafayette, I would definitely come back to try something different.

Our appetizer was shrimp in a bourbon sauce, which was very good with the bed of lettuce, but the ranch dressing didn't work, blue cheese would have pulled this together, however still a decent appetizer. The fried ribs which we came for, was well prepared, just a touch more seasoning and this would be over the top. The chicken and waffles were great, the only feedback is with the waffles already being sweet, it would go better with steen's cane syrup, but if you like sweet this is perfect. Service is a little slow but good food. Ohh so get the bread pudding, one of the better I've had, all the sides were good especially the yams, and greens.
