We met friends of a friend for lunch here arriving around 10:30 AM so glad we arrived early. Upon entering the whole place is decorated 'Cajun' style, purple and gold and all things Louisiana. Walk down a step over to the back of the restaurant where the food is served cafeteria style. You can get it in a to-go container (highly recommend) or on a platter. We all chose the to-go container because he piled on the so good food!! Smothered ribs, white rice, collard greens, stuffed turkey, shrimp stew, corn, etc. The menu changes depending on the day of the week; we were there on a Thursday. Consensus amongst our group was that ALL food items were delicious. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful, quick to answer all of our many questions. Bring your appetite when visiting, it was hard to decide what to get, we were all happy with our choices. Highly recommend eating here.

The Mr had smoked sausage, rice dressing, cheese spaghetti and the baked beans. The dirty rice stuffing was seasoned heavy and absolutely delicious. The BBQ chicken was falling off the bone and lip smacking good. Sausage? Bold and so flavorful, with a snappy casing. Split peas were sweet and smokey. The staff was friendly, too.

I am telling you I heard a Cajun band playing Jole Blon and Hold My False Teeth While I go out and Dance. I did not think Mac and cheese could taste like something I never wanted to stop eating. The potato salad was not potato salad but some unearthly mana from a special place that could only be made by magic. Then, I ate some of the Black Berry cobbler. At the first bite I heard a chorus of angels singing, and as I went deeper into the cup the chorus grew louder. I was teary eyed when I finished the Black Berry cobbler. I do not know what kind of magic ZZs put in the food but I never wanted to stop eating the food. Thank you.

We got here not too far after opening. There was a short line and it moved quick. I ordered my items and sat down to hear my name. When I opened the plates I knew I was in the right place. The fish is fried perfectly. The chicken as well though I could have used a little more seasoning. Sides were good. But that turkey wing. My hubs took one bite. Looked at me and smiled. I knew it was on. I don't even really like turkey but I would eat three of those happily for thanksgiving. If you see the turkey wing get it! Can't wait for my next trip back.

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.

But after working here for a week I am thoroughly impressed by the food and the restaurant owners and workers. I want to thank the young lady working the register at Moore's today she was exceptional. I ordered the crawfish etouffee which came with fried fish, white rice, green beans and potato salad. I really have no complaints about this meal it was really good and the amount of food received is what one would expect. This is definitely a hole in the wall. But a hole in the wall with a bunch of really nice people coming in and out ordering food to go. I had great conversation with other customers who were also waiting for their food. Most definitely a go to place whenever I come back in the area.

There's nothing wrong with being a hole in the wall business, because I've found that those are usually the hidden gems; however, there must be a point where you need to take a step back & put yourself into the customer's shoes & see what they see. Had I not read the good reviews about the food, I would've walked right back out. I just kept an open mind & gave it a chance. It really needs a good de-cluttering, organizing & cleaning - there was just stuff everywhere. One can only think that if it looks that way to the public, how does it look where the food is prepared? The food wasn't bad though; I had the smothered ribs which were really tender, and my husband enjoyed the red beans. I really wanted to like the corn but it was a little too spicy for me, which is what you'd expect for Cajun food of course! Glenda & her employee were both very nice. Although I'm not from this area, I don't think I'd return if I was until it had a much needed overhaul.
