We had high hopes for this old school diner. When we arrived, the place was packed with after church locals which usually feels like a good sign, but our experience quickly went downhill from here. There's no host stand or clear seating system, so the entrance felt chaotic. We weren't sure what to do until a nice local told us to just grab a table. After sitting down, it took about 5 mins for a waitress to stop by with the menus. The menu includes both breakfast and lunch items, but the ordering process is confusing. We were told breakfast orders would be taken at the table and lunch needs to be ordered separately at the cafeteria style counter. My husband went to the counter to order lunch while I stayed behind, waiting for the server to return with drinks and take our breakfast order, she never did. The smothered pork dish looked worse than school cafeteria, and unfortunately tasted like it too. It was overly salty and the pork had a weird taste to it. Since we had already paid for the lunch item upfront and still hadn't been able to place breakfast order, we decided to cut our losses and went to another restaurant. Overall, wasted 35 mins and left frustrated and disappointed, definitely won't come back! read more

T-Coon's is a very old school diner featuring both breakfast and lunch items. We came on Sunday, which was probably a mistake due to the brunch and church lunch crowd timing. The main issue here is the overall service experience and the food quality. The interior is old school but immediately chaos; there is a Luby's style ready serve food line and tables as well for dine in. We didn't know but apparently you just find a table and sit down, we were standing around waiting to be seated for a bit. Apparently you order lunch plates at this hot food line and then order breakfast via your server at the table. This makes no sense. We waited 35 minutes for staff to take our breakfast order and beverages unsuccessfully, so I went up and ordered a lunch plate of smothered pork and just paid up front. The guy working the ready made food line was also pretty rude and didn't want to be there; great! It was definitely below Treebeard's level and was very salty and not very flavorful. The sauce that they poured on the rice was extremely salty as well. Meh food quality and the absolute chaos of the brunch dining experience made the brunch meal very unenjoyable for our group. We left afterwards and went to another restaurant to eat. read more

We stop here for breakfast every time we come to Lafayette. It is a back home, authentic Cajun experience. I love it. The place is clean and filled with locals, which is always a good sign. The coffee is fabulous. I love when I see that bright yellow canister of Joy on my table. My husband ordered the crawfish omelette with grits and a biscuit. This very could be the reason we come to Lafayette. I had scrambled eggs, sausage and a biscuit. Their potatoes were to die for. I loved them. The beignets were amazing. read more

I came into town for a wedding and had to try all the foods Louisiana is known for. I went to T-Coon's for the beignets. They're made fresh. But they weren't what I expected. Besides the powdered sugar, the dough was not sweet. Cute diner style restaurant, clean with good customer service. read more

Took us no time to get in and out on a Thursday at lunch time! Ambiance: 4/5 Don't let the outside fool you, it's located within a strip mall building but the inside is very homie feeling with unique decor & historical stories everywhere. Tons of room read more

T-Coon's - Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage Lunch Special Crawfish Etouffee Lunch Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

There are a lot of things that I love about Acadiana. My mom, Cajun food, and the accent. If only I could do the accent justice I would try and speak that way all the time. Know what I am saying chair? Anyway, T-Coon's is the kind of place that this dude from the hard streets of Nola loves. I used to work with a guy who worked down the road from here. He kept telling me that I needed to come visit at lunchtime and we would go eat here. Well, he retired so that never happened but when I was in town last week at lunch, I decided it was time to give ole T-Coon's a try. T-Coon's is the kind of place that can only exist in Acadiana. I have been to similar spots in Eunice (Cajun Music Capital of the World) and New Iberia (Capital of my Mom). Yes, many cities have casual lunch spots but none can match those in Acadiana. The menu here is vast but I have learned that the special of the day is always a good idea. On this Monday it was the smothered rabbit with rice and gravy. It came with two sides and I opted for smothered cabbage and green beans. The flavors were great but difficult for me to describe. Rich, deep, and delicious are some adjectives that hit the mark but you have to try it for yourself. I will say that the rabbit has a lot of bones so proceed with caution. The cabbage was the best I have had hands down. The ladies behind the counter were as sweet and friendly as one would expect in Acadiana. Prices were very reasonable and we left full and happy. If you find yourself in Lafayette, make sure you visit T-Coon's. Tell them T-Bubs sent you. read more

When in Lafayette drive past all the shopping centers and chain restaurants to seek out T-Coons in a strip mall. It is a well appreciated, family, traditional Cajun restaurant with country ambience and many locals of all ages. There are daily specials and service is mostly from a premade buffet selections. I was alone so I can only report on my one meal which I would call spectacular. I had crawfish étouffée which was overloaded with the critters. It came with delicious Cole slaw and a sweet fresh bun. read more

We were looking for the perfect Louisiana breakfast and found it. Our waitress, Ashley, was amazing. She was attentive, helpful, and just fun to talk with. We loved the coffee and that they leave the decanter at the table for refills. The place had a nice mom and pop diner vibe. Staff made us feel welcomed. The food was incredible. It was the made-with-love kind of food we craved. Husband wanted biscuits and gravy topped with crawfish, and they happily accommodated him. I had the sausage biscuit with a side of grits. If I could have that plate for breakfast every morning, I would. We will be back again! read more

This food was amazing - it felt like I went to someone's grandmother's house and she took care of me with this plate! A great demonstration of local flavor. I agree with another review that said the ordering process is a bit unclear but you can order from the line or from the kitchen, and can add on later through the waitress but you'd have to go up and pay again at the register, which can be a bit inconvenient. I think the food makes up for it. My waitress was a sweetheart. Seems like a great spot for locals. I'm glad I gave it a try. read more

The prices are insanely high for the worst food you'll ever taste, obviously because they know people will not be returning back for a second visit. I was served the most disgusting cheap processed food when they supposedly make everything homemade with no preservatives. This is not true. Do not waste your money unless you want to spend 50 times the amount it would cost you to make it at home 50 times better. read more

Some of the best breakfast food in Lafayette. Get the biscuits and gravy to go with whatever else you get.

Food was Yummy! We are not from here, so it was a fun experience. Lots of knew foods to try, rabbit, crawfish, catfish.... Yummmm! The staff was very friendly, again, we are not from here. During lunch hour they do "cafeteria" style dining. It's new to us, so personally I got a little bit of anxiety on the set up and not understanding that process. That's the only reason for 4 stars. Great food! And we chose to get dessert right next door. All and all, great place! read more

Man i cannot say enough about this place. It's a must have for breakfast if you're in the Lafayette area. I promise you will not be disappointed. I've been here twice in last 2 trips to Louisiana and i plan on eating there every single trip. Here's the reasons why: 1. The crawfish omelet is to die for. I've never had an omelet that tastes so good in my life and I've eaten them all over our great country. You don't even have to be a seafood or omelets lover and you'll still agree with my. Trust me. I am a very strict food critic and I've never given nor will i probably ever give such a highly impressed review of an omelet. I live in Austin Texas and I would give my right nut to have this omelet closer to me, it's that good. Now that's not the only thing i had that was good. The potatoes that came with it, not sure what they called it, they were stupid good too. I left nothing on my plate both trips. 2.the second reason this place gets a 5 star from this strict food critic is for the service. In 2 trips to this restaurant i got my food within 10 minutes of sitting down. 5 minutes between ordering and getting my food. I don't know how the hell they do it, i know it's not pre made food, so HOW did they get it out and hot so freaking fast? 3. The third reason for my 5 star review, the staff was over the top friendly. All Smiles all the time. Super fast, i never saw the bottom of my tea glass. That's very rare now days, specially in Texas, the waitresses deserve to be top paid waitresses!! I made sure to tip 40% both trips. Really i should have given more now that i think about it. (My business partner that travels with me got the turkey both trips and said it was the best turkey he has ever eaten. He destroyed his plate and left nothing behind. He also shares exact same review as i do. But he does not have this app)) NOW: i usually would take off a star for ambiance and overall cleanliness etc. and really i should for this place, but it was just too good of food and service to remove a star. But, this place is old and run down. They need to drop some cash on fixing the place up or moving to a nicer building. FYI, I still dream about that omelet and can't wait to return to Louisiana cause it's my first stop on the list read more

This is the best breakfast I've tried in Lafayette. The grits are perfect, the biscuits are great, the omelettes are huge and delicious. They also leave a whole carafe of coffee on the table so you don't have to wait for a refill. Good simple, delicious food and wonderful people. Always good. read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but this was probably the worst meatball stew I've ever had. The meatballs weren't even ground beef and they had a stringy texture. I don't even know what it was.The side of corn had to be frozen out of the bag with no seasoning. Terrible... read more

Hit this up while visiting from Houston. Decided I didn't want an omelet so went for the biscuits and gravy. Not my usual style but pretty good. Biscuits were so flakey. Great amount of seasoning.

The best review that I could leave is to proclaim how as soon as I was done eating I was ready for a NAP that is it. That should be the review, but I know YELP is going to tell me to keep rolling , so I'll just say this. I doubt that you can go wrong with anything that you order from the menu because all of it was absolutely amazing. The service was great. We didn't have much of a wait and it was just damn good. So if you're in the area and you're looking for something good to eat, I mean it's a no-brainer. You owe to yourself to stop in! read more

Yummy! I needed a quick place to have breakfast on my way back to New Orleans. I was told this is where the locals go. Of course it doesn't look like much (a Cajun Waffle House if you will). But this one page menu did not disappoint. I had a crawfish omelette (add spinach & jalapeños) & I had to try the beignets. Cause as a Louisiana native how could I not? The omelette was surely one of the best ones I've ever had & the breakfast potatoes tasted fresh not frozen. The beignets were dense but good. One was more than enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. Now the pancake was not good at all, but we were so pleased with our omelettes we didn't care. Highly recommend this place. read more
