    Welcome to Louisiana food at its finest
    Rob P.

    Fully enjoyed the hospitality, amazing food, and tasty brilliance. Drank and to go, while observing a social venue for dating, groups, and families how you like it. Very impressed and worth bringing your friends and family.

    My daughter was in town and chose Chimes! The service was good and the food was tasty! I recommend asking for an inside table on hot summer nights but enjoy the patio on breezy nice evenings! The margaritas are strong and taste good. Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

    Red beans and rice didn't miss her

    Food was great - high quality ingredients, excellent flavor & seasoning, and prepared perfectly. Decent prices. Server was enthusiastic, but needs to learn the menu and what can & can't be subbed. I had the bacon wrapped barbecue shrimp over jambalaya, and aside of red beans and rice with sausage. The red beans and rice with sausage was fantastic, the BBQ bacon wrapped shrimps were delicious and the jambalaya had a little bit of spice to it. All the entrées came with a side salad. Would definitely eat there again.

    Big cavernous place with a crowded bar and dining area. Ended up outside. This would have been a five star experience if our wait staff had acted a bit more interested in her job. Perhaps the cold didn't suit her. Local Louisiana faves. Great atmosphere.

    We decided to try out The Chimes for Father's Day this year, and I'm glad we did. Doors opened at 11am and the place was immediately packed--which tells you a lot right off the bat. Luckily, we were seated without too long a wait. The atmosphere is top-notch. The interior has that perfect blend of Southern charm and modern pub-style--clean, comfortable, and full of character. It's the kind of place where you don't mind hanging out for a while. Drinks: Their alcohol selection is no joke. Over 60 craft beers on tap and a well-rounded drink list. If you're into craft brews or want to try something new, this place has you covered. Service: Our waiter was excellent--genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. He brought us samples of a few things just so we could try before we committed. That kind of service isn't common anymore, and it made a big impression. Appetizer: We started with the spinach and artichoke dip with fried bowtie pasta--never had it like that before, and it was damn good. Crunchy, creamy, flavorful. A solid start. Entrees: * My wife had the chargrilled catfish--perfectly cooked and seasoned. * My daughter got the crawfish étouffée with fried catfish--a rich, classic Louisiana combo done right. * I went with the fried shrimp and fried catfish--crispy outside, juicy inside, just how it should be. Portions were generous; we all left full and still had enough to take home. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. Bottom line: The Chimes delivers. Whether you're going for the food, drinks, atmosphere, or service, they check all the boxes. We'll definitely be back. Great for family meals, casual dates, or just grabbing a drink with good food.

    This place was fantastic! I couldn't find the option for reservations, but that didn't seem to be an issue. It was packed, but a very large space and great service. We waited about 19 minutes and were seated on the patio. Weather was perfect. The garage doors were open. We got the sautéed crab fingers. I highly recommend these! They come in a delicious garlic butter. We also got 1/2 dozen oysters. I got the seafood pasta for my entree. It was great. I do think it had too much sauce for the amount of noodles. There was a good amount of shrimp and crawfish though so that made up for it. Everything was great and I would definitely go back.

    Anbiance is great. Has areas for all preferences: outside/inside, large bar with televisions, party size tables, etc. High quality food paired with great service. Lance works the bar and is welcoming and just tops off the experience Great place to watch sports without worries about food, service, atmosphere.

    My friend and I decided to go shopping in Lafayette from Alexandria. After shopping she suggested we go to the chimes. Let's just say she was right on the money for picking this restaurant. This is by far one of the best restaurants that I've eaten at in 10 years. Its on my favorite list now and I will definitely come back to eat. The food was amazing. I had our server to pick his favorite and I decided to go with that. I end up eating the fried chicken and linguine and my friend ordered the same. Our entrees came with salads which were good also. We did start off with crawfish cheese fries and they were delicious. I ordered a drink from the bar, my signature drink the espresso martini. The ambiance was elegant in my opinion but very relaxed and chilled. I would definitely recommend everyone to stop by here. The menu has something to offer everyone.

    Fish
    Tambra L. ..

    Great ambiance outside with huge fire place sn, good service , drink was good and the oysters but the fish could've been fried harder and the flavor wasn't flavoring , red beans and rice need to be perfected as the sausage wasn't good nor the overall taste, the hushpuppies were really light , tasty and good. Salad underwhelming.

    Spinach dip, crawfish fries
    Peyton F.

    Our server Trey was great, very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was good! Nice portion sizes, especially for the seafood lasagna. It's huge, I had a full serving to take home and reheat after eating at the restaurant. Also, love the sauce on the crawfish fries.

    Catfish Perdue
    Mackenzie S.

    This is my new go-to spot when visiting Lafayette! It's a beautiful building with tall ceilings and a huge patio area, and might I say the bar area is luxurious. It's a total vibe. I ordered the Catfish Perdu and sipped on a Tiger Eye. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced, just how I like it. You also get a lovely little side salad with your entree. Definitely looking forward to my next trip here.

    Red beans & rice
    Shauna B.

    Chimes is always a fun and tasty dining experience when visiting Louisiana. My husband and I enjoyed boudin eggrolls, red beans & rice, and crab/corn soup. All were tasty. We agreed the soup was our favorite of the three. The service was excellent as well!

We walked in, and a server said we could find an empty seat. We were greeted by our server and ordered drinks and appetizers. My drinks were a coke and an espresso martini. My espresso was made to perfection. Our appetizers were the BBQ BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP..... Bacon wrapped shrimp in a savory NOLA style butter BBQ sauce which was delicious. We also ordered the BRISKET FRIES. Smoked brisket, pepperjack, cheddar, Cajun BBQ, chipotle aioli, and green onion. I swear those cheese fries were the best cheese fries I've ever eaten in my entire natural born life. Wow wow wow. I sat in shock about how good they were. We ordered our entrees I ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST...... Chargrilled chicken breast,', with grilled veggie medley and roasted fingerling potatoes. It was so delicious. My friend ordered the REDFISH VERMILION. Grilled redfish topped with crawfish etoufee, served with chargrilled asparagus. I tasted some of her dish. It was yummy as well. Our server was nice and kind and treated us well as he maintained the bar. The atmosphere was laid back and it seemed everyone enjoyed being there. It was our first time and we definitely will be back.
