Fried oysters
Stacy E.

The place is inviting and quaint. The service was friendly and fast! The fried oysters were cooked perfectly, and the grilled shrimp wrap was absolutely delicious! The french fries are crispy. Yes, I recommend this place.

Acadiana Breakfast Sandwich with Cheesy Grits
Carissa C.

My family and I had a nice breakfast at this French Press Location. Upon walking in, it was busy but we still got seated immediately. I got the Acadiana Breakfast Sandwich which had boudin in the middle alongside a bowl of cheesy grits. It was tasty and filling. My husband got their shrimp and grits and it came with several larger sized shrimps. The service was very quick and attentive, and we'd love to come back to try other items.

The Beignets * soooo flaky! Delicious!
Jenn G.

Quickly seated on a busy Sunday at Brunch time. Excellent beignets! Flavorful potatoes with my delicious classic eggs benedict. My kiddo loved his kids pancakes that were really fluffy and smelled yummy! I'll definitely be back!

Sorry just a glimpse of the menu

The food here is always top notch. Delicious. Scrumptious. Fabulous. The truffle fries are to die for. The Cajun Benedict (mygo to every time) is definitely something to try as it is like 100 tiny h**kers dancing on your tongue good. The service is always on point. I remember PJ at the downtown location always giving excellent service. Both locations have a wonderful vive. Do not miss Justin's creations AAAAA++++++

This is the fabulous crook, Madame with a side of bacon so very over the top

Drake was our server and he was on top of his game the whole team pitches in to make sure you have excellent service and the food is beyond fabulous. We drive from Texas to come out and eat.

This was our first time eating here. We drove in from Alexandria LA. We started off with 2 appetizers the truffle fries and the praline bacon. They both were delicious. My friend and I ordered the Cajun Benedict. Toasted French bread, boudin patty, American cheese, 2 poached-medium eggs topped with our chicken & andouille gumbo. We both enjoyed our meal. It was quite delicious. Our other friend ordered the chicken and waffles. Fried chicken strips tossed in LeBlancs Cane Jelly on top of a cheddar waffle. She enjoyed her meal as well. I had a POINSETTA mimosa and the had the french press mimosa. Both drinks were great. Our server was very nice and pleasant. We didn't want for anything. She made us feel cared about. The atmosphere was calming very peaceful to eat here. I would recommend coming here to eat again.

Eggs Benedict Hot black tea  Water  Potatoes

We had to wait a little bit due to the restaurant being packed around 9:30 ish but it was definitely worth the wait for the food. The staff were super attentive and very welcoming . It was every nice clean environment.

Great breakfast! I got the andouille & shrimp omlette with grueyere cheese. It was so delicious, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The beignets were awesome too!

Breakfast egg Benedict
Teresa C.

Yummy!!!! I went in at almost noon on a Sunday brunch and there was a busy crowd but no wait time.; solo do sat at the bar. Ordered the egg Benedict and it was fabulous although I paid for it later with heartburn. But next time I know to bring a "TUMS". Wish I lived closer to try everything on the menu bc the food coming out the kitchen looked wonderful.

Chicken and waffles
Courtney E.

Went for brunch during a weekend trip to Lafayette on the recommendation of my Airbnb host. The food was phenomenal, I'm a connoisseur of chicken and waffles and this was probably the best ones I've ever had. The chicken was fried to perfection, so juicy and tender and the pepper jelly it's tossed in was the perfect combo of spicy and sweet. I was a little apprehensive of the cheddar cheese on the waffle but wow that put it over the top, more places should jump on that train. My friend had the crab cake eggs Benedict with potatoes and she said it was delicious and ate the entire portion. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts was because it took a very very long time to order, get our food, and get our check. We were there an hour and a half. However, our server was doing his best, he was running the bar completely alone while also serving tables so it's not his fault. It seemed like they were short staffed. Normally a long wait time wouldn't bother us but we had somewhere to be and didn't anticipate that we'd be there so long. It's okay though the food was worth it all!

Eggs Benedict with cheddar grits!
Troy B.

Met by friendly service, the atmosphere somewhat modern. I ordered the eggs Benedict with cheddar grits which I'd consider pretty good with a nice presentation. Nothing over the top impressive, but recommended if in the area.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the flavorful breakfast dishes, good coffee and drinks, and welcoming staff. The inviting atmosphere is also appreciated.

It…read moreleans heavy vegan/vegetarian but they still do bacon, real meats, and real eggs, so you can go whatever direction you want. I like having the option. The breakfast burrito is the star and it's not close. They put broccoli and squash in it. Sounds insane, shouldn't work, but it's one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in my entire life. Get the extra crispy bacon in it. Everything was texturally perfect and they've got this fermented hot sauce that goes with it. Not spicy, just adds a whole extra layer of flavor. A 10 out of 10. The coffee was the letdown. We did a few rounds (cortado, latte, cappuccino) and they came out inconsistent, milk to coffee ratio all over the place. Felt like whoever was making them didn't really know the difference between the drinks. If I'm dinging them on anything, it's that. My wife got one of those big healthy veggie bowls and it was pretty mediocre. Just lacked flavor. If super healthy is what you're after you'll be happy, but hers was a 3 and my burrito was a 10, so I ended up handing her half of mine. That's the deal here, it depends what you order. The veggie and vegan stuff is never going to hit like the real thing, but there's a ton of good options if you care about that. We also grabbed a bunch of their canned goods on the way out. Pesto, that hot sauce, radish kimchi, sweet potato kimchi. They make it all in house and you can tell there's a real passion for creating and doing new things. Super happy we found this one. Highly recommend, especially that burrito.

We've…read morebeen several times, and at this point, I think we've tried just about everything on the menu! And there's a reason we keep going back! Let's talk about the food because there are definitely some good things happening in that kitchen! We've had the French toast, shrimp and grits, beignets, French toast sticks, fried green tomatoes, and breakfast sandwich, just to name a few. And trust me, we've worked our way through the majority of the menu! I love going to a restaurant where there's more than one thing on the menu that catches my attention. Whether we're in the mood for something sweet like French toast and beignets or something savory like shrimp and grits or a good breakfast sandwich, there's always something to satisfy our cravings. One thing about us, we enjoy a GOOD brunch, and Parish Biscuit has definitely earned a spot on our list of places we love to visit. It's nice having a go-to spot where we can switch things up instead of ordering the same meal every time. If you're a breakfast or brunch lover and haven't checked out Parish Biscuit yet, I definitely recommend giving it a try! Come hungry, explore the menu, and don't be afraid to order a little extra for the table. That's half the fun of brunch anyway! We'll definitely be back because apparently we're on a mission to try the entire menu!

I did a side of eggs and bacon. The scrambled egg was probably the best I've ever had. The bacon was thick-cut and chewy, so that's a major plus for me. I did a mimosa and they were great. We had the same bartender as last time fixing our drinks and she remembered us so that's awesome. Fiancé did avocado toast and she said it was good but not her favorite. She did the tipsy jeaux drink and it was a little too much with the chocolate syrup. Upbeat music so you were vibrant while they were busy.

Now, let's talk about the food! The fried green tomatoes are an absolute MUST every time we visit.

It's one of those dishes we look forward to ordering because it's just that good. What I love most is having a restaurant where we already know there are dishes we enjoy and can look forward to every time. There's something about finding your go-to spot and knowing exactly what you're craving before you even walk through the door! If you've never been to Social Southern Table & Bar, I definitely recommend giving it a try. And do yourself a favor--order the fried green tomatoes! You can thank me later!

The pork chop was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, incredibly tender, and honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. It had a great char from the grill that added so much flavor, and the pickled peppers on top cut through the richness of the pork perfectly. The dirty rice underneath reminded me of my mom's rice dressing and soaked up all the juices from the chop. It was one of the best pork chop dishes I've had. My wife ordered the smoke fried chicken, and it was also excellent. The crust was crispy while the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato biscuits were light and delicious, and the pepper honey tied everything together nicely. For my taste, it leaned just a little on the sweet side, but it was still a very enjoyable dish. My daughter ordered the Social Cheeseburger with just meat and cheese. She loved it, and I was impressed too. Even with such a simple order, the burger was juicy, well seasoned, and served on a fantastic bun. She and my wife both could not stop talking about the hand cut fries. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the best fries we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We left very impressed and will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in the Lafayette area.

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!

Then I discovered Five Mile Eatery, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places in town. I am absolutely addicted to their vegan Caesar salad. It's fresh, flavorful, satisfying, and proof that vegan food can be anything but boring.

I know some people comment on the prices, but organic, high-quality ingredients cost more, and that's something many people don't realize. Personally, I don't mind paying a little extra for healthy choices and food made with quality ingredients.
