If I would have seen the yelp rating and comments before I would have never come. But saw the place and was like never been and it's been here so it can't be that bad. Surprised cause it was all pretty good. Fried mushrooms were good. Burgers were good. Meat is well seasoned and cooked right. Had the Hawaiian which only complaint is wish it had more pineapple as the tiny ring was not nearly enough. Fries good. Didn't like the sweet potato fries. Service was ok. Dessert were no good. Had the Oreo brownie and what I thought was supposed to be fried banana but it was fried custard or something. Shame the outside shell was good but filling not. Oreo brownie just was nasty, not sure what the taste was not quite Oreo not quite brownie. Oh well, for the ground patti name they did well for what you think they can do. read more

Disgusting!!! Horrible!! COLD! With one other table in the restaurant you would think they could have at least served a table of ONE hot food! Evidently they are either used to being told "NO" everything wasn't OK and/or have poor management because my server just preceded to pick up my plate as if it was a compliment. I NEVER write reviews but use them when I'm making decisions and didn't this time! I cannot allow someone to make the same mistake I made today! read more

Pleasant restaurant good food reasonably priced. Service was professional and efficient I would go back read more

Did hand off food but was left at door. No condiments on either meal. Burger was ordered without bun but nothing that went on burger was supplied read more

The best burger in town! Ice cold beer to pair with juicy goodness. I've also had the fried fish. Phenomenal restaurant!

Terrible service.. waitress was rude and very unprofessional. Food was decent, but not worth the money. I asked her what comes with burger and she said fries or onion rings... then charged extra for onion rings without telling me. Then gave herself a tip... never again! read more

I am so disappointed in their salad part of the menu. I ordered what was their signature salad. It was so lacking of all the ingredients listEd in the menu. The portion is grilled chicken would not have even weighed 1 ounce. actually it was a minimal portion of everything. If I'm ordering a salad for a meal and am will to pay 13 or more dollars I expect more than what I was served. It was as though the waitress made it in a flash and was mad about it. Also their ranch dressing was watery. I've had skim milk have more to it. I didn't see anything special about this meal. I can guarantee you this is the last time I will go to this restaurant for a meal. I'm sure that this place focuses on the bar crowd and could care less about people wanting to dine there for lunch. Again i rate this place L- last T- time read more

Ordered the grass fed beef burger and onion rings. Very disappointed in the quality and value. Service was slow and disinterested. Y'all need to step up your game imho. read more

Haven't been to a Ground Pat'i in years, as all of them by my home have closed. Really nice inside, very warm and inviting. Fresh, made to order onion rings were yummy. The Ground Pat'i burger was huge! Yummy. read more

The Ground Pat'i - New American Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

My favorite burger place is now my least.. I'm not sure what's going on but the hostess was our waitress, the bartender AND the cook.. I felt pretty bad for her.. the food was ok. But the wait was insane.. obviously because they have like 2/3 employees working tops. There were only 4 people in there for lunchtime, crazy.. the older couple behind us were complaining that the one employee didn't bring any of us silverware so they walked up front and grabbed silverware for everyone in the restaurant. This really sucks. This used to be the only place I'd want a burger from.. I give this place 6 months tops. read more

Don't waste your time. They are obviously not interested in having customers. Had never eaten there but was given a gift card so decided to try it. Went in on a Thursday at 6:00. Waited at the hostess stand for about 15 minutes while 3 different people looked straight at me and went on about their lives. Laid the gift card on the hostess stand and left. I sent an email informing them of my experience and to my complete shock, they didn't respond to that either. I won't try again and if you are interested in good service you shouldn't try it either. read more

We've eaten here a couple months back, and finally decided to review this place. I would never go here again, and the reason why I rate this place a 1-star is because I was a victim of the dishonestly that I witness here. After a meal with my significant other, I charged the bill on my credit card and left tips in CASH, I also wrote CASH where the tip line is located. I left him a 15% tip, although he was not attentive at all, but he still charged a 17% tip on my credit card, and did not realize the charge until my email notified me. It was only about $8, but just the thought of dishonesty disgusts me. I did not get the name of the waiter that waited on us, but because of him, I would NEVER EVER come here again. So, I suggest you to not come here, but if you do, use cash, you have been warned. UPDATE: I noticed the receipt, and I noticed the waiter's name on there, his name on the receipt says: 257 Lyle G read more

See all

Smoked ring patty -best burger I've had in a long while!!

No one greeted us at the door. Took long for our food to come out and the Burger was cold. Told them to heat it up. Came back the same temperature. read more

There was no Covid prevention in place. No masks. No sanitizer. Nothing. They weren't even practicing social distancing. The food was terrible. My salad was the same color as my plate...completely white. Very unappealing. read more

The burger was cooked perfectly through, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the service was friendly and responsive. The Humpti Dumpti was my meal of choice. I definitely recommend it! read more

My fiancé and I were so excited to try this place and it was TRASH. The burger was cold, no flavor and the bacon looked like microwave bacon. We didn't even finish the one burger we shared. Just go across the street to sonic and have a burger there it'll save you time and money. read more

Absolutely love this place. Has a great atmosphere and excellent customer service. Everything I have had is excellent especially the burgers. I did have one negative experience with a Togo order but the manager was very friendly and definitely made up for it. I highly recommend this location and if in New Orleans the location in gretna! read more

This place is usually my go to for a good burger and chili (my daughter and I like their chili). The burgers are consistently good. The reason for the 3 stars is the cleanliness, or lack there of. There were 3 people in the restaurant and the hostess (don't think she liked her job) sat me at the dirty table. The waitress, (she was great!!!) sprayed me with cleaner when she wiped it down, no harm no foul. read more

Using zero social distancing of tables or staff wearing masks when we were there on 6/12/20. When we asked why no masks or distance between patrons' tables, we were told it was how the owner wanted it. We left. read more

Complete and utter waste of $20, food took 20+ minutes with like 2 other tables there. Driest chicken and blandest burger. Also closed on sundays for the lords day but don't wear mask, so I guess they are ready to meet their savior rip. All in all it was butt read more

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE HERE!!! I ordered two burgers online and got the message that the order was confirmed after I had paid 28 dollars and eventually it was ready to pick up. I go to pick up the order and the employees looked completely clueless when I asked for my food. Come to find out later that the food never even existed and one employee started telling me that they don't even get the online orders? She started making tons of excuses, saying how they were short staffed even though there was MAYBE 5 tables in the whole restaurant. After she was done feeling making excuses it was revealed that they had indeed received my order but never made the food. SO WHY DID I GET A READY TO PICK UP message??? They just said sorry and that was it. You would expect them to comp my order (because thats what respectable business do) but they didn't. They didn't even offer to actually cook my order at all! The employee said I would get a refund after about three days but I seriously doubt that will happen. I want my 28 dollars back. P.S. If the owner reads this, I am a devout christian, but take down the Jesus portrait at the front, It's really creepy and incredibly out of place. The fact that you even have the audacity to put our lord and savior outside that godforsaken, mismanaged pigsty is beyond me. read more

Great place to eat. Dont miss out. The burgers are fantastic. Even the healthy stuff on the menu is tasty. I've been eating there all my life. Love it. read more

This is a good burger joint for lunch. They have a good burger selection as well as a good pulled pork sandwich. I have tried the ribs and they were decent and also the tuna and it was fair. That give you peanuts to snack on which is a nice treat and the drinks come in a steel mug which is also a little unique. In the 15 times or so I have been here the service has always been good and the food comes out fairly quick. You can get in and out in 35 minutes or so which is perfect if you want a nice sit down lunch and don't want fast food. I have never tried he steaks so I can't comment, but to me there are better rib and steak houses near by. However, if you want a good burger and a beer, this is a great option if you have tried some of my other recommendations. Enjoy! read more

The food was great, the service SUCKS. No napkins, no silverware, no server. We had to flag someone else to take our order! Get it to go next time. read more

This is the 3rd time I have been to this Ground Pat'i, and I can say that all 3 times I have been completely satisfied. Their service is quick, the food is hot, and the atmosphere is inviting. Tonight I ordered the brisket. The serving was plentiful and not to mention the brisket was perfectly done! I would recommend this dish and restaurant to anyone. read more

Came in spite of the 3 star rating. Sorry to say but seems three stars was generous. Our waiter was nice but we felt neglected. Walked in at 610 didn't get served until 730. Our neibors next to us came after us, were served before us and were ready for their check by the time our food arrived. The order was wrong, the meat on these burgers had impressive size so it was even more impressive that the burger could be so bland! Asked for wheat got white, my husband got a burger that was completely different than what he ordered and then the manager gave is $10 off of our $137 check... we didn't even ask to see him, it was just so obvious that we received bad service. And to top it off this was a mid week dinner, NOT busy at all. Keep rolling past this place! read more

Had lunch on a Saturday with my son. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with cheddar and my son ordered a chili burger with cheese. Took forever to get our food and the restaurant was not busy. When we finally got it, both burgers were cold. If you want to eat at ground pati, go to the one on johnston st. read more

With Covid19, everything had a 2+ hour wait. The parking lot here was empty. I assumed they did pick up only. But when I called they said they were open. We went in and I couldn't understand why nobody was there. I figured the food had to be bad. The place was clean. Staff was friendly. My daughter got grilled salmon and I had the philly burger. The fried mushroom appetizer was the best! The food was ok. A little pricey. We both really wanted steak and they were out. Which given circumstances is understandable. However our ticket for the two of us was $65. And like I said. I had a burger. It was worth it not to have to wait to eat for 2 hours. But that's the only reason. read more

Let me start off by saying that the service here was okay. The server was very polite and attentive. Everything else was well below my standards. I ordered a burger and there was no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. The fried pickles were okay. My soft drink was flat. So will I go there again? Probably not. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place but last night was absolutely horrible. First off there were only 7 tables with customers and they piled 5 of us into the same area. The service was really slow and we had to ask for refills everytime and we had to ask to have the dirty dishes cleared. One table ordered 10-15 mins before us and didn't receive their food until about 30 mins after us and all they had were burgers. The food portions were small and just ok for the prices. My meal came with a baked potato which only had butter on it. I asked for the rest of the fixings(cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and chives) and never received them. The "salad" that came with my meal consisted of chunks of Romain lettuce, 2 cherry tomatoes, 1 purple onion ring, and 2 pieces of shredded carrot. We used to love this place and went there frequently but sadly last night was our last night going. read more

Horrible service. When I asked for more than two small baskets of peanuts for our family of 6, the waitress told me that they don't allow more than two and that "after you eat those, I'll bring you more". When I asked if I could please get my salad before my burger, her response was "Um, it's SUPER busy, so um...I'll try". I had a much better experience at the location on Johnston. read more

A great place to eat at if you are craving a burger, i had an amazing server named Aaron. This guy seriously deserves a raise!!

I have been eating at Ground Pat'i since I was a little girl. This is still my all time favorite burger place. I moved to Austin, TX roughly 4 years ago and ever time I come home to Lafayette to visit the family, we always stop by here to grab a burger. I have yet to find another burger place that does it as well as the Pat'i! read more

Great place to go to get a burger. Good food and nice service. Try the sweet potato fries, they are so good!

Not sure what is good about this place besides the peanuts. Don't use your credit card here either, unless you want to be charged by someone in Bermuda. read more

I almost turned around and walked out because at 6 p.m. there were only two cars in the parking lot and I didn't see anybody else inside. I'm glad I stayed. Very friendly service, as a traveler I get tired of the same pains everywhere and this would definitely had unique food that was very tasty. read more

3/5. Reasons are food was good but not for the price that we later saw on the bill for three people it came out to wayyyy more then we thought it was and prices didn't match the food . Second the server wasn't the greatest , she had maybe one table besides us and wasn't very attended , didn't get drinks for 10-15 minutes, never Asked about refills till we were out of drinks completely, didn't prebuss table as we went . She didn't even know the menu, when we ordered food , my dad said Santa Fe burger and instead she brought him the salad, which at the end That is a server mistake because she did not repeat back the order and if that was done at the restaurant I work at we would be trouble because we are taught that in training .He didn't say anything because he didn't wanna make a big deal out of it but I surely spoke up and she didn't try to fix it at all she just said sorry and walked away. I wouldn't recommend this place if your looking for great service, like I said food was just VERY OVERPRICED!!!! Thanks read more

Walked in waited for 10 minutes for a hostess to finally sit us, we sit down and order our French onion soup which was the best part of our meal, the plates stayed on the table for 30 minutes, our waters were empty for 25 minutes (only 4 tables in the entire place). When we tried to substitute something for a burger the waitress said "we do not do many substitutes, sorry." The burger was absolutely pathetic for being $10, sonic serves a better burger. Also your employees eating in the room across the way in front of customers is disgusting. Will not be back. read more

Best spinach and artichoke dip I believe that I've ever ate. Really good burgers and love the decor and atmosphere. Service was friendly. Will eat here again next trip to lafayette read more
