    This place is fun! The people are very nice and it has a great vibe. You walk in and immediately you get energy and the crowd is having fun without being too bat shit crazy. Really nice selection of drinks. We got several different ones: Urban South Paradise Park Strawberry, Twisted Tea Draft(Great) and Happy Mom Raspberry Seltzer(Not a fan) were among those we tried. I wish we had one of these back in Houston. It's an easy place to just go and have fun at whatever pace you want. You can jump in the crazy or just chill over on the side and people watch. Will definitely come here again if we return to Lafayette. The staff were also really solid.

    Awesome place in Lafayette. It's a true tap room. They have multiple beers on tap, including hard cider. They have a pretty decent inside space but really they're known for their outside space tons of outdoor seating live music fire pits plenty of seating. They have a food option, which is OK wasn't my favorite part of it.

    Bartenders know how to pour.

    Everything about this place is top notch. Great selection of beer, bourbon, wine and mixed drinks. Comfortable, spacious and wood-based interior makes for a nice ambience complimented with a friendly, knowledgeable and competent staff. As a bonus, staff is able to "read the room" with music and volume. Every city should have a bar like this.

    In town on a business trip and the client recommended this spot. Came in and had a local beer on tap, loved it. The food is separated and you order outside. They take Apple Pay at the food stand too! Everyone was very nice and I enjoyed the vibe here. Cheese curds were great, Brussel sprouts were different, not bad but wouldn't order them again.

    This is a terrific place for a fun night and a few drinks! It's all outdoors but have fans to keep you cool. Unique areas to sit and different games to play - we truly loved it

    Celery and carrots with the wings

    We had really high hopes for this place, drove an hour and a half for it actually. Unfortunately we were a little disappointed. The ambiance is very nice, several tv's with tons of choices on draft, wines, and cocktails. Plenty of seating and fans/shade. I would recommend this place for having a beer with your friends and just hanging out! My husband got the burger, rated it a 6/10 saying it didn't have a lot of flavor and the bun wasn't really cooked at all. Pepper jelly was good. We got the "steak fries and 5 sauce flight" well.. they are just regular French fries. And the sauces were.. well.. basically mayo, ranch, Worcestershire, some mango thing, and packets of ketchup. I ordered the wings and got Cajun rub. I ended up getting all drumsticks and they were kinda dry but alright. I figured the price for 6 wings was okay considering you get a thing of celery and carrots, unfortunately I didn't eat them--- really dry and dirty and ugly tbh. We got the bread pudding to hopefully brighten our spirits and we both didn't like it. Overall we were just a little disappointed but wouldn't mind returning for some drinks and hanging out!

    Soggy and gross, in 5 minutes.  Meat pie & Nacho's.  $23  Food was NOT good. Nacho's had a granular sauce type, flavor lacking.

    Nacho's Soggy and gross. Out of kitchen 5 minutes Cheese had no flavor and granular. Meat Pie app was box frozen type. Not impressed.

    Good beer selection

    It was good and a pretty fun place to go to. They had bingo the night I went. I'm from Texas so this is not a normal spot I go to.

    We just wanted a late night spot for greasy food and chill vibes but unfortunately the service at…read morethis location was less than desirable. It took the waitress five minutes just to get to our table and another ten minutes to place the order. When the food did arrive, she initially forgot to give us utensils and by the end of the meal, wasted no time in handing us the check without bothering to ask us if we wanted anything else. At first I thought she was just having an off day, but when her friends came in, she made sure to immediately place an order for them. It also should be noted that the seats are low and uncomfortable so I don't recommend dining here if you are wheelchair-bound. All that said, the food at Fat Pat's was exceptional --from the well-seasoned crispy onion rings to the homemade queso dip. I also really loved the loaded nachos as it was laced with savory hamburger meat and not the grainy taco meat that usually ruins a proper nacho dish. The fried pickles and boneless wings were also well-done and exactly what you would expect from a greasy spoon. I was expecting more of a restaurant and less of a bar but this particular location is essentially a bar that serves decent food. 5/10 decent quality food but I probably wouldn't return!

    Stopped here for lunch on a work trip - a nice clean place that would be great for after work and…read moregame days. The food was good! I got the chicken Ceasar wrap with fries. Wish there was more dressing on the wrap but overall filling. The burger specials looked good and might try next time

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner and a nice visit. The service was excellent. The overhang could be larger, it was raining really hard and a lot that night.

Great music, good greasy food and a fun atmosphere. 30 years later, I felt like I had entered a nightmare...minus my teeth falling out. First of all, there was a line to get in. It WAS Mardi-Gras, after all. But, there were only 6 or 7 people ahead of me. They were only letting people in as people were leaving and from what I could hear of the door man's conversation, the rest room was to the right. Literally everyone in front of me lined up only to use the bathroom. It's true! I saw the same people coming back out that had already been let in. Holy crap, Batman! I might be in the wrong line! So I finally asked the doorman if I was in the correct line but he was so robotic and only asked me for my id then there was a girl who unhooked a rope at the door opening. I went inside. I was so shocked to find virtually no one in the place. Okay...there were maybe 10 people sitting at the bar and dining tables COMBINED. in addition. I could only see two people behind the bar and I had previously noticed the outside walk up window had been painted shut years before. I got the courage to ask one of the patrons drinking a daiquiri(?) from a pitcher sized pail. He looked back at me and said they had had a visit from the fire department and were told the had to curb their customers from going inside because of the lack of bar tenders and waitstaff. So they stopped cooking food and were only serving mostly melted drinks because of the lack of help. Oh. I completely forgot the lack of AC that night!
