The portions are always plentiful, enough for most people to share one plate. The fried food is always fried to perfection. The portions for the price are unbeatable! Consistency is always on point with them. You get the same every time you go! The employees are amazing as well. Always very pleasant & now that my mom has gone back many times they have made it a point to remember her. As other reviews have said, don't let the outside fool you! This place is a MUST TRY!

Our waitress was super friendly, patient, and helpful, and everyone we met was welcoming. They even brought us a complimentary cheese dip for our first visit--it was amazing! We tried the spicy pesto chicken flatbread, which was flavorful and filling. This place has a fun sports bar vibe with a huge bar, but it's very family-friendly with plenty of seating, including cozy couches and booths. We also played some simulated games for $10/hour which was a steal! (Prices do vary during busy times!) I can't wait to bring my son and friends to play while moms sit back and visit and enjoy drinks. And thank you to our lovely waitress for the coupons for our return!

We had chicken and sausage gumbo, Pepper Jack boudin balls, bam bam gator bites and the blackened chicken pasta. The waiter this time was better than the waitress we had last time. He was very attentive and made sure we never had to ask for refills. The appetizers came out fairly normal time-wise I would say. The main portion took a little bit longer than what you're used to at a franchise restaurant but here that's perfectly fine as it's worth the couple extra minutes. The gumbo is perfect(I love when gumbo is not over complicated) I like to add a lil hot sauce to it and it's delicious... only thing is, while they already give generous portions... the cup and the bowl looked exactly the same except I think in the bowl they give you one extra scoop of rice... which would be just fine if it wasn't like $6 more. But still delicious nonetheless. The bam bam gator bites were really good and I highly recommend them. If you like bam bam shrimp you'll love these. The pepper jack boudin balls were good, nothing special but they were definitely worth the try. My co-worker had the blackened chicken pasta and when I asked him how it was he said "dude, it's really good!" lol. The building is pretty unique and they have some outside seating with a massive beautiful tree that over looks the restaurant and takes claim to some of the asphalt in the parking lot lol. But it's a great spot for birthdays, good lunch menu deals, casual date night or if you wanna blow some steam off, they have a little bar in the restaurant as well. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend. I'm from East Texas, so I'm no Cajun/Louisianan but they truly got some good grub here. I'll definitely be coming back several more times when I get the chances. I will warn you, I believe the food is freshly made so when it gets to the table, give it some time to cool off because it comes out HOT.

We truly enjoy this place and come here when we think of it - it's a bit out of town. The food is…read morealways excellent. The service is usually quite good, although we have had a couple of misses. The old house is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, but it could use a refresh in some areas - for example, the carpet and restrooms are worn and dated. This last visit was with friends, and we arrived on the late side without reservations but were greeted with smiles and never rushed. We had sautéed crab claws to start, which are served in a sauce similar to New Orleans style barbeque shrimp. They were large and tender, and the sauce was great for bread dipping. We ordered seafood pasta (sorry, no photo), chicken Parmesan, veal osso bucco, and paneed veal. All were delicious and perfectly cooked, served hot and fresh. Portions are generous - I had lunch for another day. We were too full for dessert, but there will be a next time!

Food and ambiance is always wonderful. Would recommend for any special time out with your loved one.read more

Prejean's Broussard was an amazing Cajun experience! We just…read moreate there and it answered so many questions about real Cajun cuisine! First of all, there are a whole bunch of free parking and it was easy to find this restaurant. The atmosphere was low keyed and subtle, not loud and rambunctious. We were seated immediately, even if we were early for our reservation and our very friendly and helpful server, Jaslyn, was awesome! She suggested to start off with a delicious strawberry margarita and it was a home run! Perfectly blended garnished with both a lemon and a lime slice. We ordered the Prejean's seafood platter, which hit all the marks. Catfish filet, oysters, crawfish, alligator, shrimp, hush puppies and fries. Everything was lightly battered and not the least oily. We also had to try the chicken, andouille sausage gumbo and the crab cake vermilion which were so delicious! But, the highlight was our extraordinary server, Jaslyn! The was the epitome of southern hospitality with her sweet, unassuming personality! The next time I'm in Louisiana, I'll be back at Prejean"s!

When the order was ready, a lady just dropped off the bag with food prepared to go left the table number on the table and just walked away. Maybe they just cater to regulars.
