Nice place, great food. We went a day with a country band but waiters were not prepared to have a crowded place. They were turning crazy with so many people. Recommended
Good place to try. The food is good and the prices are reasonable.
First time eating here. We sat looking at reviews while we waited, and saw that slow service was a common issue. The waiter is also the owner, and possibly the cook.We ordered a variety of items, the fried alligator appetizer, the boudin ball appetizer, the catfish and etouffee lunch special (with a redbeans & rice sub), the shrimp and oyster plate & a side of garlic bread.The alligator came out first. The flavor was great (probably the highlight of the meal) but the batter was soft and mushy peeling off the meat inside, which was disappointing.Next was the boudin balls. The batter on these was a little crispier than the alligator, but the boudin filling was just decent. It lacked some spices and the texture was a bit more mushy than I care for. The best ones I've ever had fall somewhere just in the middle. I've eaten at a few places on what Louisiana calls "the boudin trail" a tour guide of the best ranked boudin restaurants in Louisiana.Then our main entrees arrived. The catfish had decent flavor, the majority of it was of a thickness that it wasnt dry or chewy. It had a little bit of a fishy flavor, but wasnt bad. The etouffee was probably my 2nd favorite item. It was mushy however, due to what seemed to be crushed rice as a thickener rather than flour and cream. It was similar to a thick rice soup. The flavor however was really good, had some spice, wasnt fishy at all and was filling, an order of this on a cold rainy day would hit the spot.. I gave my friend some and they agreed it was one of the better items.My friend was most impressed by the alligator as well, but said it was amazing when put on top of the garlic toast like a po-boy.The last glitch in the visit came at checkout. I noticed my total was nearly the same as my friends, yet he had ordered a more expensive meal & appetizer. I went back inside, the owner re-added everything twice and refunded me the difference of about $6.While it was one of the more expensive meals of our trip, and overall the food wasnt bad, it fell a bit short of what I had hoped for. Not sure I would make this a destination in the future, but if I was in the area again, I would consider going back.
Crawfish Review-Lafayette Cajun has good crawfish, medium large and no fishy smell.The seasoned boil mix for some reason is dry when the crawfish are served, none to be seen at the bottom.Small corn and potato.The drawn butter is the best I've ever seen or tasted at any restaurant, hi praise!The rest of the authentic Louisiana style menu looks very accomplished and will try after crawfish season.I would come back for crawfish.
Love this place. Small. Quaint. Fair prices. Owner works the front counter himself. Hard working and gives excellent service. Love all the different fish dishes but my favorite is the one with artichoke lemon sauce. I order double veggies instead of rice and they are steamed fresh. I go there at least once per week and I've never been disappointed. To-go packaging is done well too. Crawfish is also very good. A neighborhood gem. My only complaint is parking is challenging but I sometimes park across the street at the grocery store and just walk over.
Food is great and cook to order. Not fast food but so worth the wait. Order appetizers, they come quickly! Staff is great.
After years of passing by this place I finally ate here last night. The boudin balls were good. I had the crawfish etoufee and dirty rice. At first it tasted OK but got more underwhelming with each bite. The dirty rice had mushy rice and little flavoring. I decided to box the leftovers because I did get full. Portion was good size. Server was great. An hour after getting home my stomach was horrible! Like on fire! Today I decided to take a bite of leftovers (stupid me) and one bite has me burning from the inside out again. I grew up with my Cajun grandmother so I know real Cajun food. This is mediocre at best. 2 stars instead of 1 because our server was excellent.
Food was decent, but definitely not Cajun/Creole. I got the Lafayette pasta with chicken. Chicken wasn’t well seasoned. Boudin balls were better then the actual main course. Service was above average.
Ordered the seafood platter and Lafayette pasta as to go orders. The food was delicious! And it was also reasonably priced. Despite being busy, with a large party dining in the restaurant, the waiter was cheerful. I look forward to my next visit!
The needle in the haystack, like you should have ate this yesterday, your missing out, go hurry every dish I ordered was AMAZING!!!!!
