40 Best American Restaurants in Lafayette

“Highly Recommend!
Taco Tuesday- dont waste your time looking anywhere else. Affordable! Great selection of meats, American or authentic tacos, hard shell or soft, flour or corn. U can try one of each kind, no minimum number to order, dine in or carry out. The staff was amazing, helpful and friendly, and prompt!! Weekend specials with Mexican cuisine.“

“Legacy Pub is hands down the best restaurant in lafayette. Absolutely amazing service, always hot fresh food, atmosphere is perfect, big outdoor patio, any drink under the sun plus some. If you haven't been you need to go! The owner Jeff is a stand up guy, and his staff is always on point. All the servers are amazing! If you need to break the streak of being less than satisfied with an out to eat experience, Legacy is the place for you! Doug E Fresh“

“This place is now called Andies. The place is like a fusion of Waffle house and IHOP in a old diner setting. Classic setting. Reasonably priced and appears popular with locals. A must to visit and try their pancakes and other delicacy. Nice staff.“

“My wife and I went here for our 34 year anniversary and Ky was our wonderful waitress , she was the best ever , she was attentive but not invasive to the point where we couldn’t enjoy our dinner. The steak she had was great , she loved the green beans , my prime rib was amazing cooked to perfection the au gratin potatoes were delicious we both enjoyed the table side salad that they made for us . Again with Ky can’t say enough about her service hopefully she will be there when we go back I will request her . 10 stars ⭐️ A+++“

“Our 1st choice for beer + pizza [despite lackluster server attitudes], but my Blue Moon has been lukewarm the last two visits. :( Asked the waiter for a cold option and was met with an annoyed “meh” response and excuse for the warm beer vs interest in a customer issue/solution seeking…so we left for our 2nd choice. Might return to the Sparrow, might not.😕“

“Checked in online and chose room. Arriving at the hotel I was greeted with very friendly front desk staff and recognized as a Diamond member. Presented a warm cookie and informed two free bottles of water were in y room. Room was very clean and large with room for two chairs, a table, a long cabinet that contained the large screen TV, coffee maker, and a small refrigerator. The bathroom contained a walk in shower and was of decent size. Throughout my two night stay all the staff I contacted were friendly and ready to help. Had a sandwich each night from the lobby restaurant and they were delicious. The free coffee in the beautiful and spacious lobby was very good. The only drawback was the noise from I65 that could be heard in the evening. Recommend rooms ending in even numbers be selected as they are on the quiet side. I selected my room online not realizing the odd numbers face the freeway. I will stay here on my next visit.“

“Great meal and our service was excellent“

“Being new to the area my wife and I still trying learn where and what to eat this was our 1st time there. Service was excellent walked in and seated from first interaction with waitress from drinks to food served less than 15 mins. Food was amazing and we will definitely be back.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and fantastic wait staff! (very attentive, but not hovering... perfect!) My Seafood Pasta was spicy & soooo good!! (I had to use a shot of lemon juice to keep my lips from burning, but I loved everything about it!! 😁😘) The strawberry margaritas were so good. I do recommend having reservations, as the whole place filled up quickly, but we got in right away! Thank you, Easter End Grill! Our low-key anniversary was great! #Shy&Jess“

“Very nice open air setup with friendly service. It's tucked in a place where there is no other retail around, so could be hard to find when driving. You have to find the location on maps and then drive. Not much street signage.
One of local must visit place. Went for lunch, but I believe dinner may be more lively. Have outdoor seating.“

“Delicious food, great service and a beautiful building. Highly recommend!!“

“We went there on a Sunday and we were pleased with the atmosphere and the menu had good choices. We will be going back. It is a rare gem and not that far out of Lafayette. Our food was very good!“

“so many smiles. and the meals are more then just a. meal, they're momories.“

“My friend and I came here for the first time this morning when they opened. It was very quiet but got packed after 45’. Our waitress was kind and recommended the egg Benedict. The portion was generous for both of us. The egg Benedict was the best one I have ever had in a while. We really appreciate whoever made it! We absolutely will be back and refer to our family and friends! Thank you!“

“I was very disappointed when we went to Culver's a little before 9 pm, I check the website for closing time and it was 10 pm so we had time to go in for custard. we get there and they were already closed and this was a little past 9pm, that is not 10 pm, either someone doesn't know how to tell time or they don't want to work. we went to DQ they were open!“

“Amazing food with huge portions! Ribs were so tender and juicy with amazing bark. Sandwiches are huge!“

“I was in town on business stumbled across Red Seven while downtown. Great menu and drinks. Definitely recommend!“

“I’ve been eating here for several years it NEVER disappoints! Great food, great service, friendly staff. The food always comes out fast and cooked perfect!“

“I absolutely loved this Cheddars. I met my besty for lunch around 1:30p on a Saturday. Our server was so polite & attentive. Our food was great. Tasted amazing, looked great and portions were decent. Prices were fair. We git served in a timely manner. The atmosphere was clean & inviting. Will definitely come back.“

“Incredible food and service! Get the prime rib on Fridays!“

“We had such a great time at Digby’s Pub and Patio in Lafayette! After I posted in our towns FB chatter page asking if anywhere would be playing the Bills game, the owner, Mike, personally invited us down — and we’re so glad he did. The patio is super nice for outdoor seating, but inside has the exact small-town dive bar vibe you want to hang out in. Perfect spot to catch a game, with several huge TVs. The food was fantastic! We ordered the cheese bricks (the raspberry sauce is unexpected but so good!), spinach & artichoke dip, the Frisco Smash burger, and sweet potato fries that were absolutely addictive. The burger was cooked perfectly, hot, juicy, and served on perfectly toasted bread. Drinks and service were both a 10/10. On Sundays they also have $4 drink specials (Bloody Marys, screwdrivers, and mimosas)…can’t beat that. If you’re looking for a chill spot with great food, cold drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, don’t sleep on Digby’s. We’ll definitely be back!“

“My wife and I went in randomly one day for an appetizer and some drinks and sat at the bar. The service was great and so were the drinks. Due to the service we decided to go back and try it for dinner last night. We sat at the bar again, the bar staff was awesome and very friendly. The entire staff honestly was nice. Even the customers at the bar were super friendly. The place is super clean and nothing in there looks cheap, the bar is nice, the chairs, even the tables look nice. We sat there for hours and the bar just seemed like the place to be on a Friday night! The menu is pretty big and has a great variety. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you to the bartenders who have been nothing short of welcoming!“

“Longhorn is one of our favorite steakhouses. But not today. My wife got the Parmesan Chicken. This is always a great dish and today was no exception. And the sweet potato side we both got was great too. Our service was excellent as always. So why the food rating of 3 stars? The 12 oz ribeye steak I got was tough, lacked marbling, and was cooked medium although I asked for medium rare. Normally I get the 20 oz and it is great. But the 12 oz? Pass“

“Great food and service at a great price.“

“when I want breakfast in afternoon or for dinner I call for carry out. my food has always been hot and right never taken but 10 minutes to make. Going in get food it's always friendly people eating drinking never seen any one having problems. for that part of town you wouldnt think Linwood to be as peaceful, comfortable, and always w pleasure.“

“Great food and service! Friendly and welcoming!“

“The fruit drink is the best!! 🫶🏻“

“So so good!! They made a donut cake for my daughter’s birthday and it was 10/10!!!“

“This place is a ghost kitchen of Denny's, as such, some of the burgers are the same (or renamed version of) what you can get at Denny's. That said, it's a pretty solid choice around here for a burg.I tried the Pig 'N' Chicken Burger and the Rodeo Ring Beyond Burger and both were really good. The chicken wasn't overcooked like many places, and the Beyond Burger was flavorful with great toppings.They pack the burgers in sturdy boxes to prevent them from getting smashed.Just a couple of fumbles: I ordered a "double" on my sandwich and didn't get it, and the order also took quite a while to get.“

“Shannell B. is so amazing at her bartending. She can answer any question you have. I don't like beer except craft beer and she told me about Sam Adam's Winter White and I loved it. Now I have a place to go and enjoy amazing beer. Love her!“

“Came in when the place was packed, they got us in promptly food was amazing and our waitress Corina was truly top notch! Highly recommend heading in and requesting for her. Other than that bread rolls are always to die for.“

“Endless Shrimp for the win!!“

“The staff in Lafayette are so very kind and friendly. I stop every day on my way to work, they always have my smoothie ready for me, and every single day at least one employee gets me smiling. I think they definitely make my 12 hour shift ahead of me seem better.😊I truly appreciate them.“

“We stopped in just by chance and we're not disappointed! There were three guys that appear to be running the bar and waiting all the tables. There are a lot of good drink choices and delicious food. We tried the loaded waffle fries with bacon, cheese and jalapeño. It was enough to share and it was hot and yummy. We also ordered the bosco sticks. We have had them many places but they added something to the top of theirs that makes it taste great! They come with a cup of cheese and a cup of marinara.“

“It’s was good. The service was friendly.“

“Beer was very good. Had the red ale and the tripel. Tripel was exactly right on for the style. Our waiter was really too aggressive with trying to take our order right away. Some people want to relax. I'm not here for a waiter's convenience.“

“The service and the food was good. 😊👍 My fiancee had question the waitress did everything to get the answer. I would definitely recommend IHOP.👌“

“biscuits and gravy and the best in town. service was friendly and fast, food was yummy“

“We ordered through Doordash and never received our order. After calling Doordash, they did not help at all. The general manager, Jacob made things right. Thank you so much! Our shakes were amazing!! We will definitely be back, just not through Doordash.“

“Muy buenas amburgesas disfrutando con mi hijo“
