It is peak crawfish season. There were big flags planted in the lawn out front saying "crawfish". There was a digital billboard lit up saying "crawfish". We go in, sit down, order crawfish, and are told they only have crawfish on certain days and today isn't a crawfish day so no crawfish.I switched to a ceasar salad with grilled shrimp, and was served a salad with a handful of little cocktail shrimp on top.Service was great, nice looking place inside, but overall a pretty poor culinary experience, there are far better Cajun restaurants in the area that actually serve the food they have advertise out front to draw you in.

A week late but I have to give credit where it’s due!Food & service is always great!Oh & that top shelf margarita, amazingggg!This particular visit exceeded our expectations, our waitress Jaslyn was the best server we’ve ever encountered! It’s literally like we had made a ‘cousin’ not a friend.From her introduction to the end of our dining experience she had our little family smiling and laughing from ear to ear as if we were related!Our 1 y.o who isn’t very friendly even babbled a few words to her.Absolutely love when the little one is acknowledged & not just seen as a baby in a high chair taking up room.Highly recommend & def will be back!

A coworker and I took a vendor here for lunch, and we all were thoroughly impressed. Ordered the Char-Grilled Oysters Supreme as an appetizer, and they were fantastic. I ordered the Catfish Atchafalaya as a main meal, and it was also very good. Very clean restaurant and excellent service. Will be back next time I'm traveling to Lafayette/Broussard.

I wanted to highlight some seafood dishes and a few other things from our last couple of trips to Prejean's. A few of our go-to dishes at Prejean's are the Crawfish Enchiladas and the Shrimp Trinity. Both are packed with flavor, and I would highly recommend trying. The seafood platter has so much food on it that you can eat on it for multiple meals. We do have a little turf in the mix with the grilled to perfection pork chops.Crawfish EnchiladasShrimp Trinity - Shrimp & Grits, Fried Shrimp, & Stuffed Shrimp.Seafood Platter - Shrimp, Crawfish, Catfish, Gator, Oysters, & Hush PuppiesGrilled Pork Ribeyes
Stopped in for lunch and everything was so good! I highly recommend the Caesar salad with lump crab!!! My spouse said this is the best old fashion in Lafayette!! (Smoked old fashion)

If you close your eyes, you might think for a moment that the chicken cracklins are actual gratons! Easily one of the best versions of chicken nuggets ever. Fried catfish was on point. The crawfish étouffée was pretty good. It was nicely seasoned, but it tasted like they used heavy cream in it. Now, don't get me wrong here. It did NOT taste bad. It just didn't have the same richness profile that I'm used to. The corn macque choux was really good. The mini pie version they serve is a nice touch and something different. This place is worth a visit if you haven't been yet.
We were recommended to dine here by a local. We are so very glad we took her advice. Classic Cajun cuisine in a pleasant dining hall. Great service

First time here and we went a little late in the evening. Restaurant was quiet with only a few tables left. Our server was incredible. She was personable and attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. Made wonderful recommendations on the food and we all loved our choices. We will definitely be back and will try a brunch soon. Our server said it was the best around!
Our dining experience at Prejean's was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and our server was incredibly informative and sweet throughout the meal, enhancing our overall experience. She suggested the pretty in pink drink and it's definitely my new favorite. The food was outstanding. I'm not a fan of veggies and we ordered an extra order of green beans to bring home because they were so yummy. We left thoroughly satisfied and already planning our next visit. Prejeans has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorite dining spots, and we can't wait to return for another amazing meal.
Our waitress Jasmine was great!
