“My new place to buy boudin. 👍“

“I’m new to the area and have already been to Tim’s Kitchen five times — three times for takeout, once dining in, and twice placing orders for pickup, including this past Sunday. Each visit, the customer service has been outstanding — always attentive, warm, and genuine. Tim greets you as soon as you walk in and knows his customers by name, making every visit personal and welcoming. The hospitality extends to his staff too — everyone makes you feel right at home. So far, I’ve had the barbecue twice, gumbo four times, fried shrimp, and the fried fish plate with étouffée, all with delicious sides, including great potato salad, which is hard to find. It all comes with that soft homemade bread, the perfect touch to any meal. And let’s talk about the desserts — I’ve had the wedding cake twice now, plus the red velvet, and both are the best I’ve had so far in Acadiana. Even my family members who were visiting couldn’t get over how good these homemade cakes are. I’ve also tried the chocolate chip doozie and the chocolate doozie with whipped cream (which was recommended by his wife — and what a great recommendation!). I have so much more to try at Tim’s, and I’m really looking forward to my next visit!“

“Best homemade cooking around!“

“What a hidden gem this place is! Delicious burgers and fries. Friendly employees. I will not be going to the fast food burger places again.“

“We were passing through the area and decided to experience some local eateries. This proved to be an excellent choice for us. From the moment we entered the establishment we knew this was going to be fun. The vibe of music, conversations and surroundings hit the right notes. It went from fried green tomatoes to a wedge salad for two and finally both smoked fried chicken and steak and Frites. We were not rushed but rather enjoyed conversation with Kate, she was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the establishment and impressed us immensely. The food was excellent and we will make sure to return again.“

“WOW!!! Is the only word to describe the food! By far the best plate lunch I've ever had, and I've had a lot. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. You owe it to yourself to give JB's a try. I give it 5 stars cause 10 ain't an option!“

“So good great rotisserie chicken, burgers, grits, fries, and shrimp. Every thing is so good!!!“

“We had a birthday celebration on Saturday night. I called for reservations a week in advanced, received a text confirmation minutes later. I then received a text reminder on Friday. THEN a phone call an hour before. The service was excellent. The food was fantastic and well priced. The drinks were well made. Couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner with family and friends.“

“We visited for the first time today and it was incredible! The line was long to get in but it moved quickly and definitely worth the wait. We'll be back!“

“Went for our lunch today while out in town and was very disappointed. We really wanted some good charbroiled oysters and got garbage instead. Our oysters were served to us luke warm and didn't look or taste "charbroiled" at all. The stuffing that came on top of mine was cold in the middle and the sauce that came with it on the side was cold as well. Ive never in my life been served cold cooked oysters! Absolutely disgusting. Won't be back. Years ago when I came everything was good but now its a big no for me. Disappointed amd dissatisfied after this lunch. O and let me not forget to mention our waitress was very unattentive and never came check on us after we received our food. So that made the experience suck too!“

“Best egg rolls ever and my kids love the lo mein.“

“We had a wonderful evening at POUR Restaurant & Bar in Lafayette. Our server, Isabelle, was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and made the night feel special. We enjoyed sitting outside in the beautiful weather while sipping cocktails (1942 Old Fashioned, Conundrum and Scout’s Honor red blends), sharing the Baked Brie appetizer, Grilled Chicken Breast entrée, and finishing with the Molten Chocolate Cake. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The service was quick, the food came out hot, and everything tasted fresh. The staff handled the rush without missing a beat, and the order was accurate down to the last detail. The place was clean, the prices were fair, and the whole experience was exactly what you hope for when grabbing fast food. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Warm, friendly staff. Delicious food. Only complaint is that there was no sweet potato pie and the red velvet cake was dry. They had a few items that were low, but they were working to replenish. This could be due to the after church crowd.“

“The service was great and the food was outstanding. I enjoy going to Cracker Barrel.“
