“The wings are on POINT. And I am loving the app exclusives. My favorite wings in Lafayette, bomb sauces made in house and fresh food every time. Cannot wait for the new location by ambassador.“

“Great place for breakfast or maybe just a hamburger. The food is wonderful at a reasonable price . I only wish they had a single cup of coffee price . That's all I need , 1 cup , I don't sit there talking with friends for an hour or two drinking cup after cup. I do like my coffee with my breakfast but not for aprox $4.00/w tax for 1 cup .
Other than that this place is Awesome.“

“Hidden gem in Lafayette! I’m from out of town and had to cater a picnic lunch for our traveling soccer team. I stumbled upon Joey’s and I’m so glad I did! Food and service was over the top. Mr. Joey himself helped me carry out my order. The market is amazing, I wish I could’ve stayed longer to shop! Well done!“

“Love there breakfast the biscuits are delicious“

“An amazing atmosphere and great employees with such an amazing food. Everything is a plus.“

“I like the store but my friend was behind someone at the food counter and they served them but didn't come help my friend. It's like they just were to busy to help. We were only ones in the business n there were 2 people standing behind the counter doing absolutely nothing. I won't even stop at that Go Bears again. I might stop at the one across the street like I usually do, maybe! ?“

“Friendly service … food was hot and snowballs was juicy“

“Went in to eat in the restaurant and the wait was terrible, however when the food was finally ready it made the wait 100% worth it. I would highly recommend going eat there. The waitress her service was fantastic, Very friendly made me feel at home.“

“I took my kids and friend there on yesterday to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. After receiving our food, the waitress asked if everything was ok. I informed her that my shrimp was over cooked and was very hard to chew. She said she would inform the manager….we waited 8 minutes and no manager came. We watched him walk back and forth without ever acknowledging me. When the waitress passed back I asked her what did he say, she said oh, he said that how they cook it. Finally after 5 minutes or so he came, saw and said him self that my shrimp was overcooked and that he’ll be back. I waited and waited he never came back. I had the shrimp poboy that had a total of 5 and a half shrimp on it. It was like they took pieces of crust and stuck it between bread. My friend got up and stopped him to ask what’s going on because he never came back. He told her that I couldn’t be accommodated because I ate some it. They were all very unprofessional. I’ll never go back there. That definitely not how you handle business and the customer.“

“Fried shrimp and fish are my favorite.“

“Indoors was full so we chose to eat outside rather than leave and I’m so glad we did! We had our daughter so they even offered to bring an additional fan to point towards her. They were very attentive and kind the entire time. We ordered an appetizer and our two entrées and everything was GREAT! Bonus points everyone eating there just like us were just the sweetest as they were passing us walking in and out of the restaurant! And no I don’t think that was coincidence or luck, that Park Bistro and its service just attracts those type of people! Most definitely will be back and will recommend to others!“

“Ate the lunch special today , it was a wondeful meal“

“Wonderful day out with the family on New Years. The place was active but not overly packed. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive. The food tasted great and came out quickly.

Kid-friendliness: Provides 2 crayons and a color sheet that is the kid menu. Currently 6.99 for a kid entree, side and drink.“

“Great inexpensive burger!!“

“The food! It’s the best Greek food in Lafayette!!“

“What an amazing place to eat, relax and chill. The food and drinks were amazing. The bartender was sweet and enjoyable. She made our experience great. Didn't catch her name but she had short bangs and wavy hair. Fun time. Can't wait to go back.“

“Never ever disappoints!!! ?????“

“The only thing better than the food was our server, Skylee! 😁“

“Mandez’s is where we chose to have a much needed and overdue date night. Our waitress went above and beyond. We ordered the seafood nachos for an appetizer. Amazing! I ordered the crab cake dinner with a side of eggplant fries and a side salad with the pepper jelly vinaigrette. Crab cakes were flaky and cooked to perfection. Eggplant fries were crispy and not greasy. paired so well with the dip. Side salad was fresh , pepper jelly vinaigrette had the right amount of zing., and the pickled okra was the chef’s kiss! My husband ordered the shrimp basket and had no complaints. We loved that the dining area was small but well laid out. Great atmosphere! I can’t speak of the bathrooms because I didn’t need to use them while there. Definitely recommend!“

“Always great quality foods and generous servings. Great place!“

“The best hamburger steak I have had“

“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.“

“I've only ever gone through the drive thru but their drinks are always really good!! associates are very nice as well. the only complaint I'd actually have is something that's completely out of the employees control.... I've noticed that my drink will slowly seep out of the small holes in my styrofoam cup. my hands will get sticky so ill wash them and wipe the cup, only to see little beads of red liquid on the outside of my cup again. I have really bad sensory issues so this is enough to push me to another brand unfortunately 😭“

“My absolute most-favorite restaurant in Lafayette! 🫶🏽“

“We went to Mel’s on Johnston St. this past Saturday. It was busier than usual but there was a visiting football team and their supporters in town. The crowd was loud, but everyone seemed happy. The food came out hot and was very fast! The food and the service was excellent! We love Mel’s and had another great experience!“

“One of the great lunch locations anywhere. The menu is changed every week, and the chefs are amazing.

You have a front row seat around the giant kitchen area. You see your meals prepare right in front you every time.

The wine is selected just for the meals. From appetizers to entree, dessert and coffee… it is terrific.

The store has one of the best selections of great cookware of any place shopped.

For great dining anc great shopping, this is the place.“

“good food, great service.“

“Looked for a sit down crawfish boiler between Ville Platte and Lafayette that was boiling for lunch on a Saturday. Cankton Cafe was one of the few sit down places open and boiling. The place was easy to find with plenty of parking. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the crawfish seasoning and quality was above average. Definitely a small town restaurant worth taking a detour for.“

“Great evening with Pigeon Post Trivia!“

“Such a different place these days. An absolute 180 since Berry owned this place. I haven't been to Artmosphere in years because of it, but I can honestly say that the whole place now is a vibe. The new owner is obviously putting his entire heart and soul to not only the establishment but also to customer service and concern.
I will definitely be coming back.“

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

“The chicken strips...😋...juicy and delicious! Can I give 6 stars?!??!?!“

“I grew up with “THE” Fat Pat Johnson! The inspiration and family that owns and started this fine establishment! He was one of my best friends… I miss him every single day. His family… there’s not a better group of people on the face of this earth. We gave them hell Pat and I because we loved to have fun and having fun is what we always did! So if you wanna go to a place where it’s rooted in great beginnings and a wonderful family owned business. Go visit my boys place Fat Pat’s place and I guarantee you’ll have a fun time!! RIP Buddy! I can’t wait to see you again in heaven!“

“I think I found a hidden gem in Lafayette. My dear friend wanted to bring me out to celebrate my birthday. We drove from Alexandria la to Lafayette today. We walked in, and a server said we could find an empty seat. We were greeted by our server and ordered drinks and appetizers. My drinks were a coke and an espresso martini. My espresso was made to perfection. Our appetizers were the BBQ BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP..... Bacon wrapped shrimp in a savory NOLA style butter BBQ sauce which was delicious. We also ordered the BRISKET FRIES. Smoked brisket, pepperjack, cheddar, Cajun BBQ, chipotle aioli, and green onion. I swear those cheese fries were the best cheese fries I've ever eaten in my entire natural born life. Wow wow wow. I sat in shock about how good they were. We ordered our entrees I ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST...... Chargrilled chicken breast,', with grilled veggie medley and roasted fingerling potatoes. It was so delicious. My friend ordered the REDFISH VERMILION.
Grilled redfish topped with crawfish etoufee, served with chargrilled asparagus. I tasted some of her dish. It was yummy as well. Our server was nice and kind and treated us well as he maintained the bar. The atmosphere was laid back and it seemed everyone enjoyed being there. It was our first time and we definitely will be back.“
