“Kassy was our server and she was awesome! She was super friendly and stayed on top of everything! Can’t recommend her or Fat Pat’s enough!!“

“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!“

“Staff behind the counter are amazing.
The food, especially the ribs, are absolutely great. Kind of remind me of mission barbecue.However, I will note that this place is also much more expensive than mission barbecue. Two people, two meals, two drinks came up to around sixty four dollars.“

“Old school simple country atmosphere with Cajun roots“

“Love there breakfast the biscuits are delicious“

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

“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.“

“This food is amazing! Hands down a chef who tops his food with love!“

“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“

“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!!! ?????“

“my first time here. Great service. staff was friendly, restuarant was clean and quiet other then the regular chatter. the staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. *Editing* To add the food was delicious! huge serving size. I recommend the crab dip appetizer so flavorful!“

“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!“

“We love the Monday $8.99 cheeseburger and fries special! We take advantage of that any time we have extra money to eat out. But today sealed it for us. My boyfriend ordered a Caribbean jerk chicken sandwich for pickup. I got a very apologetic call that they were out of that particular chicken and offered to sub the chicken. No problem! When I picked up the order, she remembered and apologized again. It was delicious. My son’s burger was perfect and so was mine. We will be back again ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Let me tell you I am so blessed to be neighbors at my shop @on site window tint with Noah’s cafe. Not only is the food best I ever had (every day) but this family really puts in the work I know real when I see it they are dedicated to community and making sure we get the best! Make me and my family feel like their own and take care of anything we ever need- type of people you want to do business with thank yall so much 🥰“

“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 😭“

“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.“

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

“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 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!“

“Create atmosphere nice people“

“Greatc food. We enjoyed our 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.“

“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!“
