“Started buying crawfish/shrimp from here when they were on Verot. Now I have to drive further to get to Carencro but I won't buy them from anywhere else. The flavor and spice are the best and I'm hooked! The crawfish/shrimp combo is my go-to.Kid-friendliness: They have a few kids' options.“
“Ok I need to wright a review with 200 words so I chose this place thing is tho I’ve never been here don’t even live here but the places name is cool “swankys Downtown” W name very cool I don’t even know what the got here but it’s probably good. Anyway ima tell a story about my pain when trying to play ping pong, ok so me and my dad where at the worlds second largest Marriott very cool place 10/10 but I wanted to play sum ping pong so I went down to the pool but there where people playing so me and my dad went up to our room. The next day we went to go get breakfast and when we came back, the same two people where playing ping pong now thing is they aren’t GOOD they aways miss the ball like how can that be fun. The NEXT DAY THEY WHERE STILL PLAYING PING PONG I hope this was long enough.“
“The food was good, and when I ordered fried pickles, they brought out all of them. Clearly, all of the fried pickles were on my appetizer plate from the kitchen. It was fantastic. I can't even remember what I ate after that, but I know it was also good.“

“Been coming here since about 2010 and the food is always amazing. Living in Lake Charles I do not get to come as often but me and my husband took my grandma here tonight at the new location. Same great taste and excellent customer service. My husband said this is probably the best Mexican food around and that is high praise coming from a Texas boy. Will most definitely be back!The chunky guac is amazing. We had the spicy burrito, fajita burrito and taco salad. All was amazing!Also our server, Fernando, was great and my grandma really loved the way he joked around with her.“

“OTR Truck drivers who stopped in. I was craving oysters & used Google to find this spot. So glad we dined here. Everything was GREAT! Our waitress, Kat, was friendly, knowledgeable, very attentive. She took care of us. The food was delicious. My hubby was very pleased. He lived in Louisiana so he his familiar with Cajun Seafood & he saids Uncle T's was spot on. I even brought a T-shirt. We got dessert to go, cheesecake. We really enjoyed our whole experience. Ms. Kat made it better. (Thank you) We will be back & have recommended it to our other trucker friends. It's worth it!“
“This was our first time eating in Lafayette and someone recommended coming here for some authentic Louisiana food with great taste. Without a doubt this was AMAZING. Our server, Max Dean, was so attentive and nice. He recommended what to try and not try as our first time and was GENUINE about it! He even recommended us places to go visit while in Lafayette. The food was amazing. It was our first time trying gumbo and we tried both of them and hands down, our favorite was the Chicken & Andouille. Recommend this place 100%!“
“Had the steak nachos and the bimbimbap. Pretty good considering it’s not a Korean restaurant and I’m a LA native. The server and hostess was friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu choices. A great no nonsense reasonably priced dining choice any day of the week“
“This restaurant is a gem. It's hard to beat food of this quality at a truck stop considering what type of restaurants most of them have. I got the shrimp Alfredo and it was fantastic. I will be eating here every time I come by this place.“
“The Brown Skillet Restaurant was wonderful! Food is exceptional with an endless variety of menu options to please any taste. And the customer service was very friendly and professional. This is a great place in the heart of downtown Lafayette that is great for individuals, families, groups, and others to have a great meal (dine in or pick up). You'll love it!“
“We went for our Anniversary on March 20th 2024. It was out first time. We both enjoyed everything. It was very romantic. Jessie was our waitress who made us feel right at home. Even brought us some chocolate cheese cake for out anniversary. It was good. I would def recommend and go back..“
“I have used this business several times.i travel from Alabama to get seafood from this establishment. The price is a reasonable the people are very friendly and accommodating. The seafood is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommended this business.“
“Food is always good, very basic, you get crawfish, boiled shrimp, or crab legs. Kids get a hot dog if they don't want seafood.Side note, your entire party must be present to sit. Not sure if thats all the time or just during busy hours.“
“I was in LaFayette for a real estate conference and we decided to dine at Ruth’s Chris. This was my first dining experience here and the reputation of being an excellent restaurant with excellent quality food and service remained true. Jessica, our server, was pleasant and attentive. The food was superb!“
“Tonight was the second time dining at Cafe Josephine's. As a delectable repeat the crab egg rolls were ordered. The crab meat tonight was not spoiled but far from fresh tasting. Did eat almost half trying to convince otherwise. On another note, the waitstaff both times were service oriented and accommodating, thank youVegetarian options: an adjacent diner had macaroni and cheese while I had the roasted brussels sprouts“

“I wish I had taken pictures of the food before we devoured it!? My husband and I went on a lunch date to Mandez’s Seafood for the first time last week. He had the catfish platter, and I had the Smokehouse Burger! Everything was delicious, and the serving sizes were proportionate to the price! Service was great as well. We will definitely return to try more menu items!“

“I usually eat here only during crawfish season, because their crawfish is the best in town!!! Today I was hungry for bbq and wasn’t sure where to get some from. Got on google and noticed they served bbq. OMG!!! I ordered a pork steak plate. The meat was falling off the bone. The taste was just right. Even the potato salad was perfect! I now have a go to spot for bbq here at this place. Do yourselves a favor and try them!!!!“
“Omg! The food was so AMAZING! We ordered the vermicelli bowl with Korean bbq, pineapple shrimp ban bang fried rice , sirachi and kimchi fries and bulgogi lettuce wraps. Plus the service was excellent. Our waitress name was Vivian and she was so sweet. We tipped her good and will be back next time we are in the city of Lafayette, LA.“

“Had the BEST experience using Crawfish Jake for our client appreciation event! Communication was prompt and professional leading up to the event. The staff that serviced our event was polite and accommodating considering the weather wasn’t on our side for part of it. They had backup plans for us if the weather didn’t work out. I didn’t have to worry about anything day of. They brought iced down drinks, boiled and plated crawfish and sides and had premade dip ready to go. They handled all trash and cleanup. I could seriously go on and on. Jake even checked in during the event to check on everything. And lastly, the crawfish were AMAZING! All of our clients raved about the perfect seasoning level, the crawfish were large and easy to peel and the staff made sure everyone was enjoying them and offered to make accommodations if necessary. 10/10 would recommend and will use again!“
“We went for the Sunday brunch. It was amazing! My 5 kids enjoyed it very much! Ms Maggie is amazing! The food was fresh and seasoned to perfection! The waffle with gator bites and spicy syrup is a must try! It is a delightful experience ❤️Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. There is music so you don't have to worry about keeping your kids quiet. There is room in between the tables for the kids to dance. They give the children 4 crayons and a activity sheet. The food portion is excellent. There is so much to look at on the walls to keep them busy. Even the TV had cute animals to keep their attention. Oh and the food came out quickly before my kids had a chance to get bored.“
“Came to the crawfish spot while in town for work as crawfish season is my favorite season. Nothing special about the decor but it's perfect for crawfish enthusiasts like myself. Plenty of parking as well. Kept it simple and ordered crawfish dip as well as some boiled crawfish with a level above mild seasoning. That dip was on of the best things I've ever put in my mouth, i could've ate that alone. The crawfish were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Now the seasoning wasn't hot per say but after a few pounds it was burning me up from the inside. Nonetheless the crawfish was good as I revisited the next day for all you can eat crawfish and at about 8-9lbs before tapping out, this time with mild seasoning. Service was pretty good. They were informative of the menu and regularly checked with us. 2nd day there was a bit of a struggle as they were training someone but nothing bad things just took a little longer. Will be back in next crawfish season to see if i can eat 10lbs or more in one sitting!“
“Big crawfish at a reasonable price, perfectly seasoned.We stopped expecting to pay the market price but was surprised to find they have a Tues & Sat special. Which was a nice treat. Got 3lbs to go, but looking back I wish I'd gotten 5. They were sooo GOOD!!! Sausage and mushrooms were excellent as well.Gotta go back soon.Highly recommended“
“This place does it right!!! Great sizes and the seasoning is just amazing! They are always so friendly and serve you so quick. This is my absolute favorite crawfish takeout spot. Do not let the little building sway you away from stopping here! The Combo 3 pound crawfish 1 pound shrimp SMACKS!!!“
“My first visit was a hit! I wanted soul food without cooking it myself and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to try this place.I went on a Friday during lent season. I ordered the crawfish etoufee with fried catfish. It was to die for! I highly recommend this restaurant and I hope the service and delicious food stays a staple in Lafayette!“
“Always leery about trying little dives and this one is for sure! Shrimp, fish, and chicken were excellent! It's all takeout and if they are busy, which they were, expect about a 10 minute wait! The wait is worth it! Will stop by again if ever in the area again.“
“Great crawfish in a setting you can't forget. This is a funky dive when you look at it, but it's all about the food. And they excel at that. Huge crawfish, well spiced and hot out of the boil pot. Ordered the 1# of crayfish and a beer. With the bread pudding dessert shared with my wife, it was the right amount of food. Bread pudding was very good-dense with nice amount of sweetness. My wife had the shrimp salad which is grilled shrimp on lettuce. There was a good amount of shrimp and filled her up. Service was good from Megan and if ever back in Breaux Bridge will be back.“

“Scott with catering gets a 10/10. I got SOOO many compliments on the food from my wedding. He was always available when I called and called back promptly. The food was correct and my coordinator also said working with them was very easy and went well. Setup was beautiful and couldn’t have asked for better!“
“There is nothing about this place that I wouldn't give 5 stars. I came here with my family on Easter. I got the Cornell Sanders chicken sandwich and I was blown away. I don't remember what my family go but we were amazed by the quality and flavor of our meals. When my family tried the chicken on my sandwich, my grandfather got up and found our waitress to order one before they closed to take home to Lake Charles. We chatted with the staff and they were absolutely lovely. The service was unmatched and so welcoming. There weren't a lot of people when we got there but that's understandable considering it's Easter. So I can't speak on when it's busy but the atmosphere was so amazing. The music was classic. The part we sat in had windows and so much natural light. We got dessert and I can't understate how PHENOMENAL the creme brulee was. We had such an amazing visit and will definitely be coming here again!Thank you guys so much!!“
