“We went in Saturday without a reservation and lucked out with the last table available. I love the atmosphere. I appreciate the good wine choices and had a great glass of Malbec. Our entrees were excellent. We had pizza and the special of the night. Service was excellent and we will certainly be back!
Reminder all bread is made in-house and to die for!
Vegetarian options: I am not a Vegetarian but try to have two - three plus days of only veggies per week. There are plenty of pasta and vegi options or pizza or calzones and ingredients are of high quality!”

“A perfect fusion of American classics and Louisiana dishes cooked over open wood-fueled flame , served up in a comfortable and modern concept. Came on recommendation from two different locals who said this was the best restaurant in Lafayette. We were not disappointed. Reservations were needed, but the hostess was able to accommodate us by the kitchen. It worked out GREAT. Was able to see the chef, Sullivan, and his crew perform their magic on each of the dishes. Every member of the staff was very friendly - from the hostess, servers, chef, our waiter Zach, and the general manager Aaron. Just get two orders of the Roasted Oysters to start. Trust me on this one. Even the Mac and Cheese was delicious! The creme brulee was delectably perfect. Get it! If cocktails are your jam, you won't be disappointed with the selection. My only gripe was that it was very loud on a Saturday at 7 PM. Felt like it was a night club. Made conversation challenging at times. If you need to change diapers, the unisex bathrooms will have accommodations for your baby. A thoughtful touch. Will definitely return if I ever come back to Lafayette.”

“Loved it!!!! I haven’t had real seafood in a hot minute. I knew it would be good when I pulled up to the building. I smelled the spice as soon as I walked in, I ordered crawfish, snow crab legs and blue crabs. We went with the mild seasoning (I smelled the spice and my baby is NY born soooo…) anyway… the taste was amazing, very flavorful and not too spicy… Spiced enough to have your nose running but not overbearing. It was cooked to order, still hot after 30mins plus and the lady brought the pans to us (which she didn’t have to do, but I thought when she said 20mins that I’d give them 30mins before going in). Great meal!!! Would definitely go again!!! Just in town for the football tournament but I’d take another weekend drive to get some more.”

“If you haven’t gone here and you live in Lafayette, you’re missing out. This place is a gem, and if there were more stores like it that cared so much about quality products and food for their customers, the world would be a better and healthier place. I went today to get some supplements, groceries and a hot breakfast, and Brian, the manager, walked me to my car with an umbrella because it’s pouring. When I go in, they greet me by name. And they beat prices of other organic foods and supplements elsewhere. Can’t ask for anything more. Thank you all who work there and keep up the good work!”

“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.”

I had the Enchilada Mixta con Cecina and my wife had the Birria Tacos. Amazing food! I have a hard time describing how delicious our meals were. But, we're definitely going back! The owner was so friendly, checking on us making sure we were enjoying our food. Our server was very helpful picking out our food since it was our first visit. This is definitely a hidden gem with authentic, fresh Mexican food.”

“Consistently good crawfish, shrimp, potatoes and corn. We've been ordering for 8 or 9 years and keep coming back. Sure, you get the occasional bad potato or crawfish but those are the exceptions. We usually get the 6lb combo once a week during the season. No other restaurant can come close to getting that amount of business from us. And the claws on their crawfish....easiest peeling I've ever had.”
Deli • $$
“My Selfish side says dont leave an excellent review because they will keep getting more and more buisness and then my deer and hogs will have to wait in a longer line.
I have had several deer processed here as well as some hogs.
Have recommended them to friends and everyone has always said the processing, service and custom orders of hamburger patties, Deer Poppers, Deer Burritos and sausages are just great. I even had one whole hog processed into Smoked Pepperjack Cheese Sausage. Just cant get enough of it and everyone who tries it loves it. Great place for Game processing and also to buy Pulled Pork. Love this place.”

“Hands down the best crawfish I’ve ever had. I got the spicy & they were on point! They were huge & not one bad crawfish in my plate. We got shrimp to take home & even they were phenomenal!!”
Tapas Bar • $$$
“Servers were perfect. You can tell they aren’t trained though and have to do what they only know on the spot. Food tasted like a hungry man meal. (STRAIGHT OUT OF A MICROWAVE) . Watched the owner give out shots while saying “if you are having a good time leave a review right now” so watch out for the bribery. I give 2 stars for the effort of the servers . 1 star for the owner.”
Hamburger • $$
“I got the 3.99 online deal for a regular cheeseburger. I got one with regular dressings and the other with the bdb sauce. The food was good but nothin super special (maybe it's in the sauce/specialty toppings). It was a nice treat for 3.99 though. The people at Dickey's were so kind and polite! Thanks yall!”
Chicken Wings • $$
“Great place for family or friends, good atmosphere and excellent service, the food is not bad, you just have to ask for the well-fried wings because they give them to you from time to time raw and it is very unpleasant”

“We had a very large party (22) and the service was top tier. Our food came out perfect and was so delicious. They were fast and efficient. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is so friendly and very helpful. Some of the favorites everyone ordered were the Redrock Grilled Shrimp, the Cowboy pork chops, Parmesan crusted chicken and any of the steaks. Thank you so much Longhorn for providing an excellent dining experience. If you’re in Lafayette stop by to see them.”

“Our family recently celebrated our Dad’s 90th birthday. The cake chosen from Sky’s The Limit was a running shoe on top of a shoe box. The running shoe was Rice Krispie treats and the box was the most scrumptious strawberry Bavarian cream. The cake was as marvelous as it looked. Kudos Sky !”

“Ordered a large fried shrimp combo in the drive thru, received the order and noticed how heavy it was and pulled into a shaded area at Sam's. Opened up the container and counted 14 good sized butterflied shrimp with tarter sauce, salad and a good portion of fried rice. To me, well worth $13.”

“We walked in without a reservation, so we were seated at the bar. It turned out to be great because they had a phenomenal singer named Layla Laverne who sang everything under the sun and was amazing at every song she belted out! Aubree was the bartender and while she was busy, she still found time to come chat and show us hodpitality. Food was amazing as well as the atmosphere!”

“Came in ~45 minutes before closing time, asked if I could still get to-go. They said yes and prepared the food within 10~15 minutes. First time going here and wasn't disappointed, loved every bit of the steak quesadilla, and nachos.”
“First timer and wow was I impressed!! Lightning speed service by Nelson, our server, followed by a literal smorgasbord of meats, seafood, and veggies. Tom yum is the go to broth! Such a fun exciting experience, can’t wait to come back after I run 10 miles.”
