10 Best Bar & Grill in Lafayette

“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!“

“Im giving this place 5 stars on the frozen margaritas alone.(.its not top shelf ...but for what it is...its in the upper tier for these types of places as far as frozen drinks go)I bought a gallon for myself my significant other to share....it cost 35 dollars....and they gave us two normal sized Styrofoam cups. The mix tasted really good and the tequila was quality...we didn't need extra shots at all....infact it, about two and a half cups she was giving all manner of indignant speeches against various injustices. I don't drink alot but the mix tastes pretty good and with it being so hot, before I knew it, I was a little indignant myself! ??For an early friday night, it did not look very busy. Two 30 something guys were having a drink on the back porch but that was about it...seemed like a chill place....I imagine they sell alot of drive thru frozen drinks...and Thats fine because they are good at making them. Not a huge amount of lighting in the parking lot...had to really look for it at night, having never been there...but it looks like a great friendly place for good natured every day people to have a drink. Person at the window was friendly.Definitely will order again when we come back to Lafayette..“

“I would definitely come in on Sundays, it’s game night and dacotah always works, she is so kind and professional, she always recommends the most delicious drinks when I don’t know what to drink, and is constantly keeping everything clean. I love coming here and feeling the friendly and welcoming atmosphere!“

“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 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.“

“🍽️ Cajun Shrimp & Grits Lightly Doused in BBQ Sauce Topped with Pepper Jack Cheese Scrambled Eggs + 🍹 Sunrise Mocktail was PERFECT last meal in Lafayette, Louisiana for a while! I was very hungry & STILL was too full to eat EVERY BITE! Very Delicious!“

“I know this place very well! My girlfriend's Landlord, Mr John owns this bar and it's certainly a staple in Lafayette. Great live music on the weekends and a cool kind of local new Orleans vibe to the bar during the week days. Must check it out! Hope to see ya there!

Parking: There's parking in front of the bar and across the street there's an entire parking lot that also belongs to Gloria's.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there's a nice new ramp“

“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!“

“Super chill spot. Great atmosphere. Diverse tunes blasting to set the vibe. And the service was AMAZING. OHHHHH....can't forget the drinks!!! Shot out to Dakota!!!! (Side note: didn't eat, but the food looked, and smelled sooooooo good!!!“
