Cajun Restaurants in Lafayette, LA

“Service was great and food was amazing.“

“Our server Amariah J was awesome. She was very friendly and made our dining experience great. R. Pitre“

“Great food every time I have been. Always fast out and fresh.“

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

“It was delicious, but after eating half I started wishing that there wasn't so much cheese so I couldn't finish the grits but ate the shrimp. Everything else on the other dish was superb. Nice spot overall. Got some crackling for starters that was different but unique.“

“Small place in a strip mall. Independently owned with huge portions and delicious food. My mom and I shared a shrimp po' boy and Muffalatta baskets. Both were good. Ask if you can get a little extra olive relish if you want to only taste it. I thought it was perfect but my mom thought she'd have liked a bit more of the relish. My husband got a large catfish platter and was almost embarrassed about how many pieces he got. Sharing it for 2 people would still leave 3 or 4 pieces each. My dad got the fried pork chop and he loved it. He doesn’t have much appetite and we have to push him to eat. But he ate a whole huge pork chop and has one for tonight, too. He didn't need any encouragement to eat it. It was really good.

Enjoyed talking to the owner and ger husband is the cook. It was one of those small places that people discover great food. Zero ambiance, but who needs that when your meal is simply prepared and fills you with good flavors?“

“Dined in today for the first time I got the Tony’s Special. It was absolutely delicious. I am full, very satisfied and happy. I highly recommend you trying this restaurant. I’m so excited about the low carb, paleo and keto dishes he offers. Everyone was so nice and friendly and that made our experience even better. We will definitely come back,“

“This place genuinely exceeded my expectations in every aspect!! I still can’t stop thinking about it! I found out about them through the Foodies of Lafayette page and people did not lie. We tried the Pork Belly Bahn Mi (which alone is such a fun, creative menu item for a place like this) and 3 portion BBQ plate. NOTHING disappointed, good LAWD. I also honestly feel like the BBQ plate is extremely fairly priced for how much high quality food you get. We tried the prime brisket, pork, and st.Louis ribs and everything was incredible. Also some of THE best corn maque choux I’ve ever had as a side. The pork belly bahn mi was also obviously as good as the pictures looked. Aside from the food, the atmosphere is incredibly stylish and comfortable, with a modern vintage look, nice spacious seating, and incredible bathrooms. The customer service was top notch too! Everyone was incredibly helpful and seemed so passionate and hard working, always staying attentive and busy. I genuinely feel so lucky to have experienced something so refreshing in so long, it’s been so rare to find a gem like this!“

“loved the oysters and the service. Ask for Francè!!! Will be back again“

“I been using Dwight’s for years on the catering side. My party guest are always pleased, just as much as I am.“

“I ventured to Lafayette to attend Festival International. Since I had the morning and most of the afternoon free the day after my arrival I decided to head to Vermillionville to explore the historic village and have lunch at La Cuisine de Maman. What a great decision!! The food at the restaurant was delicious. I had the plate lunch with a cup of seafood gumbo to start. Everything was really good. The plate lunch that day was crawfish etouffee over rice, smothered green beans, fried shrimp with tartar sauce, and a big biscuit. Portions were very generous; I thought that some of the food might overflow onto the table.😊 I didn't have room for dessert; although I've since been told by lots of people that I should have taken it with me. After eating, I explored the village. What an amazing blend of history and culture it is! I can't wait to return.“

“Awesome food, awesome atmosphere, but better people! It has stood the test of time for a reason! Go check it out you won’t regret it!“

“good food, great service.“

“JJ’s Boil Shack cooked the very best crawfish I have ever eaten..“

“the food we had on buffet tonight was excellent, and our waiter Mark was top notch. this is definitely our new go to spot. thanks for great service n a fantastic dinner date for my boyfriend and myself. 💯“

“Lack luster gumbo: Arrived just after opening, ordered chicken and sausage gumbo with extra rice. Gumbo arrived and was luke warm. Had a overpowering taste of roux which really made the meal unworthwhile. I've eaten at Chris's a number of times before and not had this issue so there is the unknown of why it was soo bad this time. I will think twice before visiting again.“

“Love the blueberry biscuits.“

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

“Had the stuffed bread, seafood eggrolls, fried pork chop and a cheeseburger that taste like no other I've ever had. Friendly people, professional atmosphere!“

“I stopped in and tried out the boudin! It was Phenomenal!!! Can't wait to dig into our plate lunches! Customer service was really good also!“

“Hands down the best oysters ever. We drove 5 1/2 hrs just to get the jacked up charbroiled oysters . Definitely worth the drive. Thanks for wowing our mouths ❤️❤️and Allen our waiter rocked. Very friendly and fast service .,,“

“Southwest salad with shrimp was amazing!“

“The smother pork chops was good“

“One of the first places I stop every time I go to Lafayette! HUGE portions, DELICIOUS, creative menu and amazing staff!!!! Please open a location in Mandeville🤗🙏😉“

“Welsh Roanoke Jr High made THE best out of a rainy day there! Thanks to your amazing team we made ponchos with trash bags and made the best memories! Also my husband Scott got to share a tune for the kids!“

“Finally decided to try Julian's Poboys...one word, amazing! I had the shrimp poboy and it was delicious. The bread was the best and the shrimp were fresh and fried to perfection. We also tried the Wild Turkey poboy, also delicious. Don't forget the onion strings. The best poboys we've had in Lafayette to date. The staff were great also.“
