“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.“

“Had Sunday brunch and celebrated my birthday with 4 of my favorite girls. We ordered the B.E.E. (A great go to for simple and reasonably priced). The pancake is huge, (covers the entire dinner plate). The sweet potato biscuits were really good, with the butter and pepper jelly. We also had the steak and eggs. The hash browns and fried green tomatoes were delicious. Our server, Hanny, was great. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best experience and definitely acknowledged my special day!“

There are pool tables but no one was there using them when we were there. That drive through sure was busy though! Oh, and don't mess with the raccoons living out of the dumpster out back---they are favored regulars!“

“I rented out the large uncovered patio area on Saturday for my husband’s fortieth birthday! We had the BEST time! Sara was SO helpful with helping me decide which area was best for us to rent. She was honest & realistic, which made the decisions easy for me! We had approximately 40-45 people and there was so much extra room! We rented from 5-9 and it was perfect, there was lots of parking when we arrived. The place was crowded but not overly/ towards 9 o’clock it got very crowded but SUCH a fun vibe! Even with the crowd the bartenders were quick with drinks and the kitchen was quick with food! Overall… 10/10 recommend. 😉 we will be back!!!!“

“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.“

“I think I found a hidden gem in Lafayette. My dear friend wanted to bring me out to celebrate my birthday. We drove from Alexandria la to Lafayette today. We walked in, and a server said we could find an empty seat. We were greeted by our server and ordered drinks and appetizers. My drinks were a coke and an espresso martini. My espresso was made to perfection. Our appetizers were the BBQ BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP..... Bacon wrapped shrimp in a savory NOLA style butter BBQ sauce which was delicious. We also ordered the BRISKET FRIES. Smoked brisket, pepperjack, cheddar, Cajun BBQ, chipotle aioli, and green onion. I swear those cheese fries were the best cheese fries I've ever eaten in my entire natural born life. Wow wow wow. I sat in shock about how good they were. We ordered our entrees I ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST...... Chargrilled chicken breast,', with grilled veggie medley and roasted fingerling potatoes. It was so delicious. My friend ordered the REDFISH VERMILION.
Grilled redfish topped with crawfish etoufee, served with chargrilled asparagus. I tasted some of her dish. It was yummy as well. Our server was nice and kind and treated us well as he maintained the bar. The atmosphere was laid back and it seemed everyone enjoyed being there. It was our first time and we definitely will be back.“
