ZERO STARS! New owner/partner has changed what used to be a great place to eat in Broussard. Great atmosphere and wonderful service.
It’s the menu changes that are destroying it!
My family used to eat here almost twice a week. The catfish are not filets anymore!! They are catfish strips that aren’t even as wide as two fingers. And actual catfish in it, nope! It’s mostly over fried batter! Nasty! The Spicy shrimp wrap used to actually be spicy! It’s got no spice now and so much pepper jelly it makes the wrap soggy and falls apart. The onion wrings are an over fried ring toss sized embarrassment! I’m just so disappointed because I live so close and loved this place! Don’t bother reaching out to them through their website, I did and no response! I don’t like putting this on Google and saying all this, but whoever is in charge, you have forced me!
That catfish is an embarrassment to Acadiana food!

Food is almost always a 10/10 for the taste buds. I highly recommend the BBQ pulled pork Nachos! My go to burger is usually the one with pepper jelly and cream cheese with sweet potato fries.
Service is usually good, but sometimes can be inattentive, especially early lunch, I feel like they check on you less when it's not busy. (Been a while since I have gone though, so take that with a grain of salt)
Atmosphere is eh, I feel like this location is quite small and can feel very over crowded when it's busy. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare at those peak times as well.
Staff was very inviting and friendly, super attentive, and order came out super fast! Not to mention, food was absolutely fantastic!

I’ve eaten here plenty of times when I come to town but after the experience me and my family had yesterday I can definitely say we won’t be back. When we first got there there were a few tables so we thought okay they are busy. Our server came and got our drinks and disappeared for a little while. She eventually came back and asked if we wanted appetizers. Appetizers came out cold. We ate them and didn’t complain, we just ate them because we were hungry. We were completely done eating appetizers for a while before our server finally came back and asked us what we wanted for our meals. Server never refilled our drinks until we brought our cups to her. We were the ONLY table in there at this point. Our food was taking extremely long, like way longer than it should have. I got my brother to go ask for them just to cancel our order so we could go somewhere else. All of a sudden our food was “ready” and about to come out. My brother said he saw all of the employees either talking or playing on their phones. She asked if we wanted it to go or if we would eat there. Ultimately we decided just to stay and eat because at this point we were all super hungry. Worst decision ever. Our food was definitely sitting under the heat lamp for a long time. I have worked in a restaurant and I know you can definitely tell when it’s been sitting under the lamp. Our food wasn’t even hot it was like warm. And the fries were cold. We all hardly ate our food. I took one bite out of my burger, and the bread was so hard from sitting under the heat lamp. A completely different server came out brought us our checks. Overall was the worst experience I have ever had.

Nice little bar with a decent menu. Had the Pat’s punch which was a nice mix of fruit flavors, but very little booze
Service was really kind, but it took our group almost 90 min to get any food from the time we sat down.
Food was ok at best. shrimp Po boy was light on the shrimp and they forgot the sauce. Very salty but good flavor. Salads and burgers looked nice but I didn’t try. Bonless wings also looked good with a decent variety of sauces

Normally get pretty good service at this location. But on 7/3/24 between 6pm and as of 6:23pm the bartender working on the patio side is terrible. Not paying attention to customers on her phone. Eating at the register. Not asking if I need another drink. Just ignoring us and others, basically. I even asked for another drink. Never got it. How can you be a bartender and not pay attention to your customers. Terrible. Maybe why I do not ever see many patrons at this location. Who knows? I am so agrivated I would have waited to get the ticket to get her name but I am sure you can look at the cameras to view what she is doing. Absolutely nothing. Ridiculous. Hopefully you're will actually review the video and address this associate of yours.
Came in on a Friday night and it was pretty quiet all evening. We stayed for an NBA playoff game so we were there for a while. The waitress was very kind and attentive. We ordered burgers and eventually got dessert too but the dessert we ordered never thawed they said so they comped it on the bill and gave it to us to take home. Such kind customer service. I would recommend Fat Pats as a good sports bar to eat and hang out to watch a game

First time visit and last. Server was mediocre and my wife had chicken stripes that was so tough ? you had to cut with knife in small pieces. I had fried shrimp dinner that after removing the heavy crust thr shrimp was small and wasn't fresh. Spit out one that tasted spoiled. The beer happy hour was a joke for the price paid for two small beers.

I literally come to this location twice a week, but today having hair in not only one meal, but being given a second chance and to have hair in the next is absolutely horrifying and tacky. Why would I in my right mind, feel confident enough to eat anything else from out the kitchen, with them admitting they do not wear hair nets. I am completely appalled by this location. Three hairs in one sitting, bravo. And 60 dollars later very unpleased.
