“Food was well seasoned, hot ,freshly cooked, over all fantastic. Keep up the great job!!!“

“So good great rotisserie chicken, burgers, grits, fries, and shrimp. Every thing is so good!!!“

“Best Tasting crawfish in town!!! If you haven't been you are surely missing out!!!!“

“Had the BEST experience using Crawfish Jake for our client appreciation event! Communication was prompt and professional leading up to the event. The staff that serviced our event was polite and accommodating considering the weather wasn’t on our side for part of it. They had backup plans for us if the weather didn’t work out. I didn’t have to worry about anything day of. They brought iced down drinks, boiled and plated crawfish and sides and had premade dip ready to go. They handled all trash and cleanup. I could seriously go on and on. Jake even checked in during the event to check on everything. And lastly, the crawfish were AMAZING! All of our clients raved about the perfect seasoning level, the crawfish were large and easy to peel and the staff made sure everyone was enjoying them and offered to make accommodations if necessary. 10/10 would recommend and will use again!“

“No doubt, these are the best carne asada tacos in town. The meat is grilled perfectly, and the tortillas are soft but sturdy. You can really taste the quality ingredients.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Beautiful restaurant , fantastic food, excellent service, delicious Martinis.“

“During a recent visit to The Lunch Box, a quaint diner known for its Louisiana dinner with creole dishes, my husband and I had an enjoyable experience overall. The Lunch Box has a unique and nostalgic ambiance, adorned with various lunchboxes that instantly took me back to my childhood. It seems to be a popular spot, especially among locals and older patrons looking for a quick and affordable lunch.

I opted for the shrimp po' boy, which was decent and flavorful. I'd rate it a 3.75 out of 5. My husband tried the fried pork chop special. Although it had good flavor, the pork was a bit dry, so we would rate it a 3.25 out of 5.

The standout feature of our visit was undoubtedly the friendly and welcoming staff. They were attentive and added a pleasant touch to our dining experience. While the food had its ups and downs, the overall atmosphere and service made it a worthwhile visit.

If you're in the mood for some creole dishes and a trip down memory lane with its unique decor, The Lunch Box is worth checking out.“

“If you are in the mood for crawfish and are around Lafayette.. please do yourself a favor and try The Crawfish Pot. Both the crawfish and the shrimp are perfectly seasoned to your need with a delicious garlic flavor like no other! I give this joint a 5 star for service and product all day!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best seafood in town! Big portions & so inexpensive compares to Lake Charles prices! A whole in the wall place with personal touch! It's a family own restaurant and they always treat me nice. Very respectful. They take great care of me every time. Try this place, you won't regret it! ?“

“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.“

“I came here for a late lunch. I was very satisfied with the fast service. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and it had a nice crunch. The only thing I recommend is maybe if they had more condiments, such as seasoning for fries and ranch for the chicken. However, my overall service was great.“

“Food is amazing! Definitely a good Cajun experience!“

“Kevin was an amazing waiter; however, the lobster bisque didn't not have a lobster taste and it was sweet and the lobster tail was too salty and I could even taste sweet. Whatever broth they cook it in, it's not good. I can't recommend either.“

“Amazing food!! Customer service is top tier! Jacked up snapper was delish, definitely recommend the Asian Brussel sprouts and Garlic Mash-potatoes with it!!!!“

“Super friendly service, and best burger I've tasted in a long time. Will definitely be back to try more of their amazing 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.“

“The crawfish were so good!! We got spicy and regular. Spicy was spicy but not too spicy and regular was just right and not bland at all. Juicy, juicy!!! Went there on a limb & never heard of the place before and I do not regret it. 10/10 recommended! ?????“

“wish I could give higher than 5 star. food is amazing“

“We went for our Anniversary on March 20th 2024. It was out first time. We both enjoyed everything. It was very romantic. Jessie was our waitress who made us feel right at home. Even brought us some chocolate cheese cake for out anniversary. It was good. I would def recommend and go back..“

“Food & staff both amazing every time I’ve dined in or picked up!!“

“Picked up a dash order for myself and headed home. Then, realized I didn't receive the extra fried shrimp that I had ordered. Bummer, but an honest mistake! For as consistently good (and affordable) as their food is, they deserve some leniency. Oh, and you should get you some egg rolls, too! ?

Parking: Don't count on getting out of your car, just get it to go in the drive thru. ...Honestly, I'm not even sure if there is a dining room. ?“

“Ordered the shrimp potato from DoorDash. I ordered jalapeños on the side. It was hot and fresh when it was delivered. Potato was huge! So good. Can’t wait to have it again.“

“Zack was the best server we have had by far dining out! Our 3 boys loved everything they tried! We loved everything also! The chicken hibachi was so good! Will be back! Ask for Zack for a perfect experience!“

“I had the Cajun pasta a few times and OMG !! The best I’ve ever had !!“

“I had a Shredded beef and beans hot plate, phillie cheese steak empanadas, and xxx hot shrimp. All three were amazing. when I ate it I almost cried I was so thankful. It was extremely unexpected after comming in here on a whim when all the Pho shops are closed. Get that Shredded beef and bean hot plate!! I'll est here every time I'm in lafayette for work now.“

“Boiled shrimp are excellent .. and get this .. sold without the heads (extra weight) .. perfectly boiled, right amount of seasoning, not a long wait, actually very satisfied even would go as far as to say .. pleased .. !!

Parking: The parking lot leaves a lot to be desired .. and I mean A LOT .. cement getting in and out of parking lot on both entrances/exists are broken up and washed out due to water erosion and omg the entire parking lot is one big pot hole .. can't tell if the business was built around the pot hole or if the pot hole was built around the business .. kinda like a molt (look it up .. molt)“

“Outstanding seafood restaurant in Lafayette South. Sitting at the bar was excellent - great service, good conversation, super fresh food. I highly recommend charbroiled Argentinian shrimp as appetizer. My blackened fish with crab and shrimp topper was phenomenal, almost a scampi with the amount of butter served. Great prices on nightly drink specials. Oysters are always a must. Good restaurant gumbo. Can't go wrong, although the side of grits were a throwaway after feasting on all the rest.“

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

“I like to go with friends to this place with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are tasty and the stuff is efficient and cooperative. Every time we go to this place we enjoy a lovely evening. highly recommended.“

“The food and service was awesome. Had 4 carnitas tacos, took me back home for a little bit. Can't wait to taste their Barbacoa . Going back real soon.“
