“Good evening with friends. Everyone was happy with their meal. Social also has some good cocktail/bar special specials during happy hour. However, “craft cocktails” were very overpriced & nothing special. Good service & a nice evening all around.“

“WOW!!! Is the only word to describe the food! By far the best plate lunch I've ever had, and I've had a lot. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. You owe it to yourself to give JB's a try. I give it 5 stars cause 10 ain't an option!“

“Looking for a 'Sports Bar' this popped up. Third on our list, but the first two were busts, so we slide on by.
Definitely NOT what I'd call a sports bar. We have time, order Sazeracs, try the Happy Hour Gumbo, later have their generous $5 House Old Fashioneds.

Everything was good, but the Gumbo was heavenly. Worth the trip just for that. Dark brown flavor filled broth, nicely shredded duck & slices of andouille. Perfection.
Had to move on for Seahawks, though.“

“Went for our lunch today while out in town and was very disappointed. We really wanted some good charbroiled oysters and got garbage instead. Our oysters were served to us luke warm and didn't look or taste "charbroiled" at all. The stuffing that came on top of mine was cold in the middle and the sauce that came with it on the side was cold as well. Ive never in my life been served cold cooked oysters! Absolutely disgusting. Won't be back. Years ago when I came everything was good but now its a big no for me. Disappointed amd dissatisfied after this lunch. O and let me not forget to mention our waitress was very unattentive and never came check on us after we received our food. So that made the experience suck too!“

“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!“

“Warm, friendly staff. Delicious food. Only complaint is that there was no sweet potato pie and the red velvet cake was dry. They had a few items that were low, but they were working to replenish. This could be due to the after church crowd.“
