10 Best Southern Restaurants in Lafayette

“We tried Social for the 1st time this week. Cannot say enough about how awesome this place was! The food was amazing! Our waitress Kate was truly the best! Huge shout out to Kate! She made the experience so much better by suggesting the best items on the menu for appetizers, entrees, and even desert. Can't wait to come back to Social southern table & bar!“

“The smother pork chops was good“

“First time customer today. Lifetime customer from now on. OUTSTANDING place! Some of the best food I’ve ever had! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“We reserved the peacock room for one of my best friend's bridal brunch. Everything was so good! Food was delicious. Bottomless mimosas were perfect. But the thing I really need to give kudos to is our absolute rockstar of a waiter, Joey. He was phenomenal. It was busy, he had other tables and we were seated UPSTAIRS- his only party upstairs mind you, but he was so attentive, friendly, kind, and never missed a beat, even in the most busiest of times, he made us feel like we were the most important group there. I’d be remiss if I didn’t give him a shoutout for making our large group feel so special. We truly appreciate it. 🙏🏼“

“Tried this spot for the first time and it was delicious and hot. Pasta was creamy just like I like it, potato salad was good too. Didn’t have to wait very long either, customer service was cool too, sometimes you try a food truck and the staff are rude but I did not get that experience here. She talked me through the menu and smiled while she talked to me. Will be back soon“

“I saw someone made a comment on Facebook about this place saying “The biscuits taste like God himself rolled the dough” so we decided to give this place a try and OMG I’m so glad we did. The food here was sooo good. When it hit the table I forgot to take a picture of our food 😂❤️ -100/10 recommend!“

“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!“

“This popular fast-casual staple serves up golden chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, and signature Cane's Sauce. Freshly battered chicken tenders, buttery grilled Texas toast, and creamy coleslaw headline a focused menu. Bright, energetic dining spaces, speedy drive-thru service, and sweet tea make for a fast bite.“

“Piccadilly in Lafayette, La always worth the stop. We ordered the baked fish, salad, turnip greens, garlic toast, carrots, soufflé, and an Italian cream cheesecake — and every single thing was cooked to absolute perfection. The flavors were spot‑on, the portions were generous, and the consistency is exactly why I keep coming back.

The customer service feels down‑home and genuine, the kind you don’t get everywhere anymore. My plate was fresh, hot, and prepared with care. Since we don’t have a Piccadilly in Houston, I make it a point to stop here whenever I’m traveling. The food is always delicious, and it’s officially part of my routine now“

“I love Cracker Barrel! Food is great and I love the clothing line they have! Service is excellent ! If you haven’t signed up for their rewards program you should definitely check it out!“
