“Everything about 121 is absolutely phenomenal from the staff to the atmosphere, the drinks, and most importantly the food! We had a large table of 19 (a wedding party) and our waitress, Kaylie (I believe) was an absolute gem! She was very attentive, kind, and professional. Another server, Tucker, also helped out a little when it got pretty busy. They were awesome. Thank you guys so much! It was a very pleasurable meal especially with you guys! 100/10 recommended.”

“Nicole was great! So attentive without being overwhelming and made some solid recommendations. Sea bass was fantastic. Would definitely come back the next time we are in Lake Charles!”
“This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Every time my fiancé and I have gone, the food has been incredible. It's all flavorful, well-cooked, the meat is tender and well-seasoned... I can't say enough good things about the food at Toga. And the service is top notch. Everyone there is so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Toga Grill!!”
“My wife and daughter and I went to Luna's yesterday, as my wife grew up in Lake Charles and said that Luna's was THE local hangout when she was growing up. With good reason, I found out. The restaurant was a delight. The food was amazing (I had a fantastic hamburger and a really good salad), and the atmosphere made me smile (all around us, throwback posters and paintings from 80s music and 90s movies). Plus the wait staff was very friendly. If you're looking for a good restaurant to do dinner with family and friends, this is the place to go.”

“My wife and I went this morning for our breakfast and saw the long line and said it’s gonna be good if the line is out the door. And boy was it. Don’t let the long line detour you. It went fast and the food was absolutely amazing and so was the staff. We will be back soon ! Worth the drive from Iota!”
“Wonderful dinner at Nawal tonight! I tried the Red Velvet Chicken… it was seasoned well, with notes of citrus (sumac) and a hint of the Chardonnay. My kid had the chicken shawarma, and it was a hit. Our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Highly recommend this place.”
“We decided to try MacFarlane’s. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night. The waitress the first night was helpful and friendly. The waiter the second night was also friendly and helpful. Food was outstanding beer selection was awesome. The night they had live music. I really enjoyed the lady that played. We can’t wait to go back again. Highly recommended this place.”

“It is always so unbearably cold in there. We bring sweaters etc, but last night I shivered through my meal being unable to enjoy it. And the waiter was rushing us through the meal. Arrived at 515p out by 540p. The food is always delicious but the atmosphere killed it. Very fast loud music, difficult to hold a conversation at the table.”
“Went to Olive Garden to have a nice meal and instead had a roach run across the table while we were eating.. My coworkers and I brought it to their attention and they offered us another seat. Not very customer friendly and did not comp us for the meal. Will never visit this restaurant again!”
“Randi, Jose, and Brandon were the most attentive and helpful tenders to us. We were celebrating our 14th wedded anniversary and first trip ever without kids. They made our time not only pleasurable but memorable. Prices were reasonable but service e was remarkable. Will definitely ”

“I ate at Calla Wednesday night and I have to say it was probably one of the best meals I've ever had at any restaurant in Lake Charles. I got one of the power bowls and I highly recommend it!”
“Dined at La Truffe Sauvage for an intimate date night and it exceeded all expectations. The ambiance was perfect—cozy, elegant, and perfect for a romantic evening. The food was exquisite, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, attentive yet unobtrusive, making us feel special throughout the evening. It was a truly unforgettable experience and the perfect spot for a special night out. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience. This is our go to date night spot!”

“Nice clean quick and cheap. I would recommend it!
Parking: Parking is like a regular gas station with additional parking on the side!
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly.”
“Michael, I think was his name.
(Kinda looked like Jesus) . I hope I’m not mistaken on his name, But he was a great guy. Called the orders very clear and made sure I felt like I belonged there. Very helpful and I left feeling a little better than when I got there. . It was late at night so I’m sure management will know who I’m talking about if I got his name wrong. But great service I received the other night! However, I would like to mention that his coworker. I never caught her name. She wore glasses and was brown skinned. But I can’t help but scratch my head at this lady. She was incredibly rude towards everyone. Yes, the customers and even her coworker. She was being rude toward the guy and he didn’t even do anything to this chick. She was just carrying herself as if she demanded bro to obey her attitude. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like that loses her job for the way she treats her coworkers. It was pretty rough. It was almost as if she was intentionally trying to overwhelm her coworker with the way she went about everything.”
“Good authentic Mexican food. I had a great customer experience and the food was amazing. I ordered two tacos with eggs and bacon but I came late around 9:30 so the food was getting cold and they were getting ready to put the food away for lunch so they guy took my order added a hot steak fajita in my bag bc he said what I originally ordered was the last of the morning round so he wanted to give me something fresh. It was so delicious! Only negative I have to say is I Wish they had longer hours.”
“Amazing friendly staff! Food was perfect, service was spectacular! Our server was phenomenal! We are looking forward to the next time we are in town!
We ate at this location two days in a row during our trip - Sunday and Monday late morning, I wish I remembered our servers name to give her a shout out because she made our experience there above and beyond!”
“This is probably the best Burger King in town. It has plenty of parking. And they have always been nice to me here. Rather a customer or delivery driver. Always friendly. And food is usually served in a very well timed manner. Quick bite for sure. Still has a playground which is quite rare for any fast food restaurants. Food seems fresh and ready every time. Atmosphere is a tad out dated. But it is what it is. Still very nostalgic. I eat here all the time and one of my preferred Doordash and UberEats pick up spots!”
“I've never got the hype about the burgers but I do enjoy their breakfast items. If only they could consistently get my order correct. I order on the app on a regular basis and at one time the manager got to know me-- because she remembers my order is often wrong. The crew will always make it right, but it's never ready at the time noted in the app.”
“Wonderful cajun breakfast. Pain Perdu and warm beignets. Would definitely eat here again. Service was great also.”

“My family and I were looking for a unique local restaurant to eat a late lunch. Based on the reviews, we decided that Buffi’s was the spot. We hit a home run! Great Food! Great Service! Buffi’s Special Peaux Boy was outstanding!!! Grilled Chicken Potateaux was awesome! BBQ Pulled Pork Potateaux was excellent! The BANANA PUDDING…… shut up!!! It was the best we ever had!!! Highly recommended!!!!”
“Best authentic Mexican food, hands down! We love the environment, the staff is AMAZING and always remembers us, the food is impeccable AND the restaurant is always clean. This is our favorite place to go, so if you want real Mexican food made by family, always choose El Tapatío!”
“Visited from Texas for a mini get away and fell in love with this spot! I got a Java the Hut latte and it took me by surprise. The cutie with the half white half black hair, mentioned that the owner’s favorite flavor was the one I ordered and I can see why! It was sooooo delicious I had to go back the next day for another one. I ordered one of the egg stacks which was awesome that they have keto/paleo options. It’s hard to come across places that offer a breakfast item that’s friendly to my dietary restrictions. I couldn’t help myself and also tried the BLT with brie and grapes, the next day and wow! I was happy to had use my cheat meal for that sandwich. They even spelled my name correctly which is uncommon. Very sweet owners and pleasant staff! Loved the trinket basket; leave one take one! Never seen that anywhere else either. Can’t forget to mention that it’s been over a month since I visited this place and the beautiful little spotted plant I bought has now grown 3 new leaves. It’s a spotted Begonia and pothos in one!”
“Yall really sleeping on mama Retas if you ain’t had it yet! It’s like getting Sunday dinner at mom or Mawmaws house but any day of the week. Everything’s delicious, hot, fresh, and ready fast. And fairly priced! I would’ve taken a picture but I couldn’t wait it was too good.”
“Ate the whole order and was pleased with the service. slow time of evening before closing. server was fairly new, but we worked through it all.”

“A friend and I came back to Crust today because we love the pizza. But today was extra special because the precious manager went above and beyond to provide excellent service. I made a mistake when I ordered the pizza… I made the mistake. When we realized our error, we tried to make the change, but it was too late. So the manager delivered the first pizza we ordered, and THEN proceeded to deliver a second pizza the way we intended to order it. Now that’s Service. Thank you Kalle!”

“We love Victoria’s and go there every time we are in Lake Charles. Never had this problem before but today music volume was turned up to the max. It was way too loud!! I had to stuff napkin in my ears or go eat in truck. I went for stuffing pieces of napkin. Why was music blasting??”

“I was looking for a place to get some crawfish during my visit home. This was the first time that I tried Heads or Tails. The place didn’t disappoint. The spicy crawfish were perfectly boiled. The prices were reasonable as well. I would definitely return on a future visit during the crawfish season.”

“We tried the wonton soup, spicy fried rice and the sweet chili noodles. Everything was amazing. I could drink the chili sauce it was so good. They also have a drive thru which is very convenient. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was clean and at that time not busy. We will definitely return and can't wait to try the kimchi fried rice!”
“Terrific food! Our first time visiting CSC. We ordered a Dixie Chick sandwich meal for my husband the onion lover and a Fancy Nancy for me. Wow! The first bite took my right back to my grandmothers house when I was a little girl in California, sitting on the front porch eating her chicken sandwich and drinking iced tea. My husband never said a word, he just ate in onion bliss. The cookie was a delight, a sweet end to a lovely meal. The staff is so friendly you feel welcome and the few moments we waited for our to-go order was spent in pleasant conversation. Apparently it was a big day for first timers. I suspect we will all be back.”
“AMAZING!!!!! first time here, definitely coming back! the second we walked trough the door, we were welcomed by not only the spectacular employees, but also by the immaculate smell of the fresh bread! shortly after placing our order, we began to DEVOUR our meal. it was truly one of the best meals i have ever inhaled (too good to chew). wish i had more room.”
“I recently helped plan a surprise birthday party in the private room upstairs. The owner and staff were SO ACCOMMODATING and really helped make this event a success. I’d highly recommend this location and urge those looking for an affordable, clean, trendy venue to check out their private party room. You won’t be disappointed.”
“From Houston out here for work , wanted some good crawfish and I couldn’t decide where to go so I gave them a shot and didn’t regret it , Crawfish was good had great flavor , shrimp was 10/10 easy peel and flavor full ! I asked for extra spice and mannnnne that set it off good !! 10/10 for us crawfish were pretty big ! Potato and corn were fire too ! Drive thru was fast and quick !! Spent about 45$ 3lbs crawfish , 1lb shrimp 4 extra potatoes 2 corns , and butter sauce !! More than enough for me and my wife !”
“I have visited the pioneer club 4 times in the last year. Each visit was different but all were memorable. Valentine’s Day had a special menu, the steak I had was perfect. We also went for bingo and a brunch both were served buffet style. Brunch was nothing short of amazing. The food was top tier. From little quiche to eggs Benedict. I did actually order off the menu the fourth visit and was not disappointed. I encourage anyone who is thinking about it to go ahead and give it a try. You won’t regret it”
“Drove up , placed my order of 5 pounds boiled crawfish with a half pound boiled shrimp it took less than 5 minute to get my order. Everything was seasoned just right! We loved it!!”

“Excellent food and service, even with a packed house! Kudos to the hardworking and helpful staff.”
“I have been on the hunt for a reliable Indian food restaurant out in our area for quite a while, while my fiancé can handle food with heat, I can’t! It was tricky to find a place that reliably could make tasty and mild dishes until we found Taj Mahal. We try to get dinner here once a week and it’s always fantastic- made just the way we order it heat wise, super tasty, very large portions and great service. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out! Check out the mild chicken korma if you want to venture into Indian food but are afraid of it being too spicy. Great place!!”

“Very chill bar to go with your significant other to conversate as it's not very noisy. The bartender, Jase, is very friendly and loves to recommend drinks he concocts himself. Very experienced mixologist. We stopped by here both nights we were there.”
“My son took me to Chart House for lunch today and it was delicious! The atmosphere and the service were great as well. I can’t wait to go back with my husband and try their evening menu!”
“Attended a wedding here this evening. Handicap parking right at the entrance. Wedding and reception on the 2 ND floor. Restrooms were clean. Sound system was clear. Food served was excellent. Shrimp in pasta, red potatoes, and green beans with sausage. DJ was an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Staff was efficient and friendly. They converted the wedding area to a reception area in 20 minutes. A well oiled machine. Great time for all.”
“I have been to many blue martinis around Florida & my FAV is the lamb chop lollipops... this version of Blue has changed the menu, which is more like bar food (pizza, burgers,nachos) not classy like seen at other locations and worse off the lamp chop lollipops are GONE!!!”
“Went with a group of friends for an early dinner. Service and food were great! Mrs. Callie stopped by our table to check in and was delightful. She even showed attention to our baby! We will definitely stop back in and hope to converate with her again!!”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“We started our Labor Day vacation with breakfast at Johnny Sanchez's in L’Auberge, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent, but what truly stood out was the service.
Trish provided phenomenal service—she was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to talk to. She made us feel welcome and really added to the experience.
Thanks again for a great start to our trip!

“Brought my dad, daughter, and grandmother here to eat. Grandmother never had an American waygu steak before, tried the featured bonein waygu strip and loved it. Couldn't stoped talking about the amazing flavor from the marbling of the steak. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience dining here on 6/3/23. The dozen oysters on the half shell were very tasty. My husband had the catfish and commented on how it was the best he has had in a very long time. I had the burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for accommodating all my food allergies. It’s difficult but you all really tried and I appreciate it very much. Finally, we had great service from Brook and enjoyed eating on the patio. Keep up the great work. Food service is a grueling job but you all did it so effortlessly!”
“The food was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing. The server and manager were very friendly and nice. I would recommend this place to eat. I plan on returning soon to eat.”
“We came here for a quick snack and drink while visiting the casino. Ethan was our server, and he ended up being one of the highlights of the evening. He was attentive and very friendly. Loved his vibe and presence. \n\nWe got the queso with spicy beef for the app and it was delicious. We also had the beef quesadillas, super fatty but still decent. We ordered 2 Perfect Patron margaritas, but they brought out a Patron flight. Its huge! 4 bottles on a very heavy metal stand and beautifully presented. We decided to keep the flight and it was the other highlight of the night. Each flavor was great, and we were so glad they slipped up because we would have never ordered this on our own. It was about the price of 4 drinks, and that was what we had planned for so no harm there.\n\nBrandi from management did come and acknowledge the mistake, and we appreciated that. \n\nFood 3\nDrinks 5\nEthan 5\n”

“5 stars all the way! I went in on a day when the restaurant was out of crabs, and I was initially disappointed. Still, I wanted to support the establishment, so I ordered a side of oxtails. Baby… those oxtails were so good I almost finished them in the car. They were perfectly tender, the sauce was incredible, and the flavor was spot on. I will definitely be back for the crabs.”
