“We recently went to Area337 for the first time for my husband’s birthday dinner. The atmosphere was very nice, we enjoyed the music, the food was incredible, and dessert was amazing. We will definitely be back again!!”
“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.”

“I AM BLOWN AWAY. THIS PLACE HAS EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE, BEAUTIFUL atmosphere. Feels like we were back in a Yosemite lodge. Woodsey chic. Pricey, yes, but worth it. A huge advantage over Ruth's chris in Lafayette by a long shot. Our server, a man from Jennings, amazing service.
The old fashioned was perfect and i asked for margino cherries and he added them 😀
THE CRAB CAKE, LAMB LOLLYPOPS, CHOCOLATE molten cake, foigras was top notch! The bread basket and butter, unreal. (I am not a huge foodie or an obese piggy, no offense, just can't fimd anything but over seasoned cajun food in lafayette)
Big, beautiful fireplace . We decided that we would make the drive just for dinner from Breaux Bridge! When living in so California wed drive to Los Angeles for a good meal frim the valley..so 1.5 hr drive for goos food like this, definitely...”

“Little place, good chicken, watch the heat…
Teenagers got medium, and that was perfect, I thought I’ll step up to Xtra Hot, (not even the top), and I chose wrong. Dear Lloyd… why? Why they sell that??
But yeah give it a try! I will be back, will stay medium or lower… ?”
“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.”
“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!”

“Spent Super Bowl weekend in Lake Charles and ate here two days in a row! Service and food were fantastic! Shout to Classy! Staff raved about what a great manager he was and he was absolutely gracious and welcoming. Will definitely go back every single time we’re in Lake Charles!”
“I am so sorry people but I can sit there and tell you that this place for Mexican food is the Bomb. It's not spicy it's not too salty it is just good I love this place especially the mixture of the veggies with the meat together it's just awesome”

“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.”
“Outstanding food and service! I highly recommend the beef shish kabobs! His lemon drop martini was really yummy too🍸”
“The service is fast and friendly. We make sure to stop in for lunch or dinner every time we are in Lake Charles which is about twice a month lol. We went this past tuesday for dinner and were waited on by a young lady named Mia. She was by far one of the best waitresses we've ever had wait on us anywhere. She was quick to take our order and bring it out and was so sweet and friendly. Be back in two weeks to see you all.”

“Great burgers. Having said that, I do not like mustard. If you just order a regular whataburger it is presented as what I call a mustard burger, completely covered in the revolting substance. If you're like me always remember to sub for ketchup, mayo or whatever your preference. Delicious well cooked beef and fresh veggies. One of the best burgers in town.”
“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!”
“Tonight we went for our anniversary and the food, service, and experience was top notch. We always have a good experience at Bodega. Our server, Cory, and the manager Joanne were wonderful. Highly recommend!”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars — Worth Every Mile to Lulu’s Snocones in Lake Charles, LA I drove 750 miles from Tennessee just to try Lulu’s snocones in Lake Charles, Louisiana — and let me tell you, they were 100% worth the trip. If you're in Lake Charles and looking for the ultimate summer treat, Lulu’s is the spot! We tried their Strawberry Jubilee and Banana Pudding Shake snocones, and both were absolutely fantastic. The Strawberry Jubilee is everything you want in a fruity snocone — bold strawberry flavor, just the right hint of tartness, and a creamy icecream center that makes it feel like a frozen strawberry dream. Light, refreshing, and totally addictive. Then there’s the Banana Pudding Shake Snocone — pure nostalgia! It tastes just like real banana pudding, with creamy vanilla, ripe banana, and a soft Nilla wafer vibe, all served icy cold. It’s rich, smooth, and seriously delicious. Both are creative, flavorful, and made with care. The texture of the ice is perfect, the syrups are top-notch, and the flavor combinations are spot-on. Pair that with friendly service and a fun local vibe, and you’ve got a 5-star experience. We love some Lulu's Specialty Snocones and More !! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.

“Everything I have had at Prime hasn’t disappointed. Mr. Dan, Heather and all of the other people who work there are always friendly. I can’t wait for Thursday either. If you haven’t had their Thursday lunch special of beef tips and rice you should. It’s amazing. The Thursday dinner special is equally good you pick your steak from the cooler. You only pay for the price of the steak. Vegetables and a loaded potato or included as well.”
“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??”
“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.”
“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 originally reviewed 6 years ago & I continue to enjoy all I order from Great Harvest. Typically, I go for breakfast sandwich- egg, bacon, Havarti cheese, Avocado & herb spread. It is consistently delish. Also, their cherry almond shortbread cookies are scrumptious. You can taste the almond, combined with slight tartness of cherries. These cookies are not too sweet - a true shortbread. However, they are expensive.
Everything I have had from Great Harvest Bread is delicious - from savory to sweet, ordered sandwiches to take-home bread, muffins, etc. Very friendly, helpful staff.”
“I rarely go out to eat but I caved this evening and was happy that I did. The staff was attentive, polite, helpful and friendly. The salad and soup were delicious and the price was great, unlike all other goods and services which have jumped exponentially in costs. I recommend you give them a try. Soon!”
“Insanely Awesome Halloween Party last Night! The amount of people there was astounding! Everyone that worked there had very Cool and Sexy Costumes!
As always My CaddyShack Pizza was Perfect! The Cook Hunter is A legend! I don’t think he’s been there to long but every time he works my pizza is so good! I keep coming back for that Pizza! He makes some insanely good cheese bread to! Great personality always, he came to check and see how the food was and cracks some jokes. He Even plays a game of pool with ya if you want!”

“Knocked it out of the park again with a great meal and service”
“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!”
“Luxe lives up too the name! From the way you feel as you enter the front door…to the initial contact…to the careful attention to my wants and needs…to the attention to detail…to the presentation…to the first bite…to the follow through…TACO TUESDAY IS A MUST AT LUXE 🧤⭐️’zzz”

“Food was fantastic! My sons been wanting to try the ox tail and y’all knocked it out of the park!!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Food was absolutely delicious! Fresh and made perfectly. Fantastic service, the cook was great, expertly made and seasoned. Our server Tet, was exceptional. She was fast, friendly and very engaging, excellent server that anticipated everything we needed. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Went here cause nothing else was open yet and I was craving a fajita plate. The staff was super nice and welcoming and there was no wait considering it was 3pm on a Wednesday. The food was alright the cheese on the nachos was amazing however I should’ve asked for more queso and pico. My fajita plate was a little disappointing because it was just a small steak on top of sizzling onions and a jalapeno. It wasn’t seasoned or anything like an actual fajita plate so it let me down but the Mexican rice was really good so it was able to cover the straight meaty flavor from the fajita. My mom got the crawfish enchilada and was blown away by it and 100% recommends it. To end it all off we had gotten the tres leches for desert and it was so dang good that we almost ate it all despite being full.”
“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!”
“My server tonight was by far the best server I have had in a long time. Her name was Katie and she had such a wonderful personality and was very easy to talk to and extremely attentive. My food came out cold and she immediately made sure it was fixed with fresh hot food within minutes and not once did a smile leave her face. In such a high stress environment it can be hard to maintain positivity but she is the embodiment of what a good waitress should be! She deserves recognition for the hard work and good job that she does. Katie was helpful in every way and made sure that we had everything we needed to have a good dinner this evening. I am truly appreciative of her and will definitely be back to this location because of her! Thank you Katie!”
“The chicken parm and pizza was great. Limited Grotto menu but the food was as good as the other location's. Manager was extremely helpful and had his team on point.”
“omg best Asian cuisine in La never dissatisfied, food is always hot and delicious, I love it here💕🔥”
