“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.”
“If you’re looking for a chill dinner spot on a Friday, Crust Pizza hits the mark, not too busy! The new server was super nice and quick, and TJ always knows what’s good. And that Oreo cookie dessert? So good!”
“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 give this place a 1 star ⭐️ review. I’m not sure if the owner or management is different. I have been coming here for 5 years and Never have experienced such horrible experience. The wait staff brought out dirty water cups and not to mention this was for breakfast. They missed one order and once asked about the missing order the staff was rude. Then some old lady that looked like a dishwasher or cleaning lady came out very rude asked I I would like to re order and purchase the meal that was missed.The Bekery, LLC.”
“By far some of the best food we’ve had! Excellent service and hospitality! If you haven’t experienced this place you are missing out!”
“Embers is a visually appealing restaurant with very good service and a beautiful atmosphere. The food was certainly tasty, but honestly, it didn't blow me away for the price point. It’s an expensive night out, and while everything was fine, I expected a bit more wow factor to match the cost.”

“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!”
“100% recommend food is great! Authentic food and great people!”
“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!”

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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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??”
“Great food and entertainment! Loved our waitress and the manager ! Want to come back the next time we are passing through from Texas!”

“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 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.”
“I love the people, pool, entertainment and the overall atmosphere!”
“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.”

“Welcoming love that the owner greeted us with love at the door. Keeping it cute. Nice ! Great spot for the grown and sexy only. My kind of music. Most of ALL NO YOUNG PEOPLE crashing with chains and pants down to their knees.”
“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!!”

“Great customer service. Exactly what we needed. I highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!

“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!”
“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.”
“omg best Asian cuisine in La never dissatisfied, food is always hot and delicious, I love it here💕🔥”
