Lulu's Specialty Cones & More 2735 Country Club Rd, Lake Charles Ice Cream Shop • $

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Johnny Sánchez 777 Ave L'Auberge, Lake Charles Mexican • $$

“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.”

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!”

Buffalo Wild Wings 3136 L'Auberge Blvd, Lake Charles Chicken Wings • $$

“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!”

“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.”
