“This place is amazing. Do not sleep on it. The food was great hot and fresh. The service was amazing very friendly stuff and price was on point.i almost didn’t stop because it is attached to a gas station I didn’t want gas station food, but believe me it is not the gas station. It’s just a building on the side of it and it is amazing food.”
“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!”
“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!”

“Taqueria Los Sanchez’s is the best authentic Mexican restaurant to hit SWLA, i personally promise the best authentic food around, i have been coming here weekly for almost two years now , and every time it’s consistent and beautiful food maximizing flavor and quality, i look forward every week to coming by and seeing salvador and the restaurant staff always friendly and welcoming. i personally beg everyone if you have the time to please at least give it a try. thank you for giving this a read and i hope to see you there!”
“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 ”
“If you haven’t been to Fuji in awhile like us, I’d definitely recommend going! Tonight’s hibachi was exactly what I was craving and so fast with the best service!! I wish I had thought to ask our servers name because she was so attentive and sweet! Highly recommend!! 🤗”

“Nice clean quick and cheap. I would recommend it!

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!”
“The burgers were freshly cooked, tasty, hot and the patty itself was perfect, it was not overloaded with condiments seeping from the bun. The french fries were cooked to perfection and had a nice crisp to them! I enjoyed the lettuce being chopped, not shredded. The service was great, more than I expected. Much to my surprise the manager on duty brought our order to the table. The dining area was clean and ready for customers. I am not a fan of fast food but this establishment in Lake Charles LA takes fast food to a higher level. I recommend this establishment for a fast, enjoyable meal.

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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 had a chance to speak with the owner before I received my order and it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. He told me that the food was cooked fresh and I wasn’t disappointed to receive hot and fresh food. Make sure to get their special sauce. I wish there was more beef and broccoli in my noodle bowl, however over all everything was delicious. Highly recommended.”
“I love the people, pool, entertainment and the overall atmosphere!”
“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 !”

“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.”
“Generous portions with the baskets. We had the shrimp/oyster and fish/oyster. The shrimp were huge and the oysters were tasty. We like the cornmeal breading on the fish. Onion rings were made from scratch and very good. The side salads weren't anything special.”
“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!!”

“Knocked it out of the park again with a great meal and service”
“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.”
“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!!”

“Really enjoy the Sunday Brunch and the music on the patio. Great atmosphere!”
“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!”
“Great customer service. Exactly what we needed. I highly recommend!!”
“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!!!”
“I have a dairy food allergy, Chef Benny and his staff made sure that my meal was safe for me to enjoy! My steak was perfect, they cooked my sides completely separate so that nothing was cross contaminated. I am beyond grateful to have had such a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend. Thank you to Chef Benny and his staff!”
“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!”
“My first there and I’d definitely be back!
I ordered the top shelf frozen margarita and the shrimp nachos. Every thing was great, I didn’t have a long wait and Raine was very nice! The only complaint I have is that it was entirely too cold in there! 🥶🥶”
“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!”
“This has been a very long time favorite of ours, very disappointed in the fact that the menu has been reduced to 10 entrées and three of the dishes on the menu were unavailable. Somebody needs to step their game up! Disappointed”
“My family and I visited last night on a whim, absolutely amazing! Our server, Kia, was great. She greeted us almost immediately, very personable and attentive to our needs without us asking which we greatly appreciated. We ordered in the Combo Fajitas, Beef Fajita Quesadillas, and just a crispy taco. Everything came out fresh and literally smoking 10/10 to the chef. Will be returning.”

“Best wonton soup and pork egg fu yung I’ve had in years, very generous portions. Tried the Sesame chicken and liked that as well but in all honesty, I always go for the pork egg fu, my husband and I usually get a large wonton soup, egg rolls and an order of egg fu and it’s more than enough for the both of us for dinner. I know I need to try some other menu items but I love the egg fu so much I just can’t bring myself to order anything else. We haven’t had egg fu yung this good since 2007 when we moved to a Europe.We only discovered this restaurant this year but we sure are glad we did and now it’s pretty much our go to for Chinese every few weeks, sometimes more often!”

“Every time I try something different at In-Laws I’m always blown away by the flavor! Do yourself a favor and try their breakfast!

“OMG!!! Tried Shuga Mama’s for the first time and lawddddd have mercy!!! I ordered the beef tacos, chili cheese fries and banana pudding funnel cake. The serving sizes are for sure for two people. Everything was made to order hot and fresh, the lid on the funnel cake couldn’t close it was so big. I was hollering at the end of the road when I tasted the funnel cake🤣Everything was very flavorful!! 1,000/1,000 go show some love cause she definitely doing her thing.”

OVERALL 10/10 for GOLDEN CHICKS - Chris”
“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.”
“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!”
