“In my opinion, Charley G's is the home for fine dinning in Lafayette and as a result it is one of our 'go to' places for special events. The food is always of such high quality and the service is fantastic. They always make you feel comfortable and well taken care of at Charley G's. Do know that if you're dinning, they do not rush you. They welcome you to spend the next 90-minutes enjoying your meal and company. I respect that.“

“The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice. Very friendly and respectable workers. We went on a Friday in lent so that means it was a packed house. The waitresses were hustling. Never did you have to ask them for anything twice. They were on top of their job. The food was fabulous. In our group we had boiled crawfish, shrimp, onions, and sausage. We had chicken tenders and shrimp poboys. Not one single complaint about the food, atmosphere or the hospitality. We will definitely be back.“

“Cody’s NEVERRRR disappoints! 🦞🖤 Hands down best crawfish in this area and the most friendly service!!“

“Loved it!!!! I haven’t had real seafood in a hot minute. I knew it would be good when I pulled up to the building. I smelled the spice as soon as I walked in, I ordered crawfish, snow crab legs and blue crabs. We went with the mild seasoning (I smelled the spice and my baby is NY born soooo…) anyway… the taste was amazing, very flavorful and not too spicy… Spiced enough to have your nose running but not overbearing. It was cooked to order, still hot after 30mins plus and the lady brought the pans to us (which she didn’t have to do, but I thought when she said 20mins that I’d give them 30mins before going in). Great meal!!! Would definitely go again!!! Just in town for the football tournament but I’d take another weekend drive to get some more.“

“Amazing flavor, perfect size, vegetables (may have been old) other than that the crawfish was PERFECT“

“We had a great dinner here! I was excited to try something new and it did not disappoint! The food tasted very clean and fresh, not greasy or overpowered with sauces. They provided sauces that you can dip and add to your dish. The people next to us all got Pho and it smelled so good that I will definitely return to try it out.“

I got the pasta trio and wow… it came out piping hot, and the cheese pull was seriously on point 🧀🔥. Every bite was comfort food perfection. And the best part? The price was totally reasonable for the quality and portion size. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for some legit Italian food! #SupportLocal #ItalianFood #FoodieFind #RomasRestaurant“

“Reddick Stevens has been doing work for Greystone for several years now. Reddick has a trustworthy, courteous and hardworking group of craftsman. They are a full service company and handle everything from interior trim work to concrete repairs. Reddick and his team respond immediately when contacted and pay amazing attention to detail, which is very rare this day and age and certainly something you can't put a price on!“

“Great food!! Nice place, great service!! Would definitely recommend it!!! FIVE stars!“

“Charlie’s Seafood – 4.1 / 5 Stars

What Stands Out

Generous, well-seasoned portions – The Large Seafood Plate (two catfish + 10 shrimp with salad, bread & choice of fries or fried rice) comes in around $13 and consistently satisfies .

Signature egg rolls and popcorn shrimp – Egg rolls are frequently praised as “best I’ve had in the area so far” , and popcorn shrimp plates boast a 96% thumbs-up rating .

Speed & friendliness – Customers rave about fast, courteous drive-thru service and a clean, casual dining area .

Wide menu variety – From classic fried fish plates, shrimp burgers, shrimp fried rice, lo mein, to chicken tenders and burgers, they cover both seafood and Asian-inspired comfort .

Where It Can Slip

Spice inconsistency – Some orders, even when marked mild, arrive overly spicy, and seasoning can vary meal to meal .

Quality dips occasionally – A few customers cited dry chicken tenders and soggy fries or stale poboys during off-days .

Not a fine-dining setup – It's primarily take-out with limited dine-in; service can slow during peak times, and mistakes happen—though they’re usually made right .

Best Bets

Large Seafood Plate – For value and flavor.

Egg Rolls – A standout “local favorite.”

Popcorn Shrimp Plate – High thumbs-up rating and dependable crowd-pleaser.

Lo Mein – A tasty detour if you want something beyond fried sea fare.

Final Take

Charlie’s Seafood is a solid go-to for hearty, affordable gulf-style seafood with friendly service and speedy takeout. It shines brightest for value-conscious eaters craving classic fried seafood or even lo mein. Just be aware of slight inconsistencies in spice and quality during busy times.

Rating 4/ 5 — dependable, flavorful, and unbeatable for the price, but occasional seasoning swings and service hiccups prevent a.“

“The place Rocks as always!! I can name a few establishments that could use a manager like Matthew! The dude cares and it shows! I hope they take care of him like he takes care of this business because he goes above and beyond!“

“I like to go with friends to this place with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are tasty and the stuff is efficient and cooperative. Every time we go to this place we enjoy a lovely evening. highly recommended.“

“Hands down the best crawfish I’ve ever had. I got the spicy & they were on point! They were huge & not one bad crawfish in my plate. We got shrimp to take home & even they were phenomenal!!“

“From the moment I stepped inside I was enveloped in an atmosphere of pure elegance. The soft ambient lighting, tasteful décor, and hushed conversations created an intimate yet refined setting, perfect for a memorable evening. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with every detail meticulously attended to. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive, guiding us through a culinary journey that felt both personalized and indulgent. ❣️“

“Boiled shrimp are excellent .. and get this .. sold without the heads (extra weight) .. perfectly boiled, right amount of seasoning, not a long wait, actually very satisfied even would go as far as to say .. pleased .. !!

Parking: The parking lot leaves a lot to be desired .. and I mean A LOT .. cement getting in and out of parking lot on both entrances/exists are broken up and washed out due to water erosion and omg the entire parking lot is one big pot hole .. can't tell if the business was built around the pot hole or if the pot hole was built around the business .. kinda like a molt (look it up .. molt)“
