“Very clean and nice place. If you are passing through, make sure to bring an ice chest so you can take some of their frozen goodies home to enjoy! The gumbo was absolutely delicious, my only regret was not getting more containers! Their boudin is delicious! We got these seafood boudin balls with jalapeño jack cheese and boy did they not disappoint! My husband prefers the seafood boudin but I prefer the good ole pork boudin. Definitely make a stop here if you are in the area, it will not disappoint!! They also serve links fresh so you can nibble on some down the road while keeping your cold items fresh in the cooler.Parking: There is a small part on the side that says do not park but otherwise there is plenty of parking on the side of the building.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice spacious room inside and parking outside“
“CoffeeDepot made our special day even more special!!! thank you so much for the great service and the wonderful meal and the smiley face beignets that you so generously gave us !!! adoption day - fully comped meal for 9 people - we certainly chose the best place to celebrate!! thank you from the bottom of our hearts.“
“Went in to eat in the restaurant and the wait was terrible, however when the food was finally ready it made the wait 100% worth it. I would highly recommend going eat there. The waitress her service was fantastic, Very friendly made me feel at home.“
“All I can say is OMG!!!! I should've known the food would be amazing when the line was almost out the door!! The wait was definitely worth it! Boudin and crawfish balls did not disappoint. I wasn't sure what to expect when we walked in. Lots of refrigerated meats, boudin and sausage alongside other meats. Clean and quick service.“
“It's not that they're slow, but they SO busy usually, but you can tell the food is really fresh. The atmosphere is great and it's usually packed but it's cool vibe. Just know they use, by default, the more traditional french loaf that has the slightly tougher outside, but it does help hold it together. I have no idea if they have different breads ... Shrimp po boy is a great starter!Parking: Go around the side if you can't park in the few front spots....“
“Great food, everything you could imagine a country breakfast being. 3eggs any style, 5 or 6 different proteins to chose from, a side and biggist flakiest biscuit I ever experienced. All for $8 all in. Cute wait staff, and busiest kitchen imaginable. Line out the door when I left. Closes at 11:00, so that says where they're at.“
“This was our first time eating in Lafayette and someone recommended coming here for some authentic Louisiana food with great taste. Without a doubt this was AMAZING. Our server, Max Dean, was so attentive and nice. He recommended what to try and not try as our first time and was GENUINE about it! He even recommended us places to go visit while in Lafayette. The food was amazing. It was our first time trying gumbo and we tried both of them and hands down, our favorite was the Chicken & Andouille. Recommend this place 100%!“
“This restaurant is a gem. It's hard to beat food of this quality at a truck stop considering what type of restaurants most of them have. I got the shrimp Alfredo and it was fantastic. I will be eating here every time I come by this place.“
“Stopped here for dinner on a Friday at the recommendation of a friend. Absolutely a great choice. The spicy crawfish were seasoned perfectly and good sized. Chicken and sausage gumbo was on point, and the service was great. Oh and the pork rinds they served when we were seated, perfect. We got seated immediately, but it did fill up quickly. Obviously lots of other folks enjoy the food, because by the time we left there was a line waiting to get in. We will absolutely be back again!“
“This was my first true experience with the incredible cuisine they refer to as Creole. Aside from my wife's Haitian cooking which is a bit different from the Louisiana interpretation.The Creole Lunch is very unassuming I'm appearance, and easy to miss if you are not looking. Nestled on the side of the road, I noticed the sign and the grassy parking lot. The inside is literally the inside of a house, giving it welcoming appeal. The place is a local, family-owned establishment and it shows in the food and hospitality.Now the matter of the food. It is bleeping epic! Everything I ate, and I ate half my weight in food, was delicious! The Jambalaya was spicy, savory, and teeming with flavor. As was the pork with dirty rice and collard greens. The food was so good, I ordered the Catfish Po Boy as a second entree and ate the whole damn thing. Needless to say it was life-changing. I left here full and sleepy. A meal I will remember for the rest of my life.Parking: A huge grassy lot that has plenty of spaces.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families, the locals of course, in here all of the time.“
“We were in Lafayette from Los Angeles and Ali was our server for lunch. She was super friendly and gave us great suggestions. Everything was soooo delcious we decided at the table that we would return for dinner that night and bring others. Ali offer to be our server for the evening and placed us on a list so we would not have the looong Valentines Day wait. Lordy lordy everything on the menu is scrumptious!!! The charbroiled oysters were phenominal. My fiance liked them so much he canceled his entree and ordered another dozen mixed. Lol. Ali brought us a bread pudding (for Valentines day and for visiting twice in one day) which I have never been a fan of but honey that bread kidding was the best I have ever tasted in my LIFE. Make your next meal out On the half shell Oyster house! Excellent food and awesome staff!!“
“We were beyond impressed with everything tonight.We ordered 6 boxes at varying spices and sizes, and everything out of each box was eaten completely! Honestly the best and most clean crawfish I've ever had around here. Perfect seasoning, excellent sized, and the easy to discard packaging sealed the deal. I'm so happy that we have a location just 1 road away from us. We will be back and do highly recommend!“
“We were looking for local cuisine and had The Vermilionville Restaurant recommended to us. My husband ordered the Jambalaya, my daughter ordered the Gumbo, while I ordered the baked potato to have room for bread pudding. All were delicious!I loved the many windows and brightness of the dining room. I also enjoyed the art by a local artist.“
“Been to many places near and far, searching for a place that accommodates both of our palettes at the same time...great flavor and service to boot, for 2 local hard to please-know what we like people. I think we have found our new favorite place! LCT! Yall did it! Your Chared oysters, easily climbed to the top of my list! The boiled crawfish did same for my hard to please pallette fiance! Yall DID IT WITH EASE! and to make it even better. Yall are just 20 mins away! ??? I think we coming back tonight! AAA++++“
“Nice people in what looks like a dive; but even nicer selection of fresh Kolaches and Donuts. I had a sausage and cheese kolache (pig in a fluffy blanket essentially), and an amazing, melt-in-your-mouth Cajun Apple Fritter (looks like a squashed chocolate glazed donut; but had walnuts, apple, and coconut). A great, little, quiet coffee and donut find. Great service too!“
“Went in for the first time today to try the Reuben. By far the best sandwich I've ever had. Told them it was my first time and I was a college student and not only did they give me a discount but a free cookie as well. Found my new favorite lunch spot for sure!“
“I went there for the first time last Friday, and I got a Reese's king cake and a few other items. I froze the king cake and then thawed it Saturday night for church the next morning. It was a hit! AND, I got some of their frozen gumbo. Today my teen daughter was hangry, and that gumbo saved the day! I will absolutely be back.“

“The food was amazing! We are from the Abbeville area which has really good seafood. I was really impressed and can't wait to come back!! We started with the chicken cracklin for our appetizer. Yummy! My husband and daughter had the boiled shrimp which the shell was split and was already deveined. They were seasoned perfect. My other daughter and I had the fried shrimp which was also awesome.“
“Really close to the Acadian Cultural Centre and a nice stop. $32 for 2 adults and 2 kids, so affordable.Many positive things - many buildings well preserved like the school. But many others not so much. Good description of them in English and French which was great. Costumed guides providing great information and many thanks to one young guide who provided it in French! She is learning French and kudos to her for taking seriously her work and showing respect to Acadians and Cajuns. She was really good!The great part was the jam session done my cajun musicians who were so generous and played so well! An amazing experience!The restaurant Chez maman was great, jambalaya tasted good as well as the crawfish étouffé. Service was friendly and relax.The less good parts - some building and sites were not well maintained but also quite dirty…like really dirty!Did not find good information on the village itself. Good description of specific buildings but nothing about the village and its history. My apology if I have missed it but it is there, maybe it should be easier to find.Restaurant is only open from 11am to 2pm on the Saturday we visited. We were lucky to be there during this small window.All in all, a cool place to stop and learn!“

“Pierceton was the BEST server I had in a long time!! He is new but has so much potential as he is very personable, thoughtful and knows how to talk to guests! I wish him the best of luck as a new server and know he will do amazing!! Will definitely be back to see him!“
“Party of 4 visiting from Texas asked locals at Avery Island (Tabasco plant) a recommendation for a late lunch between New Iberia and Lafayette. They told us about Poor Boys Riverside. We got there in time for the lunch specials, fried & grilled catfish, wife had a crab cake appetizer she adored, salads, soup & green bean sides were delicious. Service was great, they have a large menu with lots of options, looking forward to dining with them again. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!!“
“Blake B provided awesome service and advice on the menu! He is attentive, knowledgeable, kind and made my first dining experience there a pleasure! The food was amazing and I loved the atmosphere including the decor! Highly recommend French Press Downtown while in Lafayette!“
“No frills restaurant with a few tables. Husband wanted a po'boy while we were in Louisiana. We randomly picked this one off the map and we weren't disappointed. A 12" crusty roll filled with juicy fried shrimp (sorry, too hungry to snap a picture). They knew we were splitting it and brought it to the tablr already cut and in two baskets. We also split an order of fries - more than enough for two to split.“
“I usually eat here only during crawfish season, because their crawfish is the best in town!!! Today I was hungry for bbq and wasn’t sure where to get some from. Got on google and noticed they served bbq. OMG!!! I ordered a pork steak plate. The meat was falling off the bone. The taste was just right. Even the potato salad was perfect! I now have a go to spot for bbq here at this place. Do yourselves a favor and try them!!!!“
“I went today to meet clients the staff made me feel like family and the food was amazing. Already planning a Monday for the smothered rabbit. Menu was so good, i wanted everything, so I will plan on trying something no less than once a month!!“
“We are from BR. Yelp told us about Soul Food near us. When I tell you the Tripe was so tender, tasty, and spicy I just want the world to know it!!! The price was so right! The container was extremely packed down with nicely cut portions of Tripe! GREAT JOB Alexander's Speciality Meats We can't wait to visit again 5 stars N&M Wilson“
“Food is very good! We always enjoy the food there. Plate lunches are a bit expensive, we ordered a pork chop plate and it came with onion rings and we wanted to replace the onion ring for mash potatoes and what we got was one pork chop in a empty to go plate with a very small cup with mash potatoes on the side for the same prize as if we would of had the onion rings in the plate and they charged extra for the small cup of mash potatoes. And we asked for gravy and there was no gravy. But we still love their food and their very friendly atmosphere! We still eat there we just don't order the pork chops .“

“Had the BEST experience using Crawfish Jake for our client appreciation event! Communication was prompt and professional leading up to the event. The staff that serviced our event was polite and accommodating considering the weather wasn’t on our side for part of it. They had backup plans for us if the weather didn’t work out. I didn’t have to worry about anything day of. They brought iced down drinks, boiled and plated crawfish and sides and had premade dip ready to go. They handled all trash and cleanup. I could seriously go on and on. Jake even checked in during the event to check on everything. And lastly, the crawfish were AMAZING! All of our clients raved about the perfect seasoning level, the crawfish were large and easy to peel and the staff made sure everyone was enjoying them and offered to make accommodations if necessary. 10/10 would recommend and will use again!“
“I'll keep it short. Great food and service for a decent price. If you're looking for a good place to eat this may be the spot for you. The food was really good and the service was great. They don't try and coddle you like some want to be. But they are nice and courteous.“
“I fell in love with this place. It has a bar and a main restaurant. Bar TVs play sports and it’s awesome. I love the decor and ambiance! I had amberjack (blackened) and it was awesome. I am hoping to have a chance to go back one more time before I leave Lafayette . French 77 is a spin on French 75 and definitely a delicious adult beverage.Parking: Parking right outside of the building. Easy!“
“This was my first time I tried Cajun food. It was good. The portions were huge. When you order a cup of soup It is not a cup, it is a bowl. The waiting time for the food was a bit long but listening to karaoke was nice. No problem for parking“
“Came to the crawfish spot while in town for work as crawfish season is my favorite season. Nothing special about the decor but it's perfect for crawfish enthusiasts like myself. Plenty of parking as well. Kept it simple and ordered crawfish dip as well as some boiled crawfish with a level above mild seasoning. That dip was on of the best things I've ever put in my mouth, i could've ate that alone. The crawfish were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Now the seasoning wasn't hot per say but after a few pounds it was burning me up from the inside. Nonetheless the crawfish was good as I revisited the next day for all you can eat crawfish and at about 8-9lbs before tapping out, this time with mild seasoning. Service was pretty good. They were informative of the menu and regularly checked with us. 2nd day there was a bit of a struggle as they were training someone but nothing bad things just took a little longer. Will be back in next crawfish season to see if i can eat 10lbs or more in one sitting!“
“I came and it was my first time eating there . They were very patient and the customer service was amazing they answered all my questions and were very respectful! I got the brisket burrito (huge) and let me just say this it is worth every penny and more! The Sriracha honey chips were good. The sauce ! Don't get me started! It was amazing! Come get food here you will not be disappointed! And they season their food very well!“
“A week late but I have to give credit where it’s due!Food & service is always great!Oh & that top shelf margarita, amazingggg!This particular visit exceeded our expectations, our waitress Jaslyn was the best server we’ve ever encountered! It’s literally like we had made a ‘cousin’ not a friend.From her introduction to the end of our dining experience she had our little family smiling and laughing from ear to ear as if we were related!Our 1 y.o who isn’t very friendly even babbled a few words to her.Absolutely love when the little one is acknowledged & not just seen as a baby in a high chair taking up room.Highly recommend & def will be back!“
“The only regret I have is not trying this place sooner. I ordered door dash and my order was hot and fresh when it was delivered. I had fish,shrimp,red beans and Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious. I can't wait to try something else.“
“My family had gone their for the first time. It was pretty good! The ppl were great! Spoke to Tim for a bit. Got to know them some. Very friendly!Food wise... Our kids had enjoyed their chicken plate. My husband & I fell in love with their ribs! Mmm... They were great! Fell off the bone very easy & tasty!We will definitely be going back!!“
“OTR Truck drivers who stopped in. I was craving oysters & used Google to find this spot. So glad we dined here. Everything was GREAT! Our waitress, Kat, was friendly, knowledgeable, very attentive. She took care of us. The food was delicious. My hubby was very pleased. He lived in Louisiana so he his familiar with Cajun Seafood & he saids Uncle T's was spot on. I even brought a T-shirt. We got dessert to go, cheesecake. We really enjoyed our whole experience. Ms. Kat made it better. (Thank you) We will be back & have recommended it to our other trucker friends. It's worth it!“
