I figured something was up with only a few cars dotting the parking lot, compared to a full parking lot next door at Social Table, Lafonda, and every other place nearby. They need Gordon Ramsey.
IIRC the ownership changed a few years back. That seems to be around the same time people first started complaining about a decline. I was not impressed on my last two outings there.
When was the service ever good at Pete's? I can remember being in college and taking our boss (the original parking and transit money thief) to Pete's so he could see why we were always late coming back from lunch at Pete's.if I remember correctly we were 45 minutes late and they kept on screwing up our checks so the boss just paid the whole bill so we could go back to work. But.no one goes to Pete's for the service.
Inpsections may have changed over the years but 2 Critical Findings require a reinspection within several weeks. Non Critical Findings could be something as simple as an employee drinking in a food prep area and Critical Findings could be failure to maintain refrigeration equipment at proper temperatures creating food hazard risk, employee's not washing hands or failure to properly sanitze work stations or food prep areas. Any Restaurant that continues to have critical findings is a risk to you and your family.
Took a girl there a couple weeks ago because she loves the wings. Place was way too dingy for me. The tables, chairs, and floor are disgusting and need replacing.
Service was teribble. My chicken fried steak was rock hard, the salad and ranch dressing were awful. The wings were awesome, though.
It's amazing to look at all of the establishments in Lafayette parish. They cover all types of businesses, not just restaurants.
For a place that's been an iconic part of many people's lives (mine since the 1970's) to go into such decline is a damn SHAME! Wish I had the money to buy it and return it to its former self.

I do my fantasy baseball and football drafts at Pete's. Nothing beats it for that purpose. Other than that it's a let down. I do like the food but you have to wait about 2 hrs. to get it. Service is horrible.
We go on occasion, I guess out of nostalgia. The food is usually good, but the place could certainly use a good cleaning.
