First time visitor to Lafayette

[Guidry3]

All these places and no one has even touched on the best places for plate lunches! Geez I love Lafayette!

But seriously, IF y'all make it to Sunday, depending on game-time, go get a BBQ plate lunch from Dwight's. Just make sure you call in or be there at 11 to stand in line.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Shuck's in Abbeville. How are the crawfish @ dwyer's how big & the price right now? Obviously, you can see the need to get a Po Boy from Olde Tyme Grocery. They are everything the board says. Only go if you are hungry.

Shuck's actually crossed my mind while I was typing. I just didn't want to send someone on an adventure and they end up in Intracoastal City!

Also - Crawfish Tyme on Verot has some of the best crawfish as well.

Did anybody mention Mel's diner for all night starvation?

With all the maroon they'd fit right in. They'd probably make them honorary Boudreauxs or Doucets.

For seafood (Crawfish) - Dons downtown for Crawfish Bisque never disappoints. (Hurry crawfish season is almost over)
For a somewhat eclectic menu go to the French Press across the street from Dons downtown.
For sushi Tsunami downtown
For Mexican - LaPaqua on Johnston or Aztecas on Ambassador Caffery (Avoid LaFondas no matter what anybody says)
For Italian - I Monelli or Alesi's both on Johston street.
For smoked meats Johnstons Boucaniere (you will not be disappointed) If you really want to get down with cajun go to Poches north of Breaux Bridge.

For a somewhat more elegant setting Cafe Vermilionville on Pinhook or Jollies also on Pinhook.

For Tapas - Pamplona Tapas on Jefferson.

Everyone in this thread has been spot on.

I just wanted to comment separately that the meatloaf sandwich at the French Press is nothing short of life affirming.

Dude did say food thread. This ought to last until after Omaha.

Not Dwyers, Dwight's on Johnston Street next door to Doug Ashy.

Where is the French Press? What an educational experience.

How much are they? & how big are they running?
