First time visitor to Lafayette

Shouldn't we send this thread to Mr Coachman?

I don't believe he can actually read or write.

Chris' Poboys on Pinhook has great roast beef poboys!

Bulldog visitors. Do yourself a favor and try some of our local beers. Canebrake from Parish Brewing is my personal favorite but their SouthCoast amber and Envie IPA are worth a try as well.
The food at Walkons is marginal but the beer selection is first rate.
Also you must get boudin balls(not the kind you would get at 4 Corners) from Billys or Best Stop.

Follow the recommendations posted earlier and you will be fine. If there is one thing you can do in Lafayette is eat and drink and be merry. Well I guess thats three.
Safe travels

Maybe he'll get somebody to read it to him. Obviously he was disappointed by the closing of Desperado's

After moving.man, I miss Canebrake. That turned into one of, if not my favorite beer.

Great sweet breads!

You have to go to Four Corners. For entertainment, it is absolutely the best Bang for your buck.

REALLY BAD ADVICE!!! ITS THE EQUIVALENT OF TIGER STADIUM lol meow

Something that I think no one has mentioned. The BEST Cajun food will be a home cooked meal and the closest you will probably get to that is tailgating. The restaurants give it a good go but real Cajun food is simply made with simple ingredients all put together to create incredibly complex favors.

Be sure you pass by the tailgatersI am sure they will take care of you.

it makes Tiger Stadium look like Beverly Hills.

also to the OP, if you're bringing kids with you, the Kart Ranch in Youngsville is a good time. they have go-karts, batting cages, arcade games, a play area, etc.

Plate lunches. T-Coons, Laura's II and Country Cuisine

Blue Moon will be great option for live music and drinks after the games! But could also be a great spot to stay if you're down with the whole hostel expierence.

Blue moon also has private rooms with their own private baths. It is an experience you will never forget and you dont have to drive after partying all night

[billbeck451]

Zeus on pinhook is great right next to blue dog cafe which is also very good and has a good bar. Travel lodge next door is older but run by a very nice family is reasonable and clean

Laura's II on University for a plate lunch is fire. Gotta get a Judice Inn burger on Johnston. And Olde Tyme on St. Mary is a must!!!
