First time visitor to Lafayette

[Frenchie35]

Don't forget about Charlie G's. Olde Tyme is flat out the best po-boy you'll ever get. Get the whole shrimp or any other. A bit off the beaten path is Nash's in Broussard. Cafe Vermilion Ville for white table cloth dinning. Ruffino's on the River. Oh...and Jolie's....seriously if you can't find good food in Lafayette you just aren't trying. You could easily spend four days here and eat all three meals at a different places each day and never get a bad meal.

Yea, and never run out of restaurants either....You would have hit only about 3%....I think one goes out of business for whatever reason and two open up down the road. My wife use to cook every day, now we eat out just about every day......damn I'm getting hungry........

Forgot the hotels by I-10. Look at the 5 or 6 hotels on Kaliste Saloom near Pinhook. Much better location and newer hotels.

All of this talk about food makes me Campus Copies way too much.

Holy ____e!!!! Awesome plate lunches, they use to put a hurtin on me before I would go to track practice. Coach Lancon would get on me too.

For hotels, check out The Lofts on Buchanan. Right in downtown, they may be booked though.

I had posted this when we were hosting the softball regionals/super-regionals, so I'll just cut/paste without worrying about duplicates maybe listed above.

We love our food in Lafayette Louisiana (as our waistlines can attest). I'll cover just the places in Lafayette rather than the whole surrounding area which would be too large a list to provide. I tried to stay with places fairly close to the park. I also try to avoid chain type places as you can eat there at home.

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.

This would be a decision that no one could regret

Dude... You've never been to French Press? You are missing out BIG TIME
