First time visitor to Lafayette

[DoubleDawg]

Went to Fat Pat's today. Burger was pretty good, really nothing special. I regret not going to Judice Inn (but honestly, no fries? C'mon) Server was really not good either and they weren't that busy. Definitely has not been the norm in Lafayette.

After tonight's game we went to DeanO's- did not disappoint. They were really busy and it took a while but the food was excellent. Toppings on top of toppings - we have leftovers.

Still haven't checked out Olde Tyme, but I'm not leaving town before I do! We're going to do the Atchafalaya Experience tomorrow. After that I guess we'll head to the park and try to find tickets.

Your updates have taken visitor food threads to a whole new level.

Thanks

This is worrisome. Do you recall what kind of burger you had? Do you recall if you liked the fries or onion rings?
This is why this site is so important. There is not a better place to get real time recommendations on places of business to let customers as well as proprietors know what's happening in the community.

Yea I hate to say it but the one time I went to Fat Pats I had a similar experience. Don't make the mistake of not going to Olde Tyme

I just had the 7 oz burger with bacon and mozzarella, with fries. I had a couple of Canebreaks with it.
And I don't mean to imply it was a bad burger. It was pretty good and I'd probably go back. I just had higher expectations, I guess.

Dont worry about it,Fat pats is crap. I agree with no fries at judice inn, but the burgers are excellent.

I'd get the smoked boudin at Best Stop. best of show in the area. Best cracklins too

Best Stop puts the 'Crack' in cracklins. Best ever!

I actually like Don's better. But I love me some best stop stuffed pork chops. Does any body remember the Butcher shop that used to be open by the railroad track in Carencro? I remember they had the best bonding I ever tasted.

Same. I was underwhelmed by Fat Pats when Ive been as well.

DD, have you made it to French Press yet? I doubt you'd be disappointed there

You are only as good as your current chef.

Sometimes they take nights off and other times only work half a day.
