Coming to town and need restaurant info

[AnotherHebert]

Sunny’s rice and noodle on Johnston has the only Korean barbecue in Lafayette if you’re looking for something different. Also, Edie’s on Pinhook has some of the best biscuits. Randol’s has live music and dancing, although I haven’t been post corona.

Eddie's fried catfish. No s h i t!

Darn, well I guess Khan’s Mongolian grill on Pinhook. You can add T-Coons to the list too if that hasn’t already been mentioned.

Which one. Social or Bon Temps. If Bon Temps food not in your top twenty you’re fired.

Social by a mile. Especially if you’re a ‘farm to table’ type. And if you like ‘hair of the dog‘ on Sunday mornings. I’ve never had anything there I didn’t like. Best salads in Lafayette.

I’m genuinely surprised by the Bon Temps love. I didn’t mean to knock them, just seemed perfect that a tourist would pick them as the best in town. They have OK food. My experience has always been, meh, OK.

This Bon Temps discussion is starting to mirror the La Pagua zealotry. Never understood it.

The French Press used to be well thought of, not any more?

That’s one, of those listed here I’ve been to, I would classify as overrated.

Jay said it right, though, OP could opt not to get in a vehicle to eat well during his stay. However, if hopping in one to head out, I’d put T-Coons, Bon Temps, Riverside Inn and Poseidon’s down as good options.

Social does have a good atmosphere, but I’m not crazy about the entrees. And I might get blasted for bringing this one up, but Don’s Seafood Hut on Johnston does have a nice bar atmosphere, well made adult beverages by friendly bar tenders, and I’ve honestly never had a bad meal there.

Definitely gotta get the stuffed grilled cheese sandwich at Johnson’s Boucaniere, and that can be achieved via walking. I like mine with their boudin and BBQ sauce.

The smoked fried chicken with a sweet potato biscuit from Social is one of the best dishes in town. Add a side of mac and cheese and it's a religious experience.

amen to that. Social is a really nice place both to have a few drinks and have a great meal.

Aside from Prejean's, what are some places I can bring some out-of-towners to experience traditional Cajun food?

Where will you be primarily? Uptown / Downtown / Southside / Saints Streets / Upper Lafayette / West End

[zephyr]

Downtown has a bright future in Lafayette. Need more living units.

They're coming

Except the trash in the streets on Sunday morning is kind of depressing. Stay away from the underpass,. The trash and homeless in the street is disturbing. The homeless people sleeping in the front of the old Lafayette hardware store and Cap. One bank building is shocking.

This is a big part of why Dat Dog is leaving.
