These folks will get dining business from me

I'd debate that point. Lost interest in the place years ago and know numerous others that have as well. Maybe they are getting a different clientale. I wouldn't know for certain but I do know that myself and other regulars from years past no longer patronize the establishment.

Same here...can't remember when the last time it was that I went there. But the place just keeps going.

There's a pretty simple formula to making it as a great restaurant in Lafayette. Either boil great crawfish or get everyone drunk. I mean, do you think lafondas has made it this far on their fried rabbit? Lol

Very good point...you never hear of how good Lafonda's food is. Hell I can't even remember ever going there.

I ate at Lafondas once 15 years ago. I swear it was wolf chili out of a can. Terrible. Never been back.

Lafonda's is an enigma. It started in the boom days of the oil patch and just hasn't stopped. The food sucks. It's a watering hole. It's all about getting the drunk on and socializing.

For new restaurants, they had better serve good food and have decent service. They cannot compare themselves to the old established "watering holes".

If a restaurant is pro UL any self respecting Cajuns fan has to be pretty spoiled to openly berate the food or service. Just shut up and be glad you have the opportunity to eat longer with the ones you love.

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit but did you guys try Cheddar's yet?

I know it's a big chain and all, but when we went, all of our food was very good and our service was excellent. Wasn't really paying any attention to the decorum of the place though. Thoughts? Do you think the place will last? It's located in what a consider one of the "chain restaurant" locations in Lafayette so they have that going for them.

Eating at Mr. Meets 2 right now.

I'd give a play by play but my wife would think I'm ignoring her
