First time visitor to Lafayette

[ulforlife]

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.

Breakfast -Dwyer's (old style diner downtown) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dwyer...15495858476468
-The French Press (Breakfast/Brunch downtown) http://www.thefrenchpresslafayette.com/
-Meche's Donut King (have great unique donuts as well
as King Cakes, 402 Guilbeau Road location is closest)
-Another Broken Egg (chain) River Ranch area of town

Blue moon guest house is a unique experience

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

Dah? Help me out. What main streets? Want to try it out.

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

[ulforlife]

Yep. Agave. Good Margaritas, terrible food. Jmo

I agree. If I want Mexican I'm going to La Pagua

Never heard of it before today. Never ate a Dwight's & passed there a million times. Just never thought about it. As far as over & under on total pages, this is not only about food, it's about booze, & a place to sleep it all off. This could go on all summer. I vote we bring back the Hud at olde tyme grocery & insert. Does the site have enough memory space for that?

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.

Agreed.
