OT: Ask the Pack

[Col. Forbin]

Daughter's got a soccer tournament in Lafayette this weekend and looking for some food recommendations. Something good for a large group perhaps. We have a good bit of time in between games on Saturday so some lunch spots would be good too.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Raisin' Cain's

Go ahead and order extra sauce.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Prejeans

There is a Mexican restaurant right across from the ULL baseball stadium. Was pretty good spot during the regional a couple years back.

Assuming your talking about Lafayette, LA.

Cajun food - Prejean's is excellent for dinner, probably a little to heavy for lunch. It's up Hwy 90 in Carenco/Opelouses. Blue Dog Cafe is good as well. Don's Seafood is a staple downtown, you can't go wrong there.

Judice Inn on Johnston St. is a great burger, perfect for lunch. Chris's Poboys is excellent for lunch as well.

 

[Palmettodog]

LaFonda's. Yes, its great.

 

[57stratdawg]

Blue Dog is good. Cafe Vermillionville is good too right across the street. It’s probably better for a date though than with the young ones.

 

[Palmettodog]

Yeah, I wouldn't run my kids up in Cafe Vermillionville. Old antebellum home with pricey food.

 

[Col. Forbin]

Yea, these girls might destroy some stuff in a place like that. Thanks for the recs so far.

I spend a lot of the late Spring and Summer in Louisiana racing quarter horses so just about every other weekend I’m on the road from Mississippi to Vinton, La. There are 2 stop we WILL make every trip for cajun food
#1 Chicken on the Bayou the boudin shop in Breaux Bridge. As soon as you get off the Achafalya Basin bridge on I-10 take the 1st exit Henderson/Sicilia. When you get off the ramp you are looking at Landry’s(not worth eating) and Chicken on the Bayou. It’s an old run down looking beer store with the best cajun cooking I’ve ever had...there Poboys and fried crawfish boudin balls are my goto’s

#2 Prejeans in Lafayette, La. Fried platter is more than any man should eat in 1setting and the have a live Zydaco band at night. Funtimes

 

[PapaDawg]

Prejeans. Don's, & Bluedog are all excellent.

Riverfront in Abbeville has excellent Poboys.
530 Park Ave, Abbeville, LA 70510

I will be stopping here my next trip through, thanks. Have you gotten boudin from Jerry Lee's in Baton Rouge? Is Chicken on the Bayou better? I always stop and buy about 10 pounds every trip through.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Go to Billeaud Grocery in Broussard and get you a bag of their pork cracklings. You'll thank me later. Some of the best ones Ive ever eaten.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

The most overrated chicken place of all time. Taste like Sysco chicken strips to me.

 

[mcdawg22]

I know who not to ask.

 

[SanfordRJones]

Go to Johnson's Boucaniere and get the Parrain. It's basically a grilled cheese sandwich with boudin in it.

Also, make sure to go to Parish Brewing in Broussard.

Never eaten at the place in Baton Rouge but we always bring an ice chest to take back boudin from Chicken on the Bayou. He makes his own seasoning to for shimp and crawfish boil. It's worth the stop.

Prejeans and Blue Dog are both great.
