This place is plate lunch heaven. It is 100% real soul food. The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and the staff is always friendly. As you are driving down 12th St you may think that you are totally lost as it is in the middle of an older neighborhood in Lafayette.

If you are looking for a classic poboy in Lafayette, this is your spot. Growing up this was a special treat and I can still taste the fried shrimp poyboys from my youth. During Lent they also have a fried crawfish poboy which is an absolute treat.

1950s styled classic dinner with large booths and black and white tile. I can remember coming here as a kid and drinking a chocolate malt while sitting at the counter. The food is reasonably priced and always spot on. A good friend actually owns this and if you see an older guy with silver hair (Jimmy) tell him that Jason & Jen sent you!

Farm-to-table restaurant and bar in a casual atmosphere. Their menu is continually changing to match the seasons and if the weather is nice they have a great outdoor eating space. We always enjoy what seasonal Agua Fresca they have and ask they if they can turn it into a mixed drink

Beautiful sushi spot. They have some of the freshest fish and most interesting sushi rolls you will find in Lafayette. If you go by on the weekend for dinner you can expect the possibility of a wait (they have a great bar to tide you over though). Also the feel is a bit more formal but don't be afraid to walk in with jeans and a t-shirt.
