8 years ago, I gave Parish brewing only 4 stars because their tap room was too small. Well, they…read morehave improved it and made it a little bigger during that time but it's still too small. Alas they have announced the construction of a brand-new complex that I am sure will have a marvelous taproom. With all that being said, it doesn't matter about Parish's taproom. Their beer is so good I would drink it out of an oil pan while sitting in a port-o-potty. I have been to 420 breweries across the country including most of the ones on all the best breweries in the country list and Parish has my favorite beer, Ghost in the Machine. Ghost and all its variations and collaborations cannot be beat for hopheads like me. Parish could only make Ghost, and it would still be a 5-star brewery but there is so much more. Their limited-edition dessert stouts are fantastic, Canebrake is the perfect "everyday drinker", and their other hazies like Bloom and Atticus are phenomenal.

Parish Brewing is hands down one of the best breweries I've been to. The beer is flat out amazing…read more I had a Super Tropics for $8 and a Dr. Juice for $6, and both were worth every penny. Super Tropics was loaded with bright tropical flavors and finished clean, while Dr. Juice was refreshing, easy to drink, and full of character. The crew behind the bar makes the experience even better. They're friendly, quick, and know their beer. You can tell they enjoy what they do and it shows in the way they take care of customers. If you're into craft beer, this place is a must. Great pours, great people, and the kind of spot you can't wait to come back to.

We drove to Lake Charles with the intention of visiting a different establishment. However, due to…read moretheir limited hours, we weren't able to visit this time around. While looking for a backup, I came across this place. I was surprised to find that they provided a variation of counter service instead of table service. We ordered at the counter, received a number and the staff later brought the food to us. However, with the beer, we ordered at a different counter and brought it back to the table ourselves. This was a while back, so I'm not sure if things have changed since then. Seating was available indoors (2 levels) and outdoors, complete with live music. We ordered the eagle wings & fries, margherita pizza and pretzels & beer cheese. The chicken wings were dry and the pizza crust was less than desirable. The pretzels were salty, but better once the salt was dusted off. The beer cheese was interesting but not my favorite. Overall, I didn't care for the food. The atmosphere was lively, but I wouldn't return just for that. There's 26 photos that should post with this review.

It's a super awesome setup with ample parking and great walk up. We had premade reservations via Open Table. They aren't required but we did just in case they were busy. Our server was Megan, who made great recommendations and was super helpful. (Ask for her!) Anywho... We ordered Parmesan crusted fries to start with me having the Barrel and Bough for a starter drink, and Honey had a Lake front Lager. He described it as being light and delicious. The Barrel and Bough was chefs kiss... a welcome spin on my favorite Old Fashioned. He ordered the I-10 Smash Burger with a truffle Fries, and I went for the chicken and sausage gumbo, with a side of brown butter mashed potatoes. The meal was excellent. Honey wasn't super impressed with the smash burger, but it was great presentation with good flavor. I, however, devoured my gumbo. It was the perfect blend with spice but a hint of sweet. Reminded me of my mother's gumbo and that's hard to beat!!!! We finished the meal with a cup of coffee. We got cans of Fruit Stand blend to go, and we loved it. We will for sure be back for more trips to enjoy their delish faire of foods. It is seafood heavy but there are options for vegans and burgers available as well. Overall... chefs kiss and a salute to the chef!

We were heading home from our Avery Island weekend and were able to stop for Sunday Brunch! Although we arrived at about 10:30, they were already full and we were looking at a 30 minute wait so we decided to order drinks and appetizers and sit outside while we waited. We had an Express ya'self Martini, boudin queso, biscuits and this week's special French toast - Butterfinger Fench toast all of which were delicious! We decided not to get any entrees as we were full and often do that at brunch but had to try the mouth watering Turtle Caramel cheesecake which was superb! My one negative is that I found most of the staff not very friendly and welcoming. It was just like "well this is my job". We go to a lot of different restaurants to try their brunches and this was probably the least liked staff so far. Even the bartenders gave me the impression of "come on and stop asking questions". For us, we like to have staff who are excited about sharing their restaurant and happy to see us. Over all though, I would go back and recommend this if you are ever in Houma to try it out!

I can't say that anything knocked my socks off, but the service was excellent and I have a feeling the food served in the restaurant is really good too.

This brewery was a great time! Got to enjoy a very good cover band while we were here (shoutout to…read moreThe Drunk Uncles, they killed it! ) The brewery also has some decent bar food that you order up front (where you order your drinks) and pick it up at the food truck once it's ready! The food truck was called Pie Eyed and you can find them on Facebook for more information and what they serve; we only saw the offered appetizers on this day atleast which were very good. The beer pretzel and fries were delicious! The brewery had plenty of beer to choose from as well, my favorite being Puppy Love! The brewery offered a small indoor seating area and a larger covered outdoor area where the band was playing. The brewery also offered dog friendly environments in the brewery including water bowls, a grass area right outside the fence, and even carabiner D clasps located on the outdoor tables, to hook your dogs leash onto so you don't have to hold their leash and can enjoy drinking your delicious beer! They did a good job with making it dog friendly AND convenient for the dog owners! Overall this is a great brewery and a great place to enjoy your time with friends, family, and your fur babies!

Nice building, good service, good food!…read more I came in town for a family gathering and caught up with my dad for lunch. He chose BJ's. The building is nice, there's plenty of parking in a huge lot, and you get sat pretty quickly. There's PLENTY of seating. I got the caesar salad with grilled shrimp, and it was pretty good. A tad salty, but still good and did the job. Simply caesar salad. It was pretty quiet, so I am not sure if the ambiance is more social at night. I'm assuming it is, with all the TVs. Probably a hub for all the major game viewings!!! Server was super attentive and made sure drinks were refilled consistently without making us feel rushed or uncomfortable. I assume it's a different experience at night, but overall no complaints!

We ordered the mac-and-cheese balls, fish and chips, and prime rib hoagie and the food quality blew us away--from the crispiness of the beer-battered fish to the juicy and tender beef. My favorite bite of the day was definitely the prime rib sandwich soaked in that delicious au jus sauce, although the sauce could have been thicker and a bit more flavorful. But it goes without saying that the star of the show was their world famous chocolate chip pizookie--a large, soft, ooey-gooey amalgamation topped with two thick scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. I immediately understood the hype as the pizookie was both simple and decadent. 7/10 ~ Ultimately, I would return to BJ's just to try more of their sandwiches and pizookie flavors^^

To be honest, I came here for my nieces 16th birthday dinner not by my choice. I had low…read moreexpectations. BJ is one of only two places I've ever had to return food in all of my years of going out to eat The negatives are we waited forever for a table. We had a 630 reservation. We sat at about 8 o'clock. You could tell they were short-staffed in the front of house. We had a party of about 25 to 30 and maybe 19 of us left over, once we were allowed to the table, a portion of our party had to leave. Working in a restaurant I could see they were understaffed in the front, because no tables were being seated from the wait. You could kind of see the wait growing, but There was no rotation of tables going in, as other parties left....small parties or large parties. Once we were allowed to the table, you could see the restaurant was about 60% full. As a restaurant manager, myself,I understand. No judgment at all, other than the fact that I was starving. We had one server. Needed 2. Especially with a table of 14 to 16-teenage boys and girls. Again no judgment I have to make those decisions at work sometimes also. Our server was Cheyenne. She did the absolute best she could. She remain professional and calm and she did pretty good under the circumstances. Had we had another server, the flow of service would've been faster. I wanted to order a few appetizers for the kids tables and.probably would've ordered more drinks from the bar, than I did, but she just couldn't get around everybody fast enough. Keep in mind one of our tables had at least 14 teenage boys slurping down their beverages back to back to back. The food was delicious. It was hot. It was fresh. It beat my expectations from my previous experiences at BJ's. I will add BJ to my rotation of going out to eat places in hopes that the quality of the food I received is consistent with what I had Saturday night.
