There is a large bar area and seemed well stocked. Service was not unfriendly but definitely more on the ambivalent side of things. Almost felt like I was bothering them to order. I dined in but after waiting for my order at a table with an assigned order #holder. When the order was ready, a lady just dropped off the bag with food prepared to go left the table number on the table and just walked away. Maybe they just cater to regulars. I had a cheeseburger onion rings and a bottle of tea. Including a 20% tip it was right at $20. I didn't really feel welcome and won't return.

Was told about this little gem by my mom a few months ago. After moving in the area, my mom decided…read moreto give it a try. Boy were we impressed. The portions are always plentiful, enough for most people to share one plate. The fried food is always fried to perfection. The portions for the price are unbeatable! Consistency is always on point with them. You get the same every time you go! The employees are amazing as well. Always very pleasant & now that my mom has gone back many times they have made it a point to remember her. As other reviews have said, don't let the outside fool you! This place is a MUST TRY!

Bottom shelf wine at a California price. $12 per glass of Bonanza cabernet (for wine that costs $9 for a full bottle.) AND $6.25 for domestic beer during Happy Hour. These people are GOUGING LA customers at CA prices! AND what's with the service fee? (3%) AND who charges for gravy? ($1) Of course no alcoh prices listed on menu, but come on, I expected this at 1/2 this price as it is in other establishments. I will NEVER go back!

We asked about the onion rings and she paused, as if in prayer. When they arrived we said a little prayer of thanksgiving! They were awesome. The burger special is my go to. Hard to beat burger and fries at a great price! And it's not a skimpy little burger either! The bottom line is that you get a good value and it just taste good! That's how I like my burgers!

Okay but the chargrilled oysters at The Chimes?? Yeah... they ate DOWN ‍…read more They came out hot, buttery, and loaded with that garlicky goodness. The cheese was melted perfectly on top and the oysters themselves were super fresh -- not fishy at all. I was literally scraping the plate for the extra sauce because it was THAT good. Service was quick and the vibe was chill, which made the whole experience even better. If you go to The Chimes and don't order the chargrilled oysters... what are you even doing?? Definitely coming back for another round.

The little French bread that comes with the meal is delicious and I'm not a bread eater! The packaging and service is very safe and clean! Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

Who Put My Catfish in Witness Protection?…read more This place used to be one of my favorite spots in Broussard. Great atmosphere, great service, and my family ate here so often they should have considered putting our name on a booth. Unfortunately, the menu changes have turned this into a completely different experience. Let's start with the catfish. Somewhere between the old menu and the new one, the catfish fillets entered witness protection. What arrived on my plate looked less like catfish and more like a collection of heavily breaded suggestions of catfish. I've seen french fries wider than these strips. If there was actual fish inside, it was hiding better than Bigfoot. The spicy shrimp wrap also appears to have retired from the spice business. It now contains enough pepper jelly to qualify as a dessert, and so much of it that the wrap becomes a soggy engineering failure halfway through eating it. Then there are the onion rings. Calling them onion rings feels generous. They looked like someone lost a ring toss tournament and served the equipment. The frustrating part is that I genuinely loved this place. I live nearby and used to come here regularly. I even tried reaching out through the website before posting this review and never received a response. I hate leaving negative reviews, but somebody needs to stage an intervention for that catfish. This is Acadiana. We have standards. And right now, that catfish is filing a formal complaint against whoever approved it.
