One of my favorite places to eat in Lafayette! Everything is so good, but I think the meatloaf is my favorite ( if I have to choose). Also, their Cajun Ranch Dressing is my absolute favorite dressing in the world. They make it in house. You definitely won't regret giving this place a try! read more

They sat our table and forgot about us. No server was assigned for 10 minutes. The food took an hour, and took way longer than expected. The Pecaniere arrived cold. The Cuban Sammie was alright. Live music was cool. read more

Was expecting mediocre food. But....omg. The food was amazing! It actually reminded me of a restaurant that I went to in Rome and it was just amazing! Thank you for taking me back to Italy even though you guys serve southern food. The level of satisfaction was very similar and I thank you for that. read more

Shaquille from Clarion hotel recommended this place and it was amazing! My server Cameron was awesome! The food was great. I recommend this place to everyone read more

Had the grilled red snapper with meunière and crawfish. Very good, good live music- not too loud. Great find.

Excellent food! We had the crawfish enchiladas, stuffed pork chop, blackened trout and grilled meatloaf. Everything was really good except the meatloaf, it was dry. The bread was so good!! Overall, we'd definitely come back! read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Crawfish hush puppies very good and popular. If you get there late in the evening they might be out. Great Cajun based menu in general. We've dined a number times and never disappointed. Shrimp and grits good. Meat pies close to awesome. Price is good for product served. Never disappointed read more

Well two good things I can say for this restaurant. Let me get to that in a minute. 1. My husband had Stuffed porkchops, fried Brussel sprouts and asparagus. 2. I had grilled Red fish, asparagus and corn roux. My food was very good. Now for my husband's, in the middle of the night he was up throwing up. In the morning he started having diarrhea, it continued all day. We had to spend an additional day at the K.O.A which cost us $ 79.00 Also we brought home some pork for our dog. She was throwing up and had diarrhea. We were to leave on Sunday morning but had to extend our stay to Monday. My husband got up Monday morning, still had some diarrhea, he really didn't feel like eating but forced himself to have a sandwich, he can't ride on an empty stomach. He drove from Lafayette, Louisiana to Robertsdale, Alabama to the next campground. Pulling our RV. Well here is a good thing about the restaurant, I called and talked to the manager about the food( which I think was spoiled) She refunded the money's for all our meal. Well this incident have left us with a bad taste for this restaurant. I don't believe we will come back there when we are back in town. read more

One of our favorite places in Lafayette! The food is always good and the service is even better!! read more

Bon Temps Grill - Alligator Bang Bang PoBoy, Meatloaf Po-Boy Sandwich - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Love this place. Every time we're in town we make it a point to come here. The service is great. The food is fabulous. I get the gumbo. My husband gets the poboy which is huge. Their meatloaf is delicious and that says a lot because I'm picky about my meatloaf. Their bread pudding is great with a rum sauce that's to die for. We love their meat pies too. It comes with a nice sauce. read more

ALWAYS take my family here when we visit. Food and staff are top tier. Those alligator bites are work the 12hr trip alone.

Very much a serendipity. Found this very authentic Cajun restaurant by happens stance. Great Cajun music and delicious food. The night I was there wine was half off. Will go back 1000% read more

My go-to restaurant when I'm in town for work. The food is always incredible, the new location is beautiful, and the live music is a classy touch! Don't pass on dessert because the bread pudding is worth every ounce of diabetes!!!! read more

Outstanding service, food, and cocktails. The waitress we had went out of her way to help.

AMAZING FOOD To die for Alligator bang bang appetizer!! Ahi Tuna with sweet potato mash yummy and salad!! Fun Environment!! Bands !! Louisiana French style setup !!!! 4 SURE COMING BACK!!!! read more

Food and service was amazing! Crawfish etouffee pot pie is on point. You can thank me later!

I wasn't going to write a review because the other 300+ reviews summed up the great food and service but I felt compelled to share my experience. Firstly, the seafood stuffed mushroom appetizer was amazing! Savory and nicely proportioned (order of 4). I ordered the shrimp and tasso pasta which was cheesy and delicious, while my fiancé ordered the etoufee pot pie. However, he wasn't too impressed with the pot pie. And it was nothing wrong with it, it was simply a matter of preference. Being from New Orleans, we make etoufee differently. It tasted as if it was missing something, can't quite put my finger on it. Hesitant, we asked our server CINDY, to change out his order and she politely did so. He ordered the jambalaya pasta, which came quickly and was delicious. Cindy was so pleasant and polite, we appreciate her service. Afterwards, the service manager SHARON, came over to ask why exactly we didn't like the pot pie so they can improve. I feel bad because we didn't have any recommendations, it was simply a matter of preference. Nevertheless, the gesture of speaking with us was extremely nice. Oh i almost forgot! Compliments to the bartender, she made us a delicious and beautifully crafted Brandy Crusta (Grand Mariner & brandy). It wasn't too strong but just enough to get us where we needed to be lol. Andddd fiancé got a free birthday bread pudding! The staff here was nothing short of amazing, despite the small hiccup with the pot pie, my fiancé's birthday dinner was a hit! read more

Bon Temps Grill - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Great ambiance and good service! Delicious gumbo & the alligator bang bang is.. fire. Authentic Cajun Food!

Great food. Kinda like a finger food type of place mostly but great tasting food. Great job.

Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Sweet Potato Mash, Crawfish Etouffee Pot Pie, Asparagus, and Creme Brûlée Cheesecake - Excellent!! Server was friendly and competent! We'll be back any time we're in the area. It's 10-15 min off I 10 and well worth your time read more

It was most delicious. Definitely Cajun & Creole. Seafood is fresh. Plump. And cooked perfect to our Cajun heritage. Our waitress, Lillian, was knowledgeable with the menu and it's preparation. And attentive to our needs. I had the grits w sautéed shrimp and NOLA BBQ sauce. Yummie. Husband had the crawfish ettouffee pot pie w real LUMP meat crab at top. Ummm ummm good. The cooks did an outstanding job. The atmosphere was Comfortable and clean like I was in the country at my mamaws home. I sure miss that. We will go back fo sho. We had recently ate at BoneFish Grill by recommendation for its popular Bang Shrimp and grits w shrimp entree. These dishes were ok. But I did-not get the zing as I had expecting. I thought the shrimp were rubbery and tough. No Bang. BoneFish Grill 0 Bang. BonTemp Grill 5 vote star. read more

Jalapeño crawfish hush puppies are amazing!! The sweet chili and honey chicken was good too. Will definitely come back again.

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal! You should be eating here. Hands down, this was one of the best meals I've eaten in Louisiana, New Orleans included. I started off with the gumbo which is authentic and perfectly spicy. For lunch I had trouble deciding between dishes and my waitress recommended I try the blackened chicken pasta. It was amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and the pasta didn't feel heavy. It was perfect. I was stuffed but my waitress recommended I try the banana's foster bread pudding. She said she doesn't like bread pudding but this one was amazing. I actually hate bread pudding but she convinced me to try it and I could not stop eating it. Save room for dessert folks! This dessert is heaven. I can't wait for my return trip to Lafayette...you'll find me here. read more

Unbelievably good!!! Trust the reviews. I had the steak and it was THE BEST STEAK I'VE EVER HAD. (I live in Texas so I've had my fair share of good steaks.) our waitress was new but she was very attentive and super nice. The menu had everything. And everything sounded so good. I would 100% be back next time we are in the area. After having to flee Texas during the snowstorm, having quality food put us all in a better mood. Thank you Bon Temps! read more

When visiting Bon temps we were greeted and sat very quickly, which was great. We appreciated the speedy service. The place was busy and we sat by the bougie corner seating ambiance was fine. We ordered the crawfish hushpuppies, fried catfish mon dieu, and chicken and andouille gumbo. This is when it got bad. Hushpuppies was undercooked and overcooked. inside was mushy and outside was slight burnt and taste was bitter. The fried catfish was decent and light and crispy. The crawfish etoufee part of the mon dieu was not up to par, very under seasoned and it needed some help. The Gumbo was decent for a restaurant and not home cooking. The waitress was attentive. Another table sat next to us, and was greeted with a bread basket that was "forgotten" for our table. The other table also asked what could the server recommend, she started to say all the things she would not recommend, and they look confused and ask but what should we order instead. They were nice enough to remove the hushpuppies when the waiter asked if we had any questions. All in all, luckily we had a gift card. I hope it gets better. read more

My husband and I are passing through, and had the pleasure of enjoying an amazing dinner here this evening. Everything from start to finish was wonderful. Happy hour is 2-6pm and we took full advantage. I had the Strawberry Fields martini and a Lemon Drop martini. Both were fantastic. We shared a cup of gumbo as an appetizer, along with their garlic bread. For our entrees we had the ribs and Cajun jerk chicken. Our sides were salads and the jalapeño grits and red hot potatoes. I'm not even kidding when I say EVERYTHING was awesome! We have lived in Vegas for 5 years, and this was a meal to remember!!! We are on the way to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, but plan to visit bc we loved it that much! Our server was Heidi and she was phenomenal! Can't wait to come back for another amazing evening!!! Thank you for the amazing service!!! read more

Love the local owners, great service and menu. Used the party space to host a family wedding rehearsal dinner.

We discovered Bon Temps Grill when it first opened on Verot School Road years ago. It was great then and is even better now in their new home on Pinhook. Always great food and service! We miss all of the Blue Dog artwork from the previous establishment, but that obviously couldn't be helped. When you come here, no doubt you'll have a Bon Temps! read more

If you are ok with a VERY loud establishment then the food is GREAT! We had the 12 Napkin Roast Beef Sandwich, Cuban Sammie, and fettuccini Alfredo. Fettuccini was different tasting and even had a brownish color- not what what we are used to, but the sandwiches were delicious. Waitress and hostess were all very friendly. read more

I went here based on the raved reviews and man am I glad I did! This place tasted way better that the ones in New Orleans. I ordered NOLA shrimps & grits and my daughter ordered the shrimp & Tasso pasta. Both of our food were super flavorful and has that Cajun kick! I'm not really a pasta type of guy, but man the shrimp and Tasso pasta was the best pasta I've ever had in life. I will have to travel there again just for this restaurant! read more

Did not disappoint! Had the hush puppies with the shrimp and grits and it was off the chart! Finished with bread pudding. Very rich , but worth it. read more

Food came out fast and was very good. Staff was friendly, while still being responsive. I had the crawfish pot pie and would order it again. Would certainly come here again if ever working in the area. Plenty of options to try. read more

I liked Bon Temps Grill. Service was good, atmosphere was nicer on the inside than you might expect. Their Chicken & Andouille Gumbo was good...nothing more, nothing less than what you'd want your gumbo to be. Their NOLA Shrimp n Grits looked fantastic and while they were good, the flavor did not match their look. The preparation was more of a BBQ Shrimp style than other Shrimp n Grits I've had in Louisiana. They were saltier than I would have liked and with a few tweaks, they could be great. I saw potential here and when passing through, I would stop by again and explore more of their menu. read more

Food was less than expected. Atmosphere was unimpressive. The bartender didn't seem to be excited about being at work.

This used to be Blue Dog several years ago. It's not anymore. The people were great but the food was so-so. I wouldn't eat here again

Stumbled upon this gem of a place. Excellent food, wonderfully prepared, presented and seasoned. Had gator (great!) and duck legs, seafood-stuffed mushrooms, crawfish pot pie (wow! What a crust!), and creole Cobb salad. I was repeatedly amazed at the size and quality of the crab chunks, shrimp and pork belly, and how well they was complemented by the slightly spicy sauce, grape tomatoes, cooked and raw onions, and greens, Service from Amanda was excellent and attentive. Diner-type feel, with 70s background music. Most highly recommend to everyone. read more
