Must try something new here. As a Kansas City native, this is a delicious treat. Everything was delicious! Best service and greeted when we walked in! Lunch specials are so filling. Come enjoy! read more

Great meal at Bon temps. Half priced wine bottles on Tuesday nights. Have friendly and efficient service throughout the night. Really enjoyed the alligator bang bang bites as an appetizer and the crawfish étouffée as an entree which comes with two sides. read more

Good food, decent service, dog-friendly patio. We went at 6 on a Thursday and it was pretty much empty. We sat with our dog on the back porch. My wife had the crawfish enchiladas, which she really liked. I had the crawfish etoufee, which was good but I didn't find the roux to be particularly brown with strong peppery flavors, like I prefer. The service was a little slow, given that the restaurant was empty, but we weren't in a hurry. All in all, it was a good dinner though not what I'd call amazing Cajun food. read more

Came for brunch but mainly the live music only to find music was cancelled due to whiney people. Bring back the music and hand out earplugs for the whiners. Hostess left something to be desired! Food great as always! Service provided by Izzy, delightful and funny young lady. read more

Very pleased with the food. Kind of loud atmosphere with cajun music great for kids. Lovely corner booth. Our party shared crab dip and mini meat pies. The fish selections were nice and hubby tried the speckled trout. Chicken with satsuma meunière sauce was nice. The satsuma gives the meunière butter a nice tangy and slightly sweet flavor that would also pair nicely with the fish. Our server was very attentive. Prices were very fair and food was nice. Steaks werent cooked at proper temps so would probably not suggest steak at a cajun restaurant. But overall good experience and we will be back read more

garlic bread is amazing. great service and very welcoming staff. fast service and cute restaurant

Very friendly, bubbly but largely incompetent waitress. After taking our orders we never saw her again for over 30 minutes. Kitchen staff brought the food and quickly left. My friend never received his side dish. My chicken was so dry it was hard to even cut. She finally returned with the checks well after we finished eating. Then as we are getting ready to depart they bring out the bread. Very disappointing! read more

Made reservations for 6 in the dining room. Day of reservation received two text messages reminding us of reservations. Arrived and was told no tables available. Put us at a high top table in the bar that was sticky and dirty. We saw some available tables in the dining room and asked that two tables be moved together for us. Manager told us that was not possible and that he could only put us on a waiting list for the next available table. Told us there were no other options however restaurant wasn't that busy. Food was good but not fabulous. Mango salsa was left off of a fish dish and one entree did not have the corn grits. Too many great restaurants in lafayette to be treated this way. read more

I've visited Bon Temps Grill on a number of occasions. Every time I've ever eaten there the food is next level delicious, waitstaff is friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable about their menu. On the one occasion that I was left waiting a long time and food was served cold I spoke with management and he made everything right and really took care of us so I will assuredly return and enjoy another dining experience. If you want a delicious taste of Cajun culture and enjoy some unique items that are not offered at most other Cajun restaurants. I highly recommend Bon Temps Grill! read more

We loved the food and service here! Everything we had was delicious! We had the salad with field greens, crunchy chicken, strawberries, Gorgonzola, granola and delicious praline dressing. We had the cheesy crab dip! The gumbo was tasty but really spicy! The cup was a huge bowl! My husband had the house special which was a mahi mahi with a spicy honey glaze and grilled shrimp and smashed sweet potatoes! He loved it! Our waitress was fantastic! She knew the menu well and gave us excellent service! We loved the crispy garlic bread that they bring you after you sit down! So good! Highly recommend this restaurant! When we were first walked it was fairly empty but then it filled up fast with several huge parties but the service was still excellent even with these large groups! read more

We stopped at Bob Temps Grill on our way to Houston. It was amazing! We had the bang bang alligator bites. Definitely a must try. I had the chicken salad which was beautifully presented. My friend had the shrimp tacos and was very pleased. She's a California native so it passed that test. My other friend had a special which was rice and gravy with steak tips. She was definitely satisfied. I would definitely return to this place while traveling through Lafayette! Our waitress Joanie was super friendly and efficient. Kudos to the staff. read more

Pulled in about 5pm. Greeted and seated right away. The place was decked out in Wonka decor they are doing a charity event for Grief Counseling for children. Kenzie was our server and was so helpful, patient and kind. On her recommendation we tried the Jalapeño and Crawfish Hushpuppies appetizer and they were the most amazing things I have tried in a long time. Flavorful and paired with a remoulade that I would be down to drink it was so good. We split a Gator Bang bang poor boy the only negative I have to say about that was there was no kick that I would classify as a spice/kick but the Gator was cooked perfectly. I paired that with a Gnarly barley Jucifer IPA and it was delicious and well priced so I didn't feel guilty having another. My daughter ordered the kids Gator Mac and fries not your blue box Mac but quality scratch Mac. I was shocked to see it was only 3.95 and it turns out we were given an old menu because it was not in fact 3.95 but 6.95. All in all I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

It was awesome! Best etoufee ever! Mon Dieu was fantastic and boudin balls we're superb!

Food was really good. Never had crawfish enchiladas, definitely worth the experience, felt a bit overpriced though, but great tasting nonetheless! read more

This was the best restaurant I visited on a recent trip to the Lafayette area. The atmosphere alone sort of reminded me of a Mexican restaurant, even though the food is cajun, or a derivative of it, at least.. It helped they were having an event the night I visited, and all waitresses and several employees were dressed up, and there was live music on a Tuesday evening, early. I tried the ceviche, trout entree with mango salsa, and the chefs fresh catch, which was a thick fish filet, I forgot the exact fish, but it really hit the spot with the Satsuma sauce. I also added a cocktail as part of the event, which was on special for like $5, I couldn't resist. It was their version of a chocolate martini. It was well worth the price. I did skip out on their raffle that evening. I really wanted to try the desserts, but I ended up skipping for next time. I had another spot picked out for dessert in another part of town. Service was superb, even though the restaurant was sort of packed by the time. read more

I went here because it has decent rates on Yelp! I sat down at the bar around 6P for an early dinner. The bartender was a younger guy that said he was going to school at UL. He was very cordial and made some menu recommendations. He said his favorite item was the Crawfish enchiladas so that's what I went with. I got maque choux and veggie skewer for my sides. The enchiladas are very rich and cheesy. They don't look like much when they come out in a serving boat but I struggled to put them both down because of how rich they were. It was the first time I'd tried maque choux. It was pretty good and had a little spice. The veggie skewer helped cut back on the richness of the enchiladas. I don't make it to Lafayette often. The next time I'm in town I don't think I'll make it a point to come back. I might use Bon Temps as a fall back. read more

Very good food, and very good service. We took a chance and were pleasantly surprised with great choices of good food and great deserts. Our server, Justin, was helpful and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. THANK YOU to the DOUBLetree, Lafayette, La for refusing us service (because, in spite of expecting two bus loads of people, they had only one cook, 2 servers and could not handle more than three tables at a time. They did, however, have THREE Hostesses!). Well, our recommendation is to skip DOUBLETREE entirely and to enjoy the hospitality of Bon Temps! Doubletree has a lot to learn about running a hotel! read more

Spent the day with my daughter sight seeing in the cute city of Lafayette. Some friends told me about this restaurant-actually they raved about it so I had to try it out. They were right-it was really good. We had this dip which was well seasoned and full of flavor. I was too full after to get a large entree so I had a cup of chicken and andouille gumbo (yes-for my people from south LA-you can eat it-it's like they make it at some of your "people's house"). LOL It was actually a teensy spicy for me but my daughter did not think so. Our servers were awesome and gave us some info on the history of the place. I'll definitely go back when I'm in Lafayette again! read more

Traveling through from Colorado to Florida the long way, we had a craving for some decent Cajun. We found Bon Temps Grill, ordered at least 5 items on the menu and everything was way delicious! Catfish was prepared as good as I've ever had. Étouffée, red beans with rice, crab cakes all were outstanding. Seasoned & prepared perfectly! One reason for choosing this establishment to dine was reading the 4 & 5 star reviews on yelp and Christy C., Business Customer Service responding to everyone's comments both good and negative. We had the pleasure of meeting Christy and know that this restaurant and their employees really care about theI customers. Looking forward to driving thru again. Bon appétit read more

This place is a solid 4 stars in my book. The food was your typical cajun cuisine, but not OMG my taste buds are doing the hoki poki. It is a very solid place for everyday eats though and the atmosphere is what really makes it enjoyable. Personally, I could have wanted a little bit more spice in the food, but it is good for most people. The waitress we had though was very attentive and gave great recommendations. I would consider this a great place to visit for an average night out with friends and family. read more

Stopped in for an after work cocktail. Kinda busy for right after 5 but that's a good sign. Typical south LA decor but in a good way. Cocktails were delish so we got 2 rounds before heading out. Need to try the dinner next time read more

Our hotel suggested without hesitation that we eat at Bon Temps. So glad we did. Easy parking, quick greeting, seated in a central location. The atmosphere was energetic and the place was clean and clutter free. We had a couple of staff getting drinks and appetizers- alligator, that was very tasty, cooked perfectly! The catfish étouffée was delicious! Crispy, almost half inch thick meat; the étouffée was fresh and full of shrimps. Service was great! Plenty of time to eat our appetizer and then didn't rush us at all when we had finished our meal. Great meal at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed the live music! I'll be back when visiting the area for business or pleasure. read more

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

Lunch after day one of a soccer tournament, we Yelped restaurants and Bon Temps Grill popped up with good reviews. Thought we stop by and give it a shot. We stopped by around lunch time on a Saturday and it was busy but not crowded. Food was good, not a fan of the complimentary garlic bread, but it was not bad either. The kids enjoyed it! Main thing is our server Jason, he was awesome! He was honest about the menu, and gave us his recommendations on hot items to choose. He was also very patient, and attentive. Thanks, Jason! We'd definitely stop by again if we find ourselves in the area. read more

Gosh, this place feels like eating in a Disney Cajun-land restaurant. Everything was fine, nothing stood out. Waitstaff was great and kitschy decor was fun. Next day we ate at Rita Mae's in Morgan City and we might as well have been in another universe; authentic and delicious in every way. read more

Called in ahead and were seated immediately for Mardi Gras dinner. There was a live band, they asked if we wanted bar seating or further back--we said further away and they seated us in a back room, REALLY AWAY from the music. Got the alligator bites, and were also served table bread. Never had alligator, but it tasted just like chicken. The batter was nicely seasoned. Ordered a Manhattan, it was actually a bit tasteless. It's not on the menu so I asked if the bartender would be able to make it. It didn't taste like there was any kind of vermouth in it. Tried the crawfish etouffee with the grits and brussel sprouts. Etouffee was really delicious. That sauce was flavorful, with a little kick in spice. The crawfish tails were a bit small. The rice though, wasn't cooked fully. The grains were still hard in the middle. Ended the meal with their chocolate cake. Perfection. Service was also excellent. read more

We made reservations and were seated immediately, our server was wonderful, very attentive and friendly. The bathrooms were clean, and the live music was very cool. The food was amazing! The alligator bites had a good breading to meat ratio and the sauce was amazing. The crab cakes had a very solid, crispy breading shell, but they were great. The Blackened Chicken Pasta was delicious! The rest of our party loved their entrées as well. Seems like you can't go wrong with anything here! read more

Great food! Best service! Makensie was kind, quick, and very attentive! We will be back from Texas. Thank you!

We had high hopes for some tasty Cajun food-it sure looked tasty but..... Disappointed for sure! Somethings wrong in the kitchen!! Grits were cold, corn tortillas cold and dry. Etouffee pot pie was tasteless with no crawfish or shrimp in sight! Waitstaff was fine. We would not return! If anyone there asked how our meal was I would have shared this with them. Coffee was hot and fresh so appreciate that. read more

First time to Lafayette and received several recommendations for this little gem. So glad I listened as it was a wonderful experience. From meeting the staff and their fabulous Southern hospitality to the absolutely tasty food. Definitely a full 5 stars!! The overall atmosphere is warm and so cute. Live music on certain nights and a side bar to the restaurant. I had the Catfish topped with Crawfish Etoufee. Pecan pie to go and even Alligator. Jason was a most gracious host and took time to invite me inside as they weren't open yet but allowed me to wait at the bar. He also went thru the menu with me and made several recommendations. I honestly can't wait to come back next time I'm in town. read more
