The server was very friendly, helpful and efficient. I had gumbo and my wife had a dessert. Both were excellent. The ambiance was also good. The music was at a reasonable volumn unlike the trend in a lot of restaurants. Overall a very enjoyable experience after a long day. 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

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

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

Good Cajun food and great service! We will be back to try some different things on the menu

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sat at the bar, good drinks, food, and bar tenders. I was out of town and came for dinner. Good vibes and comfortable spot

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

Bon Temps Grill - Crawfish enchiladas, delicious! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

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

We ate here a few months ago. We ordered apps and entrees. The place wasn't busy when we arrived. believe there was live music, which was cool. The meat pies were good but nothing amazing. I ordered the Praline Chicken salad and again, it was good but nothing special. The service was fine. Bathrooms were clean. Overall, it was a reasonably priced nice place to dine. read more

Each visit gets better and better! Came here with my family and truly enjoyed my experience. It was their first time in Lafayette and they really wanted to try Alligator. I had the alligator po'boy my first visit and knew it would be a hit. The alligator app was a table pleaser and the crab dip was demolished in mintues! The seafood cobb was more than filling. It was so good read more

We really wanted to this place to be great. We arrived around 1:30 pm. We were seated quickly and our server was lovely and addressed us promptly. We placed food orders and then it all went downhill. The food took an extremely long time. The alligator bites, recommended by the server, were soggy ( a combination of too much sauce and not a hard enough fry on the breading). The skewered shrimp was way too salty. The sides were okay. Their signature sweet potato mash was probably the best thing served to us. We also had the seafood salad. The shrimp were cooked but really needed more time in a pan to get color. The crab was dried out and, although described as lump, was more like the chipped left overs at the bottom of a can. And not a ton of ruffage for a salad item. The bill total for one app and two brunch entrees with ice tea was $71. We did tip 20% because it's not the servers fault. We did not attempt to rectify any complaints because it was clearly a lack of skill or will in the kitchen. I wanted to leave a better rating. The venue is cute. The ambiance was fine. There was a fantastic singer performing. But the food took an incredible amount of time coming out, and for the value, it wasn't that great. Not to mention, we had to make emergency stops for the bathrooms in less than an hour of eating. read more

Wow!! I thoroughly enjoyed the food here!! I had the blackened chicken lettuce wraps with a side of grilled asparagus..OMG..DELICIOUS!! They have a plethora of menu options, so there's something for everyone. I really like the vibe. There was a cool band playing while I was there, which was awesome. I really liked this spot. I'll definitely be visiting again!! read more

Great food and service here. The menu has a big selection of Cajun food and other kinds as well. If you're into crawfish, they have it in several dishes. I went with a group of friends and everyone liked their meals. I ordered the crawfish enchiladas and they were rich, creamy, and scrumptious. I also had the red potatoes with it. The food comes out a little slow but we were expecting it. The server was very nice and friendly so it helped! read more

Hands down this is the best fried catfish I have ever eaten after decades of my Cajun love affair. The etoufee was average at best but the crispy fish was sheer perfection. Asparagus was a tad blackened and sparse but good enough. Our alligator bang bang appetizer was excellent--crisp and sauced just enough with a good tang and not too much heat. The shrimp poboy was also very good and packed. read more

Crab cakes are creamy in the inside and crunchy in the outside, delicious sauce with just a bit of heat. The table bread is dangerously good- flakey, buttery, crusty and hot! Hubby had the seafood Cobb salad (light on greens for a salad) with BIG hunks of pork belly. I made my own: grilled chicken with pesto and two skewers of grilled veggies (turned out awesome!) We spilt a side of the jalapeño cheese grits. OMG, that's worth coming back to Louisiana for! Hubs is having a piece of the pecan pie. All and all, very tasty, accommodating, and delicious! read more

The crab cakes are to die for! Our Pokeno group goes there several times a year & always have a great time

We came here based upon reviews. Pulled in the parking lot and figured we made a good choice based upon the amount of people. We had a little bit of a wait to be seated but not to bad. We were seated in a nice cozy little booth. Our waiter was a very nice and friendly young man. My husband got the blackened redfish with cheese grits and asparagus. I just had plain fettuccine Alfredo. Both were good. We were given complimentary bread pudding. We are not from the south and bread pudding we've experienced in Washington state where we're from is mushy, gushy, yucky bread pudding so we were pleasantly surprised when it showed up to look like a cake with a crispy yummy top and ice cream on top. Well let's just say we didn't leave much on the plate. read more
