Was in Lafayette for a doctor appointment and we chose this spot for lunch based on the reviews. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were good and strong. Will visit again when I'm in Lafayette. read more

We ordered sausages and boudin, crawfish etouffee, and gumbo to go... everything was awesome. Staff was extremely friendly and professional. Five star review. read more

Best grilled boudin I've ever had and I'm from Louisiana. Steaks was smooth and tasty! Kids loved their food as well.

My husband and I were in town one night. Found restaurant on yelp. Food good, waiter good, and guitar player good. Would go there again. Had blackened flounder and prime rib sandwich both very good. Tried Roasted Hatch Chili Boudin Balls. Very good. If in the area we would recommend. read more

I ordered the Mesquite Grilled Reddish $14.95 with the Satsuma Creole Meuniere Sauce. For my sides I got the Sage Sweet Potato Mash and the Jalapeno Cheese Grits. The red fish although it was flavorful was a little over cooked but palatable. The sage sweet potato mash was pretty good and the jalapeno cheese grits we're just okay. Overall the meal was good at a very good price. Despite the restaurant being empty our server was missing in action for the most part. All in all I would come back again because of the other workers at this restaurant and the food was pretty good read more

Any meal that starts out with toasted garlic bread makes me happy. Plus a nice selection of local beer served ice cold whoo hoo! So I went with the crawfish etouffee...size of a soup bowl and loaded with crawfish.!what a home run! It's big enough to split especially because it comes with a side and of course the bread to boot. Nice local place, clean, friendly and tasty. Enjoy! read more

Awesome place which just got better with a new awesome location!

Delicious. Amazing prices. Super flavorful. Wonderful customer service. Would venture to say I enjoyed this place as much as Mr. B's in New Orleans and for a fraction of the price! We shared the Turtle Soup which was bursting with flavor, super meaty and warmed the soul. Tad bit spicy which was a nice touch. Also had the crawfish pot pie. Um amazing crispy browned phyllo crust with creamy homey crawfish etouffee underneath. Last we had the Trout Almondine. The fish was cooked well and had a beautiful crispy brown crust. The sauce was delicate and creamy. The fingerling potatoes were deliciously roasted and tender. Great atmosphere. Fun music. Good to bring family (we brought our 4 & 2 year olds and our infant). Also great for a fun date night. read more

Awesome place, worth the detour to eat and head back out east or west! Crab cakes, gator and duck were good! read more

Service is five stars even with my moody mom. They said it was a 10-20 minute wait to be seated inside or we can sit outside. I look to my parents, they said outside is fine. It wasn't quite hot yet so we sat down and ordered appetizers and two entrees and sweet iced teas. The appetizers came out and the sun was blasting its heat on so that we had little shade left. When our entrees came out, they had a table open up inside but by that time my mom was furious that she had to sit in the sun even though she said outside was fine so we go in with the entrees and she just gets up and goes to the car prompting me and my bf to scarf our food down to go ASAP. The swamp legs and sausage and boudin appetizers were delicious. Perfect sweet iced tea. The shrimp po boy was yummy and I'm not sure about the loaded bacon cheeseburger but my bf downed it. I recommend waiting for a table to eat inside in the a/c :) but thank you to the staff for putting up with our shenanigans read more

We came here for a quick lunch and found the parking lot full...a good sign. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated...a pleasant surprise considering the # of cars in the lot...but I guess many folks were finishing up. Our waitress was super nice and had a big grin...truly showing she liked to work there. I wish I could remember her name. She complimented us on our selections. I had the shrimp and grits which was very very good and a meal for me...even though it was in the appetizer section. My girlfriend had the alligator/duck legs...it was called "swamp" something...can't remember...but she liked them too. She had a chocolate martini and I had a "Ragin Cajun" beer which was perfect for the hot/humid weather...so you now know they have a full bar. I plan on stopping in here again on my next visit to Lafayette. read more

It's rare that you can take 11 people to dinner and everyone be super pleased...we all loved our dinner! From steak to salmon or pasta to mahi mahi, everything was delicious. The garlic bread to start is a nice touch and it was warm and flavorful. The side house salad was perfect and the house spicy ranch was superb! Definitely will go back next time we are in town. Friendly accommodating staff and excellent service! read more

Bon Temps Grill - Mahi Mahi was delicious! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Mary and I stopped here on our way back to New Orleans from Avery Island (Home of theTobasco Factory.) This seems to be a locals place and we really enjoyed our meal. We started off with their Bon Temps Sausage & Boudin Board Appetizer. This was an array of Louisiana's best sausage and boudin, grilled and served with sliced French bread, charred red onion aioli and creole mustard. It was very good. For our main entree's I had two quail stuffed with Boudin with sides of Sweet Potato Au-gratin and Brussel sprouts. Mary had their Appetizer Crab Cake with a side salad and Cole Slaw. I was surprised to find that with my meal I didn't have to worry all of the small rib cage bones you normally find when eating fried quail. Evidently these go away during the stuffing of the Boudin. The stuffed quail was wonderful and I'd have it again. I would like a boudin with a little more spice however. Mary really enjoyed her crab cake as well. The staff here were personable, quick, and made our visit here just that much more enjoyable. read more

Went based on reviews (4 1/2 stars) and I just don't get it. Staff was friendly, atmosphere was good but shrimp and grits, gumbo, and fish tacos were disappointing. read more

Good food, rustic decor. Reasonable pricing. Service is friendly and prompt. I've been to a wedding where their catering was used and I was impressed. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place. It used to be really good and recommendable but the last time we visited, we were extremely underwhelmed. The crab dip was fine but the alligator bang bang was awful. It was over cooked to begin with, and the bang bang sauce did not taste like bang bang sauce. The homemade Caesar salad dressing tasted bad, and the lettuce was wilted. I was really looking forward to the jalapeño grits but unfortunately it was more like jalapeño corn meal and completely inedible. The Crawfish enchiladas were probably the only redeeming dish that we ordered. I hesitated in telling our server how dissatisfied we were, but she could see it all over my face. She sent the manager over, who really couldn't give two craps less that we were dissatisfied. However, he did offer bread pudding on the house. After waiting for said bread pudding for 10 minutes after paying our bill, our poor server, after apologizing profusely, had to go to the kitchen and prepare it herself for us to take to go. Certainly won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Absolutely delicious meal. I have no complaints. The service was amazing, the food was even better.

Thank you so much to the 2 bartenders (I forgot their names, I wanna say Payton and Stan??) I think! I appreciate them so much, some guy was CREEPIN on me & I am not from LA, (I'm from WA state, just visiting for a couple days) and they really saved me cuz who knows what would've happened! They also gave me wonderful advice on Louisiana and everything. The food was amazing and they made my experience great! They deserve RAISES And I loved the live music btw read more

Nice little restaurant. Service was good. The only thing is that no one wears masks. We asked and we're told they haven't had COVID cases but we still opted for having lunch in the patio. It wasn't hot so we enjoyed our meal. Everything was yummy!! read more

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

Environment is great. Genuine food. Get the crab cake appetizer! Kitchen was backed up so we waited around 40 minutes for our food. I did order a dish that takes longer to prepare though, and I'm assuming a 40 minute wait is out of the ordinary. read more

Great local hotspot and live music too. Definitely worth checking out if you are new to the area and want a little local flavor.

Ate there while our daughter was in town playing softball. Everything was great from the service to the food. Would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area! read more

Wow! This restaurant was awesome! I ordered speckled trout with crawfish and satsuma creole meunière sauce on a bed of their sage sweet potato mash with a side of braised brussels sprouts. They were out of trout and they asked if they could substituted salmon in its place. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I'm from the central coast of California and believe me when I say I know a well cooked salmon dish and this one was fantastic. My husband had the crawfish pot pie which he loved as well. Do yourself a favor and if your in the Lafayette area don't miss this gem of a restaurant. Bon Temps-we WILL BE BACK! read more

Bon Temps is the best Cajun food in Lafayette period. We eat here once every couple weeks. Our go to's are as follows Crab cake app- biggest and best crab cake I've had Seafood salad- one of our favorite salad's in Lafayette. Chicken wrap- lettuce chicken wrap with a peanut sauce it is very good and healthy. Pot pie- been a while since we had it but it's great. Tuna app- usually it's one of our fav things on the menu, last couple times it's disappointed a little. Why only 4 stars and not 5 then? We had ordered to go food two times in a row and each time they had forgot multiple things. Christy (who's the manager and great) tried to make it right. When we dine in, the service is wonderful. Highly recommend. read more

The real deal, enjoyed every bite! Service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to go again and tryout other dishes.

Went for Saturday brunch. Enjoy the atmosphere and live music. You can order off the brunch menu and regular menu. The crab cake bennies were amazing! Service was excellent . Bloody Mary's delish! Overall a great place to brunch. read more

I've never been to this place before. I will check it out one of these days. I'm sure the community environment is super awesome!!

The best service I have ever received from a restaurant. Waitress was energetic and attentive, the manager or the owner also came to check up on us. We ordered blackened chicken pasta and the jerk chicken. Both were absolutely delicious! They tasted very fresh and the chicken was cooked to perfection-juicy and tender. Gator bang bang was a most try! ( don't worry, it tastes like chicken) read more

Great find! The atmosphere was great and so was the food. Our server, Josh, was kind and informative. The mojito was 1/2 off and delicious. I got the crab cake as my meal and it was wonderful. I would come back. read more

This place is a must!!!! Staff is so friendly, the restaurant is so cozy. The food is out of this world! Their Bloody Mary are spicy and so delicious. We had the stuffed mushrooms and the Nola Shrimp and grits as appetizers. OMG is all I can say. For entrees we had the crawfish pot pie and the grilled chili butter shrimp. Soooo delicious! Can't wait to go back again. read more

Service was excellent and food was good. My steak was slightly undercooked for medium well.

WOW! Bon Temps Grill is truly one of a kind. I honestly had the best Caesar salad of my life. We found out from the bartender that the salad dressings are all homemade, and you can tell! I also go the stuffed catfish dish and it was delicious. I will be back! read more

Bree was absolutely amazing! It made our girls lunch so special. Food was great, love it here!

I don't write a ton of reviews because most places are just mediocre or I'm it takes too much time to complain. BUT when you come across a diamond you have to at least give some props. Hands down, bed restaurant in Lafayette and probably one of the best for service I been to anywhere. I'm originally from New Orleans but live in Dallas and travel everywhere for work and pleasure. Let's just say I try and experience a lot of restaurants. I have been to Lafayette numerous times and never made it to Bon Temps. Ashamed to say.. but now I have. And I it will now be the top of my list when I visit again. The food is really good. But what sets this place apart from others besides great food... they have amazing service. The bartender was great. The manager was even better, the dude was on top of his game. This was the best service from any restaurant I have ever had in as many years as I could recall. And. They have great prices for their top notch food, and half price wine bottles on Tuesdays that you can re cork and haul back with you. Not only that , but they don't raise prices of said bottles , the house CAB was only 18, which means I bought a bottle of wine from a restaurant for 9 bucks. Never ever has that happen. Give them a try! read more

The jerk chicken was very dry, and the topping was way too sweet. The Alfredo did not taste like Alfredo. The prime rib steak sandwich was over cooked. Definitely should not be the #1 restaurant listed in Lafayette. read more

Hands down of the best restaurants in Lafayette. I always bring friends and family from out of town here for amazing Cajun food. The food is mouth watering and I don't think there's a bad thing on the menu. 12/10 would recommend. Especially the boudin sausage board for an appetizer and the banana fosters bread pudding for dessert. read more

Took friends from out of town during Mardi Gras. We had the poor boys, and salads. The atmosphere and service was great. The food was delicious. The crawfish pie looked delicious, will have it next time. Thanks to the bon temps grill. read more
