26-07-02 menu p1
Macs R W.

We come through Lafayette perhaps twice a year, and hit up Bon Temps about half the time. It's always an extremely satisfying experience. The menu items are inventive, and seem to turn over regularly. The crawfish pot pie, the crawfish enchiladas, the shrimp and crawfish étouffée, and even the side dishes are unusual and always outstanding, as ate the service and the hospitality. We always have a good time.

Good food, but the wait was rough. We had reservations and still waited a long time to be seated, and the meal came out late -- including the Caesar salad arriving with the main dish. Great flavors, but the reservation system needs work.

Blackened chicken pasta
Jen C.

So tasty! I had the blackened chicken pasta, and it was fantastic. So flavorful and a giant giant portion. Also came with some garlic bread, which was tasty, but the pasta was so filling, I didn't eat much of it. Ordering online was a little frustrating as I placed the order about an hour ahead but when I arrived, I was told it wouldn't be made until I got there, so I had to wait longer. The food was so tasty that it was still worth the wait.

Meatloaf Po-Boy
Mary D.

This used to be one of our favorite stops in Lafayette, when this restaurant was at its old location. I've never warmed up to it at the new location, probably because they took the Boucherie Board off the menu. We visited on a Sunday at our friends choice. One of our friends got the bottomless mimosas and a couple in our group got the bloody Mary's, which they seem to enjoy. My friend got the meatloaf which she enjoyed and another of our party got the shrimp tacos which she asked for fried shrimp instead of grilled and they were able to accommodate her. I think she enjoyed her lunch. Now I have to tell you that my husband is a Poboy snob. He really shouldn't ever order a Poboy anywhere but in New Orleans because he is very picky about the bread, but this was not even close to Poboy bread. They should call it a fried shrimp hoagie because the bread almost resembled a hotdog bun, but it was more like a hoagie bun. I think the shrimp was cooked nicely, but my husband said he would never order that again. I ordered the crawfish étouffée. In Lafayette, I think you should be run out of town if you can't make good étouffée. This étouffée tasted OK. It was a little bland, but the sauce seem to be made correctly. What I didn't like was that some of the crawfish were a little gray in color which leads me to believe that this was frozen or leftover étouffée that was not made that day and they added in a handful of fresh crawfish tales, which were bright and fresh and color. It tasted OK and it didn't make me sick or anything so it was OK, but that is the highest praise. I could give it if you are a restaurant in Lafayette, Louisiana, you should make a fresh batch of étouffée for the Sunday brunch crowd. Now, maybe they were having a bad day, maybe the chef didn't show up or he had a late night. I understand this happens with restaurants sometimes which was why I didn't give them a lower score.

Crawfish Etouffee Pot Pie
Ashley S.

After scouring high and low for food recommendations, we came here because it seemed to be one of the most popular locations to grab Cajun food. We came at 4:30pm on a Friday. It wasn't busy and we took advantage of their 2 for 1 happy hour. We started with the gator bites appetizer, which I highly recommend! From there it was tough for me to pick what I wanted so I went with the crawfish pot pie. The inside was cold. I was disappointed. The flakey crust was warm, so I'm not sure how the inside was cold... but I wouldn't get it again. Also, food seemed to be lacking season. Something I didn't expect for Cajun food.

Shrimp and Tasso pasta  Chicken penne pasta cream sauce
Tia B.

Tried this place while in town for a wedding atmosphere was good very welcoming. Food was delicious. Service was just ok I think we might have had a new server he didn't really seem to want to give us suggestions and when we asked questions he just looked at the menu and read us what was there which we could do ourselves. But all in all very good and would go back again.

Under dressed salad and for 18.00
Pam B.

Sat down and it took almost 14 minutes to get a server to even take drink order.. salad was not even dressed and lettuce was old and brown.. 3 o'clock in afternoon barely any plp and a ton of waitress .. no excuse.. never coming here again

Alligator bang bang
Melissa H.

Chelsey L. was an excellent waitstaff!!! Sweet. Helped us with best suggestions. Always had our drinks topped off, and checked on us a lot to clear things and refill bread or drinks. Ask for her if you can! The corn (and crab?) bisque was 10 out of 10! Soooo delicious. Served hot and perfectly seasoned. I could eat 2 bowls of that alone. So tasty. Their alligator bang bang appetizer was so tasty. Crispy crust and drizzled with their awesome house sauce. Highly recommend. 10/10 Their jumbo lump crab cakes were also very tasty. Excellent bake/fry on them. And loved the sauce it came with; just enough spice to it without being overpowering. 9/10 (because it was just 2 crab cakes) Their shrimp po boy had a great serving of shrimp with their house sauce. The bread needed to be toasted more - it fell apart a little bit as it was cut in half. But again, great flavor! Shrimp fried to perfection. And that house sauce is great, a little tangy, a little spice, and really yummy. 8/10 The Bon Temps chicken salad - decent serving. The dressing was THICK. If you like that, great! The salad eater doesn't like thick dressing so they dipped their salad into the sauce to have the flavor. 8/10 Loved the ambience. Loved the music. The workers there were super nice and outgoing. Highly recommend!

Food so good, best Cajun food I have had that matches my appetite. Right salt level and flavoring. Service was amazing from our server, the place was very nice for family and friends setting. Will come again if ever back in LA

First time in Lafayette came across this restaurant... amazing food, sweet waitress and one hell of a drink. Everything was delicious

We had a decent meal at Bon Temps. The waiter was extremely helpful and friendly, and assisted with some recommendations. We started with the crispy crab cakes as an appetizer and while it wasn't lump crabmeat, the crunchy texture combined with the soft shell or blue crab inside was a nice combo and the white sauce was delicious. Prior to ordering the main course, my waiter was nice enough to let me sample all three sauces in addition to sampling the crawfish etouffee which I appreciated. I decided to go with the blackened flounder over safe sweet potatoes. I found the flounder a little too salty and the portion was on the smaller side but I loved the brown sauce and the salsa. My friend ordered the mahi mahi and while he seemed to enjoy it, it tasted rather bland to me. The waiter gave us some garlic bread to get us started and we enjoyed his pleasant demeanor as well as the restaurant's vibes. I'd say a three star meal elevated by an excellent waiter (strapping broad-shouldered young lad of 25).

No drink on this ticket from what I see, I'm tired. I definitely ordered it, I didn't receive it. Delivery said they weren't given a drink.

Try their burger

Can you wear jeans here? Is that considered underdressed

I had jeans and t-shirt. Plenty of people came in with shorts and flip flops. You may feel overdressed lol.

This came up in my search for vegan food in Lafayette but I am unsure as to which items are vegan?

Is this place dog friendly?

I doubt it

Are they gluten friendly?

Better know your gluten diet nothing is labeled as gluten free but gluten free options abound.

This is one of my Wife and I's top 5 favorite places in Louisiana…read more Their menu as far as apps and main dishes go can fluctuate. More specifically their flatbreads and loaded fries, which I do not currently see on their website. Most of the time they have loaded fries which in the past have consisted of gravies and sauces. One preparation we ordered came with pickled okra. The fried green tomatoes are also very good, especially to start with or share. As far as main dishes go we have tried the following: All Hail Caesar (Flatbread) Spicy Chicken Sandwich Smoke Fried Chicken-N-Biscuits Social Cheeseburger The Mac n Cheese is a must get as a side in my opinion. One of the first times we visited they had carrot cake as a dessert, we still talk about that carrot cake today. If you are a sweet tea lover this place has a twist which I love. Their sweet contains brown sugar and mint, get it, try it, it's delicious.

Food and drinks were amazing! We will return…read more Had the burnt ends for an appetizer, and let me tell ya, I could eat that for breakfast lunch and supper every day! My steak was cooked perfectly and was tasty tasty tasty. Fries were hand cut and crisp. My wife had the shrimp and grits and, holy cow, that was delicious! The sauce on her grits was to die for! I stepped it up a notch by dipping my bites of steak into her sauce and my mouth was exploding w delight! If you're a bourbon/whiskey drinker, they have more than enough options to choose from. My wife had a smores flavored old fashion, and it was just up her alley. I had a house old fashioned that was just right. We will definitely return.
