Came here to try some Cajun food since it's my first time in Louisiana. We had gumbo, stuffed mushrooms, shrimp tasso and the catch of the day. Menu items were good, but the fish was great. It was Charged and cooked perfectly. People who don't like fish should try it here! read more

We visit Lafayette annually for Festival and try to find at least one good local restaurant for dinner. On the advice of the bartender at the hotel where we were staying, this year we decided to dine at the Bon Temps Grill. Kudos to our bartender for a great recommendation. The Bon Temps location appears to be in a primarily residential area, definitely not in a central business district. It proves that great food can be found in out of the way places. We were promptly seated and taken care of by a very charming young lady that continued to provide great service throughout the evening. The menu has many of the Cajun greatest hits, jambalaya, crawfish pot pie and more. We opted for the boucherie board for two. We received a carnivores dream with three kinds of sausage, grilled tuna, sirloin, ribs and spicy grilled whole shrimp. The boudin was truly some of the best I have ever had, very mild without a strong liver flavor. The sausage with Steen's syrup was fantastic dipped in the mustard that accompanied the board. The best of the whole thing may have been the grilled tuna. For sides we opted for the braised Brussels sprouts and the jalapeno cheese grits. The grits may be been the only thing that was not truly great, a little surprising for a southern restaurant. If you really want something to talk about when you get home you must try the bananas foster bread pudding. Fantastic, that is all that needs to be said. The Bon Temps Grill is worth the effort it takes to find the place. read more

It was a great dining experience as far as the ambiance and people. We had a fabulous waitress, Lorena. Our drinks and appetizers(Stuffed Mushrooms and Meat Pies)were spot on. I got the special(Red Snapper) and it was luke warm and they had given my friend well done prime rib instead of med. rare because they had run out and not communicated that to our waitress. We had a great time in spite of the entrees not being up to expectations. We would give it a second chance for sure. read more

When you see a full parking lot, you know it must be good! The host opened the door & greeted us like we were her personal guests. There is something nice about southern hospitality! We ordered fish & chicken & everything was delish. The appetizer board was excellent! Desserts were good, too! read more

Hands down for me, best crab cakes in town! Heaven on a plate!!! The rest of the food is spot on too!! I've never had a bad meal here, and once they even made me fresh potato chips that weren't even on the menu! read more

Boyfriend and I were looking for a new brunch spot in town and we found this place not far from the house...TOTAL WINNER in our book. We went for Sunday brunch. Got bottomless mimosas and were surprised by complementary garlic bread. Ordered the cheese toast with pepper jelly as an appetizer and WOW can't believe they made something so simple taste so good! We had the grits and grillades and crab cake bennies; both were delightful. Live music was a plus, but we were sat right next to the stage so it was pretty loud. Can't wait to go back! read more

Crawfish pie is the best I have ever had! Boudin links also amazing - frogs legs came in a tasty sauce. Chocolate cake was great. read more

Got the Chili & Honey-glazed chicken and I liked it, but the chicken itself was a bit dry and tough, and the marinade was good but there wasn't enough of it. However, the Jalapeno Cheddar Grits were off-the-charts delicious and I would definitely recommend a person eat here simply for that amazing side. The chicken also came with some garlic bread which was delicious and really powerfully garlic. read more

Amazing !!! Best gumbo I have ever had in my life! Sausage platter! Yes! The chicken sausage was surprisingly good! The sweet sausage was great and the house made boudin! Shrimp and sausage jambalaya pasta was great, good flavor, pasta was a tiny bit overdone but everything else was literally perfect so no complaints! Nice! The bananas foster bread pudding left us speechless! Just amazing. Service was outstanding! read more

A must-eat location in a must-eat city. I dine at this delicious gem every time I visit Lafayette and have never regretted one bite of Cajun cuisine I've tasted here and am consistently jealous of the next plate I see at the bar and sad my stomach isn't bigger or that I don't live closer. read more

Bon Temps Grill - Special the last time I visited - including the BIGGEST jumbo shrimp I've ever seen. And I e seen my share of shrimp. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Waiter, Corey hooked us up with some awesome recommendations of the Cajun/Creole specialities. Great service, great etouffe, and shrimp and grits. Would have loved to partake in the bottomless mimosas on Easter Sunday but this road trip it's too long. Bon Temps for sure, y'all! read more

WORTH THE DRIVE OUT FROM LAFAYETTE :) This Fun funky local place surprised us with upscale creative food at reasonable prices. The chef here knows how to prepare fresh seafood and Cajun favorites with flair and elegance. BBQ Alligator Doria was a delicious combination of grilled alligator, boudin, and cheese. Crawfish pie was a rustic-looking dish made of a generous serving of freshly made crawfish étouffée topped with a homemade flaky pie crust. Shrimp and Tasso pasta featured fresh shrimp and local Tasso ham in a richly flavored Cajun cream sauce -- YUM. Bananas Foster bread pudding is TO DIE FOR and serves FOUR -- REALLY read more

The crabcake here is on another level. Best crabcake I have had in the Lafayette area. The salad dressings are housemade. You cant go wrong with their seasonal berry vinaigrette. For my main course this time, I had an almond encrusted trout with crawfish etouffe; absolutely superb. There is some spiceness present in their dishes, but it's not overwhelming. The entire ambiance stays consistent down to the flavor of their food and eclectic style of the wait staff. Tres Bon Grill is a hidden gem of the Lafayette area. read more

First, our waiter (I think he was an owner or manager) was one of the NICEST servers I've ever had. He was very charming, polite, and enthusiastic about the menu. Second, the food is amazing! I had the duck drummettes and the sweet chili and honey chicken with mashed sweet potatoes. (Not to mention I sampled a little bit of everyone else's plates!) I was blown away by everything--especially the bread pudding. Goodness gracious! The almost-gourmet food feels slightly mismatched for the mom-and-pop Cajun restaurant atmosphere, but don't let that stop you from trying this gem out! read more

This place is nice for family reunion. Food here is ridiculously amazing although the restaurant is not so modern looks. I like their banana pudding so much. Highly recommended!!! read more

Bon Temps Grill - Amazing banana pudding. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Just left the Houston bbq and wanted something on the light side. I had the Grilled tuna with veggies and sweet potatoes. Very good. The last time I had a stuffed quail that was excellent. read more

Great service from Amy. Ordered an alligator dish which was excellent. Dined with a friend who is a vegetarian. Amy was extremely accommodating and went out of her way to provide options that weren't necessarily on the menu. The end result, he was very pleased with the pasta dish they created for him. Seating could be better. Quite a few of the seats were mixed, where part of the party would be on a cushioned bench, while opposite were chairs or stools. At our table, this put me a few inches lower, which feels just a bit awkward. No military discount. This does not influence my rating, but I like to include it in my reviews as it might help someone on a limited budget decide where to eat. read more

I will drive completely out of my way to visit this little jewel! I have almost exclusively gone with the special for the day and have ALWAYS been delighted. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, helpful and friendly staff, and a great bar - this is the place for you! (Oh...and definitely get the sweet potato mash...it's AMAZING) read more

Food was very good! Service was as well. I had the grilled to perfection split pork chop stuffed with boudin. My husband had the crawfish étouffée. Great experience. read more

Amazing food and service!!! One of the best meals we have had. It's a good thing we are from out of town or I'd be here every day! It made for a perfect date night dinner. We had the steak carpaccio for an appetizer and the meat board for two (I dont recall the name). It was absolutely amazing and some of the best ribs and tuna I have ever had! It easily could of been split with 3 people also. We left more than stuffed and will definitely be back! read more

I enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant, very excellent Cajun vibe, the garlic bread is also very good. The service is quick. The greeting into the place isn't very executed well. I don't seem to be excited upon walking in, the fryers are under seasoned, it bland on the inside. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone, and exceptional! read more

I came here after looking at a few reviews and I certainly made the right choice. The service and the staff were amazing, great suggestions on both food and drink. The crawfish eoutfee was amazing and I can't wait to come back. Also don't miss out on the craft cocktails at the bar, I had easily the best old fashion made untraditionally with tequila. read more

This dining experience was awesome! I haven't eaten much Cajun food and my waitress explained all the different items. I couldn't decide so I ordered the Shrimp and grits, bird and andouille gumbo, and sausage and boudin plate. It was all delicious but the shrimp and grits were out of this world! read more

I was blown away. I came up to this place not expecting much and even, ready to back out. But, wow. They had me at tuna avocado tartar. And then the andouille! Friendly staff and great blueberry lemon drops! Overall, just a delightful experience. read more

I was so looking forward to eating here and took my Godmother for lunch for her birthday in early October. She ordered the Prime Rib sandwich, which was a joke. What was brought to her to was a three inch thick piece of dry leather on a po-boy bun. It looked like it had been cooked the night before and was used for this sandwich. It wasn't even prime rib. We brought it to the waitresses attention and to their credit, they did give her another sandwich to go. But if it wasn't good the first time, we didn't expect it to be good the second time, but at least it was actually prime rib this time. If you can't do prime rib right, then take the $14.95 sandwich off the menu. I had the red beans and sausage and it was also not very good. Really wanted to like this place, but it's a no for me. read more

A must for locals and out of towners!!! Found this place by accident and glad that we did! Friendly service with an upbeat feel if true Cajun culture. The crawfish pot pie is authentically fresh and delicious! My colleague enjoyed his budin as well. This looks like a great night spot. Kira was knowledgable and genuine rewinding the best to us. read more

Bon Temps Grill - Crawfish pot pie. Piping hot and loaded with crawfish! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN ALL OF LOUISIANA!!! I will have dreams about this sausage for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend the Boudin plate for an appetizer-- three creole staples in one great dish. Don't miss the red hot mashed potatoes either. This gem is tucked in a residential area about 10 min off I10. It's a must for all humans anywhere near this place. Life changing! You must go! read more

I googled for a place for us to eat lunch as we drove from New Orleans to Houston. It's a little off I-10 but a good break from the driving. Delicious food, everyone was super nice. I wish I would have been able to take some dessert to go but not possible since we were getting back on the road. read more

Great atmosphere. Locals love this place. I thought it was all good except the gumbo wasn't to my liking. Probably just me

I love this restaurant! I love the menus and especially the alligator bang bang. Service is great and very friendly staffs. Definitely will come back ! read more

The MOST amazing crab bisque I've ever eaten! You have to go a few miles off the interstate if you're just traveling through, but it is totally worth it!!! read more

My husband and I love this restaurant and it is our favorite restaurant in Lafayette Louisiana. My husband is a chef and he thinks he is the best cook in Lafayette so he never wants to go out to eat because he thinks he can cook everything better and cheaper than everybody in town. However I have convinced him to try and go out periodically and this restaurant is by far his favorite in Lafayette. He loves the food here and this is the only place he will go out to eat with me. Otherwise I just go out to eat with my girlfriends because they don't complain about the food like he does. We recommend this restaurant to anyone who comes in from out of town and whenever we have guessed we always bring him to this fantastic restaurant so they can try out the food here. Did I say we love this restaurant? Well we do. read more

Staff was great but the food could have used more within the portion, and the food was simply ok for the money.

Whenever we make a trip, we eat at one place that Siri dictates. These places are generally AMAZING. BTG is no exception. Upon entering I was a bit taken aback by the size-it's mighty small. Don't let that fool you though, this place packs a flavor punch to be spoken of for years. The redfish with garlic cream sauce was spectacular, as was my husbands bacon burger. Juicy beef and clean, fresh fish. I can jive with that! Give them a try if you are drawn this direction, you won't be disappointed! read more

Stuffed mushrooms were fantastic! I would come back for those over and over if I lived here. I also had the shrimp and tasso pasta and a French 75 to drink. Enjoyed them all. Server was attentive and gave well educated menu suggestions when I asked. When I left I forgot my box of leftovers and the person who bussed the table ran out to the parking lot to catch me. Great experience. Will return on my next trip to Lafayette. read more

Delicious, fresh food with prompt, cordial wait staff. I went here with our waitress who was remarkably polite and fun to talk to. The atmosphere is hospitable, and the crab cakes were exceptional. This is the first restaurant I've been to where I've liked a dish featuring alligator meat. This restaurant is a good choice for anyone craving Cajun and seafood. read more

Had an outstanding meal here last night. The highlight of our meal was our server, Lily. She was everything a restaurant should want in a server, friendly, solicitous but not hovering, enthusiastic, and very proud of the restaurant and the menu. She said, "I eat here as much as I work here, so ask me about anything." The atmosphere was very inviting. The menu was a problem because we basically wanted EVERYTHING. I ended up ordering the fish tacos and a cup of crab bisque. (after Lily described them and made them sound irresistible). My son got a seafood and tasso pasta and a tossed salad. Another pleasant surprise was the bill. Even with two cocktails added on, our bill was $50 which is more than acceptable. We were happy with how spread out the tables were. In fact, while we were there, a gentlemen came in who'd planned to pick up his meal to go. But once he saw that everyone was so spread out, he decided to stay. He kept apologizing for being trouble but Lily made him feel welcome. Again, outstanding server. (Funny note--my son went in expecting to ask for a job application but, after seeing Lily in action, he said, "I can't do THAT.") Thanks for a memorable meal. We'll be back. read more
