My husband had the ribeye and fried noodles and I had the 1/2 & 1/2 etouffee. Both were wonderful. The steak was great with no sauce or addition, just their signature spice blend grilled onto it. And my crawfish & etouffee...wow. The coating on the crawfish was like none I've had before. Light and airy and oh so crunchy. A delight for the mouth and taste buds! The etouffee was so tasty, just the right flavor and spice. Even their tea was perfect. Lastly, the owner and employees were absolutely attentive and entertaining. We had great conversations and attention. We absolutely love this restaurant and will come here anytime we're nearby. I even bought their signiture seasoning blend! Wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

Really enjoyed the festive atmosphere with lively Dixieland jazz music playing in the dining room…read more Ordered the Boudin Stuffed Pork Chop with side of mashed sweet potatoes & the jalapeño cheese grits. Overall great flavor though the grits were very dry like they had been baked on the plate and had a crispy crust on the outside. They tasted good, but I wasn't expecting that texture. My mom ordered the flounder with cream sauce and sides of potato salad & mashed sweet potatoes. She said she really enjoyed it. They also served a bread basket of thinly sliced salted garlic bread before the meal. We ordered a slice of the chocolate doberge cake to take home which seemed a bit more like French silk chocolate pie with a chocolate cake bottom. Tasted delicious & very rich. Our waitress was very friendly. Plenty of parking spaces outside. They have a large bar area too so seems like it would be a fun happy hour spot after work.

Billy's in Lafayette is one of those places I have to stop at every time I'm passing through. It's…read morebecome mandatory at this point. We tried a few different bites, and everything was exactly what you want from a spot like this -- flavorful, fresh, and satisfying every single time. Food: The food is really the main attraction here. Nothing overly fancy or trying too hard, just consistently good food that delivers every time. Everything we tried was solid, and it's the kind of place where you already know you're leaving happy before you even order. Service: Service was smooth with no issues at all. The staff kept things moving, and the experience was easy from start to finish. Ambiance: Billy's has that classic Louisiana stop-through feel to it. Nothing extravagant, but it doesn't need to be. The food speaks for itself. Overall: Not much to rave about besides the food -- and honestly, that's all it needs. Billy's is officially one of my can't-miss stops anytime I'm driving through Lafayette. I'm never passing this place up.

I was super excited for this place because I haven't had boudin in so long. I got cracklins,…read moreBilly's Boudin and the smoked boudin. The cracklins had a little bit of fat and meat on them which I wasn't used to. I'm just used to the fried crispy skin. It tasted more like fried/seasoned pork belly. The seasoning is really good though. My favorite boudin was Billy's more than the smoked one but my fiance liked the smoked flavor more. I wish we took pics but we just ate it in the car. The casing was a little tough to bite through so I sliced it and scooped out the insides. Although the Billy's boudin is good, I don't know if it was good enough to drive from Texas for it. I need to search for more places while I'm here.

The rice and beans were good but luke warm so took away from the experience The highlight for me was the ettoufee. It was the best I had in a very long time. Creamy and decadent.

Went last night…read more Driveway & parking are rough, glad we were in a JEEP. The boiled crawfish were "medium" size & still expensive. Advice: Call ahead & go early. The seasonings except salt are applied to the outsides of the shells after cooking. So Cayenne gets on hands, eventually on lips & nose, then eyes. Just order "regular/mild" and season with the dipping sauce. We never do it that way at home. The underlying problems are from difficult crawish crop & supplies, for several years now. All the crawfish places are experiencing this. Overall, this has been an excellent place for boiled local seafoods. Will wait to try again in a few weeks. The shrimp are fine, "A-OK", & a bit less expensive.

We decided to try Cajun Claws as it seemed busy enough that it must be good - nope!…read moreThe boiled crawfish was not only overpriced ($40 for 5 lbs) it seemed really dirty & no flavor sadly. The snow crab was just ok, definitely no sweet flavor that I normally taste. The mushrooms you can add for an additional charge (and the waitress raved about them) were terrible. They were the type Chinese restaurants put in their stir fry which definitely do not belong in boiled seafoods! The good part was the corn was really good & the potatoes were cooked properly. Unfortunately- sorry we even went here & wasted my money! I really wanted to support the restaurant, however; I personally won't be returning.
