Ca c'est bon!!! I've been here twice, once while driving through and such a great experience, I…read morecame here again while staying in Lafayette. It was just as delicious as the first time! We had chicken and sausage gumbo, Pepper Jack boudin balls, bam bam gator bites and the blackened chicken pasta. The waiter this time was better than the waitress we had last time. He was very attentive and made sure we never had to ask for refills. The appetizers came out fairly normal time-wise I would say. The main portion took a little bit longer than what you're used to at a franchise restaurant but here that's perfectly fine as it's worth the couple extra minutes. The gumbo is perfect(I love when gumbo is not over complicated) I like to add a lil hot sauce to it and it's delicious... only thing is, while they already give generous portions... the cup and the bowl looked exactly the same except I think in the bowl they give you one extra scoop of rice... which would be just fine if it wasn't like $6 more. But still delicious nonetheless. The bam bam gator bites were really good and I highly recommend them. If you like bam bam shrimp you'll love these. The pepper jack boudin balls were good, nothing special but they were definitely worth the try. My co-worker had the blackened chicken pasta and when I asked him how it was he said "dude, it's really good!" lol. The building is pretty unique and they have some outside seating with a massive beautiful tree that over looks the restaurant and takes claim to some of the asphalt in the parking lot lol. But it's a great spot for birthdays, good lunch menu deals, casual date night or if you wanna blow some steam off, they have a little bar in the restaurant as well. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend. I'm from East Texas, so I'm no Cajun/Louisianan but they truly got some good grub here. I'll definitely be coming back several more times when I get the chances. I will warn you, I believe the food is freshly made so when it gets to the table, give it some time to cool off because it comes out HOT.

One of our favorite seafood restaurants! The fried shrimp poboys are a must have! I counted about…read more40 shrimp on mine! 9.99 for 1/2 a poboy. A delicious deal! The marinated, seasoned fried chicken (on the buffet Thursdays & Saturday nights) are outstanding. The shrimp etouffee is incredible but almost inedible, too much seasoning. It's fire engine, burn your mouth hot. And I love seasoned food. Customers must send this back frequently.

Stopped here for their Sunday lunch buffet on my way to Lake Charles, and overall, we enjoyed it…read more The food, for the most part, was very good and well-seasoned. The only thing I didn't really care for was the banana pudding, which wasn't sweet at all (did they forget the sugar)? The only reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a lot of flies. Also, I DO NOT recommend eating here if you have a long drive ahead of you, because you're definitely gonna need a nap afterwards.

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.

Before the season was over I had to make my way to crawfish country and Hawk's couldn't have provided a better experience. Granted due to unforeseen circumstances I had to get them to go as I had a long trip ahead -- they were fantastic while on the road and even at home after reheating them so I can only imagine eating it fresh on site. Pictures speak a thousand words and as you can see they are clean, giant and did I say clean? Meat is cooked just right, sweet, and plenty of the good stuff when you take the head off. Do yourself a favor and just go.

We got the gulf crab fingers appetizer, which are perfectly fried and come with a remoulade with a little kick of spice.

I love that they work with other local artists and small businesses in the area and even have a list of their local sourcing and vendors in the area. Service is fast and friendly and the prices are great!
