The pork chop was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, incredibly tender, and honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. It had a great char from the grill that added so much flavor, and the pickled peppers on top cut through the richness of the pork perfectly. The dirty rice underneath reminded me of my mom's rice dressing and soaked up all the juices from the chop. It was one of the best pork chop dishes I've had. My wife ordered the smoke fried chicken, and it was also excellent. The crust was crispy while the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato biscuits were light and delicious, and the pepper honey tied everything together nicely. For my taste, it leaned just a little on the sweet side, but it was still a very enjoyable dish. My daughter ordered the Social Cheeseburger with just meat and cheese. She loved it, and I was impressed too. Even with such a simple order, the burger was juicy, well seasoned, and served on a fantastic bun. She and my wife both could not stop talking about the hand cut fries. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the best fries we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We left very impressed and will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in the Lafayette area.

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.

It's not necessarily my favorite place to go simply because of the price, and at times I do feel that some things are a little overpriced for what you get. That being said, they know how to cook a steak. The ribeye cap is my favorite--it's around $78, which is certainly not cheap, but it is absolutely delicious and worth trying if you want to treat yourself. The oysters are always good, and the crab cakes are delicious as well, although I have occasionally had to watch out for small pieces of shell in the crab meat. Overall, Café Josephine is a really good restaurant with excellent food. If you're looking for a nicer meal, don't mind spending some money, and want a great steak and seafood experience, it's definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for the price tag. The service is always top notch and the environment seems to be always loud.

Today just wasn't Mama's Fried Chicken's day for me. I was expecting more based on all the great…read morethings I've heard, but the chicken was a little underseasoned. The corn nuggets were definitely the highlight; they were really good. My Coke was a little flat, and the fried Oreos were disappointing. They honestly tasted like I was biting into paper, so they weren't worth the money. Everyone has an off day. I'm not writing them off, and I'll definitely give them another chance. Hopefully my next visit is a much better experience. The worker at the counter (can't remember her name) was friendly, respectful, and provided great customer service. They were welcoming and made the experience pleasant despite the issues with the food.

We got the 8-piece dark meat chicken only, plus a biscuit and a medium rice dressing, and it was a lot of food for two people. The chicken was super juicy with a little kick of spice, crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. The biscuit was bigger than your average biscuit--soft, buttery, and really good. The rice dressing could use a little more flavor. It reminded me of Popeyes, but with its own unique touch. Definitely worth a visit!

So I've been here before but I didn't get to enjoy it, so after a few years I found myself with…read moresome free time to drive back out here and truly have company I could enjoy with. I'll start with the cons bc it's not that much- the line for seafood can get long bc of how the buffet is set up. If the ppl in front move along you can get through fast. If not you'll have a wait. Due to the location of the door and the hot food side a couple of flies might be trying to find their way in the door to get to a couple of the goods. Pros- seafood was plentiful and good. Crawfish could have used a little more spice but not bad at all. Snow crab were great. They also have Jonah crab but I don't eat those. Full seafood buffet on Saturday and if you don't want to wait too long, get there an hour before and join the waitlist on their website. Worth a drive down. Price wise for 2 with drinks cost 100 bucks so be prepared if bringing a large party. Can order off the menu as well.

We ordered fried oysters with fries, grilled catfish with salad with ranch dressing, and onion rings. It took 30 minutes to get any food. We got there around 12:20 so we were way after the lunch rush. I didn't get any salad dressing but Maddie came back and asked what kind I wanted. Within 10 minutes she brought us our check, let us know she was leaving and gave us the name of who would take care of us. No offer to get us anything else. Glad we weren't wanting any ice cream or a shake, because apparently we were not going to get offered that either. Maybe it was an off day. The food was good though, I think, because I was so hungry when it came that I pretty much inhaled it. You know how when you go to a fast food restaurant they have trash receptacles on the dining room floor? They have that here too. And unfortunately, we sat down next to one. If I'm able to post a photo, you can take a peek.

We didn't have any particular place in mind for lunch knowing that there are a few great options but wanted to try a place where the locals eat so here we are at Ruby's. This town has a lot of history and Ruby's Cafe has been a big part of that history. Parking is pretty easy in this part of the historic downtown district so it was only a matter of crossing the street to get to the entrance, this small cafe was pretty busy but we were able to seat ourselves without a wait although arriving here a little after noon some of the daily plate lunch specials were already sold out- but we managed after our friendly server let us know what was still available. We ordered the pork tasso and sausage with rice and gravy with candied yams and sweet slaw and chicken fried steak with a spicy brown gravy on the side with corn and again an order of candied yams. The food here was amazing, a little like eating at momma's place, this is legit cajun fare and if you haven't had a chance to sample this unique cuisine this would be a great place to start in my opinion. The sweet tea is freshly brewed and the service is outstanding and definitely a place I'll return to when in the area or within a reasonable driving distance - this place is definitely one to bookmark...

We got here not too far after opening. There was a short line and it moved quick. I ordered my items and sat down to hear my name. When I opened the plates I knew I was in the right place. The fish is fried perfectly. The chicken as well though I could have used a little more seasoning. Sides were good. But that turkey wing. My hubs took one bite. Looked at me and smiled. I knew it was on. I don't even really like turkey but I would eat three of those happily for thanksgiving. If you see the turkey wing get it! Can't wait for my next trip back.

They only had a few meats left when we got there and one of them was the stuffed turkey wings, which was highly recommended. It was cool, but nothing like I expected. I thought it would be packed with flavor, but I needed that Louisiana red rooster hot sauce for the extra flavor which I thought would have been marinated in the meat. The star of the show was that okra seafood stew. That was a 10 out of 10 for me! We got the cabbage, but I have never in my life had sweet sugary cabbage. That threw me totally off! My brother loved it and it's definitely an acquired taste. Not for me at all. We had about three hours till closing, and there was a small line so the place does great business and people love it. If I were ever back in Lafayette, I would definitely come back to try something different.
