There is a large bar area and seemed well stocked. Service was not unfriendly but definitely more on the ambivalent side of things. Almost felt like I was bothering them to order. I dined in but after waiting for my order at a table with an assigned order #holder. When the order was ready, a lady just dropped off the bag with food prepared to go left the table number on the table and just walked away. Maybe they just cater to regulars. I had a cheeseburger onion rings and a bottle of tea. Including a 20% tip it was right at $20. I didn't really feel welcome and won't return.

The portions are always plentiful, enough for most people to share one plate. The fried food is always fried to perfection. The portions for the price are unbeatable!

Always very pleasant & now that my mom has gone back many times they have made it a point to remember her. As other reviews have said, don't let the outside fool you! This place is a MUST TRY!

I was excited to try out this local restaurant, especially based off reviews/rating. Well, there…read morewent my faith in reviews! My two sons, three others and I walked in to see a sign that said "Please seat Yourselves"... as we did. About 5 - 10 minutes later, we double checked the sign because honestly, it felt almost deliberate how we were ignored. After not being acknowledged AT ALL by the waitress who checked on the three tables next to us MANY times, or by anyone else working there who clearly saw us, I went up to the bar after another 10 minutes to ask if we did right to seat ourselves. The worker behind the bar said that "she" would be with us shortly as she was only one on floor. SHE (waitress) continued tending to nearby tables without even so much as a "I will be right with you." We waited several more minutes before she came by again with her back to us, tending to another table, as one of the girls softly got her attention. She basically shrugged at her saying something quick which we didn't hear clearly but something about being a minute. Then she did not acknowledge anyone else and turned her back again...THEN...we left.

Food is AMAZING of course, but I was a little disappointed in the fact that the doors to the patio…read morewere closed, and I always look forward to sitting on the beautiful patio. I asked if they'd be able to open them and the reason given was they closed them due to customers complaining about the heat. It was around 7:30, the sun was setting, I then let my waitress know that I was cold and I sat on the patio to not be cold. She said she'd ask but they most likely would not do it. This problem is not that deep but I am anemic & I don't think its fair to us who sit outside for the sun and warmth to have to be cold due to the people who can just sit inside if they're too hot‍

The Chime was an absolute highlight! My bartender was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable,…read moreand genuinely great to talk to. He recommended several local brews and food options, and somehow we ended up having one of those conversations that makes you feel like you've known someone longer than five minutes. We talked about traveling, different beers, Louisiana, Ohio, Atlanta, and everything in between. My favorite part of the conversation had to be hearing about the brewery owned by three Japanese women who live in Brazil. That's a story I definitely wasn't expecting when I sat down for a drink! As for the food, it was incredible. I had the seafood gumbo, which came loaded with a crab cluster and crawfish tails, and I also tried the blackened alligator. Both were amazing and full of flavor. The atmosphere was great, the beer selection was excellent, and the service made the whole experience even better. I genuinely can't wait to go back to The Chime! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. 6/5 from me!

Not worth that wait time, that's for sure. We will not be coming again for brunch or with a larger party or probably ever again honestly.

Who Put My Catfish in Witness Protection?…read more This place used to be one of my favorite spots in Broussard. Great atmosphere, great service, and my family ate here so often they should have considered putting our name on a booth. Unfortunately, the menu changes have turned this into a completely different experience. Let's start with the catfish. Somewhere between the old menu and the new one, the catfish fillets entered witness protection. What arrived on my plate looked less like catfish and more like a collection of heavily breaded suggestions of catfish. I've seen french fries wider than these strips. If there was actual fish inside, it was hiding better than Bigfoot. The spicy shrimp wrap also appears to have retired from the spice business. It now contains enough pepper jelly to qualify as a dessert, and so much of it that the wrap becomes a soggy engineering failure halfway through eating it. Then there are the onion rings. Calling them onion rings feels generous. They looked like someone lost a ring toss tournament and served the equipment. The frustrating part is that I genuinely loved this place. I live nearby and used to come here regularly. I even tried reaching out through the website before posting this review and never received a response. I hate leaving negative reviews, but somebody needs to stage an intervention for that catfish. This is Acadiana. We have standards. And right now, that catfish is filing a formal complaint against whoever approved it.
