    I knew when I saw Lil Wayne behind the bar at Mercy Kitchen that I was gonna like this place. Can we talk about the freaking decor here??!! It is just absolutely STUNNING. There is no place like it anywhere in Lafayette. Good luck concentrating on your dining companions because you will be so busy checking out the funky vibe you might get accused of ignoring them. Oops. I mean just everywhere you look there's something spectacular to see. Not only in the restaurant but outdoors as well-there's a oh so instagrammable (is that a word?) truck outside on the patio complete with a DISCO BALL y'all. I just love a disco ball. Not only that, taking a nod from Nola, Mercy turned the restaurant into a house float for Mardi Gras. That's a first in Lafayette and hopefully a trend that catches on in a big, big way here. As for the food, everyone raves about the Hangover Salad so I tried that and yes, the raves were justified. Make sure you have plenty of space to take tons of pictures on your phone and get yourself to Mercy Kitchen as soon as you can!

    We were looking for lunch after a busy morning, and decided on Mercy Kitchen which was a first for us. Nice space for parking, which was nice. Inside was warm and inviting, as we were greeted and sat quickly, you have a choice of regular seating, or seating in the bar area. The iced tea was refreshing and had a good flavor, the mock cocktail midnight Gucci was amazing. I had the shareable steak and frites, and the sweet potato frites were great along with the skirt steak, which was very flavorful, the mercy burger was really delicious, the beef the tomatoes, and sauce compliments each other, we chose the Mac and cheese with this, so creamy, cheesy and noodles had a nice chew. Love how you can pick your sides, will definitely recommend and return.

    Articulated and Delicious The food here is just fabulous. Everything ghat we have tried was so deliciously flavorful and all had different homemade accompanying sauces/butters that fit so we'll with the food. Presentation was great. The charcuterie tray was presented to our table with a solid pink sea salt board from the Himalayas I believe but may be wrong. Rubbing the meats upon the surface imparted a mild salty taste. Just wonderful. I wouldn't recommend children (young) but my 8 year old will love this. Pricing is good (some may say high) but the quality and quantity well keeptye price fair.

    This place has great atmosphere and really good drinks. The food is well flavored and comes out looking great. My server I think her name is Cameron was very well manor and was great at her job. I'll go back. The truffle fries can become addictive, hangover salad leave will leave full.

    The restaurant is small but cozy. Is very nicely decorated from the inside. The salad that I tried was good as well as the drink.

    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.

    Food and drinks were amazing! We will return…read more Had the burnt ends for an appetizer, and let me tell ya, I could eat that for breakfast lunch and supper every day! My steak was cooked perfectly and was tasty tasty tasty. Fries were hand cut and crisp. My wife had the shrimp and grits and, holy cow, that was delicious! The sauce on her grits was to die for! I stepped it up a notch by dipping my bites of steak into her sauce and my mouth was exploding w delight! If you're a bourbon/whiskey drinker, they have more than enough options to choose from. My wife had a smores flavored old fashion, and it was just up her alley. I had a house old fashioned that was just right. We will definitely return.
