Prejean's Broussard was an amazing Cajun experience! We just ate there and it answered so many questions about real Cajun cuisine! First of all, there are a whole bunch of free parking and it was easy to find this restaurant. The atmosphere was low keyed and subtle, not loud and rambunctious. We were seated immediately, even if we were early for our reservation and our very friendly and helpful server, Jaslyn, was awesome! She suggested to start off with a delicious strawberry margarita and it was a home run! Perfectly blended garnished with both a lemon and a lime slice. We ordered the Prejean's seafood platter, which hit all the marks. Catfish filet, oysters, crawfish, alligator, shrimp, hush puppies and fries. Everything was lightly battered and not the least oily. We also had to try the chicken, andouille sausage gumbo and the crab cake vermilion which were so delicious! But, the highlight was our extraordinary server, Jaslyn! The was the epitome of southern hospitality with her sweet, unassuming personality! The next time I'm in Louisiana, I'll be back at Prejean"s! read more

We drove two hours from New Orleans for an Authentic Cajun experience in Broussard, LA. The food was more expensive than NOLA restaurants and not as tasty. The portions were big, though. The Cajun "band" was one country singer covering pop country song with a karaoke track. We left feeling duped. No wonder there was no one there but us and the singer's girlfriend. read more

We stopped here while traveling on the recommendation of a good friend from Lake Charles. We were a little early for dinner, so there wasn't much of a crowd, and we hope to come back when there is live music because we loved the ambiance inside. Our waitress was very friendly, and made a great recommendation of the duck gumbo and Canebrake draft beer - I loved both of them! All of our food was delicious, especially the boudin flatbread and duck gumbo, and the green beans were perhaps the best I've ever eaten - very tender and well seasoned. I can't wait to go back! read more

The duck gumbo was amazing!! Definitely going to get some to take some back home to San Antonio!!

Customer service was good, the restaurant was clean. The food was just okay. I was with a large party but the food came out in a reasonable time. We had appetizers and drinks to keep us occupied. I had the "Cat 5" Hurricane, it was juiced down, more juice than liquor. Pretty drink but disappointing. I had the 1/2 & 1/2 platter with fried catfish and grilled shrimp. I also tried the chicken cracklin and crawfish nachos. Everything was just okay. read more

Prejean's Broussard location has held-up well and has become a regular stop for us. The genre is highly competitive in this region, with very stiff nearby competition. So, consistency is critical, and Prejean's has met & passed the tests. I like the basics like fried shrimp platter, hush puppies, cheeseburgers, gumbos, etc. Others in our parties have sampled the menu with great results. Our Son had a steak for his B-D a few days ago, & declared it very good. Plenty parking in large private well-maintained aggregate lot. Clean restrooms. Mercifully, the bar, entertainment, & noise are kept in a separate part of the building, so meals are enjoyed in peace. Can be very busy on Friday & Saturday nights. Mostly locals. So far, this has been a "no-miss" dining choice. Do try Prejean's. Rick read more

We had gater bites and the boudin flatbread and both were excellent! Bailey was super friendly! I will definitely be back!

Love this place! Service is great food is consistently goo... what more could do you want?

Excellent Cajun seafood restaurant! First time Cajun experience for our whole family and they enjoyed the gator bites, seafood platter and gumbo. Friendly, welcoming service. read more

Waitress was funny and the shrimp and grits were rich and authentic . I left quite full

Service was great. Food was ok. Look not trying to be negative, but we are not returning. I had a catfish platter. I have ate way worst catfish or mystery fish before however this catfish had such a awful & strange smell, that I could taste it. I can't quite pen point the smell. Maybe it was not fresh, either way it stunk. It was very very heavily breading &very season, like they are trying very hard to cover up the smell/taste. Child's hamburger was either soy or very very cheap ground beef. The Fries are cheap little greasy tasting ones. Hush puppies were awful joke. We are sad the "old" prejean's is gone and this is its replacement. Overall: High prices and low quality. Wish we could support local but will not return. read more

What a great stop. Happy they had a full bar and a great menu. Large parking lot with parking close to the entrance. We were greeted when we arrived. The decor at this establishment was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Lots of places to be. We chose to sit at the bar. We were greeted promptly and our drink orders taken. They Just opened so they're so the Margarita machine was not yet 100% ready, so I ordered a Long Island instead. Trying to decide on what to eat was like picking your favorite fish in the ocean. I settled on shrimp tacos and was very happy. My husband had the sampler with oysters and was thrilled with the spread. Overall great food and drinks for the money spent. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Great news the Margarita machine froze up and I was able to sample before leaving. Great start to the day! read more

I see a lot of mixed reviews but EVERY time I have had the Crawfish enchildas, they are perfect!! It's a great place to eat and live music on Friday and Saturday nights! I have never had bad service here. I am trying a couple of new things today, so I will get back to you! :) read more

I wish they had one of these gems in Houston. It was the best food and we had a great waitress. We tried the fried green tomatoes, and I ordered an item off of their brunch menu. To die for! Cute small town vibe inside and a bunch of cute LA merch to buy. read more

Fantastic experience, almost perfect! The service was very friendly and even though the server was overloaded she still checked on us, brought us refills, etc. We got: crawfish enchilada (a MUST get, an incredibly delicious dish), shrimp and grits (delicious! The grits were seasoned so it was delicious even if you ran out of sauce) and the boudin flatbread (this was a miss for us, you couldn't taste anything but the strong sauce they put on it). I would absolutely go again and recommend it to others! read more

IT'S HERE! The second location everyone has been waiting for. This prejean's has a far more limited menu than the Lafayette location, but all the favorite's remain. I got the Cowboy Catfish which was great as usual. It was pretty slow, but was also late on a Tuesday. Service was great, a lot of rollover from the previous restaurant/bar that was in the same location. Give this location some time to catch on. Their current patio is great, but they have plans to expand for their indoor music scene as well. read more

My dog Lucky and I stopped here on our road trip cross country to Colorado. The shrimp po'boy was so good. the bread even better. After lunch the owner stopped by and we struck up a 25 minute conversation. Jokingly I suggested I was adopted, because that's how welcomed I felt. Highly recommended stopping here. read more

Met up with some friends while visiting from out of town. We had our 3mo old with us and this was the first time I've had a restaurant give us a little stool for his car seat. It was brilliant. The food was also really good. It was my first time having alligator and I could've gotten another plate for myself. Not sure what the sauce was but YUM! I ordered some sort of seafood pasta and I was too full to eat it all after the alligator bites but the leftovers were just as good the next day. read more

What a fabulous Cajun place. The crawfish crab cakes are incredible. Chicken Crack Crack is so delicious. Anything fried is lightly breaded, not too heavy. Duck gumbo is the best of their 3. Outside dining with the live band is great. Good music and atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

The shrimp Poboy is one of the best boys I've had in a very, very long time. The french fries were cooked to perfection crispy outside fluffy inside the lettuce and tomato in the poor boy were fresh and crisp was an absolute perfect dish. read more

We really enjoyed having a lighter dinner at Prejean's! Service was great, easy to find and open seating on a Monday night. The stuffed mushrooms and gumbo were the star of the show. This is a great place to stop for some Cajun specialties! read more

So after waiting a whole hour for food (they had a big party come in). I got the worst shrimp sandwich (it ain't a po-boy if it's on a hoagie roll) I've ever had. A 6" hoagie roll with 5 shrimp, half slice of tomato, and core pieces of lettuce. Just a horrible dinner. I'll only go to the Carencro place from now on. read more

Yummy Louisiana seafood. Cooked with a kick! Great service and rustic ambiance. Worth the 15 minutes from Lafayette. My mouth is still buzzing from the Catfish and Oysters! read more

Food and atmosphere was great! Service was a little slacking due to our server having to cover our table and outside tables. Management shouldn't being making people cover two areas. We had a table of 10 so people we were constantly needing things like drinks refilled, etc., and it took them a while to get our food out because our server wasn't always around due to her covering tables inside and outside. I saw plenty of servers that could've jumped in and helped out. I only give it a 4 due to that reason. The food was on point and delicious! read more

Best Cajun/Creole food in the world ! Always super delicious ! Madie was our server this time. She was super nice and made great suggestions ! The catfish is so incredibly fresh ! You can taste the fact that it literally came from just up the road ! The crawfish etoufette is amazing ! Get the bread pudding fried. You won't regret it ! This location is smaller than the Lafayette location, which makes it cozier ! Service is speedy. Even bought the cookbook they have for sale up at the front. We will be back ! Highly recommended ! read more

The food is some if the best in Acadiana. The ambiance was comfortable and made the entire event pleasant . I have had family gatherings and s retirement party there. read more

Scheduled a reservation for Mother's Day. When we arrived, the restaurant said that they could seat us but it would take up to two hours before we received any food. read more

I'm visiting from Florida and Came to the area to visit family and had the absolute most amazing lunch. Our sever, Jamie, was so personable and friendly. She made some great recommendations. My crab cake Benedict was excellent. All crab. (I only got a dab of hollandaise sauce so I asked for more which Jamie was happy to get) My cousin got the blackened catfish with crawfish étouffée...this dish should be award winning. As a foodie I've traveled around the country and this dish is by far the best dish I've ever had. Teens had chicken tenders to which they reported was the best tenders they have ever had. The crew was sweet and celebrated my aunts birthday. But thank you to Jamie for being amazing and fun. You made our time at Prejeans so much fun!!! And thank you for the house made pickles. They were....simply the best!!!! I don't know when my travels will bring me back but I'll be sure to come back. read more

Amazing food and service. We went three times in three days during our trip. One night they accommodated 60 people for our baseball party! Would absolutely love to go back if we are in the area. read more

I've been to the other Prejean location in Carencro, and it always gets the job done. How did the grand opening for the Prejean in Broussard do? Honestly, the exceptional food and top-notch service made my dining experience impeccable. Now, let's get down to business regarding the food. 1. Crawfish Nacho (Favorite) Louisiana Crawfish Tails Deano's Spicy & Cheesy Cream Sauce Tortlla Chips Pickled Jalapenos 2. Shrimp Trinity (FAVORITE) Shrimp & Grits Fried Gulf Shrimp Zydeco Stuffed Shrimp Green Beans 3. Fried Seafood Platter 1/2 & 1/2 (Fried Catfish and Fried Shrimp) with hush puppies and fries. 4. Seafood Gumbo (Gulf Shrimp, Crab, Louisiana Crawfish & Rice) cup size. 3. White Chocolate Bread Pudding House-Made White Chioceow cad Puding Whiskey Butter Sauce. (TO-DIE-FOR) I definitely plan to come back here next time I'm in town. Our waitress Ally and both GM Chris and Clare did a wonderful job serving us, too.

Food was amazing. Got the tuna power bowl I believe it's called. Service was nice and food came out rather quickly.

Food was really good! All dishes looked and tasted wonderful! Now the fried seafood, Brussel Sprouts, grilled oysters and specialty dishes were cooked and delivered hot! We went at 2pm before Mothers Day (Saturday), table for 7.... read more

Let's start this off by stating that 6 out of the 9 people at our table were in the service industry for over a decade, so this isn't some Karen complaint about crappy service. Absolute worst restaurant experience we have had in our lives. We made a reservation for two family members birthdays. Once we arrived at the restaurant, no one was at the host stand to greet any customers. Mind you, the restaurant was empty and it was 5:45pm. Once sat our server greeted us immediately. After our party arrived, the experience went downhill. The server when asked how the twice baked potato tasted was "it's a potato". After the appetizers our server started to be more and more sparse throughout our time there. Once again, empty restaurant. I noticed that every worker (server and kitchen staff) were all congregating around the kitchen entrance and the bar. There didn't seem to be anyone in charge at all. No GM or Assistant Manager. Once we received our food, our server never came back to the table until we were done with our food. When they asked if we would like boxes, we had to ask for them again after we saw our server playing with the birthday sparklers in the kitchen entrance while the dessert was being prepared. The bread pudding had a piece of ceramic in it as well, but that was the only thing that was free, so you know, no need to mention we almost broke a tooth over something that was given to us. The icing on the horrible experience cake was getting robbed for gratuity for a server that didn't do their job. If I assume correctly this server made close to $60-$70 off of my family's table for doing absolutely nothing other than screwing off and hanging out, occasionally doing something. Once again. Maybe 3 tables sat in the entire restaurant, and there were at least 3-4 servers. I understand when there are a certain amount of guests at a table, there is gratuity added, but that is to make sure the server is adequately paid for the service they provide. Often it's to make sure they get something for their time and work when it's busy. It was not busy, whatsoever, the entire time we were there. No one in our party of 9 will be returning or visiting the other location. I'm sad that people not from our state go here to experience our culture. I wish I could give less than one star. read more

Excellent food. Great service. Highly recommended. I had the snapper and it was cooked to perfection.

We stopped by on Friday morning and they were open. We live in Baton Rouge area but had an errand to run in Broussard so we picked this place off yelp. Very please we did. Our server Baley was great. She was very friendly and helped us choose what to order by explaining it to us. Everything we ate was great. We had the crawfish rolls and stuffed mushrooms for appetizers and bread pudding for dessert. We ordered meals to go but they were great even reheated. The place was clean and nice. If we are in the area again we will be sure to drop by. read more

Great. Quality and Variety of Food plus Beverages. Fantastic staff with the best demeanor.

I thought is was pretty good - friendly staff . Very clean place . Food was good - definitely has some seasoning. Will go back and eat eat again. Only criticism I will say is the Sweet tea tasted like it needed some love . Tasted like someone stored the pitcher up with a goat foot. Other than that maybe drop that price on that 46$ ribeye ( that's high) . Much love read more

The level unprofessionalism by the hostess and the manager was unreal and shocking..! Just because we asked the hostess to move us because the booth was too tight to sit in and the hostess just gave us an attitude from hell. What was the point in that?? Then when we asked to be accommodated it's as if we were asking for too much.. How wild is that??? Because she was so rude, I asked to speak to her manager who then proceeded to give us an entire speech about the rotation, bla, bla, bla - it was such an uncomfortable exchange that we honestly didn't even feel like we were a valued customer - so we left... This man came off shady.. So long and good luck with that crappy attitude just because we wanted to be comfortably seated in a booth. read more
