    Half Catfish & Half Shrimp Platter
    Elizabeth S.

    My fiance and I were in Lafayette for a food vacation and he wanted some fried catfish and this was the place! We each got a half serving of catfish and shrimp. The catfish was great and we wish we had more. The shrimp was good as well. I liked the Cajun dipping sauce they had. The place has hot pork rinds ready for you as you sit which my fiance was so pleased about. I got the happy hour margarita which was pretty weak but I will not complain for all day $5 margaritas. My fiance got a dark liquor drink with fresh berries which was strong and good. I got the sweet potato fries with my order which were great. My fiance felt his regular fries were a bit too salty for his liking. Our server was perfect- fast and attentive but not bothersome.

    5lb Boiled Crawfish

    The place was crowded so it was very hot inside but thankfully it was a nice breezy evening so we sat outside and were comfortable. The boiled crawfish were delicious and the grilled shrimp salad and fried fish bites were perfectly seasoned and just the right serving size! The service was fast friendly & efficient. Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

    We arrived at 5PM on a Tuesday and there was plenty of seating. We were given pork rinds as we sat down. We split Alligator Bites, a Fried Crawfish Po boy and Pain Perdu for dessert. Everything was delicious!

    Food:10/10 Service:10/10 Ambience:8/10 We came on a busy Sunday night. The wait time was about 1 hour, but it was well worth the wait! Our server Sarah seated us and we ordered 15 pounds of crawfish. She also provided recommendations. The interior was unique with lots of pictures of crawfish. Lively music was playing in the background. The crawfish was fresh and juicy, I ate 4 pounds myself. We also ordered the nachos, which came with fried crawfish, jalapeños, and queso. The nachos were delicious and full of flavor. Overall the food and service was great even though the place was busy and slightly understaffed. If I'm ever around this place again, I'm definitely coming back.

    Knuckle Sandwich (but with alligator)
    Brandon L.

    Great little local Cajun place. It's pretty hard to get to if you're coming into town. The place wasn't very busy on a Saturday around lunch. The service was great though. The food was pretty solid and enjoyed every bit of it. I ordered the knuckle sandwich (which originally has chicken on it), but I asked the waitress if I could have alligator bites on it instead of chicken. I didn't think they'd be able to accommodate, but boy did they ever! They delivered on that request and I'm glad they did, because it was very good with alligator. They should just replace it with alligator and not even do the chicken, but that's my opinion. Other than the place needing to be a little bit cleaner, overall great place to stop in for lunch.

    Shrimp poboy and fries. Husband loves it. Loaded with cornmeal fried shrimp.

    We visited the Cajun Table on Saturday. Nonc was our waiter. He was attentive and answered all My questions and gave some suggestions. I ordered the shrimp wrap and my husband got a shrimp poboy. All our food came out perfect. It was delicious. My husband paid with his credit card and unbeknownst to him forgot it inside the receipt book. We realized Tuesday that this was the last place he used it. I called and they had our card. I came in today and picked it up. Not only great food, great service but honest and trustworthy business and people. We will be back.

    Can I give this place 10 stars? Everything was great! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The place was cute and clean. The bar menu was varied. My Jolie Blonde packed a delicious punch. My salad was fresh. The crawfish was late season but boiled so well. The flavors were just in perfect balance. The shrimp was fried in cornmeal. It was delicious as were the jalapeño hush puppies. The Pain Perdue for dessert was out of this world.

    I usually never leave reviews but I'm absolutely disgusted. There was a bug in my food. Wash your produce better. Yuck.

It took the waitress five minutes just to get to our table and another ten minutes to place the order. When the food did arrive, she initially forgot to give us utensils and by the end of the meal, wasted no time in handing us the check without bothering to ask us if we wanted anything else. At first I thought she was just having an off day, but when her friends came in, she made sure to immediately place an order for them. It also should be noted that the seats are low and uncomfortable so I don't recommend dining here if you are wheelchair-bound. All that said, the food at Fat Pat's was exceptional --from the well-seasoned crispy onion rings to the homemade queso dip. I also really loved the loaded nachos as it was laced with savory hamburger meat and not the grainy taco meat that usually ruins a proper nacho dish. The fried pickles and boneless wings were also well-done and exactly what you would expect from a greasy spoon. I was expecting more of a restaurant and less of a bar but this particular location is essentially a bar that serves decent food. 5/10 decent quality food but I probably wouldn't return!

In fact, Pete's has better burgers & onion rings than the other places listed on this Yelp page listing. Yes, we are familiar with them, too. In fact, we frequent one, b/c it is on our way home. One regulars' tip: The ''Little Pete" cheeseburgers are a bit better than the "Big Pete" burgers, despite having the exact same ingredients. No one knows why this is. Pete's is now part of Charley Goodson's Restaurants Group, all of which are very good to excellent. Lots of parking in private lots, little shade. Pub-style full bar with booths & tables all around. Many large TV's with sports events. Full Pub-style menu, with sandwiches, wraps, soups, chili, super burgers, etc. Only negative is that the new decorations seem hostile to LSU Alums & Fans, which comprise about half of the regular customers. We are loyal, anyway. Don't miss this iconic Lafayette place. Rick .

The owner of Marley's proceeds to tell us that we cannot stand there and kicks us out of the bar. The owner did not even speak to us directly. He told the same woman that said we could stand out of the rain to tell us that we need to leave. Leaving us to stand outside in the cold and rain under an extreme cold warning. Lack of human decency is inexcusable.
