    Uncle T's absolutely knocked it out of the park. Every single dish we tried was a hit, and the menu strikes that perfect balance between comfort food and bold, creative flavors. The boudin egg rolls were unreal--crispy on the outside, packed with flavor on the inside, and clearly made with care. The Landry po'boy was stacked and satisfying, with fresh ingredients and a perfect bite every time. The alligator bites were tender, well-seasoned, and fried just right--not greasy at all. The fish plate was cooked to perfection, flaky and flavorful, with sides that actually felt thought-out instead of an afterthought. But the real standout? The firecracker oysters. Unique, bold, and addictive--sweet heat with just the right kick. That's the kind of dish you come back for and tell people about. To top it off, T's Tea with the rice vodka was both strong and refreshing--the kind of drink that sneaks up on you in the best way and pairs perfectly with the food. Great food, great drinks, and a menu that shows real personality. Uncle T's is the kind of place you recommend without hesitation and can't wait to revisit.

    Wow, Uncle T"s rocks! In town for dinner with a couple friends Uncle T's was a suggestion by one of my buds. Sports bar/pub inside with outside patio eating it's a casual environment for families and friends to meet Nice beer selection including plenty on draft I decided on a frosty tap Sheinerbock. For appetizers we had the boudin egg rolls and Catfish pieces. The boudin egg rolls came with a delicious pepper jelly. Egg rolls were crispy and hot , filled with lots of deliciousness its a big portion, plenty for 3 to share! My favorite, the Catfish pieces. Fried in crispy cornmeal they came out HOT but still tender and juicy - they were awesome! Our sweet server decided she didn't like our portion size and came back with a second basket to add to our current - NO ISSUES from me , it's about the FULL PORTION For mains, my buddy had the char grilled oysters and guarded them like a jail prisoner guarding his daily food ration I had a grilled fish PO BOY and I gotta say this was the best PO BOY I've ever had. PLENTY of fish , so much that it fell off the bread everytime I bit into the bread ( the bread was excellent too)My side was the coleslaw, big scoop with excellent crunch! Uncle T"s , can't wait to visit y"all again!

    Stayed in town on our way to New Orleans and stopped by Uncle T's for dinner. It was packed so that was a good sign. We waited about 45 mins for our table around 6:30. We had drinks outside while we waited. Once seated our sweet server Amy promptly took our order and dined on boudin balls, fish bites, and boiled shrimp. The portions are huge. You can easily split meals. Everything was delicious!

    We had the variety oyster plate.. nice size oysters, great and original concoctions bursting with flavor. The onion rings were perfectly cooked and a perfect complement to the main course. We were completely satisfied and were a bit surprised when asked if we were ready to order. We couldn't have ate another bite. Drinks were equally delicious. If you enjoy oysters this is a must have meal. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Bon Apatite.

    Grilled oysters! So so delicious! ( And bread)

    The food was so good! I forgot to ask our server for her name, but she was so good to us! The ambiance was amazing! It looked beautiful! But, it wasn't fancy! So if you want to go and enjoy yourself, (in Louisiana) go there!

    We always come here when we visit Lafayette. Yes, there are other restaurants in Lafayette but something about this place and the ambiance is welcoming and always good. Spicy Bloody Mary was om point and garnishes were a welcomes appetizer. The Onion rings and poboy burger were worth the money and enough to bring home. Raw oysters were fresh and went down easy, lol. The chargrilled was what we waited for for 4 years to come back to!!! 9 out of the 1w were perfect but the other 4 were burnt and wayyyy overcooked. They should have not been sent to the table. After telling the waitress, she didn't offer to replace them or get us new ones so 3 were left on the plate. Hard as a rock and the shell was black as coal. This was a little disappointing but won't stop us from coming back. Next time we will just insist we get 12 cooked correctly.

    I finally decided to try Uncle T's Oyster Bar after hearing so much about it. I've been to nearly every local restaurant in Lafayette and the surrounding areas, but this one had somehow slipped through the cracks--until yesterday, when I was craving some good oysters. When we arrived, there was a 35-minute wait for a table inside. While we waited, we opted for the heated patio, which wasn't too bad and made the wait more tolerable. Once inside, we were seated in Ashley's section near the kitchen. Ashley was a fantastic server--friendly and attentive. She even went out of her way to accommodate my mother-in-law's request for fish fried extra hard, and her effort really stood out! We started with the oyster sampler. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing part of the meal. The oysters were completely overcooked--so blackened that we couldn't enjoy the different toppings. It was clear the sampler had potential, but the execution missed the mark. For my entrée, I decided to step out of the box and ordered the chopped cheese with waffle fries, and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the creative twist of serving it on French bread--it's definitely something I'd come back for. We also tried a bowl of gumbo, which was pretty good overall, though the potato salad on the side could use a bit more seasoning. The rest of my party ordered fried seafood, which was solid--no complaints there. Everything was cooked well and tasted as expected. Overall, the oyster sampler was a letdown, but the rest of the meal, combined with Ashley's excellent service, helped redeem the experience. I'd be willing to give Uncle T's another try, but I hope they improve their oysters, as that's what I came for in the first place.

    We checked into our hotel in Scott and told the lovely lady at the front desk that we wanted a shrimp boil. She took the sheet full of recommended places, circled Uncle T's and said we needed to go there. And so we did. We took a Lyft and got there early (maybe around 5-530) and got seated on the patio. The weather was wonderful. Service was fantastic. She answered all of our questions, and we got the best food and drink. I appreciated the time she took to explain the best way to eat crawfish. My daughter was in heaven. I was happy with my po'boy. We got a Lyft back with happy tummies. Inside had a lot of different dining areas. It had a lot of light wood so the place felt very open. There was a second patio area off to the side that had a high top type bar area for people to sit at as well. The best thing was that if you went in and all the way to the back on the left, there was an excellent hand (and face) washing station. Two big thumbs up.

    Amazing boiled crawfish! I am very critical of restaurant crawfish as I most do not compare to my own boil at home. The service was great, highly attentive wait staff. Fried fish appetizer was so good. We will definitely return. Thank you Uncle T's!

    Our eighth year coming here. As always, it's a great time. The shrimp in the seafood platter were overdone but there was so much food we wouldn't have eaten it all anyway. Oysters were on point - NOLA had Parmesan and Garlic, Firecracker were topped with bacon and spicy peppers. The muffaletta bread was cheesy and packed with olives and the Spicy Ritas were delicious. Was impressed with the manager, sorry I didn't get his name, he was everywhere. Checking in with tables but helping the servers too. Also saw the hostess team helping the bus staff. They were all working as a team which you don't see often. See you next year Uncle T's!

Well after walking through the door that was held open by Jade who turned out to be our server my attitude immediately changed and I kinda knew this was going to be a excellent experience. My 90 year old dad never goes anywhere without his wheelchair which can come with some challenges but Jade took the time to ensure it was not an issue here and made my dad feel comfortable before taking our drink order I had a coca-cola since I was driving and my dad ordered an ice cold Miller Lite in a bottle and a glass of water. The selections here are many but we had decided before we started driving here we both wanted boiled crabs for sure among a few other things. We both ordered a cup of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo to start served with white rice it was absolutely delicious with a dark roux and very flavorful as I expected from these parts. Then the entrées, I knew immediately I wanted the blue point boiled crabs and shrimp with potatoes and corn cooked extra spicy, even though it's messy being the crabs are boiled live and there's work to get to the delicate sweet meat it's worth the effort especially since these blue crabs were very big which made me very happy. My dad decided on the fried shrimp basket that came with fries and a side salad which made me question his choice since I know he loves crab but maybe the blue crabs was a little more work than he wanted to tackle so I ordered him a side of snow crabs which he loves and is much less of a mess, this made him raise his brow but once the food arrived he enjoyed it all not only because it was so delicious but mostly because he and I were sharing a meal that we have enjoyed all my life. The service here was exceptional I know the place wasn't busy but Jade paid extra to ensure we had the best experience and really catered to my dad making this a memorable experience that we both will never forget.

This may have been part of the reason its wasn't all that busy on a Tuesday lunch.

Fried pork rinds are served with every table. They have daily plate lunches and the one day I came it was chicken fried steak. However, it's not usually a good idea to order CFS outside of Texas in my experience. Therefore, I ended up ordering the catfish and shrimp platter, served grilled instead and added a $5 strawberry margarita. The entree comes with a side salad but they only have seelct dressings and none which I would typically order, so i just settled on honey mustard. Margarita- for only $5 it's not bad and comes with either sugar or salt rim Catfish and shrimp platter - seasoned with a blackened seasoning but it wasn't spicy. The catfish filet was small and tasted like it was previously frozen. The shrimp were also small and didn't taste much better. Not sure I'd return if ever in Lafayette, as I was really looking for a more festive environment and more grilled options.
