    Holly Beach Slammer
    Tommy V.

    After hearing a lot of hype about Uncle T's, we decided to finally give it a try. We ordered the Holly Beach Slammer, which comes with four different styles of oysters. They were okay, not bad but not great. There was a lot of topping and filler, and the oysters themselves were on the smaller side, which was a little disappointing. My wife had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, and I went with a pound of boiled shrimp. The boiled shrimp were actually pretty good, nice flavor and cooked right, not overdone. Overall, it was an average experience. Not bad, but I'm not sure it lived up to all the hype.

    Side of veggies

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Boiled shrimp - the best!

    Great place! Probably the best boiled shrimp I've ever had - perfectly seasoned. Holly Beach Slammer (oyster variety) was awesome. Everything else we tried was great as well, with the exception of the gator tacos that were just ok. We'll be back!

    No one told this place to be this good. Got my little group together and took a drive to Scott to try Uncle T's Oyster Bar. We all got a little bit of something and sampled everything from each other. The way to do it in my opinion. All of the food was good. The service was good and the drinks were spot on. My mom had the blueberry lemon drop and couldn't put it down. If you're near or want something to try, put on your eating pants and give this place a try.

    I've passed by this place probably 20 times. They really need to add bar and grill to their sign…read morebecause until I looked up local food I didn't even know what this place was. That said, food was good. Priced fair and the server was great. Food came out fast and hot. Refills when needed. Pretty good overall.

    Today, I had my first--and definitely last--experience at Legends @ the Scott parade…read more I'm not a regular drinker, but when I do indulge, it's for a fruity daiquiri. I decided to give Legends a try. Outside, they have a sign that says "no outside drinks or food allowed." My cousin and I went in while my sister-in-law waited outside with a bucket (complete with a Fireball logo, one--maybe two--shot bottles, some ice, and a couple of string cheeses). I happily ordered four $10 daiquiris, paid up, and even tipped the server. In a matter of 20 seconds, the drinks were already ready which was nice because with a crowd that big..... we were worried we would be there a while. But as soon as I stepped back outside, a guy (presumably the owner) told us we couldn't come back because of that bucket. I just spent $40 on watered-down daiquiris with the worst aftertaste imaginable--I even had my family try a sip, and they all spit it out immediately. I wasn't being ugly or disrespectful. I wasn't being loud or causing a scene. I followed rules and still tipped the worker. All I wanted was a good daiquiri; I wasn't breaking any rules. Then he argued, "Would you bring your chicken to Popeyes?" Honestly, if my husband craves KFC and I want Popeyes, I doubt Popeyes would kick me out for him holding a KFC bag. Maybe I'm wrong.... but seriously? I understand today was crazier than most days but I dont find i did anything wrong. I wasnt loud or obnoxious. I was kind, polite and made sure to tip the server and I DID NOT bring ANYTHING other than my SMALL purse inside with me. PLENTY OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON FACEBOOK
