    Shrimp poboy is ok
    Justin M.

    Heard many people talk about it but it's definitely nothing to drive out here for. Had the shrimp poboy and philly. Not enough shrimp on there and little off tasting and not seasoned enough. The bread is ok. Don't like crunchy bread but it still is soft as well which is nice. The philly needs lots more as well inside but not bad and could use some whiz. Other than that just nothing about this place justifies driving 25 minutes. Nothing is really made from scratch here. Oh well I tried and now I know.

    Shrimp poboy- delicious
    Juliet K.

    This place is the spot for a shrimp poboy and home cut fries. Huge shrimp falling off of a crispy bun, fresh potatoes sliced and deep fried to perfection. I don't know what the secret is to those amazing potatoes but they are nothing like you've ever tried before. They are probably 30 minutes from my house but we'll worth the trek.

    In Lafayette for the day, we were told we had to eat here. The pot roast poor boy was the bomb. Fries homemade and awesome. What makes these so good, the best bread ever! A Do Not Miss!

    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.

    We stopped in for lunch while passing through Eunice, Louisiana, I love this small town where it…read moreseems time has almost stopped in a lot of ways, it definitely has that small town vibe that still embraces the cajun culture. We didn't have any particular place in mind for lunch knowing that there are a few great options but wanted to try a place where the locals eat so here we are at Ruby's. This town has a lot of history and Ruby's Cafe has been a big part of that history. Parking is pretty easy in this part of the historic downtown district so it was only a matter of crossing the street to get to the entrance, this small cafe was pretty busy but we were able to seat ourselves without a wait although arriving here a little after noon some of the daily plate lunch specials were already sold out- but we managed after our friendly server let us know what was still available. We ordered the pork tasso and sausage with rice and gravy with candied yams and sweet slaw and chicken fried steak with a spicy brown gravy on the side with corn and again an order of candied yams. The food here was amazing, a little like eating at momma's place, this is legit cajun fare and if you haven't had a chance to sample this unique cuisine this would be a great place to start in my opinion. The sweet tea is freshly brewed and the service is outstanding and definitely a place I'll return to when in the area or within a reasonable driving distance - this place is definitely one to bookmark...

    Stopped in only for a minute to grab a sandwich. Loved the outside and had to see what it looked…read morelike inside too! It's a super cute retro place that makes you feel like you're a kid at grandma's again. The staff were super friendly, fast to take my order & quick to bring it out too! Thanks Ruby's
