Was told about this little gem by my mom a few months ago. After moving in the area, my mom decided…read moreto give it a try. Boy were we impressed. The portions are always plentiful, enough for most people to share one plate. The fried food is always fried to perfection. The portions for the price are unbeatable! Consistency is always on point with them. You get the same every time you go! The employees are amazing as well. Always very pleasant & now that my mom has gone back many times they have made it a point to remember her. As other reviews have said, don't let the outside fool you! This place is a MUST TRY!

Our waitress was super friendly, patient, and helpful, and everyone we met was welcoming. They even brought us a complimentary cheese dip for our first visit--it was amazing! We tried the spicy pesto chicken flatbread, which was flavorful and filling. This place has a fun sports bar vibe with a huge bar, but it's very family-friendly with plenty of seating, including cozy couches and booths. We also played some simulated games for $10/hour which was a steal! (Prices do vary during busy times!) I can't wait to bring my son and friends to play while moms sit back and visit and enjoy drinks. And thank you to our lovely waitress for the coupons for our return!

Service was great. But the food was not what we expected. Your menu had a lot of fried choices.read more

We truly enjoy this place and come here when we think of it - it's a bit out of town. The food is…read morealways excellent. The service is usually quite good, although we have had a couple of misses. The old house is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, but it could use a refresh in some areas - for example, the carpet and restrooms are worn and dated. This last visit was with friends, and we arrived on the late side without reservations but were greeted with smiles and never rushed. We had sautéed crab claws to start, which are served in a sauce similar to New Orleans style barbeque shrimp. They were large and tender, and the sauce was great for bread dipping. We ordered seafood pasta (sorry, no photo), chicken Parmesan, veal osso bucco, and paneed veal. All were delicious and perfectly cooked, served hot and fresh. Portions are generous - I had lunch for another day. We were too full for dessert, but there will be a next time!

Food and ambiance is always wonderful. Would recommend for any special time out with your loved one.read more

Prejean's Broussard was an amazing Cajun experience! We just…read moreate 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!

First time visit. I had the burger after reading some reviews. Burger was good and cooked well…read more Onion rings were standard frozen fare. All drinks are fountain or bottles, even the tea. There is a large bar area and seemed well stocked. Service was not unfriendly but definitely more on the ambivalent side of things. Almost felt like I was bothering them to order. I dined in but after waiting for my order at a table with an assigned order #holder. When the order was ready, a lady just dropped off the bag with food prepared to go left the table number on the table and just walked away. Maybe they just cater to regulars. I had a cheeseburger onion rings and a bottle of tea. Including a 20% tip it was right at $20. I didn't really feel welcome and won't return.

Food is AMAZING of course, but I was a little disappointed in the fact that the doors to the patio…read morewere closed, and I always look forward to sitting on the beautiful patio. I asked if they'd be able to open them and the reason given was they closed them due to customers complaining about the heat. It was around 7:30, the sun was setting, I then let my waitress know that I was cold and I sat on the patio to not be cold. She said she'd ask but they most likely would not do it. This problem is not that deep but I am anemic & I don't think its fair to us who sit outside for the sun and warmth to have to be cold due to the people who can just sit inside if they're too hot‍

Okay but the chargrilled oysters at The Chimes?? Yeah... they ate DOWN ‍…read more They came out hot, buttery, and loaded with that garlicky goodness. The cheese was melted perfectly on top and the oysters themselves were super fresh -- not fishy at all. I was literally scraping the plate for the extra sauce because it was THAT good. Service was quick and the vibe was chill, which made the whole experience even better. If you go to The Chimes and don't order the chargrilled oysters... what are you even doing?? Definitely coming back for another round.
