I want to give a million stars. We can’t wait to go back. Her service and food is so good. But her personality along hospitality puts everything here over the top. The ambience is impeccable. We absolutely love this place!

?????⚪️Chez Jacqueline is an essential restaurant for eating French like your grandmother did.Not really a menu, she prepares what she has in stock at 79 years old and over 45 years old in the US!I had the right to a salad, a little greenery doesn't hurt, with its secret sweet sauce.Then rabbit in red wine, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten it.She serves all this with a whole hot baguette and butter.It’s very good, rustic family cooking.

Kitchen should have not passed inspection according to the people she hired to help her fix her problems . The food is not good. The tourist are getting the wrong taste of what is not authentic Cajun cuisine or French. The gumbo was horrible.

My husband and I absolutely LOVE dining Chez Jacqueline! We have been twice and both times our experiences were incredible!The first time we ate here was on a Sunday. My husband and I walked in around 3:20. They sat us and began with our drink order. After ordering our food we found out they closed at 3p but they had no issue at all serving us. We thought they closed at 7 as advertised on google. We felt terrible but they couldn’t have been more kind and willing to serve us regardless. Mme. Jacqueline came and greeted us herself. She is the kindest and sweetest woman! We just love her so much! My husband ordered the fish with crawfish étouffé that he must have talked about for at least a week afterwards. It was divine. I enjoyed the shrimp linguine which was so delicious also! We couldn’t have been more pleased!The environment including Mme. Jacqueline makes you feel like you’re eating at your grandmothers house. She’s so inviting, the restaurant is cozy, nothing fancy. A place to enjoy good Cajun cooking and wonderful company!Our second evening Chez Jacqueline was for her Valentine’s Day 8 course dinner meal! It was fantastic! The food was different and delicious! There was a gentleman playing the guitar while singing all evening. There were red heart balloons everywhere. Each woman received a box of chocolates and a beautiful rose upon arrival. The wine of your choice was served as the courses began. We couldn’t have asked for a better Valentines dinner experience!As others have said, Mme. Jacqueline prepares everything fresh. This is not a fast food restaurant. She takes her time and you can tell she truly loves to serve. Mme. Jacqueline will come to your table to greet you, check on you and make sure youre enjoying yourself. She truly takes care of her guests! We love her and her staff! I hope this review entices you to visit because if you love good southern hospitality and delicious Cajun cooking…you will LOVE dining Chez Jacqueline!
This place is so incredibly homey. Chef Jacqueline is such a gem.I came for my birthday and they made me feel so special. The chef came to say hi to me and chat quite a few times. They came out singing with cake and a candle. They made me feel so welcomed here.
We had the most amazing meal and experience @ Chef Jacqueline. Everything is fresh so be prepared to sit back, relax and enjoy your whole meal experience. Jacqueline is a gem!!! From the warm french bread to the house salad with Jacqueline's homeade vinegrettte to her crawfish bisque with stuffed crawfish to my husband's lamb chops to the mousse filled chocolate cake and wine, INCREDIBLE!!!We will return to Jacqueline's before we leave Lafayette.Make time to go and enjoy a meal or two or more @ Jacqueline's.

Food was really good and the chef was really sweet - I guess what rubbed me the wrong way was no signage or verbal warning that this place is CASH or CashApp, Zelle, Venmo only.
Ms. Jacqueline herself came and met our family even though she was so busy catering a huge dinner party. . Loved her so much felt like family. Hugggge meals perfect Cajun taste 100% will be back. Worth every penny. Great wine choiceKid-friendliness: My daughter honestly was asked personly by the owner what she would like to eat before our waitress even got our drinks she definitely knew that baby wanted her food asap. Are on point. Felt like family. Beautiful home feeling . Lovely neighborhood. Kind folks .best place I've ever wanted to be to eat seafood . Better than dons and VERY attentive to my daughter . 100 stars
Jacqueline is an extraordinary woman! She made us a menu for 4 which meant that we tasted bisque, turtle, alligator and gumbo! We loved it and what can we say about its hot bread! So interesting with its history! We would stay all evening to chat with her! She is 79 years old and always ready to serve you, it’s her life and her happiness! Hope to see her again! Every time we pass by there we stop to see her! It's like family! I already like it a lot!

It was an alright experience. We got there at 10:30AM, sat for 30 minutes until our order was taken & then on top of that it took an hour to get our food. We didn’t leave until 12:30PM. They do not accept card only cash, cashapp, or venmo, which i’m sure you can assure after that wait we were upset. We had to walk across the street to an ATM to pay for this bill. Make sure you have A LOT of time during your day if you want to eat over here.

European experience! Make sure you have a couple of hours as everything is prepared fresh. CASH ONLY so you aren’t surprised.We visited the small quaint town of Beaux Bridge, Louisiana today known as the crawfish capital of the world. When we happened upon a large menu sign on the sidewalk with French dishes that sounded amazing, and saw several small cafe tables for outside seating, we thought - perfect! It turned into an unexpected European experience.We ordered iced tea from the menu and it was brought out about 20 minutes later as it was freshly made. We ordered our food at that time. Another 15 minutes or so. warm french bread and butter were brought to our table.Meanwhile, another couple sat down and went through the same experience. I decided to look the restaurant up on google and it was rated 4.5 stars - great! Then I noticed quite a few comments like this; “Everything is cooked fresh and took time to prepare. This is not fast food people.”, “You have to wait an hour and a half to be served … “.By this time the other couple was getting restless and asked when the food would be served and the waiter said it takes about 2 hours; they got up and left. By this time we had already invested an hour or so and we were enjoying ourselves so it was fine. When the meal arrived, about 1:45 minutes in, it was worth it. I had a cup of crawfish bisque and a cup of seafood gumbo. My husband is allergic to seafood so they made him a hamburger. Two hours later we were on our way.
