“My wife and daughter and I went to Luna's yesterday, as my wife grew up in Lake Charles and said that Luna's was THE local hangout when she was growing up. With good reason, I found out. The restaurant was a delight. The food was amazing (I had a fantastic hamburger and a really good salad), and the atmosphere made me smile (all around us, throwback posters and paintings from 80s music and 90s movies). Plus the wait staff was very friendly. If you're looking for a good restaurant to do dinner with family and friends, this is the place to go.”

“Great people and good music, The food is just like home.”
“Ember was fantastic. The environment was definitely fine dining, but also comfortable and welcoming. The staff were beyond fantastic. Again, formal and professional, but still warm and friendly. On to the food, we couldn’t have asked for better. The temperature, flavors, presentation, everything was perfect. We got a small dessert to top it off, with the homemade ice cream being spot on. We can’t thank them enough for a perfect experience!”

“Little place, good chicken, watch the heat…
Teenagers got medium, and that was perfect, I thought I’ll step up to Xtra Hot, (not even the top), and I chose wrong. Dear Lloyd… why? Why they sell that??
But yeah give it a try! I will be back, will stay medium or lower… ?”
“A good friend brought his son here and recommended we stop here sometime. I tried it out awhile back and am amazed at how good the frozen yogurts are. Only gets better every time I go. Nice, quick, enjoyable treat. Definitely worth a hour drive if you in the area of Lake Charles.”
“Warm Welcomes waiting for everyone at the door! Incredibly fast specialty pizzas made before you can make your drinks and pick your table! All the pizzas were fresh with great quality! The staff's excellent, exciting, inviting spirits shine bright! Their professionalism and comforting environment make them #1!”
“Fantastic food!! The owner came out and greeted us! He is so nice and friendly. Thank you!”
“Dined at La Truffe Sauvage for an intimate date night and it exceeded all expectations. The ambiance was perfect—cozy, elegant, and perfect for a romantic evening. The food was exquisite, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, attentive yet unobtrusive, making us feel special throughout the evening. It was a truly unforgettable experience and the perfect spot for a special night out. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience. This is our go to date night spot!”

“The staff is always welcoming and we have a great experience each time. Mr. Paul knows how to do customer service. He's always present and attempts to talk to every guest. He talked with me tonight and suggested a new sandwich for me to get next time while giving me a free sample. Right before we left, he sent one of his staff to bring us some complimentary ribs to go. Great food and great service by quality people. 10/10.”
“Spent Super Bowl weekend in Lake Charles and ate here two days in a row! Service and food were fantastic! Shout to Classy! Staff raved about what a great manager he was and he was absolutely gracious and welcoming. Will definitely go back every single time we’re in Lake Charles!”
“I am so sorry people but I can sit there and tell you that this place for Mexican food is the Bomb. It's not spicy it's not too salty it is just good I love this place especially the mixture of the veggies with the meat together it's just awesome”

“I ate at Calla Wednesday night and I have to say it was probably one of the best meals I've ever had at any restaurant in Lake Charles. I got one of the power bowls and I highly recommend it!”
“Tonight we went for our anniversary and the food, service, and experience was top notch. We always have a good experience at Bodega. Our server, Cory, and the manager Joanne were wonderful. Highly recommend!”

“Great burgers. Having said that, I do not like mustard. If you just order a regular whataburger it is presented as what I call a mustard burger, completely covered in the revolting substance. If you're like me always remember to sub for ketchup, mayo or whatever your preference. Delicious well cooked beef and fresh veggies. One of the best burgers in town.”
“I have never had a bad experience at Luna’s. I’ve only been in Lake Charles since March. Hands down one of my favorite places. Friendly staff! The cosmic sauce has me in a chokehold, it goes with just about anything!”
“The seafood basket I ordered from this place was literally the best fried catfish and shrimp I’ve ever had! Being from south Florida and living in Georgia, thats saying a lot because I’ve eaten seafood at numerous spots across different states. Louisiana definitely is a favorite for me when it comes to taste quality in food. Not to mention the cashier was super friendly and informative about my order, if she didn’t know…she left to find out for me. 10/10 recommend when you are in the Lake Charles Louisiana area. ❤️Can’t wait to visit New Orleans soon.”

“Since discovering The Buzz, it has rapidly become one of my favorite places in Lake Charles! I live on the other side of town but go out of my way at least once a week to fuel my frozen Yellow Jacket addiction. I was given a taste of their Popeye New Orleans snowball, absolutely FABULOUS, so good that I’ll probably double my visits when summer gets here. Everyone that works there is always in great moods, SMILING and genuinely seems happy to be there. If I need to meet with a client or someone for business, this is my first go to place and so far, everyone has loved it. When you put the fabulous coffee & treats with the overall ambience it makes something such as a mundane coffee stop turn into a delicious feel good experience! Bonus information…The Buzz is a small, women owned local business AND is less expensive than her big corporate competitor!!! #supportsmalllocalbusiness”
“Best authentic Mexican food, hands down! We love the environment, the staff is AMAZING and always remembers us, the food is impeccable AND the restaurant is always clean. This is our favorite place to go, so if you want real Mexican food made by family, always choose El Tapatío!”

“Yall really sleeping on mama Retas if you ain’t had it yet! It’s like getting Sunday dinner at mom or Mawmaws house but any day of the week. Everything’s delicious, hot, fresh, and ready fast. And fairly priced! I would’ve taken a picture but I couldn’t wait it was too good.”
“Regan is amazing and very helpful and friendly!!! Our family had a great experience!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Everything I have had at Prime hasn’t disappointed. Mr. Dan, Heather and all of the other people who work there are always friendly. I can’t wait for Thursday either. If you haven’t had their Thursday lunch special of beef tips and rice you should. It’s amazing. The Thursday dinner special is equally good you pick your steak from the cooler. You only pay for the price of the steak. Vegetables and a loaded potato or included as well.”
“Terrific food! Our first time visiting CSC. We ordered a Dixie Chick sandwich meal for my husband the onion lover and a Fancy Nancy for me. Wow! The first bite took my right back to my grandmothers house when I was a little girl in California, sitting on the front porch eating her chicken sandwich and drinking iced tea. My husband never said a word, he just ate in onion bliss. The cookie was a delight, a sweet end to a lovely meal. The staff is so friendly you feel welcome and the few moments we waited for our to-go order was spent in pleasant conversation. Apparently it was a big day for first timers. I suspect we will all be back.”

“We decided to try MacFarlane’s. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night. The waitress the first night was helpful and friendly. The waiter the second night was also friendly and helpful. Food was outstanding beer selection was awesome. The night they had live music. I really enjoyed the lady that played. We can’t wait to go back again. Highly recommended this place.”
“I had food catered from T-Pot Noir for a company event. The food was absolutely amazing from the main dish down to the dessert!

“fab food, great service, awesome drinks, beautiful view, I was there for a 50 year wedding anniversary party . it was so well done This is a wonderful dining and bar place.”
“I have been on the hunt for a reliable Indian food restaurant out in our area for quite a while, while my fiancé can handle food with heat, I can’t! It was tricky to find a place that reliably could make tasty and mild dishes until we found Taj Mahal. We try to get dinner here once a week and it’s always fantastic- made just the way we order it heat wise, super tasty, very large portions and great service. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out! Check out the mild chicken korma if you want to venture into Indian food but are afraid of it being too spicy. Great place!!”
“The crawfish is great and the customer service is even better. 10/10 recommend!”
“Food was fantastic! My sons been wanting to try the ox tail and y’all knocked it out of the park!!”
“It is always so unbearably cold in there. We bring sweaters etc, but last night I shivered through my meal being unable to enjoy it. And the waiter was rushing us through the meal. Arrived at 515p out by 540p. The food is always delicious but the atmosphere killed it. Very fast loud music, difficult to hold a conversation at the table.”
“Delicious food! Very kind waiter and owner is very personable. This family is very hardworking and has always provided generous and quality food. Yes,it’s a must to try this restaurant. 😁👌🎉”
“Attended a wedding here this evening. Handicap parking right at the entrance. Wedding and reception on the 2 ND floor. Restrooms were clean. Sound system was clear. Food served was excellent. Shrimp in pasta, red potatoes, and green beans with sausage. DJ was an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Staff was efficient and friendly. They converted the wedding area to a reception area in 20 minutes. A well oiled machine. Great time for all.”
“Very chill bar to go with your significant other to conversate as it's not very noisy. The bartender, Jase, is very friendly and loves to recommend drinks he concocts himself. Very experienced mixologist. We stopped by here both nights we were there.”
“Went to a bithday party there Sat. night and there ended up being 60 people in the group. We had 1 waiter Antonio that took all our orders, and everyones was correct. Then he had to do seperate tickets and everyone of the tickets were correct. We were in and out in 2 hours. Amazing job Antonio and the ones that kept rhe chips, salsa and drinks coming. Great food and great service. Great job - thanks for making this an enjoyable event. Darlene”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“I have been to many blue martinis around Florida & my FAV is the lamb chop lollipops... this version of Blue has changed the menu, which is more like bar food (pizza, burgers,nachos) not classy like seen at other locations and worse off the lamp chop lollipops are GONE!!!”
“This is a pretty cool place to have some drinks with friends , I order fish tacos and they were good but WH with those 2 slices of carrots in each taco (2 in the order)not even in juliana cut ,that is not appealing to eat , I give this 7 out of 10 on dish presentation, no mexican does this to a good taco even though they were pretty good . The cherry of the dinner was the queso , salsa and chips they give you to snack on , those were excellents and comes on big portion, drinks are good too.
Parking: 4 story garage from the casino.”
“My server tonight was by far the best server I have had in a long time. Her name was Katie and she had such a wonderful personality and was very easy to talk to and extremely attentive. My food came out cold and she immediately made sure it was fixed with fresh hot food within minutes and not once did a smile leave her face. In such a high stress environment it can be hard to maintain positivity but she is the embodiment of what a good waitress should be! She deserves recognition for the hard work and good job that she does. Katie was helpful in every way and made sure that we had everything we needed to have a good dinner this evening. I am truly appreciative of her and will definitely be back to this location because of her! Thank you Katie!”
“We had a great experience dining here on 6/3/23. The dozen oysters on the half shell were very tasty. My husband had the catfish and commented on how it was the best he has had in a very long time. I had the burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for accommodating all my food allergies. It’s difficult but you all really tried and I appreciate it very much. Finally, we had great service from Brook and enjoyed eating on the patio. Keep up the great work. Food service is a grueling job but you all did it so effortlessly!”
“Great Service, Hannah was very helpful with any questions. The Ravioli with a vodka sauce was very good. The bread variety that is served when seated is a nice surprise. The pizza my husband ordered was perfect!”
“Brought my dad, daughter, and grandmother here to eat. Grandmother never had an American waygu steak before, tried the featured bonein waygu strip and loved it. Couldn't stoped talking about the amazing flavor from the marbling of the steak. Highly recommend!”
“omg best Asian cuisine in La never dissatisfied, food is always hot and delicious, I love it here💕🔥”

“Went to Olive Garden to have a nice meal and instead had a roach run across the table while we were eating.. My coworkers and I brought it to their attention and they offered us another seat. Not very customer friendly and did not comp us for the meal. Will never visit this restaurant again!”
