“The best food in lake Charles every time it's on point and everything is delicious. service is excellent Gary is definitely the man and the bartender knows what he is doing.. this place is top notch”
“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.”
“We went tonight for a graduation party and had 13 people. All of our food was fantastic, and service was great also. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Outstanding food and service! I highly recommend the beef shish kabobs! His lemon drop martini was really yummy too🍸”
“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.”
“Fiery Crab's garlic butter sauce should be illegal. It’s THAT good”
“From Houston out here for work , wanted some good crawfish and I couldn’t decide where to go so I gave them a shot and didn’t regret it , Crawfish was good had great flavor , shrimp was 10/10 easy peel and flavor full ! I asked for extra spice and mannnnne that set it off good !! 10/10 for us crawfish were pretty big ! Potato and corn were fire too ! Drive thru was fast and quick !! Spent about 45$ 3lbs crawfish , 1lb shrimp 4 extra potatoes 2 corns , and butter sauce !! More than enough for me and my wife !”

“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!”
“Great food and entertainment! Loved our waitress and the manager ! Want to come back the next time we are passing through from Texas!”
“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!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Today I got the Chantilly cheesecake and cookie along with the Biscoff cheesecake and cookie 10 out of 10 recommend I adore the service I get there along with the desserts. A lot of places I go to the service I get is subpar one because of the way I look and also the service industry has gone downhill but I always get amazing service. I do appreciate that so much. The price is well worth the taste and the size.”
“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.”
“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I originally reviewed 6 years ago & I continue to enjoy all I order from Great Harvest. Typically, I go for breakfast sandwich- egg, bacon, Havarti cheese, Avocado & herb spread. It is consistently delish. Also, their cherry almond shortbread cookies are scrumptious. You can taste the almond, combined with slight tartness of cherries. These cookies are not too sweet - a true shortbread. However, they are expensive.
Everything I have had from Great Harvest Bread is delicious - from savory to sweet, ordered sandwiches to take-home bread, muffins, etc. Very friendly, helpful staff.”
“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.”
“Excellent food and service, even with a packed house! Kudos to the hardworking and helpful staff.”
“Knocked it out of the park again with a great meal and service”
“My son took me to Chart House for lunch today and it was delicious! The atmosphere and the service were great as well. I can’t wait to go back with my husband and try their evening menu!”
“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!!”

“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.”
“Food was absolutely delicious! Fresh and made perfectly. Fantastic service, the cook was great, expertly made and seasoned. Our server Tet, was exceptional. She was fast, friendly and very engaging, excellent server that anticipated everything we needed. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Service was great and the food was delicious! Or your a peach lover you will want to try the peach Bellini it a frozen peach lover's dream. This was my second time here and I will be returning again. Hope you all enjoy this Italian dining experience at The Golden Nugget Lake Chalres.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Del Mar -- Redfish with 2 Blackened Shrimp, Summer Squash Medley, Spanish Rice with Refried Beans... Queso Blanco with Fajita Beef ... and last but not least ,.., Cerveza Pacifico Clara ??”

“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!”
