“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”

“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.”

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.”

Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse 2550 Golden Nugget Blvd, Lake Charles Steak House • $$$$

“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.”

“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.”

Johnny Sánchez 777 Ave L'Auberge, Lake Charles Mexican • $$

“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.”

Buffalo Wild Wings 3136 L'Auberge Blvd, Lake Charles Chicken Wings • $$

“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!”

Landry's Seafood House 2550 Golden Nugget Blvd, Lake Charles American • $$$

“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!”

Luna Bar & Grill Downtown 719 Ryan St, Lake Charles Bar & Grill • $$

“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.”
