“Thanks to previous reviews, I knew exactly who Heather was and I was fortunate enough to have her as my waitress. She is very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. I mean she treated us so good we didn't want to leave. The food was so good that we ended up ordering a bunch to go so my mom could try it. My son is a very picky eater but he tore his food up. My mom said that the fried shrimp and catfish were the best she's had. We ordered the Ribeye, prime burger, fried shrimp, fried shrimp and catfish, bread pudding, pork rinds and everything was amazing!!! Both the food and the service here is top notch! I will be visiting each time I drive down from Houston. I've told everyone I know how wonderful this place is! Thank y'all for having us! See you soon!”
“Edit: Bodega reached out and offered me a full refund. I was not looking for a refund at all, I’m fine paying but not how much it was for how little. They were very professional in reaching out to me and for that I’m willing to give them another shot! Changed my rating from 1 star to 4 star. I think people only come here for wine and the atmosphere. Which is cool and all. Food is trash for the price. Had the Dinero sandwich and I can make a better melt with some deli meat and cheese in my fridge lol. My girl has the Alfredo. Sauce was so thin it barely stuck to the rigatoni. So it’s like eating tasteless pasta. Shrimp wasn’t even pan seared. Tasted boiled or microwaved. People go here to waste money on mediocre food just to make themselves feel important or “high class” I left and got a #7 at McDonald’s ?? the waiter was in a rush as well.”

“Our 1st time here, Marcus took care of us with old school service. He was the best server we have had in 15 years! He took the time to explain the cuisine, the tres Leche cake was the best I've had in a long time, and we had coffee to end the wonderful experience, thank you ?”

Shwarmas
“This place is fantastic all of the food tastes insanely well seasoned with great balance to the flavors. I eat a lot of middle eastern food in multiple countries and this place was easily the best in North American. It’s the little things like tabuleh having enough lemon and onion flavor balanced together and the rice being cooked well. Picture here are the feta salad and the chicken shawarma plate! Try the cabbage salad it’s so good.”
“If you need a boost or just something clean and healthy....this is the place...I get the cure shot when I'm starting to get sick of juat need an immune boost...their juices are awesome!!!”

“Beautiful, elegant bakery/deli that transports you to France. Very generous portions. My sticky bun was not fresh out of the oven but still tasty with maple flavored filling. My ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was huge but the grilled bread tasted burnt which I personally don't like. I would like to try again the next time we're in Lake Charles.”

“Cool and relaxed atmosphere. the Star Wars theme. This is the place. The owners are super friendly and loves concerts. Telling me about all the spots in Lake Charles. They know the city. If you are new to the area. Check this place out. You will learn so much.”

“We were in town from Houston & I was craving breakfast tacos. (The ones they were serving in our hotel’s restaurant weren’t it!) We found this little place in a gas station turned restaurant. Perfectly authentic breakfast tacos! The hand made flour tortillas were SO good. The tacos were large & very filling. Loved the salsa verde: not too spicy but had a nice little kick to it. 10 out of 10, I’d eat here again!”

“I stopped here when passing Lake Charles and wow! The atmosphere was inviting! They were playing 2000s hip hop! All the girls who worked there had great customer service! And the sandwiches …. YALL! They were amazing so tasty! And it came out so fast! 5/5 would recommend!”

They have been going their longer than I have been alive❤️ so sweet!!!!Drive thur is faster than Burger King on Highway 14 and if you know you know.They always have the same cooks, so the food always the same way”
“Not much to say about Steamboat Bills, other than it was great food. There's a reason why the lines get a nice crowd. I got the small captains platter, which had 2 pieces of fish (not sure of the type of fish; I'm guessing white), fried shrimp, 1 stuffed shrimp, stuffed crab, and fries. All good, oh, and the coleslaw was amazing to. Yup, that's a definite stop off place if your traveling to the casinos. Will be going back again.Parking: Parking is kind of crazy. There was a guy trying his best to guide people to parking spots but people are going to do what their going to do. There was more parking in the back though.”
“I am so happy I know about SushiBoxx. I love this place!!! The vegetarian options are so good. Shaggy Dog with forbidden rice...is delicious!!! The staff is always so very friendly.The restaurant has always been clean.I am definitely a repeat customer!”
“My wife loves the cheesecake. She said it is the best so far that she has had. There Smore's cookie is also very good.Parking: It's a little tight & not much space by the building, but there is a parking lot across the street that most people use.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for people in wheelchairs”

“What a COOL place, loved our bartender Heather!! What great food, we came from Texas..but everything is bigger in Louisiana!! Had the Fried Shrimp and Crab Dip. Portions and prices are right on track! U Get what you pay for!!”
“This brewery was a gem hidden in this city. Got to grab some dinner and taste their delicious beer. My favorite had to be their stout. I really wish I could’ve brought some home with me.”
“LOVE THEIR WINGS AND SHRIMP FRIED RICE!! Always hot and fresh. The flavors are always consistent. I've been eating here for years and have never been dissatisfied with their food.”

“I’ve been to this place off an on for years. The menu has usually been a little boring for me and then the food was middle of the road and not worth reordering. The burger was always a safe bet because it’s one of the best in town. The dinner tonight was really fantastic. The cocktails were however a miss. I tried some that I’ve never had there so maybe that’s on me 0/3. The winner of the night was the food. The shrimp and grits was perfect albeit a smaller portion. The Brussels sprouts were also spot on perfect. They’re not your normal boring sprouts, and it’s a big enough portion to share or to turn into a meal. Looking forward to my next outing here.”
“The food and the atmosphere is incredible. Everything is prepared and cooked to excellence from Seafood entrees to their steak and an extensive wine list, which will surely pair this delicacy! keley and the gang at the bar are terrific at and very knowledgeable of all their wines and spirits. I usually sit at the bar, but definitely make reservations because this is a very popular five star restaurant.”
“First time trying it and it was DELICIOUS! Everything we had was really good. It was hot in there and the building isn't much to look at but I don't care if the food tastes this good. Service was gas and friendly.”
“The service was well beyond our expectations! The food was great and the atmosphere was awesome! A true hidden treasure for sure. Our orders were cooked to order, fresh and HOT! WE WILL BE RETURNING FOR ONE OF THOSE BLUE BELL ICE CREAM SHAKES!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramps are located on either side of the building. Ample parking was available.”
“First time trying it and it was DELICIOUS! Everything we had was really good. It was hot in there and the building isn't much to look at but I don't care if the food tastes this good. Service was gas and friendly.”
“I took my work family out for dinner at Asia. We were given so much more than just dinner. We were given an experience with phenomenal food and service. Jason made our evening unforgettable, and we cannot wait to go back. He chose serval dishes for us to share, and everything was fabulous. The crawfish fried rice, drunken noodle, Rockin’ Shrimp and any of his suggestions are highly recommended!!”
“Paul, the pit master and the entire team are amazing. The food is just the best, i always thought we bbq'd best in Texas but Paul and Silas have us beat. When your in Lake Charles Pauls Rib Shack is must stop.”
“It's the real deal. Small, authentic, taqueria. Food was good but they were out of the casie tacos, which was the only reason we came here today. Still had a nice lunch.”
“I don't care for the loud music. When I go out to dinner I like soft music or no music. That's just me, though. I am sure the majority likes it because it was packed. We had to wait 25 minutes to be seated.”
“1st time visiting, Justin ( with long hair ?) is an amazing waiter. ? I enjoyed my dinner so much I returned for breakfast! The food was on point, the service was top notch, atmosphere was relaxing. I would come back just for this place! ❤️”
“The employees here are super friendly and bubbly which makes for an enjoyable experience. They are happy to make whatever pizza you like if it is not on the buffet and I've never once felt attitude or aggravation from a worker there for being asked to make something fresh even though there is a few slices of the same pizza left on the buffet or you know little things like that.”
“Visited for an early morning breakfast. Pleasant surroundings, nice environment just off the lobby of the Holiday Inn in Lake Charles. Very attentive servers and breakfast prepared well. Downsides were a lengthy wait and expensive $$$ breakfast. Okay if one is staying at the hotel as no other establishments are within walking distance.”
“Food & service was excellent. A bit pricey, but great food. It was quite noisy as the restaurant was quite busy. People were standing all over the restaurant. It was not relaxing at all.”
“The Manager and servers were great. The food was excellent. The manager checked up on us often. He even asked if we wanted new fries when we told him the original ones were not very crispy.”
“So grateful for Matthew’s great service at Landry’s this past weekend. We were a big party and Matthew took great care of us that night, plus recommended some delicious food.”
“What a Gem!! Kim & Tom, the owners, have made this place so good! Kim’s flair on her themed decor is ever changing & very unique.They do a lot of wine tastings & have a good selection of small bites & wonderful cheeses.The parking is very easy with plenty of parking in the front & back.”
“2nd time and everything was just as good as the 1st! I could’ve eaten a plate of the brussel sprouts by themselves. Think this place will always be a must when we visit Lake Charles!”

“5 people on shift working this morning while I had breakfast. Every single one of them upbeat, working the whole time on a task, and providing excellent service. In today’s service industry? Unheard of. Very pleased with this location every single time I come.”
“This is the cleanest and quietest Waffle House I've ever been to. I almost thought they were closed because we were the only car in the parking lot. We were greeted upon entry, the staff was in a great mood and very kind. I even got an extra waffle because they accidentally made two. I felt like I was in the twilight zone and was debating on whether the food was going to be any good, lol. If you know you know. I'm happy to report that the food was still as good if not, dare I say, better than usual. My waffle even had a li'l crisp to it. I now see the allure of small town living and will be making my transition to a country girl so that I may have this dining experience more often.”
“I haven't been to waffle house in a long time. I just wanted to stop and give this place some recognition. The food was good. The service was A+. Our server, a young lady, was the epitome of customer service and satisfaction. One of the best servers i have had in a long tome anywhere. I will probably be back again time permitting. Keep up the good work young lass”
“We were at the casino for a comedy show and started looking for coffee while walking around before the doors opened. PJs coffee was actually sold inside of the store called Market Pantry. Prepared meals like sandwiches and salads, other beverages as well as desserts are also sold here.”
“First time ever at a Waffle House & was soooo good! EXCELLENT service from Candie who was even sweet enough to share fun facts about Waffle House! She takes a lot of pride in this company & as a small business owner, my opinion is she should be considered for management of some sort ❤️”
“Drive thru awesome ??? fast friendly and on point ? comes with the meal ! 3rd time going drive thru ,the one on Hwy 14. By the railroad track close that down Disgusting attitude, service and the food I don't even want napkins!”
“We had gone to Dennys a couple of weeks ago, it's a go-to after doctors appointments for us, and it was terrible. They gave us the wrong food, my french toast tasted undercooked, and the service was almost non-existent. We didn't want to go back but I just wanted some pancakes.. I'm glad we did!Joscelin made it a wonderful experience! We were taken care of and felt very comfortable being there. Unlike the last time where we felt like a nuisance. So, thank you to Joscelin. I still get to have my pancakes!!”
“Depends on which McDonald's I'm rating here. Best one I've been to in town where the employees are always friendly/nice and food is right is Broad St McDonald's. All other ones are hit or miss.”
“Unfortunately we are not members but guests. I was asked to speak at a civic club meeting there, and since it was hosted at the Pioneer club I said yes. Food great, ambiance excellent, service superb.”
“Great food. Great atmosphere, great place for a quick bite. They could use some more help with the daily duties, they seem a bit short staffed. But overall a great place to visit!”

“This place has the best cracklings and service in the entire area! This is the 5th time we have stopped here when passing through and trust it won’t be the last.The cracklings are always fresh and the service is always with a smile. I wish I had photos to upload but we ate them too fast lol.I will advise anyone to stop here and purchase a lump sum so you can have some for later especially if your not from the area.”
“Ordered the Dixie. Soooo good! That cajun saurkraut was just so dang tasty and the alligator dog was perfectly spiced with great texture. It's a pity we were just passing through!!”

We will definitely come back to this place many more times on our travels as long as they're open!Kid-friendliness: They loved my children and didn't change the way they served us just because we had kids! If anything, they were more attentive to their needs than we could have asked for!”
“We came in with a big group and their friendly and accommodating service made for a great meal experience. They were able to make something for folks with different dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc) and the flavors were awesome. I got the Mediterranean fish plate, it was filling and flavorful! Check them ”

What more can I say except Hummus?!?Dietary restrictions: Staff is more than happy to work with dietary issues upon request.”

“We always love a trip to LULU'S! Never had a bad experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and almost as sweet as their delicious treats!! We've tried a bunch of their different specialty snocones and I'm not sure we could pick a favorite, but if it's your first time, you can never go wrong with the strawberry cheesecake! Just typing this review has me craving one! Couldnt give this little shop enough praise!Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly cups and pouches to minimize messes and tons of different flavors any kid would love! This is my sons favorite spot!”
“Got there at the very last minute so we ordered take out and sat by the lake for a picnic. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! Thanks to the staff for making it happen ?”
“Delicious! Looks like a tiny hole in the wall, but the service was excellent, prices were very reasonable and the kolaches melted in your mouth. I would definitely recommend. Not too far from McNeese campus. Definitely worth checking out.”
“We ordered a family dinner for 6 to eat at a Bible study and the food was delicious and more than enough to feed all the guys there, and some left over. And they were quick! Thanks for the great service and meal.”

“Delicious crawfish! Their seasoning is perfect! Their sides are just as delicious. Prices are fair. They have friendly services by polite peeps. Once again, The Crawfish Stop has outdone themselves.”
“The crawfish were great!! They were very well seasoned and peeled excellent. The dipping sauce was unique but very tasty. The corn, potatoes, and mushrooms were good but were not boiled in the seasoning.”
“People were lined to the door when we walked in. Due to social studies fair. They were fast, and the food came out hot. Everyone we spoke to was nice. We were able to get in, sit, eat, and out in 30 minutes.”
“The crew last night had my back. I guess they remembered me and what I usually get, because even though I ordered it incorrectly they still served it to me exactly as I like. Great job!!”

“Famous is currently closed but this place has employees from famous there and you can get your soft spicy cracklins here!!! We drove from Houston and we were pretty sad that famous was closed but we saw a sign on the building pointing next door to 2 good sandwiches so we checked it out and thank God we did! This was on Feb 27 2021.”
“The food is always hot and taste great. The services is always professional. And the place is always clean.Kid-friendliness: Casey is a fantastic server. Polite, knowledgeable on the menue, and ontop of everything. Fantastic service.”
“They are a Chinese bistro, meaning all your American Chinese classics will be big portions and yummy sauces.No where in lake charles can you find a restaurant that is consistently on time if not early with their meal times.They work extremely hard all day long, the main guy up front can take 2 orders in person, 2 over the phone, and still seat and wait on tablesI doordash here (over 200 orders last years from here) and because of the service for doordash, I choose to eat here if I want Chinese food and I live near napoleon and Ruth in sulphurI gladly keep jo jos warm in my hot bag and it's ALWAYS worth it”

“I drive all the way from Dallas. These pies are the Best! I just hate I've made a few blank trips only to get there and they are closed for a week again! Very disappointing when businesses are not open for business during business hours, especially when online it says they are open.”
“Shannon is an amazing owner & bartender. Amanda is always such a great time to catch up with her beautiful self & always fast & genuinely happy to serve the drink of your choice! We had fun on Fat Tuesday seeing a lot of my husband & my charity group we were involved with years ago!”
“We stopped in on a Saturday night before going to the casino and were absolutely blown away by the food, atmosphere, and how quickly our food came out. This will be a staple for us for now on. Samantha was a fantastic waitress and I highly recommend this restaurant if you haven’t tried it.”
“I work up the street from here and they are always friendly. Service is quick and it just feels like you're in someone's home being served. Love it here best SUBWAY!!”
“This place never disappoints....Crawfish bread and gumbo are to die for...But I can't go without getting the Stuffed Redfish...Along with the wife getting the fried shrimp”
“We went here for a business plate lunch. Not disappointed. Fried Pork Chop was excellent. Tasty Yams and satisfying rice and beans.Fantastic Corn BreadIt’s wonderful how they bring the Corn Bread and a slice of Chocolate Cake out first. Start with dessert!No wait, seated immediately.Friendly home grown service.It’s trusted homemade food that you can depend on for a great lunch in simple Louisiana atmosphere.Will return.”
“Oh I’m giving them 5 stars they were the best crawfish I had in a very very long time they very very big easy to peel and very juicy and seasoned perfectly!!! I will most definitely be driving back across lake Charles for these !!! My favorite new spot so worth the wait in line”
“Because we eat spaghetti and pizza regularly at home, we decided to try something different: Greek salad and the gyro platter. I am half Greek and have been to Greece many times, so I am going to assess the food more stringently than someone not used to it.The salad was ok, but it was more of a twist on Greek salad and not authentic. There were green olives, whereas the original has black; there were carrot pieces, whereas the original has none; there were pieces of cheese other than feta, whereas the original has only feta. Also, the size of the various components seemed off. The gyro platter was more authentic and the fries were properly crispy.We went early in the dinner service, so we had fast, attentive service. The atmosphere was good also.”
“I have bought daiquiri's from a lot of d-shops, but Daiquiri Shack has the best customer service I've experienced at one. The staff was very nice, and didn't mind answering any questions I asked. This will be my go to D-Shop in Lake Charles!”
“Always quick and friendly service. Very much the "Cheers" of Lake Charles with a local vibe and instant friends. Bartenders are always fast with the refills and conversation. Def recommend!”
“Definitely a great local spot. We were passing through town and stopped here for bar food and draft beer. The food was hot and exactly what fried bar food should be - salty and everything served with dipping sauce. The drafts were cold and served in pre chilled glasses. Sitting at the bar, it was clearly a place that draws a steady stream of regulars.Not dirty or dingey enough to call it a "dive" but those good vibes were there.”
“KD's Special Hashbrowns are soo yummy. I topped them with a couple of fried eggs. I really enjoyed the coffee. We got there early so parking was easy and we didn't have to wait.”
“Philly meat was good, but one star off for the kraft single style cheese. A good omelet has to have good cheese. Otherwise, salsa is great, pancakes are delicious and service is excellent.”
“Greeted by my name with a smile ? always nice time and meet wonderful new friends there great house pool sticks best in town for only one pool table but such a fun time shooting pool”
“I came here on a salesmans' recommendation and was not disappointed. This is a small walk-in, drive thru bar with seating inside and out. The atmosphere was noisy and cheerful, staff was great. What I ordered exceeded my expectation!”

“I am actually an employee here and my coworkers are phenomenal and incredibly attentive. Funny and respectful. The overall energy of the entire restaurant is just relaxing and classy. The kitchen pays attention to detail and makes gorgeous and delicious food. In case any customers were wondering if the employees are treated well behind the scenes.....WE ARE. I find our boss to be the most down to earth boss I've ever had. The type of boss to get in the kitchen and help his employees if they need it. He jokes with us, works with us, and helps us to be our best at all times. Which is never an issue because he won't tell us to do anything he wouldn't do and hasn't already done himself. I've never worked in such a wonderful environment. And hope to work and eat here for a very long time.”
“One of the best Mideastern food restaurants around. Service was excellent, pricing was good and reasonable for the price. Whole crew treated us as a food critic covering them.”

“I've been eating at Jim's since I was a kid, and the food is always awesome! The quality of their food has never changed. It's fresh, delicious, and made to order so it's always hot when served to you. Their prices and their service are great too! The popcorn shrimp dinner is my favorite, but everything on the menu is awesome! I highly recommend Jim's if you want some amazing fried seafood!Kid-friendliness: I took my 12 year old nephew to eat at Jim's and he loved it! I've been eating at Jim's since I was a kid so it's definitely a kid friendly place. I don't know any kids who don't love popcorn shrimp and fries.”
“If I could score higher than a 5 I would. Crawfish were awesome. Big and perfectly seasoned. Super nice staff. I highly recommend. I will definitely be back for ”
“We found this via Waze. As we pulled up, I wasn't sure I'd like the location as it was attached to a casino. The restaurant was well separated from the casino. No casino noise, nor smoke reached us.So glad we went into the restaurant. The food was FANTASTIC.

“I live in Oklahoma City visiting my son and his family. I was blown away...Peyton was amazing server. Food incredible. My new favorite place to eat in Louisiana. Adding the crab cake to the top of my seafood pasta. Wow. Best bread pudding I've ever had. Thank you to you're entire staff. AmazingKid-friendliness: We had my 5 month old granddaughter with usLived that the staff came over to see her”
“This amazing place is a family favorite! Sorry, but the photos were taken outside during Mardi Gras, and could never do their food justice. My newest favorites are the Lamb Trata and huge pretzels!”
“I’ve been to this place off an on for years. The menu has usually been a little boring for me and then the food was middle of the road and not worth reordering. The burger was always a safe bet because it’s one of the best in town. The dinner tonight was really fantastic. The cocktails were however a miss. I tried some that I’ve never had there so maybe that’s on me 0/3. The winner of the night was the food. The shrimp and grits was perfect albeit a smaller portion. The Brussels sprouts were also spot on perfect. They’re not your normal boring sprouts, and it’s a big enough portion to share or to turn into a meal. Looking forward to my next outing here.”
“I’m a very picky eater, and this place is absolutely amazing. The food, the service, everything. I don’t drink tea or smoothies, so I ordered a soda, and they put it in a boba cup with a kawaii top on it. If I could give them 6 stars I would.”
“Our waitress was super attentive & just on point overall. I ordered the crawfish & shrimp pasta absolutely perfect! Their bread is to die for & the lamb lollipops were cooked excellent ??”
“The food is always fresh. The order is made per instructions. The service is great.Kid-friendliness: They have a nice set up outside with games to play while you wait.”
“We went in for an impromptu date night and we're seated within 20 minutes. The crowd arrived shortly after we did, and like usual it didn't slack off for a while. We had fried grean beans, booked crabs, fried crawfish tails and fried fish and shrimp platter. Every was delicious. The service was good especially for how busy it was. Our server Sarah (If I remember correctly) was very attentive and got our food out to us quickly. My only complaint is that as the crowd got thicker it spilled into the dining area. Pretty soon we had people standing directly behind us while we are and were forced to listen to their conversation ?. Seafood Palace is a staple in the lake area and even a crazy night is always a good night when you eat their food!”
“i tried Golden Hooks for the first time today and it was a good decision. i ordered the wing (3) & shrimp (8) plate (comes w/ fries & drink) for $12 & i feel it was worth it. fries were good, shrimp were good but their wings are a good size and taste soooo good. my friend tried them and we immediately went back in to place her an order. she got the 6pc wing & fries (no drink) for $11 and she totally enjoyed it. so if you’re gonna try anything, i definitely recommend the wings!!!! i also want to add that the service was good as well.”
“The food and the atmosphere is incredible. Everything is prepared and cooked to excellence from Seafood entrees to their steak and an extensive wine list, which will surely pair this delicacy! keley and the gang at the bar are terrific at and very knowledgeable of all their wines and spirits. I usually sit at the bar, but definitely make reservations because this is a very popular five star restaurant.”
“Stopped on a Sunday traveling home from Galveston to Florida after a cruise. Service was great, pleasant and fast. Food was delicious and plentiful. Ambiance was family friendly and fairly quiet. We had a nice time and enjoyed our meal. We will be back again if we are in this area again.”
“This place is wondeful. From the atmosphere, the wondeful playlist, the delicious food and excellent customer service from our Server Mariah. She was so detailed and was well familiared with the menu. We will definitely come back.”
“The service was well beyond our expectations! The food was great and the atmosphere was awesome! A true hidden treasure for sure. Our orders were cooked to order, fresh and HOT! WE WILL BE RETURNING FOR ONE OF THOSE BLUE BELL ICE CREAM SHAKES!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramps are located on either side of the building. Ample parking was available.”
“I visited this place in the weekend of Mardi gras and I seated on second floor. The view was pretty and enjoyable, all the activities from Mardi gras.Parking: The parking is located in right hand side.Kid-friendliness: It's a kid friendly restaurant.”
“We played music here a few weeks ago. We had a great time and so did the crowd. The food was really good and the bartenders were very nice and accommodating. If you're in Lake Charles, check out Chasers!”

BBQ West
“I come over from Texas to handle some errands in Lake Charles and stumbled upon BBQ West and decided to have lunch. I was so impressed with the food and the friendly staff. I plan on driving the hour over again soon to eat!!!”
“Love Mary's. Great friendly people. Michelle and Alicia, and all the bartenders are super. Local live bands. Especially every Wednesday night 7-10 p.m. jam sessions. Always awesome entertainment, welcoming always. Great food, please tip your bartenders, they work very hard to give you great service”
“In my opinion, best kept secret in Lake Charles. Great pizza, great wraps, great calzones! One of our favorite go to's for great tasting food in a very quick time. Favorites are the chicken florentine wrap and the Angry Pig wrap, pizza or calzone. Went this evening, as usual food was great and fast.”
“Wait was a little long on the last visit, but it was a busy Saturday night.Food is always good. And amount of food is excellent.Kid-friendliness: I have two 21mo babies, they brought them crayons.”
“Our favorite place we ate in Lake Charles! Quaint little place with AMAZING food. The burgers and sides are like homemade and the price is right! The service was unbeatable!!! Will be back!”
“I got to experience this little restaurant with my daughter and my granddaughter. The atmosphere was so friendly and family-oriented, I really like the place when we walked in. I don't recall what my granddaughter got, but she liked it. My daughter got a platter with a chimichanga, a burrito, and a quesadilla. Plate was full. I ordered what I thought was going to be a chicken straight taco, and I was not disappointed! It was a regular sized taco, with plenty of chicken on it. I asked If they might have some spicy or salsa, and our server brought out a little bowl of the tastiest smoky salsa I've ever eaten. It was nicely spicy, not too little, not too much. Just the right amount of spice for the smokiness of the salsa. We had plenty of food, and my daughter was able to take home most of her meal. Our server was great, she never even had a notepad. She just memorized our order, and I don't know how many others. Lovely young lady.I see below that I could take pictures and add, but I was too busy stuffing my face at the time. Didn't even think about it.Parking: There was plenty of parking for the size of the building.Kid-friendliness: We saw several families there, and they seem to be enjoying themselves.Wheelchair accessibility: The building is on the ground, wheelchair access is very easy.”

Asia
“I took my work family out for dinner at Asia. We were given so much more than just dinner. We were given an experience with phenomenal food and service. Jason made our evening unforgettable, and we cannot wait to go back. He chose serval dishes for us to share, and everything was fabulous. The crawfish fried rice, drunken noodle, Rockin’ Shrimp and any of his suggestions are highly recommended!!”
“Great boiled crawfish! Drive thru ease... Good size crawfish with a great flavor (not too spicy, but not without flavor). Overall, thumbs up... Repeat customers. It's also been easy to reserve crawfish for pick up.”

“Awesome all the way around. Waitress was very sweet. The food was delicious, some of it was the best we ever had. The Irish Mule was spot on. We had some business to do in Lake Charles and just pulled this place up. We will definitely go back again. Keep up the good work.”

Salata
“One of the freshest salads I have had. All three employees were exceptional, nice and pleasing. Can't wait to go back.Dietary restrictions: You pick what you wish to eat.”
“Paul, the pit master and the entire team are amazing. The food is just the best, i always thought we bbq'd best in Texas but Paul and Silas have us beat. When your in Lake Charles Pauls Rib Shack is must stop.”
“Excellent food and great service. The staff is friendly. The curry chicken and j*** chicken are out of this world. I will be trying the pork stew next time on the recommendation of the owner.”
“The crawfish were great!! They were very well seasoned and peeled excellent. The dipping sauce was unique but very tasty. The corn, potatoes, and mushrooms were good but were not boiled in the seasoning.”
“I finally found a Chinese restaurant that serves Mandarin Chicken, like the dish served in New Orleans Chinese restaurants with the brown sauce. It was delicious! I would ask for extra sauce on it next time. We also had the egg roll, which is hand made every day, egg drop soup, and combination fried rice, and everything was fabulous. I visit my family in Lake Charles often, but we are originally from New Orleans, and Mandarin Chicken is the one Chinese dish I've been missing the most. I am glad we found this place.”
“I don't care for the loud music. When I go out to dinner I like soft music or no music. That's just me, though. I am sure the majority likes it because it was packed. We had to wait 25 minutes to be seated.”

Pujo St Cafe
“The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the mimosa flight had WAAAAAAAY too much juice & not enough champagne (at least 60% juice). To the point that it made the flight undrinkable. What I suggest is asking for all the juices on the SIDE so you can do your own mixing. Other than that their Sunday brunch was great! Service was a bit slow….but the enclosed front porch was beautiful & food was delicious!”
“This is one of my favorite spots to grab a quick poboy. I always order the Pappy poboy with jalapeño mayo and I’m never disappointed!! It’s a very laid back chill environment that’s perfect to hang out with friends on a Friday night.”

Ice Bar
“Jace was amazing! He made me a delightful pear martini. Upon request he bruised it perfectly. It made my heart so happy! Skilled, knowledgeable and wonderful craftsmanship.”
“1st time visiting, Justin ( with long hair ?) is an amazing waiter. ? I enjoyed my dinner so much I returned for breakfast! The food was on point, the service was top notch, atmosphere was relaxing. I would come back just for this place! ❤️”
“My wife and I went to get a couple of frozen margarita's tonight. Service was awesome from Kaitlyn Ashworth (amazingly not relation to Charley). She might be our favorite Ashworth since we lost our other favorite Ashworth!!!! Thanks for keeping our chip basket full, we appreciate it.”
“LSU was good . Shrimp Soba was good , pineapple upside down was okay , could be a little sweeter . Presentation beautiful . Service — amazing . $48 for everything . (2 entrees , martini & dessert)”
“This place was simply amazing. The effortless planning with Jake and Luke was a breath of fresh air. Choose this venue and catering for your next event. You will not be disappointed.”
“One of the best restaurants in Lake Charles. You can hear them chopping all the time and see them throw the bread if you peak in. Very healthy fresh and flavorful. This place is a true blessing! Raja puts his ? and soul into his food.Grateful!!!”
“I had the southwest chicken power bowl (or something like that) and it was really good. But what really stood out to me was the service. Walking in I sort of expected the typical fast casual service - meaning not great but not bad either just nothing special. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service that Skyler provided us. She was, friendly, checked on us, and brought us out the left over salads that wouldn’t fit in our pita pockets. But most of all it really seemed like she cared. Keep it up!”
“Food & service was excellent. A bit pricey, but great food. It was quite noisy as the restaurant was quite busy. People were standing all over the restaurant. It was not relaxing at all.”
“We didn't want casino breakfast so we hopped across the street here. The breakfast tacos were awesome and my wife and I also had some Tequila Sunrise drinks that were perfect!”
“21+ atmosphere with great casual food. Our favorites are then onion rings, duck wontons, and spicy chili dog! We come here when visiting family and the service and quality stays the same even years later. A true Hidden gem of a laid back bar. Sunset plus the waterfront views makes a great evening for dinner.”
“Although a truck I ordered the fish the potion for the price was excellent even though they ran out of orders I came about 5pm the young lady explained that the building will be open soon. I pray that it does finally real down home cooking. If the fish and fries were beyond delicious I can only imagine what the rest of the menu taste like. I pray God ? speedingly help them open their building. GOD BLESS”
“Let me tell y’all something….. Crawfish is on point! I had to stop myself and take a picture bc these are the biggest I’ve had in awhile. Plus, I got 3lbs of crawfish (1lb shrimp, 2 corn, plus 2 sauces) all for $31 on Tuesday! I’m sold on Crawsfish Stop!”
“Food was great. Had burger combos. I would dare to suggest not quite so much butter on the buns, kinda took away from the flavor of the burger. Overall was really good meal.”
“Awesome service and food. Great place to have a bite and watch sports. Gabriel and Susan really made our experience much better, and we will definitely be coming back!”
“The fine dining of Pizza! Absolutely fantastic pizza and GREAT service! A pleasant surprise every time we go.Update: Fantastic as usual! You just can't go wrong.Wheelchair accessibility: I am a BAKA amputee and a full-time wheelchair user. I had zero problems gaining access to the restaurant. I did not use the restrooms during our visit.”

All of the food is spectacular here and they have a friendly staff and Owners the atmosphere is very pleasant you eat in or out on the patio very nice thanks guys.”
“I've visited this little spot in the mall several times. There are relatively few reasons for me to even visit Prien Lake Mall, but Ichiban is always a stop when I do. Fantastic sauces and ginger.”
“I loved this place from the waitress to the food it was great..... They even gave me a delicious strawberry cake for my birthday and showed they cared it was my birthday. Will most definitely go here many more ”
“The fried pickles are amazing! The rest of our food was good also. I gave 4 stars because they charged me $10 for a very small cup of broccoli soup that had no broccoli in it and it was more of a water consistency than a ”
“We were in Lake Charles La visiting and decided to try Rikenjaks for lunch. I've heard so many good things about this restaurant we had to try it. Once we arrived the parking lot wasn't very full which was perfect for us. The patio area has a nice crowd. The kids and adults were really enjoying the giant Jenga and the checker game also. Once we went inside we were greeted with a hello and shortly afterwards our server Caroline Z came over. Once we got menus we were informed that they only have a small menu with burgers and appetizers during the week, but on weekends they have a bigger menu. We both order sweet tea and after looking over the menu we both decided to try the burgers. We decided to start with the southwestern eggroll appetizer and they were delicious. For our main courses I decided on the Brewpub burger which consisted of beer battered onion ring, pepper jack cheese, bacon and smoky barbecue sauce with Cajun fries. My hubby ordered the American Classic Burger which consisted of 8oz patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion with mustard and mayo with waffle fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. The burgers were huge and very tasty. The fries were awesome. The burger was so big we couldn't finish our fries, but we brought them home. This experience was the best ever and we will definitely be back.”
“Have known owners for years, and met them while working at different restaurant. Their creations and food were so good we followed them to their own place afterward. Never been let down and love everything that they make.”
“Enjoyed the food, was prepared correctly and service was good. They didn't have a few of the menu items and their signature bread due to running out. Friendly staff and enjoyed my lunch.”
“First off their food is DELICIOUS. everything I've ordered from here has Ben amazing. Tonight we ordered from them via door dash. We had an item missing form the order and they had already closed. My husband suggested to call and I was hesitant. He called for me and they were happy to make the item that was missing for us. Major kudos for answering after closing, and more for helping us out!”
“So grateful for Matthew’s great service at Landry’s this past weekend. We were a big party and Matthew took great care of us that night, plus recommended some delicious food.”
“Had my son’s birthday here today and I can’t say enough of how attentive and kind the staff were. They made the experience enjoyable and smooth. The kids and adults had a great time!”
“Plenty of chips and dip for the birthday party that attended the celebration. The atmosphere was wonderful, plenty of staff on hand to take care of everyone. Groups should have the margarita tower.”

Pho World
“Really impressive pho! The broth is very well flavored. I ordered the house special beef pho, and I would order it again. The toppings were very fresh and the portion is large. The services was very fast. I will definitely be back for more pho.”
“The Spanish speaking server wasn't friendly, but the bourbon chicken was really good with healthy portions. I should have passed on getting "gravy" on the rice bc... It's not gravy and it has little charred bits in it that I didn't care for. The steamed understand cabbage was good as well.Vegetarian options: Steamed veggies in a hearty serving”
“1st time visit. Had a baked potato stuffed with brisket. Oh man the meat was delicious!!! Unfortunately the potato was over cooked or old. Had a sample of the chicken as well and it was great. I will definitely give it another try!”
“Enjoyed our dinner! Service was great. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive and was very knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity and ensuring our food was safe! The food was good. I enjoyed the modified Ceasar salad and the cauliflower crusted pizza. My husband said his meat pizza was also very flavorful. Since it's a Casino environment and we went on a weekend became very loud once it got crowded. The ambiance was decent. Price was ok - a little inflated since it was a tourist area / casino environment but overall I believe it to be competitive. Would definitely return on our next trip to Lake Charles and do recommend to other visitors.”
“I discovered this Cravin' Crawfish when my go to crawfish spots were already sold out/closed. I like that they close at 9 for people like me who tend to eat dinner a little later. It was a little out of the way for me, but crawfish is life. This is a drive-thru and pick up crawfish place. You order at one window and drive around to the other window to pick up. Besides crawfish, they also have boiled shrimp, sausage, and crabs. I waited approximately 15-20 minutes behind one car to order. The lady who was working was friendly and sweet and apologized for the wait. I ordered 3 lbs crawfish, and because of the wait, she added free potatoes and a sauce! They also give out a punch card to customers: 3 lbs or free crawfish after 10 punches. Great customer service! As far as the crawfish, they were decent sizes, but I felt they were a little over cooked and a little spicier than what I'm used to and like.”
“This is my "go-to" smoothie place! I am here several times a week and always met with friendly service! I love using the app to order while redeeming my healthy reward points.”
“the burger is good but so tall, it makes it hard to eat. but don't let that stop you from enjoying this yummy meal!if you don't get the French fries, your life is not complete. they are like no other fries I've had before. I would go back for the fries!they have a salt grass seasoning that's soooo good. try it on your burger and fries!the chili is wonderful! it's served with chips, weird, but it works!bloody Mary is good. typical zing zang mix. comes with celery and a whole piece of bacon ??wait staff is great! attentive even though people were being rude to them.tip your bartenders and waitresses y'all!”

“Not much to say about Steamboat Bills, other than it was great food. There's a reason why the lines get a nice crowd. I got the small captains platter, which had 2 pieces of fish (not sure of the type of fish; I'm guessing white), fried shrimp, 1 stuffed shrimp, stuffed crab, and fries. All good, oh, and the coleslaw was amazing to. Yup, that's a definite stop off place if your traveling to the casinos. Will be going back again.Parking: Parking is kind of crazy. There was a guy trying his best to guide people to parking spots but people are going to do what their going to do. There was more parking in the back though.”
“Food was all fresh. They had crawfish and crabs but we didn't eat any. They updated the lighting on the buffet bars which really make it look way nice then before. We love panda n will most definitely go again.”

“The food was great and the service was exceptional. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean and pleasant. The only negative is that the music playing was very monotonous. I eat at Latin restaurants regularly and enjoy all forms of Latin music, but this music needed some variety. After 15-20 minutes the exact same drum beat with every song can get irritating.”

“I can not say enough about this place. it is a Treasure!! My husband made reservations for 12 of us and they were so accommodating. The service was incredible. Our food did not take too long and was absolutely warm and AMAZING! every single guest was beyond satisfied with their meal. Cocktails were great as well. Highly Recommend”
