I loved the chowder but made the mistake of ordering a bowl....I couldn't finish it or my entree but it was soo good and rich and creamy. The shrimps were great and the catfish too....good potato salad but rather too much vinegar in the Caesar salad dressing. None of us ever made dessert! Service a bit ditzy at times

We had to change tables because of the air conditioning. At that point we got lost in the room, our food got lost and so did the service. An overly attentive waitress was training a new hire, then the room revved up and we ended up feeling like hostages for the check. There was an overcharge on 2 entries with... More

I have grown to use trip advisor to find a good place to eat. But in this case it was chance. I got off on the wrong exit and decided to take the business route to a place I like. My wife saw the sign for cafe and said lets just eat there. That's how we found this place. What... More

Had a family dinner there and the atmosphere was great. The service somewhat lacking - took about 20 minutes to receive our drinks and refills were spotty. The appetizers were great and everyone loved them. The main courses were good but my food was cold - disappointing! Everyone liked the taste but the food that was served last was not... More

Great music, mediocre food. We were seated as far away as possible from the music with our backs towards it. Shame because we were really there for the music and dancing! Maybe we should have waited longer for better seats. Food came and it was just ok, but maybe being from New Orleans I expect amazing food all the time.... More

We liked everything about this restaurant. The ambience really captures the heart and soul of Cajun Country. Wonderful people always out to have a good time. Not to be missed if you visit Breaux Bridge or the surrounding area. After stuffy Mississippi, Breaux Bridge was a breath of fresh air.

This place is one of a kind, a real gem. I first saw it on The Weather Channel years ago and swore I'd get there someday. We had to wait about 30 minutes outside before we could even get in, and when we did, we waited about another hour to get seated. People don't want to leave this place. Inside,... More

We went Saturday for the music and breakfast, it was soooo much fun! The food was good and the music and atmosphere excellent. Yes you have to wait in line for a table but that is have the fun and watching the dancing!

Go on Saturday for the Zydeco Breakfast (be in line by 7 a.m. it is ALWAYS popular ). Five dollar cover charge that you should get back if you order an entree. Locals and tourists mingle over AWESOME food, laughter and dancing. Do not miss the beignets for $6 (fried dough w/ powdered sugar). Friends, this is grease, dough and... More

We wanted to like this place sooo much! What a disappointment. Something in the kitchen was certainly wrong a few days ago when we stopped in for lunch. Even though the cafe was half empty, it took 30 mins. for us to get our soup/salad. And when the soup came, it wasn't even hot. The salads were somewhat tired --... More
