re: Lunch recommendations Lafayette or Opelousas

Sunday will limit your options. If you have to eat in Opelousas, Soileau's Dinner Club is about it. Decent for Opelousas, below average when compared to Lafayette establishments. Service can be slow. Been around since the 1930's and not the best part of town.

Prejeans in Carencro / I-49 is under new ownership and has improved some of the older menu items. They do sell boiled crawfish and charbroiled oysters if that's on your short list. Touristy, and a Cajun band plays music at times which is unique & entertaining. Food is good, not outstanding compared to the early 90's when Chef Graham was in the kitchen.

Don's Seafood Hut on Johnson Street. Will likely be packed like rats since it's in the middle of Lafayette, open on Sundays, and lots or regulars eat there after morning church. Service can also be slow when it's packed. Charbroiled oysters are solid with a large menu and variety of seafood dishes.

Fezzo's has pretty decent food but located in Scott or Broussard. If choosing between the aforementioned, I'd probably do Prejeans based on location, and people from out of town will enjoy the food. Locals eat elsewehere since there are better options, especially Mon-Sat. Others will chime in with their .02 cents
