I've had some pretty good meals there, when I've attended conferences held at the Hilton. I don't like the gumbo, there, though. There's a strange flavor and something about the shrimp that I can't put my finger on. Interesting thing is that you can order the gumbo with or without okra. I think cook it in per order, so it hasn't been cooked to death, if you're an okra lover.

The place has always been packed at lunch when I've been there.

Lauras,,, semi- soul food plate lunch..

I would just go to Olde Tyme grocery

St. Mary & Johnston behind taco smell

old tyme is overrated. fricking manda roast beef poboy... meatball sub that tastes like its out of a ragu bottle. chris's poboys is far superior.

Jesus there are some haters on this board. If Olde Tyme is not good enough for your taste then go to

Chris's Poboys and get the Chris's special...Amazing sandwich.

Or there is this mexican Tequira on Eraste Landry that has the best homemade mexican food in lafayette IMHO

Old Tyme Grocery sucks, period. I don't know why people rave about that place. If you want a shrimp poboy made with frozen shrimp that haven't been deveined and taste like iodine, then by all means, help yourself. The last time I went in there to pick something up for someone else, the refrigerated case was full of the processed roast beef loafs they use in their sandwiches. Boy, that made me hungry.

T-Coons is solid plate lunch food.

I hear you. the least they could do is chop up the manda loaf and mix some mcormicks packet of brown gravy and cook that shite a little bit... then you would have some gravy with the beef.
