That's sucks , as their flounder dishes were the real deal

Years ago I was good friends with the head chef who was part of the Guidry family . At one time Guidry's closed for a month due to family conflict and leasing issues. They re-opened and appeared to be doing fine, especially since the parking lot is usually full and the location is right across the street from the Hilton (Double Tree)

No clue why they shut the doors for good as the previous issues may have surfaced again with no family agreement

Damnit. Lafayette is becoming chain central.

Guess it wasn't hip enough for the younger business people in town.

Was always excellent, fresh seafood prepared well.

I really hate to hear that. Ate there a lot when I was in Lafayette on business and staying at the Hilton. Didn't really see blue hairs there, though, but maybe I ate later than they did. There was always a good crowd which was a mix of families and couples. I don't really care whether the crowd at a restaurant is young or old. I enjoyed their food. Darn.

Sorry to see them close. Have to admit, we've only been once, but the food was good and reasonably priced.

+1 on Bon Temps Grill. Had the 6 oz filet there last week ($21) and it was very good. Love that place for lunch as well. I hope they make it at that somewhat odd location. The wait staff is very friendly.

Damn. Have probably been there 100 times with my parents. Never liked it as a kid, found it boring, but it was well done, straightforward south LA seafood. I haven't been there in over 10 years, wish I would have been recently (my south LA seafood appreciation has grown substantially since I've moved away).

Is there anywhere else with a comparable flounder/redfish topped with lump crab?
