We will be in Laffy on Saturday. Looking for a lunch place, I will be in shorts and a polo if that matters. Cuisine and price range open. We will be in the Acadiana Mall area but anywhere in or near Lafayette proper is fine.


TIA

What kinda fare are you looking for?
You want counter service, sit down, etc…?

Pop’s for po-boys, both inventive and traditional (counter service)

Johnson’s for counter service plate lunches, smoked meats, and boudin

Blanchard’s for very good BBQ, also counter service

For casual sit down service Spoonbill Watering Hole and Social Southern Table and Bar are both good.

Johnson's is closed right now due to water damage.

Pimon Thai - incredible curry dishes.
Mazens - best selection of fish options
both are on Johnson street within 2-3 minutes from the Mall

This is our go-to but I didn't really feel like dealing with the brunch crowd even on Saturday.


We ended up on Spoonbill. Thank you to everyone for the recs several of the others are filed away for future trips.

If anyone has a "must order" at Spoonbill let me know.

Brothers from another gastronomic mother? Looking at the menu that was my choice of app and I was split between those two mains or the tuna.
