Poor Boy's Riverside Inn

It was our first time visiting Riverside, Lafayette. Me and my boyfriend choosed this restaurant because his local friend informed us to eat here. It was very lovely restaurant, and it was my first time visited Lafayette. We came on the weekend and lucky for us we got a table without making reservation eventhough the place very full. At first they gave us fluffy bread that I really like since I love soft and warm bread. And we ordered as a starter a bowl of CHEF RICHARD'S CHICKEN & ANDOUILLE GUMBO and yes, It is really award winner, I am new into Louisiana food, but so far this is the best Gumbo I ever had. And for the entree we order CRAWFISH DINNER, everything inside fantastic, especially the pie. And when we were in doubt decided to take sweet potato beignets or home bourboun bread pudding because we were to full to have both, our lovely server said to us she can arrange for us to get half of those. And it really superb experience. I will recommended this place to others friends, since we are a tourist crossing continents. Thank you for wonderful experience.

It's always hot and fresh. It's a south Louisiana staple, with the best experience and coolest little vibe. The food y'all is a must. We don't always dine in but we eat there as often as we can. Went a few days ago and got a poboy and onion rings for the first time and it was so dang good I ate it so fast. Those onion rings... those sweet potato beignets... the stuff crabs... the salad... oh just eat there and thank me later.

Riverside's Cottage hosted my sister's wedding last night and it couldn't have turned out better! The venue was beautiful, the food was amazingly delicious, but the staff blew my mind! Ms. Rhea helped me through the planning process, the owners, Richard and Lori showed up to greet us at the wedding and then Dolly and Spencer took care of the food and bar and us! I can't express how wonderful it is to know that there are still restaurants that treat patrons with such care and attention. Top Notch!!!! Thank you!
