Prejean's

We had an appt in Lafayette so we stopped by trip place to catch lunch on the way back and it was definitely a 10/10!! We were seated within 2-3 minutes. The hostess was very pleasant! The booth was comfortable! And then Brooke showed up to the table as our waitress….she was bubbly, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and very nice (Will ask for her every time 🤷🏽‍♀️)! The blueberry lemon drop and the hurricane only required 1 because wooooo they were delicious and they were had just enough to get us to a good place. If I stayed closer, I would have ordered 2 more! We had the firecracker shrimp for our appetizer and the sauce was ok. Shrimp was fried a tad too long but otherwise good. We tried the gumbo threesome and it was a GREAT choice! All 3 were good but the chicken and sausage gumbo was my fave! That JU’s BBQ Burger was to die for!!!! My husband had the Chef Fried Rice and he said it was ok but he couldn’t stopping eating my burger long enough to know! It’s a must next time we come through!

Ordered a little bit of everything and unfortunately, did not like most of what was ordered. The best thing we had was the kids alfredo and the roll. The meat in the gumbo was over cooked. The crawfish enchiladas were mostly tortilla, with a small amount of crawfish in a sauce. The dirty rice was dry. Maybe we ordered the wrong items but we were not a fan. The service was good and the atmosphere was great. They have a gator in the front.

I visited prejans on the first night of a three day training in the Lafayette area. I had a recommendation from one of the locals in my class who said it was good food. I went the first night and was so blown away by the food and service that I ate dinner all three nights I was in town. The gumbo trio was to die for, the crawfish platter was next to a religious experience. My classmate had the pasta with a massive crab cake in the middle and was more than pleased. The flavor, the cost, the friendly service, and generous portions brought me back each night. I wish they had a restaurant in Oregon because I’d be there regularly! Do not miss the opportunity to experience this gem!
