Olde Tyme does an excellent fried seafood platter on Fridays.


My favorite seafood in Lafayette.

Over salted to the point it cuts your breath. Have been 3 times and did not like anything other than the onion rings. Done with this place.

Prejeans was always a tourist destination conveniently located at I-49 / I-10. It was legit when James Grahm was the head chef during late 1980's ~ early 90's. Menu had various food options including: elk, buffalo, antelope, axis deer, and other wild game. Owner Biker Bob ran it into the ground and sold it to Tim Metcalf (Deanos, Marcellos Wine Market) 2 years ago. New menu and the food & service have drastically improved. The food is good, just not the best Lafayette has to offer.

Fezzos and Uncle T's (both in Scott, 2 minutes off I-10) have great charbroiled oysters and IMO better food than Prejeans. Bon Temp Grille on Pinhook is another great option to eat, but it's 10-15 minutes off I-10 and Pinhook traffic sucks .


I bought a used copy of their cook book yesterday. It contains all the recipes for wild game that you listed. Unexpectedly It was also signed by Chef G and contained a pristine business card form thenPrejean's general manager, Dean Douglas.

Only people from Lafayette swear by Judice Inn. VERY overrated & it’s sacrilegious they don’t offer fries.

Honestly think market basket sausage is way better.


Surely, you’re not talking about their boudin.

now the other poboys are just regular lunch meat so I get that they are not any better than anywhere else, but the seafood poboys are top notch !


The week day specials in 2012-2014 were $5 post tax for a whole special of the day after 5pm. I specifically remember Wednesday was Sausage (might still be) and I'd grab one probably 3x a month. That and shrimp were simply incredible.
