We order alligator bites for appetizer and seafood platter to share. Fried alligator tastes just like chicken but firmer. Sauce is overpowered that cover the real flavor of gator. Seafood platter has fried catfish, deviled crab, fried shrimp and crawfish étouffée. Chef put the dried french fries next to the étouffée with lots of sauce. Not a good idea. The place is very noisy. I thought deviled crab has some crab meat but just lots of bread stuffing in it. Tastes awful. The waitress was very push as she wanted to go home. Will not visit them again.

Love the decor and the setup of this restaurant. Great service from the time you enter to the time you leave. Food is spectacular. Great flavor and properly proportioned. My only complaint was that it was noisy. Everyone seemed to be talking so loud as to talk over the table next to them which made the place loud.Thank you for your review! Yes, it can get noisy when we are slammed, such as when we have a pre-concert crowd. It is not typically that loud. Thanks again for your wonderful review of our food, service and decor!Steve S.

I was looking forward to visiting Don's after an absence of at least a year. It's just that...it holds nostalgic value for many travelers like myself (and Lafayette residents) but doesn't really measure up in seafood quality.My shrimp gumbo was just muddy water, it would appear, with a few morsels of tiny shrimp. The seafood platter featured small shrimp in a variety of preparations, but with the common ground of....average, at best. It was all bland and tepid. A disappointment. On the bright side, drinks were stiff and service was attentive. I wish Don's delivered on quality to match the semi-steep prices and the expectations of first-rate food.

The crawfish omelet is excellent! The omelet was hugh and packed with crawfish. Definitely the best item on the menu. The smothered rabbit was also excellent. Can't get food like that up north. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Only reason no 5 star rating was because most of the sides were just so so.

a Lafayette favorite known for grilling aged beef & fresh Louisiana seafood over southern hardwoods in a casual yet upscale atmosphere.
Reviewed By Michelle C
Charley G's has become mine and my husbands favorite special occasion dinner destination. Sure the food is on the expensive side, but I find it worth every penny and never leave disappointed. I love that they have seasonal menus and I find their dishes are definitely high end and inspired. The staff are so kind and welcoming and have great recommendations. The atmosphere is relaxed and doesn't feel pretentious. I have attended one of their "tasting" events which was so much fun. Loved learning about a local rum brand and sampling cocktails and small plates. I would recommend this restaurant to locals and visitors alike.Michelle, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We really appreciate your kind words. I look forward to sharing this with our team and we look forward to serving you again.Thanks again.
3. Louisiana Crawfish Time
Overall Ratings

Only open during crawfish season, which usually runs from January through June. Serving Acadianaâs best boiled crawfish and oysters on the half shell since 2000.
Reviewed By Mick751
This was my second trip to Louisiana Crawfish Time. The crawfish and boiled shrimp were excellent size and very nice! We got the regular (non-spicy) variety but the crawfish were still quite spicy. I prefer seafood to be boiled in the spices rather than seasoned afterwards. There was too much spice on the exterior of the food and was a little off-putting. The service was excellent and could not have been better. I would certainly return just would not get the boiled seafood.
