We had a great experience here. Stopped to grab lunch at a local family owned restaurant. We were greeted with southern hospitality and good food. The stuffed bread is a must. If you want to experience local, come here!

First créole experience and we are absolutely not disappointed!!! If you’re passing by Lafayette this is a must stop if you want to eat excellent food. The service was also great, and very affordable too. Best experience in Louisiana so far!

Amazing food and customer service. One of my favorite places to get a great tasting soul food plate lunch. Always leave with a full stomach and a smile. Red gravy meatloaf and a Creole Stuffed Bread is pictured. Can't beat that!

This was my first true experience with the incredible cuisine they refer to as Creole. Aside from my wife's Haitian cooking which is a bit different from the Louisiana interpretation. The Creole Lunch is very unassuming I'm appearance, and easy to miss if you are not...Read More

It is not a place for vegetarians. Even if you order a vegetable side, you will probably find some meat in it. But everything was tasty and I got a little extra to go.

Great little place. The creole meat bread is amazing. I loved the mint added to the unsweetened tea. It's the attention to detail and flavor that really makes this place one of a kind.

It’s just what you expect on a side road restaurant. The difference is the food was really good. The folks are taking pride in what they are serving and it shows up in the food. Down home country cuisine. Nothing fancy but...Read More

One of my favorite places! @ Jay Dee, maybe go to McDonald's next time instead of "trying" to down a really great restaurant! We all know MD's food CAN'T compare!!! You must be very young to want chicken nuggets rather REAL FOOD @Creole#!!!
