Lauren Duraso We got the Burnt Ends for an appetizer and had to get an extra order to-go because they were so good. I got the grilled pork-chop which was the best pork chop I have ever tasted. I had the blackberry 75 and it amazing. Colby was our server and he was absolutely fantastic! Great atmosphere, great server, great food, GREAT RESTAURANT!!

Dakota Starr Stopped for lunch while in town and was really surprised by this place. Service was great. Never had to ask for a refill on our drinks. All of our food was hot and delicious. Got the fried green tomato and crab cake appetizer, shrimp and grits, oyster Orleans, and a dessert. The manager Amber was also fantastic. She would often pass and ask how everything was and if she could get anything for us while our waitress was busy. Very attentive and caring. Everything was great! We will definitely be back!

Alexis Kiley Five stars all around. This place has heart. Staff was kind and attentive. Come hungry, the portion sizes are generous. I felt like I was at a community gathering and offered a plate. It has a comfortable/homestyle feel. I would highly recommend this place!

Devin Lee 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!

Anthony Presley Absolutely great place. Warm and welcoming as soon as you walk in. It was very busy, but I only waited about 10 minutes. Jade, my waitress was absolutely great, perfect service, great attitude and personality. I ordered the catfish and shrimp platter (small), and the hush puppies. Hush puppies were fantastic, tarter sauce was the best Ive had in a very long time. Catfish was was crispy and delicious, shrimp were perfect as well. Dons will definitely be on my repeat restaurant list. Thank you for the wonderful food and experience. love stopping by Don’s Seafood whenever I get the chance! The seafood platter is always fresh and full of flavor, and everything tastes homemade. The stuffed crab is absolutely delicious, and the stuffed shrimp are huge and packed with flavor, always hits the spot. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. If you love great seafood, this is definitely the place to go!

Michele Sweet If you are in the LaFayette area of Louisiana, I recommend this restaurant. We stopped in for lunch, after looking for a local place serving up cajan seafood. When we walked thru the door we were greeted with a smaile, and were seated right away. Heidi was our server, and was very friendly from the time she walked up. I asked her what a favorite was and she said hands down crawfish enchilades with the jalapeno cheese grits. It was an item I was looking at and decided to go with. Hands down, it was great! My hubby got the crawfish etouffe, with rice. It too was great. Had to bypass dessert, but wouldve gotten the bread pudding if I could. If given the chance I would go back. The staff was great. The manager even stopped by to see how everything was.

John D. Guinn 5-Star Review for Walk-On’s – A Masterclass in Service by LaReyna If excellence had a name tonight, it was LaReyna. My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Walk-On’s this evening, and we were fortunate enough to have the superstar of the restaurant scene as our server. From the very first moment she walked up to our table, she set a tone of warmth, confidence, and genuine hospitality that you simply cannot teach. She was the perfect balance of professional and personable — the kind of server who makes you feel like you’re the only table in the building even though you know she’s juggling twenty things at once. Our food was outstanding, but I am convinced it tasted even better because of the way she took care of us. The mozzarella sticks came out hot and perfectly golden. The wings were seasoned just right. The fish tacos were fresh and absolutely delicious. And the gumbo — let me tell you, Walk-On’s should name a bowl after her because the way she delivered it made it feel like fine dining. What truly sets LaReyna apart is her intuition. She anticipates needs before you even think them. Drinks were refilled without asking. Sauces, napkins, extra plates — everything appeared exactly when it should. She checked on us with perfect timing: not too much, not too little. Just right. That is a rare skill in customer service and she has it naturally. And above all else, she carried herself with a calm, confident professionalism that reminded me of someone far beyond her years. Walk-On’s should be thankful to have someone like her representing their brand. She is an absolute standout, and tonight she turned an ordinary dinner into something special. To management: If you are not already grooming this young lady for leadership, you are missing a golden opportunity. She is easily one of the finest servers we have ever had at any restaurant — anywhere. We will absolutely be back, and we will absolutely be asking for LaReyna.

Adrian Silva Great experiencie! It was our first time here. All the staff was very helpful. Chase did a great job, explaining everything with very goodwill. Highly recommend this place. Thank you.

Noland Brown Staff was very nice and attentive, food was cooked and out hot very quick. This restaurant reminds me a lot of Dave’s Hot Chicken, if your craving that style chicken, it will definitely curve that appetite for it, but it’s not exactly the same taste but pretty close, the inside of the restaurant is identical to the inside of a Dave’s tho. Definitely enjoyed my food, We love Dave’s but the nearest is in Houston from us, we also ate at Blazin Hot Chicken in Baton Rouge and the food is consistent.

Eric Walsh Great little place! Fast service. Friendly. Food is very good. Can eat healthy here too! Will come again next time Im in town. Reasonably priced too!

lifesgoodintexas They have the ultimate cajun seafood buffet! They will literally serve you all the boiled blue crab you can eat. The price is right and the service just can not be any better. If you love Cajun seafood, this is the place! Go on your Birthday and get an awesome discount!

Graham A Wow - talk about the real deal. I was recommended this by a New Orleans food writer. The flavours here are incrediblly rich. This is the real deal soul food. Ill be back for more for sure...
