The truth is, you don’t become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word “authentic” on your sign. When you’ve served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too.
Grilled, fried or on ice–there’s time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable.
We’ve spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It’s a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you’re always part of the family.

I had the shrimp Alfredo while dining in, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The dish was very dry and lacked flavor. I was looking forward to a great meal, but I wouldn't recommend this based on my experience.

The food was great, their shrimp was a little overcooked but made up for that with the flavor. Our waitress was very knowledgeable but she didn't check in with us very often. Overall it was a great time and the food was worth it

This is my go-to place for seafood when I am in Lafayette - the grilled oysters are awesome, the seafood is always delicious, and the staff is always friendly. Today Miss Kelly waited on us and she was so nice! She was absolutely professional - but she also made the meal so much fun. Thank you for another excellent meal and experience! 🏆

Came here on a very slow Monday the hostess did not acknowledge me nor did the bartender. I came prepared to get some work done on my laptop and a good meal but left disappointed with no service. Can't give a review of the because of no service.

This review is from 3-11-26. First of all this location was phenomenal but unfortunately not all of Don’s Seafood are the same. I am traveling for work and ate here on the 11th and then tried the one in Hammond, LA on the 12th and vastly disappointed in that one. Their review doesn’t take away from my experience here. I sat at the bar and Kevin was my bartender. Very friendly and went out of his way to make me feel welcomed. I ordered an old fashion and he made sure I had the bourbon I wanted instead of just going with the house burbon. I ordered the stuffed catfish. The food was amazing and very fresh. Great flavor. The whole atmosphere of the place was fun and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place and Kevin deserves recognition and a raise. My review for the location in Hammond will be available and unfortunately it wasn’t anywhere near as enjoyable as this location in Lafayette.
