We had the opportunity to eat here recently and I came away very impressed. Lagneaux's has been a seafood staple for years in Lafayette, part of the old restaurant legacy of the town. The food was exceptional. Boiled crawfish, shrimp, and crabs were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fried shrimp were fabulous, as were a number of other items. The restaurant is clean and the waitstaff very attentive and happy. I recommend this establishment to anyone who wishes for a taste of what Lafayette has to offer, in terms of seafood. Keep up the great work! I'll be back.

Took a little side trip to Laffy after seeing Lagneauxs consistently pop up on my timeline. There's a buffet offered on weekends and lunch hours. I have never trusted a buffet gumbo until I tried theirs. A little darker roux but overall solid for a buffet. The blue crab were perfectly boiled, wasn't too much a fan of the shrimp. Crawfish not yet on the bar but they do offer it closer to crawfish season for a few weeks. Overall a solid stop if in Acadiana.

Came here for my much needed seafood fix. I wanted to try the seafood dinner buffet. The waitress was pretty nice and helpful throughout the meal. It was rather busy so I asked another waitress for something to which I got a dry response from saying to wait for my server to be available to assist. That was a little rude. Besides that, I enjoyed the buffet. There was lots of choices to choose from. Everything tasted pretty decent.

A taste of Lousiana We visited this restaurant on the recommendation of the lady who cut my husband's hair. It's probably not the best quality but it's a really good option if you are new to Louisiana and Cajun cuisine. For $22.95 per person, you get to sample most of Louisiana's signature dishes. We thought that the best thing on the buffet was the deep fried crabs! The staff were super friendly and helpful - our server showed us how to eat a whole crab!

We were visiting our friends out in LA and they insisted on taking us here for dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived soon after it opened and there was line out out the door and the parking lot was overflowing to the lot next door. Thank goodness that the waiting area is sheltered and there is space to sit. We must have been waiting there for at least an hour. There was a bottle neck at the buffet but once we were able to finally be seated there was no longer a line at the buffet. Wow. So many options to choose from. My favorites were the fried shrimp, jambalaya, fried chicken, and basically everything fried. They had ran out of craw fish by the time we got in line. The peach cobbler was also amazing. Some people were there just for the crabs or just for the crawfish and were tearing through them like it was their job. Really solid and efficient way to get your southern food fix. Fun fact: they actually do have a menu and will give you a hard time about ordering off it...but my friend insisted and they were able to get her the food before we were all finished.
