👍👍 This is the best fish I’ve ever had in my life!!! My plate never makes it through the car ride home! The food is ALWAYS fresh and CONSISTENTLY delicious!! I missed Chef Harris’s cooking so much last year! I try my hardest not to miss her fish fry Fridays!! Thank you so much Chef Harris!!!

👍👍 I think they have the best ham and cheese Po’Boy in Lafayette. Great ham and delicious bread.

👍👍 We love Cajun meat market. This place rocks when it comes to ordering fried turkey on Thanksgiving & sides. We also enjoy ordering dinner for the family and picking it up ready to go. You can be sure to receive great food with excellent customer service.
