    We love Charley G's! Food is always consistently excellent. Husband and I had crab cakes and a cup of turtle soup. He also had the house salad which he said was the best salad he's ever had at a restaurant. We also shared the Cajun smashed potatoes which were delicious. One son had a house salad and a bowl of gumbo. He said the gumbo was delicious but there wasn't enough of it. The other son had the fish special -- sheepshead filet with a crawfish creme sauce with lump crab and 3 fried oysters on top of mashed potatoes. He said it was "out of this world." Charley G's is a great "special occasion" restaurant and the perfect place to take out-of-town guests.

    Christmas Eve dinner! The food was absolutely delicious. Had the crabmeat cheesecake to start which was excellent. My family ordered the 12 oz steak, grilled Chilean sea bass with caper cream sauce, and the veal shank! My son loved the cheese pizza also!

    We have stopped by Prejean’s a few times over the years of traveling past Lafayette, and we will be back again. We enjoyed our food, especially the gumbo and etouffe. Our waiter today was very attentive and pleasant. Glad we had time for lunch!
