- KKayeBaton Rouge / Lafayette •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe customer service and food was excellent! Upon reserving the date and I also noted that me and my husband were celebrating our anniversary. I was a little disappointed when I did not see any anniversary table decor.More infoVic & Anthony's - Lake CharlesPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Lake Charles•4.8
- MmargaretBaton Rouge / Lafayette •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoDining at the Chart House was a really pleasant experience starting with excellent service from Austin, our server. We ate a delectable wedge salad followed by flavorful prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes. Paired with a Daou cabernet in a cozy ambience, our meal was exquisite.More infoChart House - Lake CharlesPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Lake Charles•4.6
- SStephanieHouston •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had 5:45 reservations before the Anjelah Johnson show. The restaurant was PACKED, but surprisingly, the service and food quality remained stellar! Had to wait a little bit for our drinks from the bar, but after that, the appetizers (oysters rockefeller and crab/spinach/artichoke dip), salads and entrees (snapper ponchartrain) were served hot and fresh, and perfectly spaced from a timing perspective. Despite the insane pace of everything going on, the server was amazing, and the manager was awesome too. He was right there in the mix, helping out and making sure everything was running like the well-oiled machine that I've come to expect of Landry's restaurants. Highly recommend, but make a reservation, especially on the weekend!!More infoLandry's Seafood House - Lake CharlesPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Lake Charles•4.4

- KkalaHouston •49 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 6, 2025Steaks are always delicious, cooked to order. Generous drinks, crisp salad. Service a bit off tonight, tables not full when we arrived, some confusion on who was waiting on us, requested items (extra butter, needed a new knife) seemed to be forgotten until walking by you again and "Oh hon I'm on my way to get it no." But again, food was delicious and a 6 oz filet with crisp salad and baked potato for $34 is a nice deal!More infoSaltgrass Steakhouse - Lake CharlesPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Lake Charles•4.4
Discover Lake Charles
The cultural capital of Southwest Louisiana, Lake Charles is immersed in the Cajun culinary tradition and offers a seafood-centric restaurant scene. Shrimp caught fresh from the nearby Gulf is on many menus, and you can enjoy it sautéed, fried, baked, boiled or broiled. However, the most uniquely Louisianan shrimp dish is the shrimp pistolette, which can also be made with crawfish. It is a seafood-stuffed rolled drizzled in a savory sauce and then baked or deep-fried. Boudin, another local calling card, is a kind of Cajun sausage that some Lake Charles eateries make fresh and serve as finger food. Also commonly served is "bayou-style rum" made from local sugar cane. Finally, if you want to go all-out on local cuisine, try the gumbo, frog legs or gator meat.
