First of all, that not your grandma's Christmas cookie drink or whatever it was called is a drink of legends. Second of all everything else was awesome. We were just in town for the night, so we didn't hold back and ordered everything we thought we could eat and then a little more. The bill still felt extremely reasonable especially with the drinks and beers. This is five star dining and their prices aren't really even that much higher than a McDonald's meal if you don't go crazy like we did. Amazing experience and will return again happily if I find myself anywhere near the vicinity again (hopefully soon)

Walking in the atmosphere of this location is amazing. I love the style and how it sets the mood. They have a live band perform. The staff is knowledgeable about the food and give great recommendations. The food came out quickly. I overheard someone having an issue with their food next to us BUT the staff and the manager addressed the situation quickly and wonderfully. Our server checked in frequently. He offered to box our food up for us which was wonderful!
Cons: The entree I had seemed small in portion to others. Honestly, it probably was the correct portion of food a person SHOULD eat. However, I was hoping for a little more then just a small sweet potato, shrimp, and one side (asparagus) for the price. So, I would suggest trying a different meal if you are looking for more food to eat haha. Or I wish they would add an extra scoop of the sweet potato or a second side.
Pros: We ordered a bread pudding to go. The ice cream was phenomenal! I need to know what kind and brand it was.

Had a great time there. Service was polite and efficient.
The food was very good, even if many things were slightly too salty for my European palate. We had alligator bites and tuna/avocado tartar as appetizers, both were excellent. The pick-a-fish plate with the Chef's Catch was delicious and perfectly cooked. The chicken salad was good too although I would have liked a little bit more... salad 😅.
They have a good selection of cocktails, beers and wine. The two wines we had were good.

Cajun fusion was the food I didn’t know I needed to try before trying it. Everything I had, from the starter salad, to the entree was fantastic! I ordered the crawfish enchiladas, and would absolutely recommend those. They were the perfect amount of creamy and spicy. The service and atmosphere was also very enjoyable.

Everything was delicious! Staff was super nice & attentive. They offer different daily specials, which we took advantage of & ordered the stuffed duck. They gave us a bowl of the corn & crab bisque, because the duck was going to take a bit longer than expected to be served to us. In addition we had the stuffed flounder. Would recommend this place & would definitely come back next time we are passing through.

Overall experience was great. Our server was wonderful! We tried the Alligator BangBang for appetizer, and it was my first time. IT WAS SO GOOD, IT BASICALLY TASTES LIKE CHICKEN. My husband got the fried Catfish Mon Dieu, which he rated an 8/10. And i got the Blackened Chicken with creamy Tomato penne pasta, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. IT WAS SO GOOD I HAD TO TRY AND REPLICATE IT AT HOME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👍👍👍👍

Thank you Bon Temps Grill! We appreciate everyone involved in management, serving, cooking and cleanup! The food was delicious and the music and atmosphere was outstanding! And the football game was on!!!

The Bon Temps Grill is an excellent restaurant for families. My family and I stopped in Lafayette to spend the night and found this place. The 5-star reviews are right - the food is excellent! We tried the alligator bang bang and seafood stuffed mushrooms for appetizers and both were delicious. My son loved the Shrimp and Tasso pasta dish, my daughter loved her 6 oz filet, my husband really enjoyed the crawfish enchiladas, and my Bon Temps shrimp tacos were delicious. The sides with our dishes are also worth mentioning, particularly the jalapeno cheese grits and the corn maque choux - so amazing!!! We also tried the Gator Tini and the Creole Cocktail, both of which had an excellent blend of flavors. Our waiter, Devon, was knowledgeable and helpful and answered all of our questions about the menu. We highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're anywhere near Lafayette, Louisiana. It's worth a trip off the interstate.

This was perhaps one of the most memorably spur the moment experiences I’ve ever had. My family decided to go to this lovely southern cuisine restaurant in the great city of Lafayette, La. We were celebrating my graduation at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with lunch. We stumbled upon this restaurant by the proverbial "google search” method, and boy were we in for a delight. I decided to get the crab cakes, catfish Mon Dieu, and the Hurricane. The crab cakes were astronomically delicious, the Hurricane was perfectly balanced and coordinated well with the afternoon lunch. However, that catfish Mon Dieu was on some next level flavor and the service was exceptional. I give 5/5, well done.
Greg Tara
Everything was 10/10! We got the bang bang gator, shrimp po-boy, blackened chicken pasta, gumbo, etoufee. I literally have to have EVERYTHING next time I’m in town (I can do without the etoufee since I make my own). Amanda was beyond amazing, very knowledgeable and patient! We will be back. I’m leaving with a real taste of Cajun

The food and service were exceptional. We happened to be sitting in a high traffic area which wasn't great, but everything else was good. All the dishes were plated and executed quite nicely. Even the cheese burger my kid ordered was on a fresh bun with extra, unique seasoning. Our waitress was awesome. We will be recommending this place to everyone who will listen.
Jessie Stansbury
The food was really good. The atmosphere was nice. My server Alayna S was really attentive. I'm looking forward to going back.

Legit homestyle Cajun food. Not an overkill of the heavy stuff. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat. It does get loud. They had a live performance when I arrived and the singer had an incredible voice.
The food is delicious. I ordered the corn and lobster bisque and I was living life. The catch of the day fish was cooked just perfect. Spice blend was on point. Staff is friendly and helpful. Alden, my server, was incredibly knowledgeable and had an excellent grasp on all the details and menu options. I was appreciative that he would always offer to check-back with the kitchen to see if they would be able to make certain adjustments to my meal. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good Cajun spot. If I come back to Lafayette, I will be coming here again.

We got to try the gumbo while on the Cajun Food Tour, and it was to die for. I would highly recommend trying this dish!
James Carter
Great food and drinks paired with excellent service from Jordin (Jordi) and Kenadee! Hope I spelled their names correctly. I can now take eating alligator in Louisiana off my bucket list. Thank you for the great recommendations Jordi. Catfish with etouffee is the best!

Found out about this place on trip adviser, while in town for the crawfish festival. Friendly staff and the food was excellent. I had the jambalaya and it was spot on. My wife does not eat spicy food and had the steak and it was excellent as well and cooked as it was ordered. Overall great experience.
Bertie Dawn Robertson-Jenkins
This place is a must try in my opinion. The food is so well prepared and fresh. There is something for everyone on the menu. I have dined here four times in the last four months. Consistent, food and service.
Linda Frederick Craft
Our favorite place to eat in Lafayette, and we travel to Lafayette regularly - just to eat!! The food and the service are always excellent Last night was no exception - crawfish pie, bbq shrimp over potatoes, and blackened salmon topped with shrimp in a bechamel sauce - YUM!! And our server, Ciara was awesome... If you've never been, you're missing out...
Dustin Tillery
Best food I have had in Lousiana. Heather recommended the crawfish pot pie, I must that she was absolutely right on with the choice. The beer was cold, food great, service, hospitality, and conversation excellent! You cannot go wrong eating here.
Trish Crescini
OMG...
This place has the best food and wait staff. And the bread pudding was amazing!!
Amanda McCarty
I’m so glad I found out about this restaurant online. We were vacationing in the area from Texas and wanted to eat somewhere local that wasn’t a chain restaurant. We were very pleased with our food and service. From the outside, the restaurant didn’t look very special but the variety and quality of food was phenomenal. Their twist on a crab cake was a nice change from the usual crab cake. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the frog legs and the swamp legs platter. The banana fosters bread pudding was awesome. My only suggestion would be to add sliced bananas and pecans to elevate it more. We will definitely visit again when in Lafayette.
Ashley Dahlen
Had such a great experience last night! The service was top notch. Our server was amazing and the food was delicious.
Whitney Joy
I originally visited Bon Temps on a Cajun Food Tour, but last night we re-visited for dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious and the staff was extremely friendly. We ended up sharing a few different things so that we could get a variety of what Bon Temps had to offer. The jumbo crab cake and sausage board appetizers were wonderful. My favorite was the stuffed alligator that we got as an entrée; I found my new favorite way to eat gator! Along with the food, the servers were great as well; they were all knowledgeable and attentive. We had a great experience at Bon Temps and will visit again soon!
Tonya Williams-Lowe
The jalapeno cheese grits were amazing! Our waitress was fabulous. We had a very enjoyable experience here. We will definitely be back when in this area!

I had the pleasure of dining at your establishment this evening. I work at a local hotel, here in Lafayette, and have recommended your establishment per the rave reviews I have heard from my co workers and guests, but had never had the opportunity to experience it for myself.
This evening, upon entering your establishment, I felt instantly welcome through such genuine greetings by the individuals working the door and host stand.
Our server, a young man undergoing only his second or third day of training, waited on our table. He was absolutely incredible and a perfect new fit for your team. He was very friendly and hospitable. I wish I remembered his name, but please give him some recognition- he is doing great.
As for the food, absolutely incredible! I look forward to telling all of my hotel guests how wonderful my meal was and recommend to them what I had for their visit.
Thank you, Bon Temps for providing excellent food and hospitality to both tourists and locals in Lafayette, La!

Amazing drinks, food and service! Loved the crawfish pie and meatloaf amazing. More bread pudding than we could eat. Will definitely return again!
Laura Ponthieux Turner
This was our first time visiting this restaurant (and my daughter went to school in Lafayette for three years). I found the restaurant using my Yelp app when leaving Beads for Less.
Everything was great!!! The great greeting as we walked in the establishment, the waitress, service and more importantly, the food. There will definitely be a return trip in our future.

Delicious. Dreaming about the crab cake. I wish I could get the recipe. The seafood Cobb salad was amazing. Recommended by our waitress. She was super nice.
