Reviews Rachael's Cafe

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a chicken sandwich at rachaels, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The combination of fresh ingredients and a delectable sauce made for an exceptional sandwich. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was top-notch as well. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I felt well taken care of. If you're a fan of chicken sandwiches and great service, I highly recommend a visit. It's a must-try for anyone looking to satisfy their taste buds while enjoying a welcoming atmosphere. 😄

Very good and a locals favorite Cajun Restaurants. The seafood gumbo is delicious, along with the oyster and shrimp sandwiches on jalapeño buns. The crab fingers are good also. The shrimp sandwich tonight was outstanding.

11/12/22 This eatery is still consistent! I absolutely love their shrimp and okra gumbo!!! Rachel's son is AWESOME!!! This is one of my favorite AUTHENTIC CAJUN/CREOLE SPOTS TO DINE AT! 6/21/21 I came for the first time around 5:20 and had the best service and best food! Ross was our waiter according to the name ticket at our table; however, the other waiters and waitresses would pick-up the slack for their counterparts to make sure the customers were good at all times (with drinks/ordering of more food, etc...): this was neat and a Very Good move by management! 5/5 Stars for that great hospitality strategy among the staff members. The food was the best, ever, too. Homemade quality! The restaurant has a real chill ambiance about it, too. I ordered: 1. A cup of shrimp and okra gumbo: came out warm, and it was certainly VERY good! 2. The Seafood jambalaya tates exactly how I do mine!!!! Now I know where to get the foods I enjoy when I don't feel like cooking! Lol 3. The potato salad was a basic salad like what maw-maw would make: straight up just the potatoes and eggs with mayo/mustard mix. Not too much mustard, though. More simple and bland--just like maw-maw would make it because she didn't want it over-powering the other great food she made. 4. The side order of okra is a 10/10!!!!! Who is cooking this food??????!!!!! They are the best!!!!! 5. Grilled bell peppers with crab stuffing and some tartar sauce made it just right! 6. Ordered 3 desserts: German Chocolate cake, carrot cake, and pineapple upside down cake: they came out bundt style. The pineapple upside down bunt dessert was the best out of the 2. I can't believe this place has been in Lafayette this long and I never knew about it. This place doesn't even show up on Google for places opened to dine at. Anyway, IF YOU WANT AUTHENTIC FOOD THAT MAW-MAW WOULD COOK IN HER KITCHEN, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!

Food was great here. Management and staff were nice and they accommodated our group (about 7) pretty easily, even though they had a rather large group dining already. Nothing super fancy, but clean space. Would recommend.

Really good food at a reasonable price. Two of us had the Rachael's Special seafood gumbo and it was great. I was in town visiting family and my brother brought me to the restaurant. Great choice.

Cozy little diner off the main road. The food was good. We both got the seafood platter. Lots of food for good price! However, the service was minimal. She was suppose to being back a tea and never did. Instead was at the counter messing around with some others there. Finally brought the check and we Sat for about 7 min waiting for her to come get the card to cash out (again at the counter) and finally we just left cash. The coconut sweet potatoes were really good though!

First time eating here. Gumbo was very good!! Guy that waited on us was extremely nice. Will definitely be back.

Had the meatball stew with smothered okra. The food was seasoned well with lunch sized portions. Great service in a good atmosphere.

Best Beets & sweet potatoes!!!!! Chicken fried steak is just awesome 👍 green beans excellent 👌
