rachael's café

what a find :). what a gem. i stopped in for lunch today and had the chikcen friend steak lunch special green beans were fresh, homadebreadand potatoes/gravy. the chicken fried steak was perfection. all good fresh home cooking - seasoned just right - what a value for the price. i will be going back soon !

excellent food. i went to rachael's cafe' two different times while i was on a business trip. the first time i got a grilled seafood platter andbreadpudding, and the second time i ordered a grilled shrimp po-boy, duck gumbo, andbreadpudding. both times i went the food was excellent (i never go to the same place while on a trip so this really says a lot about the food). i would defiantly recommend this place if you are anywhere close.

excellent burgers on jalepena buns and thebreadpudding is delish!!!!!!!!

soop's ii the seafood gumbo.... soop's ii
the seafood gumbo had been frozen and then microwaved. i could tell because some of the shrimp were dark from soaking in the roux and one shrimp was pink, which means they used old frozen stock and added a little fresh ingredients. the fried fish was greasy and tasteless, everything lacked seasoning. the stuffed crab had a strange vanilla taste, i wonder if they mixed up the breads from thebreadpudding? i was hoping the service would have been better than soop's, which is famous for horrible service, i'm disappointed to say it was only slightly better. this place can't survive long on only friends as customers. maybe their other specials are good, i only tried the seafood platter, but i'll never know, because i'm not going back. is it too much to ask for fresh seafood gumbo?

amazing food. if your looking for a good home cooked meal, rachael's is definitely the place to go. i'v eaten lunch there a few times and have never been disappointed. the staff is always friendly and the portions are large. you cant leave without trying thebreadpudding either. its now a part of every meal i have there.

yum. went for lunch the other day after finding their page on facebook. delicious plate lunches, and amazingbreadpudding. i would recommend it to everyone

my dad and i read the reviews on urbanspoon and decided to give it a try. we were not disappointed! to quote dad, "mmmmm...good". i had the grilled seafood platter (the crab claws were my favorite) and dad had the stuffed catfish, which was also very good. we topped it off withbreadpudding.....the sauce was heavenly! wish i lived in lafayette, so i could come back!!!

great food. a friend and i ordered the crab sandwich, which was huge and delicious, and the smothered okra, which was a large portion and was delicious, and we also got a complimentarybreadpudding, which was delicious - not too sweet, no raisins - wonderful. we will be back!

will be regulars!. great little place! great food! started with a cup of seafood gumbo, loaded with fresh shrimp and crabmeat, seasoned just right, it was such a large cup that i shared it with my husband!. we decided on the special which was shrimp poboys. for $5 we weren't expecting much, well were we surprised, we got large poboys overloaded with fresh shrimp, fried perfectly. thebreadhad a soft middle with a light crispy outside that made it so easy to eat, which we did devour all of our poboys. we shared an order of fries which were the best fries i have eaten at a restaurant. then the owner who was our waitress, gave us a complementarybreadpudding to try. it was shaped like a mini bundt cake in a delicious sauce. i have eatenbreadpudding at a lot of places and this is my favorite. it was not heavy or overly sweet and it didn't have raisins, which i don't like inbreadpudding," a+".can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. this was an excellent meal at a great price.
