the little big cup

i'll try again (and did). went on a friday night. oddly, the place was not busy. there was a large buffet for $25 but i don't like food setting for an unknown period of time. service was excellent; atmosphere wonderful; food good but unremarkable.

grabbed a burger, not to shabby for the money. my guest went for the fish taco--says hmmm, good. if the weather is right, sit on the back porch over looking the river.

the service & atmosphere is great! it's nice to sit out on the deck on the bayou but beware of bugs. the food is ok. wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but my experiences here have always been enjoyable.

$17 for a soggy mediocre burger? never again!! save yourself a 2 hour wait and buy a $5 big macc. service will undoubtedly be better at mcdonalds too.

overpriced - overcooked – overhyped – location was 30 minutes off the main freeway. i will not be going back.

one word to describe my visit: "furious"
repugnant and disrespectful.

horrible horrible horrid service!! i was so excited to try this place out and see what this place has to offer. once we were seated at our table by the hostess, the wait staff did not say anything to us nor did they bring us water for 26 minutes. once they took our order, it took them 33 additional minutes to cook our food. so basically we waited for almost an hour from the time we arrived until the time our food was served. and the most disappointing thing about the experience is the bread on the poyboys was soggy. this is what we waited an hour for? this place is overrated, good marketing strategy though. don’t waste your time!

stay away, visit at your own risk!!!!!
on saturday april 10th i made reservations at the little big cup. my girlfriend and i were given a table outside on the lower level of the deck. within minutes both of us felt something bite us, but we dismissed it as mosquitoes. a few hours after we got home we noticed bites all over our legs and feet, and i had an allergic reaction to the bites. i had a doctor look at the bites on monday and i was informed that they were indeed chigger bites. the chiggers came up from the tall grass under the deck where our table was at. i called the little big cup and told the manager (erin chustz) about the chiggers and that they needed to spray that area so other customers wouldn’t get bitten. my concerns not only fell on deaf ears but i was dismissed and was told that the chiggers on their property under the deck was of no concern to them since the table was outside. this is not only a health issue and a safety violation, but it also shows a lack of concern for future customers that will be seated outside on the deck. since the little big cup dismissed my safety concerns so easily, i can only imagine the other lack of concerns they have for their customers such as cleanliness in their kitchen. i know one thing for sure; i will never visit the little big cup again. if you are determined to eat at an establishment that has no concern about chiggers jumping off the grass under the deck and biting customers, at least make sure they seat you inside.

this place is wonderful! if you are looking for down home southern food with a unique flare this is the place.  on sundays they have a full buffet or menu options.  my fiance and i go here regularly.  if you are lucky enough to be eating at little big cup on a pretty day, ask to sit outside...you won't regret it.  their cocktails and drinks are to die for.

i called before rounding up some friends to take the drive out to this place. they assured me the buffet is replenished until 2pm. when we arrived at noon, a woman met us at the door. without greeting us, she asked if we had reservations. confused, i explained that we called prior to getting there and we weren't instructed to make a reservation (as i took notice of the nearly empty restaurant). we were then sat at a table outside with a cute view. our server asked if we would enjoy any drinks, we ordered mimosas. then she asked if we might enjoy hot sauce, jams, or preserves. we requested hot sauce. she then instructed us to go inside and attend the buffet. while walking through the buffet line there was no crawfish pasta, no veggies or fixings for the salad, no gumbo, and no cinnamon rolls. our server assured us these items would be available shortly. after being more than half way through our meal and watching our server clean multiple tables, i went inside to retrieve the hot sauce, myself. when we were about done eating our food, she came out with our long awaited mimosas, one of which she spilled onto my friend's phone and chair. she went back in to grab towels and proceeded to address her other tables. after about ten minutes i went find her to ask if i was going to get my mimosa that was spilled. she replied yes, and ten more minutes later she arrived with it. upon my second round to the buffet, eager to sample the items we previously missed out on, i was severely disappointed to find not only were they not there, but they weren't going to be putting more out. this is the most terrible dining experience i've had in a long time and look forward to not returning. do yourself a favor and attend blue dog brunch in lafayette.

little big cup is a beautiful place located on the water with a great outdoor view. i love the concept and love the food even more! i had the brunch buffet on sunday and they had a great selection of well seasoned foods from eggs to gumbo to pork roast and stew and crawfish pasta and that strawberry butter for the biscuits. everything was so good. big selection and the brunch drink selection was crazy good. live french music inside too. i just love this place. can't wait to go back. a bit far from me at 1hr, but worth the trip to impress friends. definitely on my fav list. fyi park at the grocery store across the street. they own that corner. i would love to try a dinner with them sometime.

ok first off i am a sucker for buffets. so just saying the word buffet gets started with 3 stars. i am speaking specifically about the sunday buffet which i consider one of the best buffets in the area. ok ok parking is a little tough but i am there to eat.  there is everything you need to make sunday morning an eating festival. you can begin with biscuit with either flavored butter or decadent white gravy. next there is a salad section with the best caesar salad dressing since julius was alive. then there is bacon, sausage, and grits. just serve yourself plain grits because next is stew pork where you can pour the stew over your grits. don't forget the dirty rice with lots of andouille and tasso that would make your mother cry. if you haven't had a heart attack yet there is gumbo, boudin and crackling towards the end to do you in. the only drink i do for a buffet is mimosas. the buffet is reasonably price, but drinks are priced on the high side for a buffet. be prepared to rest for 3 hours to recover after. tell cricket (she is as sweet as the bread pudding) that the thenakedcritic said hi.

a few weeks ago, my husband and i had the pleasure to enjoy the delicious food and hospitality of the little big cup. as we approached the building, it had that neighborhood feel. the flowers outside added a nice curb appeal that was very inviting. we were greeted by a lovely hostess at the door. she was very friendly, warm and inviting. we were welcomed in and seated very quickly.

this was a great brunch. ribs spicy and excellent. pork stew had a dark gumbo roux and spicy. cream gravy and drop biscuits great. spinach and goat cheese frittata, creme brûlée pain perdu so good.even the baked beans really good. homemade dessert three berry cake and homemade bourbon pecan ice cream! service was excellent. one complaint is that the chairs are rickety and the tables wobble. was worried about either one breaking throughout the entire meal. they're just cheap and the owner should consider buying better furniture for their dining room. doesn't have to be expensive. just well made.

from the outside this place doesn't look much more than a mom and pop establishment. however, the inside was very elegant and tasteful. we decided to dine outside for breakfast, the weather was finally warm enough. we had the breakfast buffet for two($15 per person) along with three mimosas($7 each) throughout our meal. overall the food was very flavorful. let me tell you about the creme brûlée, outstanding! very happy with our experience. i am going to have to make this place a ritual every time i come into arnaudville.

delcious food and great atmosphere. went to little big cup for a sunday brunch. the food was delicious - all of it - and i tasted pretty much everything. the crème brule french toast was awesome. pork stew was best ever. i loved the atmosphere - cajun flare, cool music, really tasty mimosa. sitting outside on back patio was such a relaxing feeling. i will definitely be back.
