Coffee:30 Cafe is a beloved gem with fantastic customer service and polite servers. The menu offers a delicious selection of foods and coffee, making it a must-visit spot. The hospitality and knowledge of the menu are top-notch, ensuring a great experience for visitors. The Coffee:30 Beignets with strawberry drizzle, Cowboy Breakfast Bowl, and Alarm Clock Platter are highly recommended. While some find it pricey, the food and coffee are described as simply amazing.
We were staying at the Golden Nugget and wanted a better breakfast and coffee experience than chain coffee. Found Coffee 30 Cafe on Google and made the short drive. We were so pleased with the service, quality, and selection! The coffee was delicious and the classic eggs, Benedict and vegetable bowls or huge portions. Rene stopped by our table with her staff several times and was extremely pleasant and willing to do anything for us. If we ever come back to Lake Charles, this will definitely be our go to coffee and cafe!

Outstanding breakfast/lunch environment. I was passing through town and decided to try this place. The hostess and all of the servers were very attentive, the food was fantastic, and the music and atmosphere was very calm. Great place to go by yourself or with friends! I had the creamy crawfish omelette and some of their beignets, and I will definitely get them again. Victoria was my server today and she balanced being attentive without being overbearing extremely well. Thanks to Coffee:30 for a great visit!

Went on a Tuesday morning and took advantage of their tuesday beignet special. Also got avocado toast and a flat white. Everything was excellent and cooked to order. The only two things I wasn't thrilled with was 1) we came at a time when it wasn't very busy and there was plenty of seats available. They put us in a corner near the bar behind a wall. We asked to be moved. And 2) we had to wait a good 10 minutes to get our check after we were done eating. It was only after we got up to go to the cashier that they came to give us our check and take payment. We will be back!

I am thankful that someone recommended Southern Spice for a good home cooked meal! A true gem of Lake Charles. The waitress was fantastic. The food is awesome! I had Western Omelette with added Ham. Plus I had Two Biscuits with Country Gravy. The biscuits are so soft and fluffy!! My coworker had the Ribeye Steak and Eggs. He says that is the best steak and eggs that he has ever had!!!!! 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆

This is a classic Southern diner with delicious fried food, wings, seafood, salads, and friendly servers. We were passing through on a trip from South Georgia to Houston, Texas and in a bit of a rush. The waitress served a delicious meal very quickly and we were on our way.

Wow, was wanting a nice homemade lunch before heading home after a doctor appointment. A nurse recommended and it was all-around great! Fast and friendly service and very clean. Daily specials available along with the full menu. It was just right. Home style southern entrees and sides. We ordered gumbo and chicken wings to start. The chicken and sausage gumbo was great. The roux is very flavorful. My husband’s chicken wings were cooked perfect…light, crispy and tasted fresh. He said for having no sauce they were awesome. I ordered the plate of Meatloaf with red gravy. The plate came with rice or mashed potatoes plus two sides, roll or cornbread and a dessert! Can’t beat it. The sides I ordered were smothered cabbage and black eyed peas. It was all delicious. We looked around at what other people ordered and and saw yummy chicken tenders and fresh fried seafood. There are also plenty of good, healthy and grilled options but we chose different today. And, they offer breakfast. Plus, they make homemade cakes too. Today was coconut and lemon. Yum! We will definitely go back. Bravo to the cooks! This is a must try spot when visiting Lake Charles.

Everything looked SOOOOO good! The pancake was great even without syrup. The rest of the food was completely unseasoned. I was quite disappointed that they cooked it without seasoning. I ate as much as I could so I wasn’t hungry anymore. But they def need seasoning when cooking omelette and grits. Adding Salt and pepper wasn’t enough.

We had a great experience here. The chicken and sausage gumbo was so good (we are so picky when it comes to gumbo, we don't like all those onions in there. There wasn't many and it was delicious!) We also ordered a hamburger and shrimp poboy. We had to take it to go because we were full from the gumbo. Our waitress Kari was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and very sweet. I definitely want to come back for breakfast!

Awesome service! Awesome food! I've eaten at Southern Spice many times when in Lake Charles over the years. I've never been disappointed in the service. The food is always tasty and comforting.

The Bekery is a delightful bakery owned by Rebekah Hoffpauir, offering a wide array of freshly baked goods such as breads, quiche, baguettes, croissants, and French pastries. They also serve gourmet coffee drinks and other delectable treats. The menu changes frequently so it's best to check their social media for updates on their offerings. During Mardi Gras season, they are known for their King Cakes.
This bakery has some of the best croissants I’ve ever had! The service was great. All of the staff were so nice and helpful. The atmosphere was also very aesthetically pleasing. I tried the ham and cheese croissant and the chocolate almond croissant. Everything was delicious.

One of the best places I've ever been to for brunch.The staff is friendly and fantastic. The atmosphere is great. The food is so delicious. Its worth the wait and every penny you spend there or to-go. I had to get some sweets to-go. They did not disappoint. Get a menu when you walk in and be ready to order when its your turning line. It makes the process run smoothly and fast. We just love this place. Its our new breakfast lunch or brunch restaurant.

Came here today for the first time just visiting the city and it was absolutely wonderful. I had the bacon quiche and it was amazing as well as the ham and cheese croissant. My coffee was also delicious! Unfortunately my phone DID NOT eat first when it came to that quiche and croissant but I have the proof that it was delicious… (my empty plate) My family also enjoyed their plates as well! They got avocado toast, the wake up call and the last dish I don’t remember the name of. The staff was also extremely kind and helpful. They were extremely busy so the food took a wee bit longer than expected but their employee was so kind enough to reassure us that it would be coming. She kept the customers all around us happy. She also combined tables to give my family a comfortable place to sit since there’s 5 of us and had someone over right away to wipe the table down.

What a beautiful restaurant in Lake Charles. Very large seating area and lots of options to pick from. They also have rotating and seasonal specials. The quality of the food was amazing. However, the service was lackluster, my Salmon toast came around 30 minutes after ordering. There wasn’t clear communication if utensils were supposed to be delivered to the table. Other than that, I would definitely come back for the food!

This place is such a gem! It has that warm Southern charm that makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The pastry case is full of fresh, beautiful options, from flaky croissants to indulgent treats that are hard to resist. Their drink menu is creative, too—I love that they offer not only great lattes but also unique matcha drinks. Brunch is also a highlight, with delicious dishes that are just as pretty as they are tasty. Whether you’re stopping in for a pastry and latte or sitting down for a full brunch, this place never disappoints.

A Hidden Gem in Lake Charles – A Must-Visit Bakery Experience If you're in Lake Charles and have a love for freshly baked treats, local culture, and thoughtful design, this bakery is an absolute standout. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted not only by the warm aroma of baked goods but also by an atmosphere that speaks to the heart of Southern hospitality and artistic flair. The food? Outstanding. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, with an evident commitment to quality ingredients and authentic recipes. Whether you're grabbing a flaky croissant or indulging in a decadent slice of cake, each bite feels lovingly crafted. The menu offers a satisfying mix of comfort classics and creative options that highlight local flavors. What truly elevates the experience is the attention to detail in the decor. The interior is a beautiful blend of modern charm and local culture—bright, welcoming, and undeniably Instagram-worthy. From curated wall art to cozy, well-lit corners, the aesthetic invites you to sit down, slow down, and savor your visit. The bakery also maintains an impressive standard of cleanliness, which adds to the comfort of the experience. It's clear the owners and staff take pride not just in what they serve, but in how they serve it. Outdoor seating is available, offering a relaxing option on a nice day, and convenient on-street parking makes it accessible even for a quick stop. If there's anything to critique, it's that the popularity of the place can lead to limited seating during peak hours—but that’s just more proof of how beloved this spot is. Arriving early or visiting during quieter times is worth it for the full experience. In short, this bakery is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s a thoughtfully curated experience that deserves attention. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it’s well worth a visit!

Pujo's offers a very inviting atmosphere with an amazing ambience. Our visit was for a Saturday brunch and found it to be a very family oriented eating establishment. It provides a numerous amount of seating arrangements including an outdoor weather protected area with a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. The indoor area has ample seating even for large groups. They even provide a private special event room. There was very little wait time. With a centrally located bar. Our waitress's name was Sydney. She was so charming, witty and engaging, while meeting our every need. I would highly recommend her as she would certainly be an excellent waitress request. The food is outstanding! I had the 3 egg omelet with onions,green bell peppers,mushrooms,tomatoes and cheese. My husband had the Pujo Banana French Toast and my Son had the Contraband Benedict with Amaratto raspberry cheesecake. Perfect coffee and Orange juice. You will not go away hungry.

Wanted this to be a staple restaurant for when we come out of town but… As I so wanted to give this place another shot with the rest of my family because of the feedback from my other post. Unfortunately missed the mark again but worse, my family’s food looked delicious, I decided on their “signature” burger and told the waitress very specifically I wanted very very well done because I can’t tolerate any red meat. I had to sit and dig out the pink and didn’t end up finishing it due to feeling sick to my stomach. My family wanted refills on coffee, water and sauces but it took so long they ended up finishing their food, before we were able to even ask again for it. I ended up having to get up and let the gentleman know we do not need those items because we were ready to check out and even getting our check took forever. I have no idea what happened to our waitress but we didn’t end up seeing her till the end of our check, no refills or asking if we needed anything after the coffee and sauces after that she was pretty much gone for 30min+. I’m sorry the atmosphere was great but the people in charge of the tables need some help. 8/2/25 @ 11:00am

I have yet to have a bad meal there. The burgers are juicy and flavorful and crab cakes are the best that I’ve personally ever had. You definitely have to try the Maryland Benedict - it’s eggs Benedict but with crab cakes instead of English muffins. 20/10!

STELLAR BEANS coffee house & edibles - Lake Charles, LA Vibes: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - very much a local, artsy hangout. There are welcoming regulars of all shapes & sizes. Plenty of art displayed & for sale including paintings, cups, etc. Large menu with Star Wars themed drinks, as well as really delicious sandwiches. Open on Sundays which is not a norm for a locally owned shop. I always visit on my way to brunch. There was also local jazz music being played today. Drinks: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - strong coffee flavor & the syrups don’t taste artificial at all. Lots of options. I love the snickerdoodle with cold foam 🥰 Accessibility: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - parking is a wheelchair users nightmare 😵‍💫 all of downtown lake Charles needs a little cement refresh. A few spots directly up front, parallel parking. There is also a one way alley close by with zero handicapped spots. There is also an extremely deep crevice in the alley that NEEDS to be fixed (not stellar beans fault). The front doors are double but one stays locked so it’s a tight squeeze. Once inside, it’s very roomy with low top tables & couches. Where the coffee is served is (estimated) 5ft from the ground so that is not accessible for a wheelchair user. Restroom is single with correctly placed grab bars.

Visited from Texas for a mini get away and fell in love with this spot! I got a Java the Hut latte and it took me by surprise. The cutie with the half white half black hair, mentioned that the owner’s favorite flavor was the one I ordered and I can see why! It was sooooo delicious I had to go back the next day for another one. I ordered one of the egg stacks which was awesome that they have keto/paleo options. It’s hard to come across places that offer a breakfast item that’s friendly to my dietary restrictions. I couldn’t help myself and also tried the BLT with brie and grapes, the next day and wow! I was happy to had use my cheat meal for that sandwich. They even spelled my name correctly which is uncommon. Very sweet owners and pleasant staff! Loved the trinket basket; leave one take one! Never seen that anywhere else either. Can’t forget to mention that it’s been over a month since I visited this place and the beautiful little spotted plant I bought has now grown 3 new leaves. It’s a spotted Begonia and pothos in one!

Spent the night in Lake Charles and was looking for a good coffee spot next morning. Mission accomplished. I absolutely loved this place, combining my favorite genre of space themed movies and TV shows (Trekkie and Star Wars fan), and good coffee, food and atmosphere. My cold brew was outstanding, smooth with notes of chocolate. I had Bacon, Eggs, Sausage and cheese minus the bread. It was awesome and filling. My GF had the Interstellar Cristo and she raved about how good it was. The staff were two young ladies and they were friendly and amazing. There was an awesome atmosphere with plenty of space to sit and enjoy your beverage and food orders. Come out and support local businesses and avoid chains. I highly recommend this place!

Was really looking forward to supporting this small business while in town. They start closing down well before their posted hours to include all seating options. 10 minutes prior to closing they only had 2 coffee options available, nothing else. For a 16oz iced coffee at $7 you’d think it would be at least a decent coffee. The suggested tip amount was $5. Would not recommend or come back anytime soon.

KD's Diner is a modest eatery that offers traditional American dishes and breakfast options in a charming, vintage setting. Despite its unassuming exterior, this popular spot in Lake Charles gathers locals who appreciate its homely ambiance. The biscuits and sausage gravy, accompanied by a cup of strong black coffee, are exceptional and leave diners satisfied. The generous portion of sausage may prove challenging to finish for some patrons.
This place is a must go to when you're in Lake Charles. Forget those casino places, come here instead. The breakfast is fresh and homemade tasting. The prices are right. They even have three slot machine machines you can gamble on if you're bored. The place is open 24 hours a day too. The only thing is the place is small so it's usually busy in the breakfast hours and you may be waiting for a short time before a table is available.

KD’s Diner had excellent service and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. It is a small place, but it feels welcoming. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were larger than I expected. The only thing I was not happy with was the bathroom. It did not seem very clean and could have been better maintained.

I had the hamburger steak with gravy and onions. I don’t blame the cook. It might be something they washed the dishes with because everything had a strange aftertaste to it. Even my drink.

This is my go to Diner. Their food is always spot on with flavor and presentation. I try different meals when we go, for the last 20 years and will continue for as long as it is open. I recommend everything on the menu. Breakfast, omg, old fashioned southern 🍳 way. Lunch or Dinner, you will never be disappointed as the menu has an item waiting just for your taste buds. Service has always been great and friendly. Since it is a small diner, the weekend rushes can leave you waiting for a table or booth so be prepared. Worth the wait if you have the time. DATDEB highly recommends this establishment!

We waited an hour to get our food, the omelets were ok but I will say salt and pepper go along way. I got the nachos and needless to say I sent it back. While sitting there we saw a HUGE roach.

I have never seen such a dedicated and caring staff in fast food restaurants. We came here for a quick brunch before hitting the road. For the first time, my fast food sandwiches looked like on the posters. They also tasted better than from other Panera bread locations that we tried!

The bacon Mac & cheese was hot and cheesy. The Caesar salad was delicious and the dressing was flavorful. And the cookie and lavender lemonade were the perfect accompaniment

First off, the orange scones are absolutely amazing! They are more soft than I would have imagined. The flavor tastes authentic and bold. I had their avocado and egg sandwich. The bread it came on was like an oat style bread. It was great. The location is easy to access. The restaurant is clean and the employees are friendly! Update: I purchased the summer cup fruit. It was absolutely terrible! The fruit tasted bitter and then I was able to smell a foul odor. Maybe this was just a bad cup but it’s upsetting. I also requested for the girl at the front to add my rewards and she failed to do so. So I took a star off.

This was my first time eating at a Panera Bread in my life, and I am sooo disappointed. I ordered chicken noodle soup and the noodles were brown and there was an odd smell as well. The girl at the drive thru was really sweet though. Unfortunately, I won't be back.

My fiance came to visit and was starting to feel sick and hadn't eaten anything all morning. He said he wanted something light. Like soup or something to see if that would help settle his stomach. So what better place to get a delicious soup but Panera Bread located on Nelson Road lake Charles La near Lauberge Hotel and Casino and Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino. I ordered a Chicken Noodle Soup bowl for him and for me myself I ordered the Turkey Panini and a cup of Vegetable Soup and a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Everything was absolutely delicious. I had visited Panera Bread a few times before purchasing pastries, and cookies for the holidays. I've always had a Great experience, and the staff is always very nice and accommodating. My only complaint sometimes is the drive thru service. It's always really slow at theo window, but in all fairness the wait is definitely worth it.

It's been a while since I've been here. After Hurricane Laura, it took a really long while for it to be rebuilt, and as it was finished, everything seemed... different. The breakfast burrito I ordered was very tasty and the waiter was nice to me, my siblings, my grandpa and his wife. We didn't even have to wait at all for a table, either. This is by far the best experience I've been with into going to a nostalgic place. Definitely might plan to come here if we visit Lake Charles again.

A good breakfast restaurant, but not an amazing breakfast restaurant. Waitress was a bright spot in the experience. I had the Philly Cheesesteak 3-egg omelette with hashbrowns and two pancakes. I topped it off with the grilled biscuits and gravy and a hot chocolate with whipped cream. Food was good. Restaurant was very clean.

This little gem is soooo good! Homemade feel to the food and also is like a little diner! The hashbrowns were sooo buttery and not too crispy, the eggs were seasoned just right! All of our food was big portions, perfect temp and cooked made to order! When visiting Lake Charles in the future we will definitely go back all the time!! Our waitress was delightful and very attentive as well!

After traveling through southwest MS to Lake Charles. I had a taste for a big juicy hamburger. So, based on the reviews, we decided to visit this establishment. My burger was very under seasoned, but the fries and onion rings were really good. My drink of choice is always an Arnold Palmer, but it was not good at all. Our waitress Brienna was very helpful when it came to what to order. Suggestions: Please season your food and change the brand of Tea and Lemonade. Overall, it was a great experience.

McDonald's is a timeless fast-food institution celebrated for its iconic burgers and crispy fries. During a late-night visit, I opted to place my order through the app and picked it up via the drive-through, as parking can be tricky after hours. Although I had to wait briefly for my order, the service was impressively quick. What stood out most were the friendly employees at both windows and during the hand-off; their courteous demeanor made my experience even more enjoyable.
We ordered via app, picked up drive-through since it was very late (I know usually around 9 or 10 pm parking is not an option anymore). We did pull up to wait for our order:/ lol, but no problem, it was fast-service and everything we ordered was there. Most impressively were the 3 employees (at both windows and the 'hand-off' guy) were very pleasant & curteous😁

It's one of the better McDonald's in town. Nice building. On campus. The service is always lousy here and the atmosphere is very crowded usually. As a delivery driver it requires a lot of waiting for orders I'm not making enough for. So the slowness doesn't help. I've gotten into it with management at this McDonald's before. He was very rude to me. But I am glad I don't see him around anymore. Not the best in town but still stop here often. I always recommend Nelson..

Chandler — Google review
My recent visit to McDonald's for breakfast left me deeply concerned and ultimately led to us leaving the establishment without ordering. Upon entering, we noticed an employee descending a ladder with a can of paint, which initially seemed innocuous. However, as we walked further into the lobby, I happened to look up and was shocked to see extensive black mold covering approximately 85% of the ceiling tiles. This discovery was particularly alarming given that my wife had just been discharged from the hospital for an upper respiratory infection. The presence of such significant mold in a food service environment poses a serious health risk, especially for individuals with respiratory vulnerabilities. Given these unsanitary conditions, we immediately decided to leave. We could not, in good conscience, consume food from an establishment with such a blatant disregard for cleanliness and public health. I have since attempted to reach out to McDonald's corporate to report this issue, but unfortunately, I have not received any response. This lack of acknowledgment further compounds our disappointment. A food establishment, especially one as widely recognized as McDonald's, should adhere to the highest standards of hygiene. The conditions we witnessed were unacceptable and raise serious questions about the safety and cleanliness of this particular location. We hope this issue is addressed promptly and thoroughly to prevent potential health hazards for other customers.

The owner does not care about quality of service. I had to remind the employees that Mcdonald's serves hamburgers, then I asked for extra onions, extra ketchup and the Harvard graduates that work there Put no ketchup and no onions. Then I asked for a hot and spicy mcchicken extra mayo add ketchup, and they put no mayo and no catchup and no lettuce.

Chick-fil-A is a popular fast-food chain known for its delicious chicken sandwiches, nuggets, salads, and sides. Customers appreciate the unique feature of their ice that chills beverages without diluting them. While some have experienced longer wait times during peak hours at the drive-thru, many praise the friendly and efficient service provided by the staff. The company's commitment to higher pay for workers and having Sundays off has garnered positive feedback from patrons.
It was almost 2PM and the car line was packed (but moved VERY QUICKLY) We ate inside and the dining room was very busy. The attendant was very helpful getting us a clean table. They brought our food quickly. It was fresh, hot and delicious.

This Chick Fila just wasn't on par with the others I have visited. The lady at the counter didn't even say anything when you say "thank you" and acted like she didn't really want to be there. The food was good but that's about all. I'll be back when I'm in LC because this is one of my daughter's favorite places to eat. For the price you would expect friendliness but that's not what we were met with Friday when we visited.

Crowded and popular even during early lunch hours (11:30 am). Very decent fast food - I like how their chicken sandwich actually tastes like chicken and also isn’t slathered in unnecessary gross sauces. Waffle fries are also good if not the best. Most outstanding is their friendly service and the cool trash can that automatically opens. Bathroom is small (2 stalls) but clean. A little ways off I10, but a worthwhile stop.

This is honestly the first Chick Fil-A to which I couldn't give five stars. The drive-thru ordering lines were chaotic. The team members taking orders were both bouncing between the two lines. We drove right up to the ordering menu and sat there unnoticed for several minutes until we just pulled forward and looped around into a line that had someone taking orders. We had ordered through the app, so it was extra frustrating that we had to sit even longer. I've never experienced anything like that at a franchise location. Food was great, order was correct, and everything was hot and as expected. Just a really odd arrival.

I walked in and there a two top table and seated next to me was a woman and a toddler. This was March 20 around 4 pm. The woman working was apparently the cook. She spent most of her time ogling the baby. She burned my sausage and my waffle was so over done the syrup didnt soak in. I had to ask for a fork and a refill. She spent more time with the baby and less time at her job. I will say if waffle house is a day care they do good work. Very poorly managed. Whoever runs this store has done an awful job with the staff.

Sarah was HORRIBLE! Immediately told us that we were her last customers for the night and she treated us as such! Every item we asked for was OVERCOOKED or UNDERCOOKED! Our waffles were beyond hard and bacon 🥓, extra soft, was like a black (burnt) leather belt! To top it off, refused to remove items NOR discount them! Yelled at us to " Just pay your dang ticket and leave!" We paid in full, even though we didn't eat 80% of it, went to the other location and they knew Sarah ALL TOO WELL! Gave us everything perfect and FREE! Now that was beyond nice of them! (And second location was ACTUALLY CLEEEEAN)

We went there around 3 am. All the tables including the high top were dirty. We had to clean the high top ourselves. The manager stated that the dishwasher wasnt working and we can take it to go if we wanted. We opted to stay and just eat from to go trays. It took FOREVER for us to get our order. They had one cook with several orders and I was sooooo glad when the manager FINALLY decided to jump in amd help instead of standing around waiting! And service was horrible! The manager had an excuse for every concern that any customer brought to his attention! We will NEVER go back there again. Pictures are posted as well.

Our food was excellent 👌🏽 😋! Hot off the grill made to order. Pancakes are thick, light and fluffy...very yummy. We all ordered the chicken omelet with mushrooms, onions, spinach, and cheese... big, filling, and tasty. Chicken had a good taste and was juicy. The toast was very buttery, just like we like it! It's definitely a whole in the wall type of dinner, but it was well worth the visit.

I had the Jam Good burger and my partner had the classic cheeseburger — we shared a large fry and got our food to go (there simply was not space for us inside at lunch peak). Burger patties are the right size and were perfectly cooked. Watching the grill in a place like this — which I’d liken to Montgomery, Alabama’s Hamburger King — is always fun! The fries were tasty and seemed like they had some sort of batter on them. I was pleased with the food for the price and look forward to trying some other dishes in the future.

I spent $95 on an order that was completely ruined. The restaurant jammed five hamburgers in the bottom of one bag, then piled two large onion rings, two fries, and an order of tots on top. By the time it arrived, all of the burgers were smashed, soggy, and inedible. When I called to report the issue, I was hung up on twice. The third time, they told me to “call DoorDash” and hung up again. Absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant that charges this much. If you value your money and your food arriving in one piece, avoid this place. Terrible food handling and even worse customer service.

We are from San Antonio, Texas driving through for an event. I am always looking for the best burger in town and Maplewood did not disappoint. My family and I tried 3 different burgers today…amazing, juicy, flavorful, and unique burgers…I would drive out of my way to come here again. The sweet potatoes fries were on point, truly…the best I’ve had! My husband said the onion rings were the best he’d ever had! Thank you, Madison, for an amazing experience! Y'all are the best!!

This was the Best burger we have ever had. We had a philly cheese steak stuffed burger, Swiss and mushroom stuffed burger, and a beacon stuffed burger. All was cooked to perfection, super juicy. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

This is a very special place. The breakfast was full of flavor. The owner took my order. He was genuinely concerned about my well-being. He cares deeply about his customers. He also cares about the food delivery guys that come in. This establishment reflects my Father's Love. If you want to sew into a kingdom business, then this is the place!

We were looking for a good burger…found it!!! Proportionally sized and fully dressed Bacon Cheeseburger (the add-ons list goes on!😋); deliciously have-crafted. The onion rings were spot on, not overly bettered but perfect taste and consistency. The service was above and beyond-we were treated like family and felt at . Thanks Madison!!! Maplewood Burgers are now my family’s new stop.

I've been on the hunt for a new favorite burger for a long time... After trying the stuffed brisket burger, I found a close contender... One thing would likely help move it up, a jalapeno bun... Everything else was amazing. The burger was great, the fried pickles and sweet potato fries might be the best I've had. The regular fries were amazing too. They even have the "good" ice... IYKYK.

McDonald's, the iconic fast-food chain that has stood the test of time, is a go-to spot for delicious burgers and crispy fries. Recently, I swung by to grab dinner for my daughter and me. Despite the drive-thru lines wrapping around the building, our order was ready in under 10 minutes without any hassle of pulling over to wait. The excitement built as I could feel the warmth radiating from the bag—those fries were piping hot!
Pretty good experience at this McDonald's. I ordered a custom QP via the app. Normally I can expect them to get something wrong when I do. Not this time. Burger was hot, fresh and made exactly as requested. Fries were hot and fresh also. One of the better food experiences I had at a McDonald's. Did have to let the manager know they had a plumbing leak in the restroom though. Will visit again.

I've never had issues here before, but this day seemed to be off. It was lunch and there were lined but I used the kiosk but had to pay at the counter. The clerk help the person in front on Mr then walked off. All the tables were dirty and we asked for a towel and someone did go the clean but started at an empty table so we moved to that one. The food was good but I guess this location cuts the cheese in half and charge fir the other half. 1st time seeing this. But overall was ok. I would takeout not fine in next time.

Came on July 19th at around 6pm ordered the 20 pc nuggets w the basket of fries. Girl in the first window acts as if she doesn’t like her job. Her energy on the microphone was horrible. You don’t respond to a customer with the phrase “that’s it?” That is plain rude. The young girl in the second window who handed me my food had “EXCELLENT” customer service along with a beautiful smile. With a positive attitude like that, she should be given a manager shirt. It’s sad how y’all want just anybody working y’all’s restaurant with nasty attitudes and it makes them look ugly. My last time coming here. Fries were hot but the nuggets were stale.

Just picked up dinner for my daughter and myself. The drive-thru lines were around the building. It took less than 10 minutes from placing the order reviving it. They weren’t making anyone pull up or over to the 1-4 spots, so commonly used. They did their thing. I could feel how hot the fries were through the bag. I did check everything before leaving. I guess I still have PTSD, from all the times fast food hasn’t been correct, but they had everything. I’m always quick to complain, but also as quick to acknowledge greatness. Food was a 10/10. Service was all smiles 10/10. Time and correctness perfect 10/10. GREAT JOB!

Waffle House is a beloved American diner chain that serves up all-day breakfast and classic diner fare, with their signature waffles being a standout. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to the friendly staff who create an enjoyable dining experience. For instance, servers like Joanna bring energy and personal touch to every table, making guests feel valued. The bustling environment adds to the charm as waitstaff efficiently communicate orders to cooks while maintaining a lighthearted camaraderie among themselves.
This Waffle House offers a classic diner experience with exceptional service, as exemplified by Marcy, who ensured our visit was pleasant. I ate here with my 3 grandkids and they enjoyed themselves. The jukebox boasted a wide selection of tunes, adding to the ambiance. Our meals were served hot and freshly prepared to order. A satisfying experience that guarantees a return visit.

There are so many things I love about eating at the Waffle House. The food always comes out hot and fast. Service is friendly and on point. But most of all … the people seem to like working there, they get along well (it’s fun to listen to them cut with each other) and I’m always amazed how the waitstaff just yells out orders to the cooks and then come out perfect !!

The Waffle House located in south Lake Charles, Louisiana is an above average Waffle House. The food was good. The service was fast and friendly. It wasn’t very clean. My menu was very sticky with some sort of syrup (I think). Our waitress gladly replaced it with another sticky menu. Our silver ware wasn’t the cleanest. Our table top wasn’t clean. The parking lot is too small and not enough parking for how busy this particular Waffle House is. The music was extremely too LOUD for any restaurant. It was extremely annoying. We won’t return to this particular location. We don’t recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Diamond at Waffle House – Joanna is Simply the Best! If you’re lucky enough to get Joanna as your server at Waffle House, buckle up—you’re in for a five-star experience at a classic diner. From the moment we walked in, Joanna greeted us with the kind of warmth and energy that instantly made us feel at home. She has that rare gift of making every customer feel like they matter. Joanna moves with purpose and grace, juggling a packed house while still taking the time to check in on every table with a smile. She remembered our names, got our order exactly right, and somehow kept our coffee filled and hot the entire time. Her recommendations were spot-on (those hashbrowns—perfection!), and you can tell she genuinely cares about her job and the people she serves. But what really sets Joanna apart is her spirit. She radiates positivity even on the busiest shifts and somehow makes a Waffle House booth feel like the coziest spot in town. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does, and that pride shows in every detail—from the spotless table to the cheerful conversation. Waffle House is lucky to have someone like Joanna on their team. If there were an award for Best Server in America, she’d win it hands down. Thank you, Joanna, for turning a simple breakfast into something memorable!

This is probably the best Burger King in town. It has plenty of parking. And they have always been nice to me here. Rather a customer or delivery driver. Always friendly. And food is usually served in a very well timed manner. Quick bite for sure. Still has a playground which is quite rare for any fast food restaurants. Food seems fresh and ready every time. Atmosphere is a tad out dated. But it is what it is. Still very nostalgic. I eat here all the time and one of my preferred Doordash and UberEats pick up spots!

First of all the cashier taking my order at the drive thru was rude. She never let me finish with my order because I was adding and making changes to my chicken sandwich. She was quick to rush me with my order. She handed me my bag took my payment and closed the window . I waited at the window for awhile no one came back to the window . When I was able to get someone , I asked for a copy of my receipt she told me they didn’t have any receipt paper to give me a copy of my receipt . Where they do that at ? All the money Burger King makes and they don’t have receipt paper? Almost 15 dollars for my meal. I was charged me for cheese and bacon and no cheese on my sandwich.! Lettuce don’t look good either. If you want Burger King find another location!

They need help ... they ran out of buns ... how is that ... shakes & soft serve, always out ... always short handed, extremely long 'await' times( bc they short handed [corporate issues, work 2x harder, paid the same]) ... would give ☆☆, but like their burgers & the restaurant.

They messed up my order the first time which resulted in me having to return back to the location to have my food corrected or so i thought. First go round, my bread was hard as a brick. then, I got home the second time to discover that my bread is burnt. Apparently y’all don’t care about y’all’s food quality but I damn sure do especially with the fact that we spent our hard earned money to eat here to keep y’all’s business going. Employees have nasty attitudes every time we go. Highly unprofessional. WILL NOT RETURN!

To top it all off homeless people swarm that place all day everyday.worst mcdonalds I've been to in lakecharles for sure!usually I ignore all this beings the foods usually not bad but today it was pouring rain in my window while I watched 2 people drive threw and take their order when at first I was only person in drive threw and you have to leave window rolled down to wait to hear them ask if yourvready to order.need all new managers and employees.

Far too many homeless people coming to your table and asking if you are going to eat everything on your tray. My wife, mom, and sister were stopped at the entrance of the main door by several homeless people (one upset due to someone saying that they didn't have enough money to buy anything extra). DEFINITELY, the last time we ever stop here.

DRIVE AWAY! Ordered two burgers. It took 25 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we got our food. Then, neither of the burgers were warm or even assembled in their boxes. If McDonalds served burger salds, I imagine this is what that would look like. The lady working the front counter was nice and apologetic for the wait. The rest of the staff were yelling at each other and loudly talking about personal drama. The restaurant itself was dirty with no clean tables, and the bathrooms were dirty as well. If Google would let me, this facility would get zero stars.

Burger King is a renowned fast-food chain that specializes in serving up mouthwatering grilled burgers, crispy fries, and delightful shakes. Diners often rave about the consistently delicious quality of their burgers, which are always prepared just right. At one particular location, patrons enjoyed swift and friendly service from staff eager to assist with orders. The drive-thru experience was notably efficient, featuring a dedicated lane for convenience.
What can you say about BK's grilled burgers that has not already been said? Always delicious, prepared correctly and in THIS location's favor, service was fast, friendly and the employee was ready to help me with my order (thank you again!) had I been able to save a couple $$ (I wasn't). Burger was prepared correctly and jalapeno bites were hot. Went through the drive thru so unsure about the inside of the restaurant but outside was clean (NO trash on lot or overfilled trashcans, etc.) and grass was mowed. Only thing of note were the holes in the menu that I HOPE were caused by a lawnmower hitting rocks.

The crew that is currently at this location is wonderful. My mobile order was ready when I got there (which is unheard of these days). My child had accidentally ordered the wrong toppings on the burger, so I went in to try to order a new one. They insisted on replacing it for no charge, even though it was our fault.

Drove through for a Whopper Jr, asked for no ketchup. I got a dry cold whopper with tiny bits of lettuce, 2 slices of dried tomato, a slice of onion and one pickle slice. The bun and meat were both cold and stale. There was No One else in the drive through or the parking lot so there was no reason for giving me stale old food. Ridiculous!! I will never go back there again. Oh and I got one napkin and no receipt

Well, I tried them again and will never order from here again. They don't care about doordash orders and throw it in the bag and send it. $11 for 2 double cheeseburgers, didn't make them like I paid extra for, and look how small they are ?!? Plus, there is no marinara for my mozzarella fries. What's funny is the receipt is taped to the bag, check it. Bogo chicken sandwich is worse than processed nuggets... horrible, that's why they are giving one away... thin and tasteless.

I’ve always had Whataburger back in Houston for many years. Moving to Louisiana I was skeptical if it’d taste the same due to Sulphur,La location disappointment. This Country Club location gets 5 out of 5 stars. From us driving into parking lot, parking, standing in line, ordering, waiting & then getting serviced we had an absolutely awesome experience. Everyone was friendly, helpful and the food tasted just like it always had back in Houston & just as it does coming home from a TX concert!

Three of us stopped in for a Texas favorite. This was far from the Texas Whataburger standard. All our food was precooked and just above room temperature. What a disappointment! Then, the restrooms were absolutely disgusting. The drink station was filthy, sticky, and disorganized. The floors in front of the drink station were horrible. Overall, we were not impressed in the least. We recommend you go elsewhere, particularly after spending the better part of $50.

The food was good and hot, once we got it. They were not busy and it was off peak hours. It took way too long in my opinion and then we were missing an item. We were in drive-thru so I had to go inside and have them give me the missing item. I got extra fries as an apology so this was good I guess.

I've been shopping here daily for coffee almost since the place opened. The coffee is always fresh, never scorched or burnt. At times I've tried several different donuts and/or pastries they have to offer. That has come to a complete stop after witnessing one of the managers rearranging the assortment by hand, free of gloves or protection. No one should be handling a person's food after counting or handling money and change from the register like that. I've seen many come through here for those pastries and even bring their kids.

It's not a real Dunkin Donuts. They just carry their coffee and donuts. The donuts are in a stay fresh box. So do not expect to walk into a legit Dunkin Donuts facility. If I am not mistaking, the coffee isn't really DD brand, they just have the syrup containers (chocolate, caramel, vanilla flavorings) next to the coffee machine that are the DD brand...Was not what I was expecting it to be at all.

How can this even legit be called a "Dunkin Donuts" when it is just a kiosk at a gas station. The sign and advertising kind of lead you to believe its simply a Dunkin Donuts built on to a gas station, but make no mistake, its basically just Dunkin Donut branded heat lamp donuts.

The best experience ever at a coffee shop!! So friendly and helpful. I was greeted before I got to the front of the line by the window server. He asked for my name and told me the first drink was ready but they were still working on my second drink. When my drink was ready, he called out my name. Before handing me my drinks, he noticed that I was handicapped. He asked if I'd like a drink holder. I didn't have to ask for it! He was so joyful while doing his job. Another worker that was putting the last touches on the drinks addressed me in a positive way also. She was very nice. I've never been treated so nicely at a coffee shop. I will be back.

I am so so happy to have a dutch bros down here!! If you like espresso, get the Double Torture and if you like sour, get the Rebel Iced Aftershock and a sour shot. I do miss cookie butter already. Staff is always nice and they are quick to get your order out.
