Dons Seafood - Lafayette

I don't visit Louisiana very often, but when I do I like to order what I cannot find where I live. This visit included 2 nights in Lafayette. I didn't arrive from San Antonio until 8pm. fortunately, Don's Seafood is open until 11pm on Saturday and their dress code, from what I observed, is "jeans casual". The parking lot was large, and quite full. I told the hostess I could eat at the bar, but she said a table is available. My server was Moe. She was very attentive to my need. I ordered the Crawfish Dinner, which came with Crawfish gumbo, crawfish au gratin, crawfish etoufee', crawfish scampi, another crawfish item, fried crawfish, stuffed baked potato and hush puppies. I also ordered homemade bread pudding for dessert. Everything was wonderful, except their tartar sauce. I couldn't wait t

Stopped here as I heard they had yummy hush puppies. The hush puppies were ok a bit dry. But what was delicious were the fried crab claws and the fried alligator. The alligator was especially delicious. And which ever person on the Google reviews recommended the honey mustard to dip them in was spot on. Good choice. Would definitely get those two dishes again. Nice friendly service.

Had such a great experience at Don's Seafood and we cannot recommend it enough. First of all, our server Christian was truly the best. Attentive without hovering, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and just made the whole meal feel fun and relaxed. Service like that makes a big difference, and he absolutely delivered. He should get a raise for sure ha! We started with the jacked up oysters and the boudin balls, and both were packed with flavor. The oysters had the perfect kick, and the boudin balls were crispy on the outside, rich and savory inside. For mains, we had the fried catfish with rice and beans, and it was comfort food at its finest. Crispy, well seasoned fish and sides that were just as satisfying as the main. Everything we ordered was so good, and paired with top notch

Very beautiful when you walk in. They have warm welcomes. Kid friendly and handicap ♿️ available. You can order to go as well. The food was very delicious. They have very good verity of seafood, burgers 🍔 and salads. The staff are very friendly and helpful of the menu.

Don's always has great food and great service but our waiter Jack took it to another level. He was excellent and went way past what's expected of wait-staff. He was fun, attentive, and knows what you want before you know. It's been 25 years since I've been back to the area, and of course I had to stop here. One of those memorable places I've never forgotten, and it lived up to all my hype with my family.
