Dakota Starr Stopped for lunch while in town and was really surprised by this place. Service was great. Never had to ask for a refill on our drinks. All of our food was hot and delicious. Got the fried green tomato and crab cake appetizer, shrimp and grits, oyster Orleans, and a dessert. The manager Amber was also fantastic. She would often pass and ask how everything was and if she could get anything for us while our waitress was busy. Very attentive and caring. Everything was great! We will definitely be back!

Amanda Montet Absolutely amazing experience at Shane’s Famous Quesadilla Burger! We ordered the BBQ wings, loaded fries, and the Shane-O-Mac burger, and everything was delicious. The flavors were spot on and the portions were generous. The service truly made the visit even better. Sky, you are AWESOME — hands down one of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. So welcoming and attentive! We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind and personable. You can really tell this place cares about both the food and the people. Can’t wait to come back and try more. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth Khoury I am big on oysters, and I can say this was top 3 I’ve had. They tasted so fresh, the condiments were good, they were all a good size, the presentation was simple but pretty. Very impressed. On top of that, their drinks were outstanding and we were pleasantly surprised by the pasta dish we ordered! A beautiful restaurant with a great location, and great food, drinks, and staff.

kat I can’t recommend this place enough! Service was impeccable, food was fantastic, atmosphere was quiet and cozy. There are fresh flowers on each table, the decor was adorable with a painted mural on the far wall, and lots of Tuscan touches throughout. Whats funny is my husband is from Lafayette and has never heard of this place. And had I not looked on Trip Advisor for restaurant recommendations, I never would have found them. It’s located in the back left corner of a business center, so it’s definitely a hidden gem. I can’t wait til my next business trip here!
