Things To Do
Rickey Meche's Donut King
Josh went 10 years before trying the all famous Meche's donuts! A 54 year donut making tradition. Now that he's had them he loves them! To add to the list, Annie's cousin Evie also loves these donuts. When Evie's family was living in Texas, Annie brought a full dozen across state lines for Evie's birthday. They built a tower of donuts to act as a cake. Everyone loves Meches! Open from 4am to 1pm you can get in a tasty treat almost anytime! You can get a king cake even in November, just make sure to order the day before so they can prepare it fresh for you! Josh's favorite is the cream cheese filled donut & cheese boudin balls. Annie's is the cinnamon sugar cake donut, or a raspberry and cream cheese filled king cake.
Olde Tyme Grocery
Making poorboys since 1982! A classic and deserving stop in Lafayette, you can't go wrong with Olde Tyme. They make a proper po'boy - scraping the bread out to fit more proteins and condiments. Annie's favorite is the shrimp po'boy. Josh's is the roast beef.
Fat Pat's Bar and Grill Verot
Josh's long time Lafayette favorite from his time going to ULL. The peanut butter bacon burger is Josh's go to order!
Borden's Ice Cream Shoppe
We ate dessert here for Annie's birthday with her family. A long standing ice cream shop in Lafayette, Bordens serves delicious ice cream, splits, milkshakes and more! An ice cream tradition!
Tsunami Sushi Lafayette
The first sushi restaurant on the strip. A sushi icon. You may have had it in BR or NOLA but the Lafayette location is the original! Annie grew up eating Tsunami every Tuesday night.
Buck & Johnny's: Eclectic Italian with a Cajun Flair
For those coming in Friday night and want some true Louisiana experiences early Saturday morning, look no further - Zydeco Breakfast at Buck & Johnny's!
