"My husband and I decided to dine at Cafe Sydnie Mae’s for a date night while we were in the area. Everything was wonderful—from our incredibly sweet waitress Lacie to the Breaux Bread, which my husband claimed was the best bread he had ever tasted. For our main courses, Lacie helped us choose the Teche Wellington; it was flaky and bursting with flavor, featuring generous chunks of crab, crawfish, and shrimp in a well-seasoned sauce. My husband ordered the Ribeye, which was cooked to perfection with a lovely peppery crust. The restaurant itself is charming, adorned with interesting wall decorations. A band played familiar tunes, enhancing the overall experience beautifully. We will definitely return the next time we're in town."

"Once you enter, you'll find a cozy dining room and steam table area where you’ll likely see Ms. Glenda with one or two helpers. She typically offers three to four meats and a similar number of vegetables, all served on one plate. For drinks, you can choose from tea, lemonade, or possibly some canned soft drinks. Grab a seat at one of the tables and prepare to savor your meal. This is the kind of meal you’ll remember for its ability to evoke a smile with every bite. I recently had the chance to visit again after about three years, as I don’t pass through this area as often anymore. I got the last stuffed turkey wing, and to make up for the missing wing, they added a smothered pork chop. I picked corn and smothered potatoes for my sides, and with a refreshing homemade lemonade and tax, my total came to $14. Just like on previous visits, I felt a wave of happiness and satisfaction while enjoying my food. The meats were incredibly tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were delightful as well. The smothered potatoes carried a surprising kick that was unexpected but enjoyable. Both the wing and chop were served over a bed of white rice and drenched in savory gravy. South Louisiana is known for its rice, and true Cajun chefs like Ms. Glenda understand the significance of great rice and gravy. Honestly, I could happily eat just her rice and gravy. That meal was truly fantastic! This is the epitome of comfort food. Although it's a hole-in-the-wall type of place, the food is undoubtedly the main attraction. They also have a drive-thru window, as many locals prefer to pick up their meals and enjoy them at home. Those fortunate enough to be “in the know,” like myself and now you, also make the trip here. Be aware of their hours; they’re only open for lunch, and the dining room closes at 1 PM while the drive-thru stays open until 2 PM. You can call their number for the day's menu information. I've been visiting for over 10 years, and don’t be misled by the few Yelp reviews, as I doubt there are many Yelpers in Breaux Bridge, LA. Trust the current 4.5-star average though. Dining at places like this is like stepping back in time to a world that’s fading away. So take a break from the interstate, drive for six minutes, slow down, relax, and enjoy a delicious lunch."

"This place is so good! Several years back, we ran across this gem for a weekday lunch. They had a bounty of all the Cajun Country standards, expertly prepared. Our second visit, a few nights ago, was a weeknight dinner. Smaller menu offered at night. Our server recommended the fried catfish. It was possibly the best I’ve ever had. It was a deliciously seasoned cornmeal dip. My husband had the Crawfish Étouffée, also superb. The entrées were both perfectly seasoned, as opposed to being spicy. We both had their house made potato salad and coleslaw as sides. No Sysco truck backs up to this place. Everything is from scratch and made with love. Check out their smoked sausage specialty meat. Bring home some Boudin- it’s spicy!"

"We decided to try this place after out swamp your nearby. It was great! It has a very colorful interior and fun decor. Food was inexpensive and the portions were big. Word on the streets was that they had great margaritas but since I was driving, I had to pass! I enjoyed most of my meal, but was disappointed with my chili relleno. They seemingly did not roast the chili before stuffing and frying so it wasn't as good as it could have been. My son loved his steak burrito although he added a bunch of stuff to it himself.. cheese dip, lettuce, tomatoes, and rice. The fried ice cream was wicked good!"

"Incredible food! I've traveled across the country for work, and this place ranks in my Top 5 Mexican restaurants. The frozen mango margaritas are fantastic. The Bloody Mary wasn’t outstanding, but it was well-seasoned and served its purpose. The waitress was friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!"
