The Most Underrated Restaurants in Acadiana According to You

(I posted the question "What are the most underrated restaurants in Acadiana?" online, and I put this list together with those answers.)

When so much of what we do here in Acadiana revolves around food and so many people talk about food, it’s hard to imagine that there are restaurants we have yet to find. Hidden little gems that aren’t flashy, or maybe even well-known restaurants in cities you don’t frequent.

This list is about both of those. When the question of “What are the most underrated restaurants in Acadiana?” was asked, I think that people realized I wasn’t talking about the well-known, well-established restaurants like Tsunami, Charlie G’s, La Pizzeria Lafayette, or iMonelli. When you walk into any of those places, customers have high expectations and are rarely let down.

Most of the restaurants on this crowd-sourced list I have heard of, but there are a few in which I’ve never stepped foot. Don’t laugh, but I’ve never been to the original Cajun Claws in Abbeville (and I’m FROM Abbeville!). I’ve never been to the Yellow Bowl, Cajun Table, or Bus Stop Bistro, either, but after reading some of the comments, I must put them on my list.

Now, here is the crowdsourced list, in no particular order, of some of the most underrated restaurants in Acadiana according to those who responded to the question online.
