Pete's

I had seen the bad reviews however i did see people defending the place, i'm from alabama and went there because for some reason i trusted that this place was in fact good, the food was great the service was great and my waiter was very respectful and even turned on the game i requested. if i am ever in Lafayette again i will definitely give them a visit again. nice chill place with tons of tv's and a nice bar.

.OK, we've been customers of Pete's over 35 years, and the 2.5 star rating is B-S. In fact, Pete's has better burgers & onion rings than the other places listed on this Yelp page listing.Yes, we are familiar with them, too. In fact, we frequent one, b/c it is on our way home.One regulars' tip: The ''Little Pete" cheeseburgers are a bit better than the "Big Pete" burgers, despite having the exact same ingredients. No one knows why this is. Pete's is now part of Charley Goodson's Restaurants Group, all of which are very good to excellent.Lots of parking in private lots, little shade. Pub-style full bar with booths & tables all around. Many large TV's with sports events.Full Pub-style menu, with sandwiches, wraps, soups, chili, super burgers, etc.Only negative is that the new decorations seem hostile to LSU Alums & Fans, which comprise about half of the regular customers. We are loyal, anyway.Don't miss this iconic Lafayette place.Rick.

Great locals place, established in 1968. They are known for their burgers... Big Pete is a half pound burger, Lil' Pete is a 1-4 pound burger. Home made chips are fantastic! My chicken quesila was a perfect pre-game food!

Unclean, wait staff impolite (at best indifferent), culinary mediocrity. Atomosphere meh. Was good few years back. Falling back into "old petes" except no smoking inside.

First time visitor here and I was there withfriends for about 4 hours, bartenders weregreat but a manager tapped me on theshoulder and said there were complaintsabout my volume once he got on shift, DONOT come here with friends if you're wantinga good time you will be pretty much kickedout for being too loud when the place waspretty much empty! I'll be spending mymoney elsewhere since apparently they dontwant the business! Thanks for the waste ofmoney Pete's, oh and I'm also a hairdresser in town so I'll be passing the word on to everyone Iknow!

A place where there is a little for everyone, and the service was great! We had the following:NATCHITOCHES MEAT PIES - Five Original Natchitoches meat pies stuffed with beef and pork - you gotta love a Nachitoches meat pie!!DEBRIS FRIES - Philly steak, grilled onions & peppers, smothered in gravy & queso - messy, but so delicious!BIG PETE - world-famous half-pound signature burger. Served with Duke's mayo & fresh cut toppings with side of fries - talk about a burger! Add egg and bacon, and you are in heaven!CHICKEN FRIED STEAK - Thin cut breaded sirloin fried to perfection & smothered in country gravy with side of tater tots - well made, delicious, and the country gravy? to die for!Definitely a spot to check out!Check @eatinglafayette on Instagram and Facebook for more Lafayette food things!

Stopped for a quick bite. We enjoyed the Mozzarella Wedges for an appetizer. I enjoyed the shrimp platter with sweet potato fries and baked beans. The beans were different to my taste.. didn't care for em. Daughter had the lil Pete and loved it.. great burger.

Great spot. Coldest beer in town. Great food. Owners did a great job with the remodel.

Cool looking place. Food is pretty good. My biggest issue is the AC seems to always be broken. I've been multiple times and have been told a few of those times that the AC isn't working.

Been coming here for years, I was excited to see it reopen. the hostess was very nice but the manager was very rude (with a fake smile on her face) who actually made the issue worse by not listening to us. When we finally sat down we order two margs on the rocks. Got brought two frozen ones. We tried a frozen and a rocks one and both were bad for different reasons. had to finally ask for a food menu. Fried cheese order was 4 sticks of cheese for $12. no cheese in one of them. Fried pickles were so salty we left them, paid our bill (tipped the waitress, not her fault) and left and went somewhere else to eat. Really could not be a worse experience.
