Chuck Eats Restaurant Week – Lake Charles Restaurants You Must Visit

Lake Charles is located in Southern Louisiana. I immediately fell in love with the city on my first visit a few years ago. So much so, I’ve declared myself a Lake Charles ambassador. I’ve travelled the United States extensively and Lake Charles is at the top of my list for favorite cities.

Why add Lake Charles to your travel list? The residents welcome you with open arms, the culture and traditions run deep, and the food is absolutely delicious. Flavors that occupy your thoughts long after the meal is over. If you have a trip planned to southern Louisiana or are lucky like me to live just a short drive away…. I highly encourage you to take advantage of the offers available during Chuck Eats Restaurant Week! I’ve compiled a list of Lake Charles Restaurants you must visit.

I highly recommend the burrata for an appetizer, and the 8 oz. filet for an entree. My steak was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth!

Seafood Palace
2218 Enterprise Blvd Lake Charles, LA 70601
Mention Chuck Eats Restaurant Week to receive a free soft drink or iced tea with the purchase of a meal.

Seafood Palace is a laid back and casual restaurant offering Cajun specialties including gumbo and more. Take your pick of your favorite seafood, then order it up boiled, grilled or fried.

Seafood Place is the first place I ever tasted a crawfish.  It’s a sweet delicacy similar to lobster. There is an art to eating crawfish. Tail gets consumed first. Then, there is a debate if you should suck the head or not on a crawfish?  Most in Louisiana consider this a necessity to get all the flavor from the meat in the head. Don’t worry if you choose not to… the people of Louisiana are the sweetest and won’t judge you either way!
