Lagniappe Cajun Creole Eatery

Blake was amazing. He recommended ded the Garlic cheddar grit triangles which were amazing. We had the crayfish pasta and jambalaya which were both wonderful (tons of leftovers though) and mud pie for desert. A must try when in the area.

We decided to try the Lagniappe restaurant after hearing many good things about it. We tried it on the weekend so parking was free, and it was a short walk to the restaurant. The entrance we came in was on Washington and we walked down the stairs to the basement of the building, which is where Lagniappe is located. The atmosphere was amazing, with brick and wood walls creating a beautiful atmosphere. We were seated promptly since we came before the rush, and our server was very attentive and helpful. We had the mussels for an appetizer and two of us were smitten with it. The others liked the taste but weren't keen on the texture of the mussels (nothing with the food, just not a texture that was for them.) For entrees we tried the Shrimp Po Boy, the Jambalaya, the shrimp boil, and the Gumbo Ya Ya. All of this was superb! The portions on the Po Boy and the shrimp boil were perfect (we chose the one pound option.) The Gumbo Ya Ya felt a bit light; would probably not order this as a standalone meal in the future. The Jambalaya was a massive amount of food! All of us tried it, one of our members had it in addition to his gumbo, and there were still leftovers for a full meal the next day. At the end of the meal each person declared this their new favorite restaurant in Marquette. Looking forward to visiting again! Parking: There are numerous City of Marquette parking lots as well as street parking available. Both of these are paid M-F 9AM to 6PM, but outside of that it's free.

Outstanding restaurant. The food is incredible and very authentic (I lived in Louisiana nearly twenty years) and the service is fantastic. I especially love their muffalettas and catfish!

The chicken and waffles are to die for, as are the eggs Benedict de jour. Brunch is always good here. There is a fee for using a credit card to be aware of as well.

I cannot lie: This was one of the most amazing places I have ever been to. There aren't too many Cajun food options up by the western side of the U.P., but I will admit that the Lagniappe Cajun Creole Eatery is definitely one of the most authentic Cajun restaurants I have visited. I never had a chance to eat catfish or crawfish before, but I got a chance to try it here and it was delicious. Not too much heat for those of us who can't tolerate too much spice, but definitely not bland either. The flavors all meshed together well and the sauces they had to go with their seafood dish was a perfect medley. For dessert, my mom and I ordered their orange liqueur creme brulee and it was so delicious. Creme brulee is another food I have never tried before and I'm glad I got the chance to do so at the eatery. It was so light and creamy and the drizzle was beautifully done on top. I will admit there was a slight notice of alcohol in the creme itself, but it was subtle enough to keep a person sober. If you feel the need for that option, I recommend their alcoholic dessert that is more for the adults. My drink of choice was the Abita Root Beer and it was most likely the best root beer I've ever tasted in my entire life. I'm not too much of a fan of pure cane sugar in a drink because I believe it simply makes the soda too sweet. That said, the Louisiana cane sugar within the root beer was the perfect amount of subtle to withstand and so smooth to the taste buds. Overall, I would give the Lagniappe Cajun Creole Eatery a high score of 9.5 out of 10.
