Laura's Two - Soul food restaurant in Lafayette - 1904 W University Ave, USA

Would definitely recommend trying this spot if you are in the area. It’s a family owned business and the staff there are super attentive and friendly. There are certain items I do not eat and they guided me through which items on the menu would be ok for me to eat. The portion sizes are huge, the food is well seasoned all the way through. A couple of things to note the “stuffed” turkey doesn’t mean it is actually stuffed with stuffing or other dishes, so do not expect to order it and actually open it to find it stuffed with something else. However the meat was tender, juicy and seasoned all the way through. Also, some websites say they close later on the weekend but at least on Saturday they still close around 2pm, so I would recommend calling ahead of time, if you are trying to show up after 2. There is parking available, and indoor dining as well.

I try to find good places to eat at as a truck driver and I’ve stumbled on a place that I will be returning too. I ordered the shrimp and grits with the catfish and it was excellent. The wait was not too long either. The lady (I believe she is the owner) taking the orders is super sweet and she knows everyone that frequents her on a first name basis. They seem to be very family oriented and that’s something I value. Thank you for the great service.

I was in town visiting a friend and she brought us to Laura’s for some food before we left and it did not disappoint! From the moment we entered the establishment, we were greeted with a warm welcome. Order was taken and then we sat as it was prepared. I had the catfish, mac & cheese, corn, and also came with the rice & gravy. Everything was delicious! The staff is super friendly and hospitable and just make you feel at home. I would definitely recommend ☺️

This place was off the charts! I go back each time I am in town. Absolutely a hidden gem...massive portions

Best pork chops ever- the only thing I fear when I walk in is if they run out! Everyone here is the nicest and I honestly couldn’t recommend any other place better for soul food. I been coming here for several years of my life and being entirely honest, every day I came here just made my day better. Thank you Laura’s!

First time visiting for lunch and the entire experience was GREAT. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted warmly like family! All the food was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. We had fried catfish (forgot to take pic because we ate it so fast), stuffed baked turkey wings, potato salad, seafood okra, corn machchoux, rice and gravy. Prices were reasonable and the portions were generous. Will definitely back whenever we're in town!

Stopped at Laura's this past Sunday on our way to NOLA. My husband has never had soul food and really wanted tacos lol but I convinced him to give it a try. It was his FAVORITE meal the whole trip. Better than anything we had in New Orleans!! Tried to go back on our way home but didn't make it on time. Highly recommend!! Excellent food, great customer service :) Don't pass up the seafood okra!!! It was amazing!!!

Visited today from out of town and I enjoyed the food but most of all, just really appreciated the customer service! Businesses often lack effort in customer service but I am pleased to share that was not my experience here! Everyone was professional and welcoming.
