Places to eat in Lafayette by Cajundome

I've found myself at the Golden Wok buffet (523 Bertrand Dr...just down the "block" from the 'dome) many times before Icegators games. After making the drive across the swamp, usually with a limited amount of time, I'd just want to sit down and start eating right away, so the buffet lends itself nicely to those parameters. Snow crab legs, shrimp boil and ice cream bar should appeal to the kiddos.

Julien's Poboys or Judice Inn

Cafe Habanna is not that good. They do a couple of things well but NOT worth the money, and your kids won't like it anyway. Deano's may be packed but it is what you are looking for. You can always go to BJ's Pizza, not nearly as good, quality, or clean as Deano's, it's on Congress two blocks past Cane's. Baja is crap and over priced. The WOW cafe is crap too but they have TVs at the table that entertain the kids. Service at both of these it pretty bad and they will be packed too since they are across the street from the parking lot. Golden Wok is just another run of the mill 'Chinese' buffet. Ground Patti on Johnston at Cajundome is good for kids as well and much cheaper than Baja or WoW. Like someone else already said Julien's (poboys) on University about tree blocks north of Congress isn't a bad choice either. If you choose Don's Seafood downtown just be aware it is a 'blue hair' haven, like eating in a library.
