I'm a Cajun girl who grew up eating gumbo, andouille sausage, courtboullion, etc. I enjoy eating at Eunice just to see the different takes on traditional Cajun food. I often visited family in the little town of Eunice, LA when I was a child, and this restaurant's name just brings back old memories. I love the ambiance, the service is great and the food is delicious. We'll be back.

First time eating out for Thanksgiving and we really enjoyed our meal. The food was Cajun forward but tasted very traditional. The pumpkin pie was something from my dreams. I wish they would add it to the menu for winter.

Stress free night. Nice ambiance. Food is consistently good. If you like a dark roux gumbo you need to try Eunice’s. Would also recommend the Dan Dan Shrimp. Service is unobtrusive but attentive. Cocktails were made just as ordered. Manager even came by to check on us. They have a nice outdoor dining and cocktail area that we are planning to reserve for our next visit.

Eunice staff do a good job of making you feel welcome. The food was amazing as usual. We were able to chose from the brunch menu as well as have some of the favorite entrees. The kitchen was accommodating for those that wanted to split plates as well as those that wanted a smaller portion. The bar created some fun mocktails for some of our younger guests.

Outstanding service and food. Our party of eight was served wonderful apps, drinks, and mains. The mains all arrived at nearly the same time. Eunice employs the nicest people, from the hostess desk to the busboys. We've eaten here with four ppl, and just the two of us, and now eight. Eunice service and food is consistently excellent!

Very average food at very high prices. The shrimp etouffee was served with what appeared to be day old rice reheated and the shrimps were small and in short supply. The dish was lukewarm and the sort of thing you would pick up in a café for $7, came at a $44 cost. A cappuccino was $5 as well. I assumed that the cornbread was part of the cost of the dish, but to my surprise it is also a specialty of the house @ $15 on top of the outrageous cost of the lunch portion of etouffee. Never again will I pay for such a poor lunch and two coffees for $114 before tax and tip, another $30.

The service was not as good as usual. I was disappointed, as this is one of my go to establishments in H-Town. My guests, were also underwhelmed. We repeated had to look for our server. Even getting another servers attention was challenging and we were at one of the big round booths. Even the manager seemed inattentive. Something is definitely off here now.

We had a family dinner and ordered corn bread (5 stars), gumbo (4 stars), Gulf fish/flounder (3 stars), ribeye (2 stars; steak was very fatty, greasy, and smothered with mushrooms and way too much which came with a side of potatoes which were mediocre), bread pudding (2 stars, we really expected a place like this to have great BP but it was disappointing), cocktails were on point though (5 stars for Cosmo martini, Pimm’s cup, and Yellow Rose IPA). We were there for a Friday 7pm and the place was more than half full which initially surprised me but after our meal I think I know why. This was our 3rd time dining there and it had been over a year since my first 2 times; something changed and unfortunately not for the better.
