Don’s Seafood – Gonzales

The truth is, you don’t become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word “authentic” on your sign. When you’ve served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too.Grilled, fried or on ice-there’s time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable.We’ve spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It’s a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you’re always part of the family. Established in 1934. With four hundred dollars borrowed from his uncle, Don Landry opened DON’S Beer Parlor in downtown Lafayette in 1934. It was a casual hangout with a dirt floor where friendly folks served cold drinks and simple dishes. Soon after, Don joined forces with his family and created what we know today as DON’S Seafood. The DON’S experience became a true Cajun experience. The restaurant and staff may have changed since 1934, but one thing remains the same, DON’S dedication to serving fine Cajun cuisine. The Landry family has developed a recipe for success with locations in Metairie, Covington, Hammond, Denham Springs, Gonzales and in Lafayette on Johnston St. Thank you for being a part of our history and we invite you to be a part of our future.
