Shade Tree Cafe` in Broussard

Small intimate outdoor sitting only

The greatest food good people

Great Bacon burger and Sweet potatoe fries. Juicy, well season, dripping , good. Nice place, outdoor setting, hard to find if you don't know the place. Order taking is in the back shed, sitting is outdoor under a shaded tree, hence the name of restaurant. Outdoor setting is eye pleasing. Highly recommended if you don't mind the summer heat, unless you're taking it to go.

They best place in all of Lafayette. Small, peaceful environment, and the best Cajun food you will ever eat. The owner will remember your name after the first couple of times there! When I call to place my order, the ladies on the phone greet me and say "hello Dustin, you want your regular?" It's amazing how they remember me, with all the customers that come and go. This place makes you feel like your at home, and the staff makes you feel like family. Best place to eat by far. 10 out 10, by far a 5 star restaurant

The trout and crabmeat chef special is to die for!! I would pay triple what I paid because it's the best dish I have ever ate from anywhere ever! Dont know what I would do without this amazing place!

It will definitely be your best meal of the day. Do yourself a favor and grab a bite here at least once a week.

Awesome location and food.

Good stuff!

Amazing food! Relaxing outdoor dining under a beautiful oak. Absolutely everything on menu is Delicious!

This is the absolute best place to get home cooked food! I will definitely keep coming back as long as they are open!

Have specials five days a week. Good home cooked food.

WOW! Finally made a trip here, completely took me by surprise as the food should be 5 star. This is by far the best plate lunch I've had to date, downfall is it took me this long to figure that out.

Always good food and alot of it.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds.

A true hidden gem. Outdoor seating only under beautiful old oak trees. Had a crab burger that defies a description that adequately reflects the absolute flavor explosion experienced.

Very friendly! Chef remembered me by name on my second visit. Best dang seafood gumbo in Lafayette area!

Always one of my favorite places in town. Have never had bad food here. Have been coming to this place for years.

This is an outstanding place to eat. Dine under 100 year old oak trees to some of the freshest seafood and local foods. I have never had a meal there that I didn’t go to the owners a let them know that my meal could not have been better

Shade Tree represents one of the best culinary experiences of my life and upon each visit the wonderful people behind this quiet, little counter in the shade of Broussard manage to build upon that experience with continued dedication to making great food. Thank you so much!
