Literally everything is good... but, like Animal Farm, some are more equal than others. duch as the Smiling Noodles of Chicken & Shrimp. Oooh.. and desserts? YES! Cakes & pies are massive.
Kelsey KotzebueDecember 23, 2016Every type of food you can think of and it's all delicious. Nachos are bomb. Medium sized salads are perfect for one. The OJ is the best I have ever had.
Delicious food, terrific service and a great atmosphere to bring friends. Of you like beer ask them what their rotating handle is and a tester if you've never had it before!
My favorite eatery in lafayette! Tons of healthy options and organic options. Delicious wine cocktails and a good beer selection.
JasonApril 23, 2017Chow has multiple sizes for salads. They also have great salads. Therefore, Chow has great salads in multiple sizes.
Love this place!! Luis, the manager, is the nicest person!! Try the veggie burger, you won't miss the meat, I promise!
JesseJune 27, 2017Good food and drinks in a nice location. Some of the best pie around. Also, be on the lookout for Steph!
Grab an Oaktown Brown beer from the bar. In other news, everything here is tasty. Finish it off with a slice of lemon pie!- David MarshallSeptember 26, 2015The Chilaquiles Breakfast special was really good. Love that fresh squooze OJ.
Alexalyne CosasJune 14, 2015Best Brunch! Head over heels for their Blueberry Muffins... and anything with eggs ♡
Autumn or Winter Pasta is a yummy switch from the usually Veggie Burger. It's all so good! Just me and KS ;-)
Frank KimMay 9, 2016I agree, overpriced for the portions, the seafood linguine we could hardly share even though we ordered the large, the medium pizza was really an individual sized pizza, was cooked nicely though.
Laura Vanden DaeleMarch 1, 2013Mmm the chocolate cake with ice cream! Great if you are a chocolate lover
MattApril 7, 2010I am so happy they put the Strawberry- Rhubarb cobbler back on the menu! Now if they would make the BBQ pork sandwich a regular item, I'd eat here 3 meals a day!
Amy StevensMarch 16, 2013Food is predictable but tasty. Be forewarned that while service tends to be rather speedy throughout the meal, getting the check and paying is another story....
Try the chicken apple sausage with egg whites for breakfast. Yummy.
Leah BusseDecember 13, 2010Even meat lovers will enjoy the flavorful Veggie Burger. They def don't skimp on the avocado!
Judy LiuMay 24, 2011Breakfast scrambled eggs with pork carnitas was delicious. Was impressed with coffee too.
Ryan PalmerJanuary 9, 2019Very hearty meals. Don’t order the pastrami, though. It was too greasy and sent me to the toilet five times that day.
Devon HarperMay 14, 2014Very dog friendly outside. Half the customers are taking selfies withe their dogs.
Best chocolate malt shakes here and wonderful food market with lots of organic to go foods! Amazing!!
Rebecca HarrisonDecember 20, 2011Told the waitress I was trying to eat healthily. Ordered the veggie scramble; she said, "egg whites, no oil, no butter; salad instead of potatoes?" Awesome!
Corn pasta is available for anyone avoiding gluten.
Definitely are going to want to sit outside unless you want to feel like a sardine in a very noisy sardine can.
Craig VillamorMarch 9, 2013Careful! Arnold Palmer prices are an astronomical $4 with no refills. Just spent $16 on non-alcoholic beverages. :-(
