I have a love hate relationship with this place... On one hand they have some of the best burgers in town. If you are a person of habit, you should make a big Pete, (or small) one of them. I get mine with the grilled onions, mushrooms, swish cheese and a fried egg. (That's a requirement in my book to be a great burger). On the other hand, that's all they got going on for them. Their beer selection is limited, and the rest of the food is just not up there. My GF ordered a veggie wrap last time and it was literally wrapped salad mix with little to none dressing or seasoning at all. Pretty gross actually ( and I love veggies). Then again, her fault for trying to be "healthy" at PETE'S!!! (If I was them I wouldn't even make it a choice).

Always great burgers and fries. Unfortunately the burgers can no longer overcome the poor service. Too many employees standing around doing nothing. They don't write down orders when you place them. Not good when they consistently bring out the wrong order. No management. This used to be a great place but all good things must come to an end. Dine at your own risk. Too many other good options in Lafayette.

I gave this place three chances, probably two more than I should have. On the first trip I tried their burgers, which have gotten good reviews in the past and I was looking foward to trying one. It was average at best and a little overcooked. Service was unfriendly and slow. Second trip I decided that I'd try something else before I got there, then looked over the menu and realized nothing else looked even remotely interesting, so I ordered another burger out of desperation. Again, the burger was a disappointment, the service was cold and it almost seemed like the waitress was bothered by the fact that she had to wait on tables. I pretty much swore off Pete's and then noticed the sign for Rib-eye Night out front while driving by this past Thursday and against my better judgement, decided to give them one more chance. The place was mostly empty when we arrived so we grabbed a booth next to the bar. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. A waitress would appear once in a while only to race past us deliberately looking away from our direction. We counted three different waitresses and a bartender working that night, but not one acknowledged us sitting there in plain view waiting to be served. Twenty minutes later we walked out vowing to never return. Who ever is 'managing' this place needs to be fired along with everyone else working there.

Pete's has cold beer, hella good onion rings, good enough burgers, and a little slow service. But seriously, go for the onion rings. It's a huge serving! I think the kitchen closes at 11:00 p.m., according to my Dining in Lafayette Secret Decoder Ring.

I've been coming to Pete's since I was a young boy. This place has always been my favorite burger joint in Lafayette. Their Big/Lil Pete specials can't be beat, either. The beer is ice cold, and I love their house made chips. While there are lots of TVs, they need to be upgraded to flatscreen HDTV models. That's the only thing keeping this from 5 stars in my book.

Petes is a laid back place to have fun with friends. Their drinks are nice, but not too special. Their food is great for a grab and go type of dine in. I wouldn't recommend going there for a bar experience before 8 because kids are running around everywhere.

25 years ago this place was great. Today, not so great. Appetizers were swimming in grease. Burger was under seasoned. Egg on burger was over cooked. Bacon on burger was under cooked. Chicken tenders over cooked. Bucket of beer is domestic only, comes with 5 beers for $11.25 and that's their Sunday Funday Special. We had a party of 6 so the gratuity was figured in at 18%. Service was slow but waitress was nice. Cook was in the bathroom stall playing Candy Crush on his phone. No soup on the weekend and gumbo is seasonal, only when it's cold. Yes, Louisiana is a very cold place. Unfortunately Pete's has seen it's better days and with the passing of their long time cook their flavor also died. The only thing going for it was that it is smoke free.

The Big Pete hamburger was excellent. It met all the hype I've heard about it. The lower rating is about the service and the sides. We started with some apps consisting of homemade chips and onion rings. The portion sizes were huge but the grease they fried it all in was rancid. Even the infamous Big Pete couldn't dislodge the terrible aftertaste from my mouth. We told the server that the oil had an off flavor and she quickly informed us that we were the only customers complaining. After that exchange our service went south in a flash. Seriously, people that know me know that I never complain about anything regarding my food. I usually just make a mental note and not order the item again or just not go back to the establishment. Which is exactly what I will be doing to Pete's. Never going back again. So long Big Pete!!!!!

Nothing overly special but I didn't have the burgers everyone raves about. Wings were good although I was disappointed no Guinness on draft. Plenty of video games for the kids and TVs to watch the game on.

Best burgers in Lafayette. Period. Second best burger I've ever had, second only to Clover grill in New Orleans! However, service is not as good as it's food, but it is still tolerable. Great place to go with friends and watch sports.

As long as you get a good server, Pete's is a great option for a sports bar. Their homemade chips are unsurpassable. Seriously. I mean occasionally they're over salted, but the crispness is always perfection. Lots of good sandwich and poboy options. Good for large parties. Lots of TVs for game watching.
(4)Chris H.
Service was good but the Big Pete is now a smashed flavorless dried-out shell of its former self. At $7.50 there are way better burgers in Lafayette. We were really disappointed. We also really don't like the idea that the restaurant is now closed during the late game and is completely closed on Sundays. It really is a shame, but I think we have visited Pete's for the last time. I'd seriously take the old ratty-looking place with a solid burger and a Sunday Saints game over this newly renovated imposter of a sports bar any day.

The atmosphere has improved greatly. It used to be dark and dingy but the food was good. The onion rings used to come in a big basket and were delicious. Now they come in a small basket and are ok. The burgers are dry and you have to ask for mayo and mustard that comes in little packs. There used to be salt, pepper, and catsup on the tables, now you ask and they ration it out if you can get their attention. I only eat at locally owned restaurants and I'm disappointed that this restaurant doesn't meet my reasonable standards.

No chips, no draft beer, no atmosphere. Renovations look good but it stops there. No music, 5 items on a paper menu, One and done for me. Good luck

Very sad. Someone spent a lot if money making this place look nice but the kitchen and bar are not pulling their weight. Our waiter did a great job trying, but the waiter can't fix the bar or the kitchen. My cocktail was horrible. My kids chicken fingers were burned. My wives hamburger steak had gravy from a can. And my burger was over cooked, dry and unseasoned. You can't stay open serving unseasoned food in south Louisiana. We tried Pete's hoping the old dependable was back, but we will not be returning. Very sad.
