Found this on yelp on our way to New Orleans. We we're getting hangry in our RV and we were looking into some great southern style cooking and we found it! We ordered a bunch of different studs from the menu and everything tasted so good! Jamie, our waitress was Amaezing and had a great vibe. I personally had the hen and sausage gumbo, tasted incredible, and the soft shell crab Po Boy. Never had a Po Boy and was told it hadn't changed since 1937! Anywho, I loved it. Cheers!!

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday...two other folks in the place. Ham n cheese po'boy for me, catfish & shrimp for my coworker: both were good enough, but this place needs a remodel and a price reduction.

When I hear a combination of the word's "Opelousas" "Ville Plate" "tomorrow" and/or "9am," I usually immediately think "I'm packing a sandwich for work." Although the two and half hour drive from New Orleans is usually worth it because I can pick up a box of Billy's Boudin returning, I never find much to eat in these towns. But now I'm happy I found the good stuff. Since 1937, this family style, cajun and American cuisine diner has been producing some pretty damn satisfying meals. From deep fried catfish, to deep fried shrimp, crawfish étouffée, T-bone steaks in mushroom wine sauce, pork chops and even deep fried stuffed bell peppers. And they make some of the best tartar sauce I've ever had. The house made thousand islands was out of control! While salad wasn't flashy, just simple lettuce, cabbage, carrots and radishes, the dressing rocked! I licked the plastic cup container clean. Service was solid. I'm sorry I forgot her name, but she was good at answering our questions and even admitted what she couldn't, whereas "bs" waiters usually just talk too long while I'm waiting for my order to be entered. Our apps came out fast, and there was very little delay between busing and delivering our entrees. Massive portions. Excellent price for the size. Water glasses were kept constantly full. Small note, there was no lemonade, so no Arnold Palmers (but there was sweet tea). The interior could use a little bit of a face lift, and the bathroom, while clean, wasn't much than gas station level. The men's entrance opens to two doors: one in front of you and the actual men's to the right. It was kind of a tight space, and I had to lean over the garbage can to wash my hands. The entrance to the restaurant is typical of a diner. Seating is nominal, yet abundant. Dimly lit. Clearly a local establishment, though it's probably not often folks are coming to Opelousas for tourism, it certainly has won my business every time I'm in town.

So so service, place has needed updating for 25 years but the food quality can't be denied. Four of us for lunch and everyone enjoyed. Went through a rough patch some years ago but the food consistency is back strong!

Some of the worst food I have had in a long time! Expensive as hell and terrible management ! Stay away

Nice family restaurant ....located In the hood.. The staff was basically just a bunch of kids.. Nice kids but certainly not seasoned pros.. This is a nice family type restaurant (in the hood).. We ordered our food to go. Wife had fried gator .. I had a shrimp poboy. The fried gator and fries weren't very good. There was absolutely no taste to the order. Very dissapointed... The shrimp poboy was pretty good plenty of shrimp.. Bread was perfect... Overall I was disappointed.. The other yelp reviews made me think this place was gold.. My findings were it was average and overpriced.. I did like that poboy.. But I'm not bringing my family back into that neighborhood again at dark

Had the Shrimp Creole and it was a taste of the past. Just like Grandma's :)

On a cross-country road trip. Yelp reviews rocked. Got there, terrified. Walked in. Felt committed and even worse about our (my) decision. Went with the Catfish Po-boys (for two) to go. These po-boys will be talked about until the day we die. They're big. On soft, chewy bread, still slightly crunchy, a tiny bit spicy. This is the catfish po-boy that you dream about. Do not get overzealous and get the fries, ugh. But the remoulade (comes with the fries) is SO good, so I'm sure it comes with something else. So if you're lucky enough to have the I-10 bridge over the swamps to be out on your trip, or you just live in the area, these nice ladies will hook you up! Also as aforementioned. It's pricey ($12.95/each, one of the cheapest things on the menu), another reason for the trepidation. I see it this way, you can have something to talk about, or you can have McDonald's. Sometimes the experience is worth it.

Very disappointed! Food used to be very good. I agree with one of the previous reviews....new generation has taken over thereby food has worsened and building is run down. It also smells horrible in the restaurant. Really hope new management takes over

Very disapointed in a restaurant that we have frequented many times in the past. Looked forward to dining at Soileau's on our recent trip back down to Louisiana during the Thanksgiving week. I suspect that a new generation of the family has taken the restaurant because the food has changed for the worse. The seafood appeard to be frozen food from Sam's Club or Sysco with most items not etible with little or no seasoning. Our daughter had to send back her fish because she needed a knife to cut the thing. It was replaced with a "to-go" fish but it eventually found the trash. I would not be surprised to see Soileau's on an upcoming espisode of Restaurant Impossible. Too many other great dining options in the area for us to ever return to Soileau's. Sad to see the decline.

Ate here while working in the area (6-24-13). I heard about this place and finally decided to give it a try. This place was okay. I had the grilled chicken breast and baked sweet potato. The chicken was okay just a bit chewy. The sweet potato was really good. I think the prices were okay.

Service was good. Food was good and a large portion. Everyone in the party was pleased.

The food is awesome! Five stars for the food. We were a party of four. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer, it was good if you like onion rings, but I wish I would have skipped them and save room for the main course. The salads were also just ok. The four dinner orders were outstanding. We had Catfish Opulusious, Red Snapper, Steak and Shrimp, and Tilapia. They were out of crawfish for my catfish dish, but they substituted shrimp. No problem, it was great. Everyone agreed the food was delicious and the helpings plentiful. The stuffed potato was exceptionally good. We had so much food, we took a some home. I can't wait till lunch tomorrow!!! Our waiter was very good, the food was delivered promptly. The only downside is the atmosphere. There really isn't any, my reason for the four stars.

Went there yesterday (09-28-2013) and it was horrible! The service was terrible. We were a party of 8 and we were there for over two hours. The food was not that good (it has gone down over the years), prices have sky-rocketed, and the service staff was not friendly and slow. Even to get the bill, we had to go to the front desk to ask for it. I used to patronize this place all of the time and encourage folks to eat there. But, not anymore. Horrible and horrid.

The best thing we had at our table was the broiled half chicken. I mean that was AWESOME. Everything else was pretty decent. To be honest, the main reason I only give this restaurant two stars is because the service and execution from the kitchen was so bad it was hilarious. To completely forget a person's order (even after being reminded to bring his salad and then gumbo, you would think someone would make sure his entree would not be missed). It was not like this place was crowded. I think we were the waiter's only table for the night. the casserole, shrimp creole, and hamburger were fine, but nothing great. I wish we have heard about another place to eat dinner in town for the night that we were here, but alas what is done is done. If you are more interested in somewhere else to eat, check it out. I promise you are not missing anything that is a once in a life time opportunity. If you have been looking forward to eating here for a long time, keep your expectation modest at best.

During a road trip, visiting towns and cities all over our great state, we wandered upon Soileau's. We looked it up, heard some rumors it was good, and headed over. And holy fuck it was good. Please excuse my language. I usually hate expensive restaurants, and by my standards this is expensive, but the taste of the food far outweighed the price. I really felt like my money was well spent here. However I can't remember the feeling I left here with. If I was enormously full or not that is. I may have had some beers though. I ordered the Catfish Opelousas, which is one of their signature dishes. It essentially was catfish, stuffed with crab meat, covered in a crawfish etouffee like dressing. It was fucking good. I have vivid memories of it sliding it to my gaping pie hole. The good thing about this place also is that you don't have to sit in all the shit a normal restaurant with prices like these has, like fancy table cloths, fancy waiters, bougie attitudes. Infact this place is a little decrepit looking on the outside. But its a must if your in the area and don't mind paying the price. This would have a higher rating if prices went down, but it does have a big damn menu with alot of selections. I would definitely eat here again. And you should eat there now.

OH MY GOSH!!!, The food was fabulous! My brother and I like to find great local places to eat on our road trips and sometimes we hit the jackpot! The other reviews led us to try this place and boy are we glad they did. Service was a little slow but the food was worth the wait. We had the homemade onion rings, I had the pecan brochette and he had the Opelousas catfish. They brought out a huge plate of onion rings, way more than expected, and we laughed thinking we will never eat all those. We were wrong!!! They were perfect, and the sauces, especially the homemade cocktail sauce were excellent. Both dinner entrees were more of the same. I wish we lived close enough to go here on a regular basis. But then I'd have to work-out more so I could afford the calories! A must try if you are in the area. It is a little on the expensive side but worth it.
