Atchafalaya Cafe is a charming seafood restaurant nestled in the heart of Morgan City, Louisiana. Its inviting atmosphere is complemented by fast and friendly staff, making every visit a memorable experience. Diners rave about the NOLA roast beef poboy, a must-try dish that captures the essence of local cuisine. Reviewers like Jessica Comardelle appreciate the well-portioned shrimp platter, emphasizing that the shrimp are anything but ordinary. The laid-back vibe of the cafe welcomes casual diners looking for comfort over pretension.

Food enthusiasts will be delighted by the standout offerings, such as the incredible bread pudding, highly recommended by many patrons, including Nicole Hebert and Pamela Mcelyea. The latter notes that you step into a slice of Louisiana culture as soon as you walk in, highlighted by the vibrant ambiance and superb service. With a full bar and plenty of dining options, including succulent redfish and oysters, there’s something for everyone.

The restaurant’s commitment to cleanliness and comfort only adds to its appeal. As Steven Allbright mentions, the historic decor enriches the dining experience, making Atchafalaya Cafe a culinary treasure worth revisiting.

Good food and great atmosphere. Staff was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend the NOLA roast beef poboy!

I ordered a shrimp platter, and the shrimp were a nice size and not popcorn shrimp. The place is very casual, so if you're looking for 5-star looks and not 5-star food, go elsewhere. I like either way. Great service, especially from my server. Before receiving the check, I suppose the hostess came to the table and asked if we needed anything else, and suggested the bread pudding. Take my advice, Do not go eat there and not have the bread pudding. It's the best bread pudding I've ever had.

This place is amazing on all levels. From the moment you walk in the door, the music hits you and you know right in that moment you are in the heart of louisiana. The service is fantastic. You are greeted and made to feel welcome immediately. The food is spectacular. From the duck strips as an appetizer to the boiled shrimp and pasta, you cannot go wrong. The red fish and oysters are amazing as well. There is a full bar so if you want a cocktail they are available. Don't hesitate to go. It's worth every penny!

Another great find in Morgan City, LA. Had the best Roast Beef poor boy with Debris gravy and sweet potato fries (my favorite). Our girl was great, fast with the order. Well versed in the menu and let me know immediately her favorites. Service here is a winner. All kinds of awesome dinning options. They also have a large very well stocked bar room, perfect for any kind of party. Additionally they have a screened in room for outdoor dinning with plenty of seating. There is a lot of history in this place, much is hanging on the walls. Plenty of parking all around this stand alone building. Extra points for the very clean bathrooms. I’ll be back here to try out all of the other delicious looking choices on the menu.

I swear I haven't had a bad meal in Morgan City. We were first-timers to this quaint restaurant. This place exceeded my expectations for sure! I can't wait to return for another amazing meal.

This place is a solid go to for great Cajun cuisine. It’s located right on the main drag through Morgan City. The service is always top notch and the food never disappoints. You have to stop by and see the memorabilia down the hall ranging from old oil & gas photos to the “Elvis” costume. It’s like dinner and a show :)
