Sgt Preston's of the North

For American pub fare this is my favorite place. Great serivce and good quality food. You can find a lot friends at Preston's and make new ones too. My favorite is the French Dip sandwich with provolone, onions and green peppers but hold the mushrooms. Thier steak fries are the best I have found in Lafayette. Great with a side of BBQ sauce. Outdoor dining is nice on thier back patio.

Also a great place for parties and gatherings. I held my office winter party there in thier outdoor heated tee pee - way cool and fun. Great place!

This place is one of my favorite spots in the summer because of their beer garden and they often have live music out there. The food is good, wouldn't say great. I would say the staff is great though. They are attentive, friendly and down to earth. They always have something on "special" and prices are decent at regular price as well. If you are opposed to cigarette smoke, though outside the tables are close to eachother. The inside bar is pretty dark. I know that they have a good crowd of regular that sit at the bar top and seem to be enjoying themselves. And they serve a mean corned beef and cabbage for St. Paddy's day, always a good time. I recommend Sgt. Prestons, especially their beer garden.

The food is surprisingly normal and actually pretty tasty.  I think they have the best sour cole slaw I've ever had.

I would give it more stars but I'm not really into the atmosphere.  The outside is killer in the summer. Ok .. its a 4/5.
