Wow, was wanting a nice homemade lunch before heading home after a doctor appointment. A nurse recommended and it was all-around great! Fast and friendly service plus very clean place. Daily specials are available along with the full menu. It was just right. Home style southern entrees and sides. We ordered gumbo and chicken wings to start. The chicken and sausage gumbo was great. The roux is very flavorful. My husband’s chicken wings were cooked perfect…light, crispy and tasted fresh. He said for having no sauce they were awesome. I ordered the plate of Meatloaf with red gravy. The plate came with rice or mashed potatoes plus two sides, roll or cornbread and a dessert! Can’t beat it. The sides I ordered were smothered cabbage and black eyed peas. It was all delicious. We looked around at what other people ordered and and saw yummy chicken tenders and fresh fried seafood. There are also plenty of good, healthy and grilled options but we chose different today. And, they offer breakfast. Plus, they make homemade cakes. Today was coconut and lemon. Yum! We will definitely go back. Bravo to the cooks! This is a must try spot when visiting Lake Charles.

Everything looked SOOOOO good! The pancake was great even without syrup. The rest of the food was completely unseasoned. I was quite disappointed that they cooked it without seasoning. I ate as much as I could so I wasn’t hungry anymore. But they def need seasoning when cooking omelette and grits. Adding Salt and pepper wasn’t enough.

This is a classic Southern diner with delicious fried food, wings, seafood, salads, and friendly servers. We were passing through on a trip from South Georgia to Houston, Texas and in a bit of a rush. The waitress served a delicious meal very quickly and we were on our way.

We had a great experience here. The chicken and sausage gumbo was so good (we are so picky when it comes to gumbo, we don’t like all those onions in there. There wasn’t many and it was delicious!) We also ordered a hamburger and shrimp poboy. We had to take it to go because we were full from the gumbo. Our waitress Kari was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and very sweet. I definitely want to come back for breakfast!

Cute little place that we stopped and had breakfast before heading back home to Austin. Staff were friendly, food was really good, and the place was “cute”. Will definitely go back if I’m in Lake Charles again.
Oh, and the coffee was off the chain. I asked about the brand and they told me it was Douwe Eggberts. I found it on Amazon and bought some of it. I couldn’t duplicate the aroma and flavor, though. Maybe I bought the wrong grind, or they have a version for commercial kitchens, or it’s the water, or the coffee maker…who knows! Anyway, theirs was better than mine.

I visit Lake Charles occasionally. Love breakfast and found Southern Spice. Excellent food and service always, and without exaggeration, the BEST cup of black coffee I have ever had. I would recommend it to anyone who loves breakfast.

I am thankful that someone recommended Southern Spice for a good home cooked meal! A true gem of Lake Charles. The waitress was fantastic. The food is awesome! I had Western Omelette with added Ham. Plus I had Two Biscuits with Country Gravy. The biscuits are so soft and fluffy!! My coworker had the Ribeye Steak and Eggs. He says that is the best steak and eggs that he has ever had!!!!! 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆

Awesome service! Awesome food! I’ve eaten at Southern Spice many times when in Lake Charles over the years. I’ve never been disappointed in the service. The food is always tasty and comforting. I will, in fact, be in Lake Charles today at lunchtime. I look forward to seeing everyone at Southern Spice!
