Social Profile:

With over 50 years in food service, Chef Don Durley has been tantalizing Marquette area taste buds since 1983. Opened in April of 2006 is Lagniappe Cajun Creole Eatery. Six month’s later came the in house VooDoo Bar. Since that time a standard of quality food and service unsurpassed has been the basis for our authentic southern eatery. Stepping into Lagniappe is like stepping out of Marquette and into Louisiana. Every menu item and ingredient is made from scratch and in house, with the exception of ice cream, and we’re working on that! The myth that all Cajun food is spicy, is just that, a myth! Here we cook with spice for flavor, not for heat. We do feature authentic Louisiana culinary classics but that’s just a part of our current menu.

Rustic spot for Louisiana-style fare & cocktails, plus live Cajun & blues tunes.

Tucked in the basement, Lagniappe feels like such a colorful hole in the wall. The Cajun food was so flavorful and the waitress was immensely helpful in offering her favorite recommendations. If you’re ever in Marquette for a few nights, I’d highly recommend adding this place to your list!

We are locals and this is our “go to” for dinner and special evenings like Valentines etc. The owners are a local family that are well loved in the community. The food here is legit cajun but also there are “yankee” choices on the menu too. One of our frequent choices is “seafood risotto”. Tonight I tried something different- the fried green tomato BLT Po Boy. I will get it again!

Awesome food drinks and atmosphere!

If you come in from the front side, be sure to hit a left after you come down the stairs and see the host to be seated 🙂

As someone who has previously lived in Louisiana and worked at a locally owned restaurant there… I was so happy with this food and overall experience!

Their menu was so hard to choose from bc everything sounded amazing and you even got a little lesson in Cajun-Creole cooking!

Definitely recommend 🙂

Good selection of food, although the most variety and choices are Po boy sandwiches. Still there are options for vegetarians.
Portions are generous.
More “northern” takes on dishes than authentic cajun /creole food, but still tasty and you can taste that things were made from scratch.
Large menu of mixed drinks. Very limited options for wine and a bit more for beer, however, no beer is on tap.
Service was good.
I’d eat here again, but wouldn’t be my first choice.

Garlic cheddar grit cakes, seafood bisque, and crawfish étouffée are my must-haves every single visit. Always delicious and always great service. The Sex on Bourbon Street was great as well.

Make sure to stop in for the annual Fat Tuesday celebrations! Fresh raw oysters, live music, and other specials!

Wow, where to start. Everything about Lagniappe is fantastic! Atmosphere, service, and food are all 5 stars. After spending years living and working in south Louisiana, I was extremely surprised to find a place this good in the UP! We went for dinner and then came back for the brunch. The spicy martini was delicious, and they have Abita beer on tap. The food was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and great portions. Jambalaya, red beans and rice, blackened pork belly and butt, grit cakes, and more are all worth ordering. We ordered sides so we could try more dishes! The staff are friendly and welcoming. A must stop in Marquette!!

Excellent service in this nice New Orleans themed restaurant/bar. Fried green tomatoes, collard greens, gumbo, red beans and rice, salads all very tasty. Lots of beer options if you are into beer. Ice tea was great. Cozy booths for conversation.

While seating is difficult to come by, but the wait is definitely worth it! We had a party of six and had to wait about 45 minutes. Restaurant was not that busy but the food and the service once you get seated are outstanding. Everything was full of flavor But not over spiced. I have been to Bourbon Street and eaten at many restaurants in New Orleans over the last 30 years and this is truly a nice slice of the big easy up north. If you’re in Marquette and have the time I would definitely recommend this for a lunch or dinner. I would not call it inexpensive, but I would say it is definitely worth the price.

This is a must visit establishment. The entire environment is relaxing and quite amazing! Our service was spot on. Our waitress waited to put in our food order and tell our appetizer was almost done. Drinks were fantastic! Oh the food! By far some of the best Cajun I’ve had in the north! We tried the seafood fondue, seafood risotto, and shrimp and grits. All of them are worth more than five stars
