Today, Tuesday, July 16, 2024, marks the official opening of Superior Grill in Lafayette. After having the privilege to preview the restaurant during its training phase late last week, I can confidently say it was worth the wait.

There are many incredible details that are better for you to experience than for me to put into words, but it's clear that Superior Grill is the latest regional business to recognize something special about Lafayette and invest in our community.

From local managers to owners who were in town as opening day approached, everyone was genuinely excited to be in Lafayette, and that enthusiasm was definitely in the air.

I started my meal with complimentary chips and salsa but decided to add their bean, queso, and guacamole sampler. The beef puff taco was just as delicious as I remembered from another location, and my dining companions enjoyed fajitas, amazing mini-chimichangas, and of course, drinks.

Here are five things you should know before you head over to check out the latest addition to our local dining scene.

1. Multiple Bars to Explore

Superior Grill offers more than one bar, each with its own vibe. Take a moment to explore the various bar areas and separate rooms throughout the restaurant.

The spacious layout extends to the parking lot as well, so finding a spot shouldn’t be an issue. Just be cautious while turning out of the lot onto a busy Kaliste Saloom and be sure to follow all traffic signs and instructions.

2. Beyond Typical Tex-Mex

While Superior Grill serves up delicious Tex-Mex classics, don’t be afraid to step outside the box. The menu features an array of adventurous options, including a highly praised filet that might surprise you.

Be bold and sample as many new dishes as you can; the beef puff taco and mini-chimichangas come highly recommended.
