For over 17 years Bailey’s Seafood and Grill has been serving up delicious food to the people of Lafayette. Owner, Ema Haq moved to Lafayette over 20 years ago with dreams of becoming an engineer and working offshore. To put himself through school Haq got a job working in a restaurant as a busboy and working his way up through the ranks to server/bartender. Haq reached his goal, graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Now 17 years later, Haq has over 30 culinary awards including the Louisiana Restaurant Association “Restaurateur of the Year” award, the association’s most prestigious honor. Bailey’s Seafood and Grill combines authentic French Acadian fare with fresh ingredients and a style of cooking rarely seen in the Lafayette area. Each dish from their famous Crab Cakes to their Grilled Chilean Sea Bass have been engineered to perfection.
