Sideboard - Lafayette

Had a great lunch experience with the family here. First off, the food is amazing. Not sure you could go wrong with anything. (Would love to come try breakfast here too!)
We got salads, chicken sandwich, and veggie burger as well as PB&J for the kids. All the food was tasty.
Great location near a large grassy area, perfect for the kids to play in. They even had some games to take and play with as well as a picnic kit and umbrellas if you want to eat over there.
Would definitely recommend!

A good fried chicken should be summarized in only one word: Harmony.

If you are already a Bake Sale Betties (BSB) fan, Sideboard will for sure broaden the horizon.

The brining skill is exceptional on this piece of tender and juicy chicken breast from the first bite till the last (BSB's tend to be dry in the middle and it's usually an indication lack of time for brining penetration).

Slaw is where this game starts. Napa cabbage with higher water content was used instead of the normal one. The chef was able to pull this off not letting the extra water ruin the crunchiness of the fried chicken. Seasoning is very restrained and some very tiny seeds (maybe celery seeds? Anyone who knows?) give it the right tiny amount of bitterness. Savory, deep fry, light sourness, spicy (from the aioli sauce) and a hint of bitterness intertwine with each other. Remember what I said at the beginning of a fcs?

Better go on a weekday.

Omg if you want a really cute and fun brunch spot, this is the place!
I came here to meet someone and the atmosphere is lively and feels like you're walking into a family's home for brunch. The service here was really nice e and quick to bus the tables.
To eat, I had a veggie Benedict. It was so tasty, so light and filling. I even took a pastry home for later that was so fluffy and sweet.
I would definitely come here for brunch. Hands down ny favorite spot for Sunday brun

You can always expects fresh & delicious food at Sideboard. It's a well-known restaurant in the area so expect a line to the counter. You place/pay your order, grab a number and hunt for a table either inside or out. The patio has heaters and blankets cuz it will get chilly but I enjoy dining al fresco. Plus there's a postage stamp grass area that buffers you from the busy road.

My favorite menu item is the beets salad and my fav bakery item is the English muffin. I don't get out to Lafayette often so that's my usual order.

Uber popular place in Lafayette downtown. Great selection of pastries and coffee drinks, as well as weekend brunch/lunch. We had a delicious bowl of cappuccino and the Gravlox egg bendicts were superb. Housemade english muffings topped with soft poached eggs, generous portion of housemade cured salmon, with Hollandaise, capers, and chives. Came with side of argula salad with shaved fennel, parmesan, and frech dijon vinaigrette. Delicious!
Long lines on weekends but moved pretty quicky, with lots of seating inside as well as counter and outdoor patio.

Cool place to grab breakfast. It's an "order and pay at the register" kind of place. I ordered the veggie benedict and French press coffee. I grabbed a table on the patio outside. They have heaters outside but not enough. It was packed inside so not a lot of choice there.
The salad and Benedict were delicious. The eggs were poached perfectly and there was a good amount of spinach and avocado on it. The brioche was a little hard to cut, it was toasted a little too much. My coffee came out about 10 min after my food so I deducted a star for that.
Not much in the way of parking, I got lucky and found a spot right in the front.
I did grab a couple pastries to go, the olive oil cake and a cranberry scone. The cake was amazing, the scone, not so much. It was hard and covered in powdered sugar which is unnecessary.
Still, I would eat here again. Probably when it's a little warmer out.

Bucket of fried chicken! Since there's no bone in fried chicken specialty fast food shops around here, Sideboard it is! They satisfy my fried chicken cravings. It's the item we order the most. Someone's we would also get a fiesta bowl to balance everything out.

We've also tried some of their sandwiches, and those were alright. A bit much for what we get, so we always somehow stick with the bucket of fried chicken. They have some "secret" menu here too as one time we brought home some chili fries! I was craving legit chili fries one day just as how I crave fried chicken more often than I should, it's Sideboard to the rescue. Bucket of fried chicken and chili fries. Great meal right there. Sometimes add in a fiesta bowl to get some greens and fiber.

One item I didn't really like were their tots. Not standard tots, more of fried mush potato bites.

I'd love to dine here one day and get a cappuccino, a pasty, a chai latte, and more, but my numerous experiences with sideboard have all been takeout.

I always loved Sideboard's lunch, and was really looking forward to brunch on this MLK holiday. Even better was that they had their special holiday menu offering, which I think is their expanded weekend selections.

We had a party of 10, and knew it will be a hit or miss with trying to find indoor seating on a rather cold morning. We arrived a bit after 9:15 and got lucky with their one long table and benches insides that could have easily even seat 18.

Ordering and seating is just like their Danville location - stand in line and place your order at the single cashier, get a table number and wait for the yumminess to arrive. Meanwhile when waiting, grab your silverware and cups of water at their sideboards. A very cute concept! This location actually has two sideboards. On either side of their interior. Seating also is limited at this location with nearly an equal amount of seats inside as outside.

While I have never had brunch at their Danville location, the brunch seemed to be just okay here with multiple people saying that the food was slightly bland. The presentation is beautiful, but the food was a bit underwhelming. There were some exceptions such as the delicious beignets that were perfectly crisped and not too sweet, the French toast, and the flavorful fries that accompanied the Breakfast Burger. Prices are rather on the higher side given it is a fast casual type of restaurant service.

In any case, I always love and continue to love the cute ambience and hominess of Sideboard! It's always a great meetup place with friends.

I work walking distance from Sideboard so it's been my go to eatery. They have a big menu of breakfast, sandwiches, bigger lunch entrees, coffees, and pastries. I've had their bacon scramble, Plato Mexicano, chicken pot pie, grilled chicken sandwich, chicory coffee, and a couple pastries.

My favorite has been the Plato Mexicano. The chicken sandwich came out pretty quickly which leads me to believe that the chicken is precooked and warmed up. The chicken pot pie was extremely soupy and needed some peas or veggies.

Parking looks to be limited and metered. They have a public wifi if you need it.

It was a good restaurant. I think that they had nice service and a decent amount of items.
