WELCOME…TO TRADITION
Tradition as defined by Webster is “the handing down of information, beliefs and customs by word of mouth or by example from one generation to another without written instructions.”
The Don’s tradition began in 1934 as a simple French-Acadian restaurant called DON’S BEER PARLOR. Don L. Landry, the founder, is a direct descendant of the Acadians who fled Nova Scotia more than 200 years ago bringing their religion, beliefs and a love of good food and good living.
Don was joined by his brother, Ashby D. Landry Sr., who was assisted by his sister, Myrtle Landry Simms. The food was excellent, the service warm and friendly—Don’s grew. Ashby and Don changed the name to DON’S SEAFOOD INN in 1942, marking Don’s growing variety of good food. In 1952, brother Willie G. Landry combined his corner grocery store with the restaurant, establishing DON’S SEAFOOD AND STEAKHOUSE.
During the ensuing years, as more Landry family members joined the group, other Don’s restaurants were established in Louisiana and Texas. The tradition of fine dining, begun in 1934 in Southwest Louisiana, has been continued for over half a century by the Landry family with these now internationally famous Don’s Seafood restaurants. Don’s specialized “Cajun-style” restaurants have earned a reputation for superior service and excellent preparation of fresh seafood and fine steaks. Each restaurant is independently operated and food is bought fresh from local markets; yet each restaurant adheres rigidly to the Don’s Seafood tradition of only the finest, freshest ingredients, carefully selected, perfectly seasoned, expertly prepared and graciously served.
What began as a tiny French-Acadian restaurant on a side street in Lafayette, Louisiana, has become a famous group of Cajun Restaurants. The Landry family is dedicated to continuing this tradition and to maintaining its reputation for fine food.
