The Mulate’s/ Pont Breaux property is located at 325 W. West Mills Avenue in Breaux Bridge, La and includes a restaurant, dancehall, and a processing plant.
If your feet are already tapping and you are about to do a happy dance then just wait because the new restaurant will be called “Randol’s.”
In November of 2021, after celebrating 50 years of service to the Acadiana community, Randol’s Lafayette closed there doors.
We feel that we may have a longer role to play in the recovery of tourism post-COVID, Randol said. Reopening the site in Breaux Bridge may be the symbolic spark that helps rekindle the flame.
For years, Randol’s was known for fun, food and music,” Randol said, “where the young and old let the good times roll.

And that is just what Frank Randol is hoping to accomplish once again with this new endeavor.
Jimmy Lagrange of Cecilia, La will be the general manager of the new Randol’s location. Lagrange is no stranger to the restaurant business and spent 12 years with Randol’s in Lafayette and 25 years working at Mulate’s in Breaux Bridge.
We are excited to learn of Frank Randol’s new endeavor, said Ben Berthelot, President & CEO of the Lafayette Convention and Visitors Commission. For fifty years, Randol’s welcomed visitors from around the world, giving them an opportunity to become immersed in and fall in love with our culture. There is no question Frank can pull off a similar experience at the new historic location and we look forward to the positive impact this will have for the tourism industry.
Details on the new restaurant are pending.
