Eggs Up Grill Now Open in Lake Charles, Marking the Brand’s Debut in Louisiana

Eggs Up Grill has arrived in Louisiana. The new Lake Charles restaurant officially opens the doors to the state’s first Eggs Up Grill, bringing a fresh, community-focused dining experience to Southwest Louisiana.

The restaurant is owned and operated by Norman Carter and T-Claude Devall, longtime friends and local entrepreneurs who share a deep connection to the area. Both residents of Lake Charles, Carter and Devall are proud to invest in their hometown and bring new energy to the city’s vibrant food scene.

Carter brings more than two decades of restaurant experience, while Devall offers business expertise and local leadership. Together, they aim to create a space that feels like home — a place where neighbors gather for breakfast, brunch and lunch served with genuine Southern hospitality.

“Lake Charles has an incredible food culture, and we’re proud to introduce something fresh, family-oriented and focused on community,” said Norman Carter. “We want guests to come have a good time with great food, to feel connected here and to be part of something special. Opening the first Eggs Up Grill in Louisiana means a lot to us, and we’re excited to build an experience that keeps families coming back.”

While the restaurant is already open and serving guests, Devall and Carter plan to celebrate the milestone with a grand opening event in January, featuring special promotions, giveaways and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Norman and T-Claude represent the very best of what Eggs Up Grill stands for: community, connection and heartfelt hospitality,” said Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill. “Their enthusiasm for this brand and their pride in introducing it to Louisiana make this opening especially meaningful as we continue to grow nationwide.”

The Lake Charles restaurant is open daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering dine-in, online ordering and catering. Guests can enjoy signature favorites like omelets, breakfast sandwiches, burgers, bowls and mimosas in a warm, inviting atmosphere designed to make every visit feel like home.
