We happened to have our travels land us in Iowa! Not Iowa the state, but rather Iowa, the town in…read moreLouisiana. Needing something for dinner, we took to Yelp... After much per reasoning of the choices of the area we chose, Roy's Meat Market! From the moment we stepped into this beautiful establishment, we knew that all the previous reviews were true, a proven hidden gem. My first question was what is Bohdin? With that our waitress promptly pulled an entire 16 inch link out of the pan and cut it into three pieces and told us to try it and see if we liked it. It was delicious, I asked her what I owed, she said nothing. Everyone needs to try it! At that, my wife and I ordered, I ordered the shrimp. Po-Boy sandwich filled with the condiments that I selected. My wife ordered the smoked turkey salad, it was huge! We then ordered a couple of beers, and proceeded to our table to wait for our food. We were greeted by some wonderful people sitting in the dining room, who were so kind and so welcoming it felt like we were at someone's home sitting around the kitchen table with old friends. Come to find out it was the owner, and one of his longtime, trusted customers and friends. As we were getting ready to leave, we were able to have a wonderful conversation with the owner ourselves, we've made a decision. The folks down here are absolutely kind as can be and so welcoming. In regard to the food, try it all give it a chance and you won't be disappointed!

They also had Fresh Made Pork Rinds, no worries one day I'm leaving the pork alone I decided to get the bag of Fresh Pork Rinds. They had frozen meats to go and gumbo to go. We did not grab meat because we still have a whole before we head home, they do have you a frozen bag on sale right next to the freezer and Fridge for your convenience. You should definitely stop by while visiting Louisiana! The Service was quick and easy and the Ambience was casual and comfortable with outdoor seating. Parking Ok, if you fear trucks do not come here

Since meeting my boyfriend, I've heard nonstop about In-Laws. From day one--right after I mentioned…read moreI went to college in New Orleans--he's been hyping this place up. So after performing at New Orleans Jazz Fest this past weekend, we finally made a stop to see if it lived up to the praise. Pulling up, it honestly looks like a simple gas station pit stop--the kind of place truck drivers frequent (and judging by the steady flow of trucks, that checks out). But stepping inside was a completely different experience. It was clean, open, and surprisingly welcoming. Before even ordering, we found ourselves in the frozen section grabbing items to take home--boudin, deer sausage, gumbo... you name it, they had it stocked and ready. It already felt like one of those hidden gems you're glad someone put you on to. Then came the food. My boyfriend has been talking about their fried ribs for over a year, so of course we had to order them. He also got chicken wings, while I kept it light with Cajun boudin balls and green beans. First bite of the boudin ball? I was pleasantly surprised. Flavorful, slightly doughy, but still really good. But let's get to the star of the show... The fried ribs. As someone who's lived in Texas for over 20 years, I had never even heard of fried ribs. But baby... these were it. Perfectly seasoned all the way through, incredibly tender, and honestly--you could barely even tell they were fried. Just juicy, flavorful, and done right. This review is really just to say: fried ribs are real... and In-Laws does them right. If you're ever driving between Texas and Louisiana--somewhere around Lake Charles or Lafayette--do yourself a favor and stop here. 10/10. Highly recommend.

So most everybody doesn't know, the amount of Burger King I buy. I am a straight fiend. I don't eat…read morefast food, really except for BK. This particular location isn't as bad as make people make it seem or sound. So let me give you a pure raw detailed review, from a guy who eats so much Burger king, he has a corporate rep who reaches out at underperforming restaurants that he reviews. Actually, they should make me the Burger King Czar. I ordered thru the mobile app, my signature Whopper, heavy all, heavy jalapeno. All Burger King's in different states are different in what they offer. I noticed trying to build my burger from the app, there is no option to add extra anything. It was either regular or no. I tried to circumvent the app options and ordered my Whopper that I have saved to my favorites that I get at other Burger Kings in hopes that it would go through the system, but looking at my receipt and my food, it did not. This is not the fault of the employees, it's the location. They don't even have jalapeno here. I came inside and stood there for probably maybe one or two minutes, and a gentleman came from the back. Didn't really acknowledge me, grabbed a cup and took a drink of whatever he's drinking. So I said "how you doin sir?". Then he asked me what I wanted and I told him I made the mobile order. The place isn't filthy as other people say, but it's not the cleanest either. I noticed a few soda rings on a couple tables, and straw paper wrapper shreds strewn randomly, but it wasn't like filthy. Anyhow, I ordered my signature whopper. And I got what is pictured. Since there's no option for "heavy all" I just essentially got a normal double Whopper, low carb. They're out of plastic bowls, and the nice lady told me that beforehand, but I was fine with it being just wrapped in paper. So after a few minutes, I got my food. The same gentleman behind the counter handed it to me. And I said "thank you, sir". He didn't say nothing back. He turned around, and I don't really care, BUT, and I think and I hope this wasn't directed towards me, but I heard (inaudible) (inaudible) mothaf***a. Not too sure if it was directed at an order that it just popped up or what, because he was looking at a monitor, but it just hit me as strange. I actually thought he was really cool dude. I don't really care and it doesn't affect me either way when people use profanity. Well unless I'm like at a steakhouse like bugsy and Meyers dropping $1,000 on a steak dinner. So all in all, I guess three stars will do. I did read the reviews before going in and took that chance, but there's a lot of Burger Kings that have bad reviews that I buy food from, that I try to correct. I've been to quite a few really really bad Burger Kings, and this one isn't the worst, but then again, it's definitely not the best.

NEVER AGAIN! AVOID! GO TO HARDEES OR MCDONALDS! SAVE YOURSELF!…read more We have to travel to Texas for medical appts, stopping here to grab a biscuit is just easy. Today is Tuesday, Aug 20, the time is 10:15 a.m. And today was our LAST VISIT to this Iowa, La BK. Some days they are out of biscuits in the morning! Sometimes they have no sausage. And that baffles me because they NEVER have cars in front of or behind us. So,today, Aug 20th at 10:15 am we ordered the 2/$5 egg & cheese croissant w/ham. My husband said, "2 for $5 croissants with ham please". The voice from the intercom said no eggs? Husband said yes, we want the croissant with ham,egg, and everything else that comes with it. She then repeated it back to us WRONG. Husband corrected her again. (This time she had an attitude). WTF? she made the mistake! Finally, after back and forth with the voice with the "tude", we made it to the window to pay, get order. Honestly, she looked like a homeless person that just wandered in and was given a uniform. She was a sloppy older(60-65+) white woman. She was very unpleasant and looked pissed at the world. We grabbed our bag and got on the interstate. Dammit if the croissant had ONLY ham on it! And double dammit my receipt shows "crois H/E/C !!" The order was right, the fulfillment was wrong! I immediately called the restaurant and told the woman about the mistake. She argued with me telling me that is what we ordered! When I tried to tell her she was wrong from the beginning, she raised her voice, said she was right and then said have a nice day and slammed the phone down! No sorry, no come back we can fix it, she was right and we were wrong! On our way back home that afternoon, about 3:30 pm, we stopped by to get her name and the phone number of a corporate office. She(same woman from morning) refused to give her name, said she was the manager and for us to call 1 800-BURGERKING to complain. There is no such number. She basically blew us off again! In fact, I cant find any number to report this kind of service and rude employee. We will no longer be stopping at Burger King. McDonalds is one minute away, and they are always friendly, smiling and happy to have customers-and a job! If the kitchen of this place is as disgusting and nasty as the manager is...the very thought sickens me. Avoid this place! I see many other 1 star reviews of this place. I am sure this is the same woman that everyone is complaining about. BK needs to do something about her! She should NOT be working with the public!

So when I spotted subway I took a chance. The veggies were fresh and the salad was good. I only wish they would have chopped it instead of just putting it all in the bowl. As we all know plastic cutlery is no match for spinach and other greenery!! So, I can't rate the sandwich, but I will return for the only salad available within 5 miles. Iowa is a nice, friendly town- lots of fast food choices and local Cajun spots, but not salad friendly.

Some of the amenities are shared with Love's, including the restrooms and WiFi. The WiFi is not free, and is only complementary if you have enough points in a program geared towards truck drivers. The parking lot can be crowded as travelers are coming and going. Being a truck stop location means that one of the objectives of this Hardee's location is for patrons to quickly get their food, eat, and get back on the road. I believe they have met their objectives with fast and friendly service. I ordered a quarter pounder Thickburger meal with an additional Double Cheeseburger. My order came out in less than 5 minutes and was what I expected. Self service drinks (they serve Coca Cola products) and a clean dining area. Overall a good place to stop for a quick bite and to stretch during your travels along the Interstate!

It's just like kind of your typical drive-in with young people working who are all very nice and eager to help. With the help of the cashier, we got the bacon cheeseburger, the sweet potato fries, and the ham and cheese, which was recommended by someone else we had met earlier. I gotta say the burger was very respectable and I do definitely recommend it. No issues with small portions here it was well sized and appropriate. The sweet potato fries were very good as well. The ham and cheese wasn't as phenomenal as I was told it would be, it's like a warm sub with tomatoes and lettuce inside, but it was still pretty solid and if your ham and cheese person, then you would definitely like it. They have a lot of shakes flavors and an assortment of other burgers and sandwiches. If I lived in this area, I would definitely go back here.
