    "Pig iron" cheeseburger on specials board
    Maria F.

    I love local diners. We had to stop for gas and to check out Chateaux Gator in Jennings. Purposefully avoided the many chains and fast food joints nearby and found this gem. Unassuming and no frills. The dining area and tables were very clean. Mainly locals eating here which we took as a good sign. Excellent wait staff. Our meals were really good with plentiful servings. And you can't beat the price. Our 4 meals without tip wasn't much more than we'd spend at a fast food joint. The menu was quite diverse, too.

    Fast, cheap, and good--here, you CAN get all 3! Whenever I'm in town for business, we end up eating lunch here 3 times a week. It's not that there are no other options. There are. It's just that the value can not be beat! The daily plate lunches are great tasting, and come with an unadvertised complimentary dessert (usually a small cake square). It is housed in an old gas station, so the parking situation out front can be chaotic. Park on the gravel and you'll have no problems.

    I found this place on a Maps search looking for highway food. Babineaux's was closing but stayed open long enough to prep a to-go order for us of a fried shrimp poboy, fried catfish, grilled cheese, and onion rings. My son's grilled cheese and fries were $3 in his kids meal, the hot poboy was fresh and tasty with a good value for price. The onion rings were hot and crunchy, with an excellent flavor. But it was my grilled catfish, with its huge portion and falling-apart tenderness, that was the cherry on top. EXCELLENT fish made me wish I lived in Jennings just to enjoy this meal every day. Staff had our to go order sitting at the drive through window for us in the 10 minutes it took us to arrive and was friendly. We will definitely be back to Babineaux's next time we're on I-10 in Jennings!

    Excellent local flavor. Service is fast and friendly. Susan explained each dish. I had meatball stew over rice and purple hulls. Mike had a tilapia PO Boy. Great prices for a great local flavor

We ordered waters very quickly, but when it came to food ordering it took quite a while to the point we had to ask for someone to get our waitress. Overall the food was solid, but nothing to write home about.(I'm from breaux bridge by the way, but live in Houston) I ordered the grits and grillade, my fiancee ordered the boudin burrito, and my dad ordered the grits bowl with eggs and bacon. Dad said the grits bowl was solid. He goes there often by the way. Fiancee said that the burrito was just ok. I did taste the burrito and it left some to be desired. When I think about boudin, there's a kick to it. Really, when I think about home in south Louisiana there's a particular burst of flavor that comes to mind. The grits and grillade was good. Again, could have more pop to the flavor of it. Great mixture though of the grits and roast. Overall, a cozy place to get a bite to eat. The food is solid and the place deserves 4 stars. Could kick up the flavor a notch, but I wouldnt say I walked away saying this wasnt worth it. Ps. The biscuit was very soft. Very good biscuit.

    Great breakfast spot in the sweet little town of Breaux Bridge. The boudin breakfast burrito was…read morefantastic and live music on Sunday was a nice surprise. A perfect end to a Acadiana weekend.

The crabs legs were cold ( but you could see the steam coming up from under the pans) the boiled shrimp were cold as well and you couldn't peel them without pulling the meat.was stuck to the shell. Overcooked. We were eating for awhile wondering where are our drinks. The male waiter that brought our drinks put the drinks down walk away, didn't ask if we needed anything.

After my dining guest and I were seated, it took more than 30 minutes for us to even receive our food after placing our order. During this time, our waitress did NOT advise us the reason for the delay. I ordered the fried shrimp, fries, and hushpuppies. The food was OK; I've had much better. However, my friend had the grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, and peas and carrots. The chicken was EXTREMELY dry and the peas and carrots looked as though they'd been reheated or had come out of a can; both vegetables were both very dull in color. The only thing my friend ate were the mashed potatoes which were mediocre at best. Because of the aforementioned with my friend, the manager did remove the cost of her meal from the ticket. We also had raspberry lemonade and it was more like PINK lemonade. The customer service is severely lacking as well as the quality and appearance of their food and beverages. Please get it together!

You've been driving so long you're not even sure what state you are in, or what day it is, bless your heart. But hang in there, drive about a mile from the exit, hang a left and a right (let Waze guide you) and find your way to 1118 State. You'll swear you've stepped back in time, and that you're on old rt 66. Park yourself and walk up to the window. The locals will be lined up, and they don't mind if you furriners ain't from around these parts. The friendly ladies will greet you, call you sugar and baby, whip you up a milkshake and a cheeseburger dee-luxe in no time flat. No one's asking how you want it cooked - they cook it the way they have been cooking it forever - and it'll be pretty darn near the most perfect cheeseburger you can remember having. The milkshakes are, well, they should be mandatory. Point being, get one. They are rich and thick and made with real ice cream (of course). Don't come here looking for a salad, but they do have grilled cheese, fries, fried mushrooms and a few other non-meat options for you fat vegetarians. Everything here is so relaxin and tasty that you might have almost forgotten that you have to pee. There _is_ a bathroom here but this furriner recommends you hold it just a lick longer unless you're super into roughing it. Maybe stop at the McD's or BK on the way back to I-10 to take care of that bidness, bless your heart.

    1) this place is NOT a drive-in. It used to be a long time ago…read more 2) outside seating only...and the picnic tables are filthy and decaying. The staff clearly NEVER bother to wipe them off. Birds and stray cats are assigned that duty. 3) the food is NOT fresh. This is a fast food burger joint and everything is clearly kept in the freezer. 4) not a stop for anyone who cares about what they put in their body. Aside from the poor food options, the ice cream and drinks are all filled with fake ingredients. 5) The staff is friendly, but the service is gawd-awful S-L-O-W.... Gas stations on the interstate have MUCH better offerings....
