Awww Billy's Boudin! The reason I stop on trips to Opelousas! The reason my mouth craves pepper-jack stuffed boudin balls, cracklins and smoked boudin links. Right off the highway in an unassuming old gas station is some of the best boudin in Louisiana! Walk in right up to the counter and tell em how much you want. The service is fast and the boudin is spicy, full of meat and fresh. I will always stop in whenever I get a chance!

Found this gem on YELP after taking a wrong turn. They're working on a bigger building, but the tiny heat lamp counter in the gas station contains pure cajun heaven. The pepperjeck stuffed Boudin balls are the perfect combination of deep fried crispy outside, spicy sausage, and gooey cheesy goodness. Boudin pepperjack roll ups were super flavorful as well. Crawfish pie had airy, flakey crust, but the filling wasn't my preference. Must be an acquired taste. Highly Recommend!!!

IT MAY LOOK AN EXCISED NUTRIA BRAIN but the jalapeño cream cheese  stuffed and very spicy boudin ball at Billys is among our best!

IT MAY LOOK LIKE AN EXCISED NUTRIA BRAIN ...but, If you want some of the tastiest, beefiest, cream cheesiest, and spicy-hot boudin balls in Cajun-Country do a uey to Billy's, from east bound Airline Highway at Krotz Springs across form the Exxon. One huge ball is almost a meal in itself and just $1.99! IT'S THE MINI MART NOT THE DINER!!! And heed the large "don't block the pumps signs " even though there aren't gas pumps at Billy's anymore.

Look for the sign!

Wow! This place was a true find. Thanks Yelp community for getting this place on the map. Don't be put off by the fact that this place is in the back of gas station. The place has been around a while, but the place is clean and the fried food can't be beat. We ordered a small bag of cracklin, just enough for a small snack, and man, was it delicious. Ordered the fried corn and threw a little Tony cacheres on it ---fried magic. My favorite was the chicken pistolette (fried, of course) and the boudin balls were definitely the biggest on the block ---maybe in Louisiana. Go with an appetite because this place will knock your Cajun socks off.

The number one spot for boudin! Hands down! The links and the pepper jack wraps are must haves!

Billy's Diner.... Best boudin I've tasted ever!

This has got to be the most amazing place to get HUGE boudin balls. They are delicious. My friend told me about this place so the 1st chance I got, I had my husband to stop there so I could try them. So not disappointed! Awesome food! Dallas, Texas

3 pepper jack boudin balls!

We tried the cracklins and the boudin balls, pepper jack filled. The cracklins were so/so. I think maybe they'd been under the heating lamp too long. One of the several I tried was amazing, but the rest were dried out and hard to chew. However, the boudin balls were AMAZING!!! OMG were those things tasty! Next time we are down visiting family we will definitely stop in.

My favorite was the Boudin Pepperjack Ball!

Loved the Boudin, Regular Boudin Ball and Boudin pepper jack Taco. But my favorite was the Pepperjack Boudin ball with a cheese filling! The gas station has all the Boudin but there is a connected restaurant on the right side. Didn't eat there but looked good.

Stopping here because my brother in law says this is the spot for some boudin and other Cajun stuff. First time having boudin balls and they are delicious. Make sure you know what you want because the line can get long quick. Was our first time and people didn't look too happy because of our delay trying to figure out what to get. Also picked up some frozen boudin to have at home. Good prices as well.

Billy's To Go box!

Date Night Chronicles: We just drove an hour to try Billy's Homemade Boudin & Cracklings. We got a box full of the pepper jack cheese boudin balls which are amazinggggggg with a capital G! The boudin wraps are always crispy, fresh and seasoned oh so well. Billy did that.. This is one hole in the wall gas station that is worth a holler. #billy'sboudin #boudin #cracklings #louisiana #louisianafood #gastationfood #yelp #yelplife #yelpelite #yelpbrla #foodporn #foodie #foodstagram #foodgasm #southernfood #instasnack

Don't go through Krotz Springs without stopping at Kartchner's Grocery and Specialty Meats. It's a…read morebrown wooden Cajun store on the south side of Highway 190 -- on your right going east, your left going west. Why am I being so specific about the location? Because I don't want you to miss this little gem. Sure, you can find similar food along I-10 just about anywhere in Louisiana. So what makes this place stand out? The employees -- and some long-forgotten items you never thought you'd see again. Cracklins, pork AND chicken. Yes, I said chicken cracklins. A variety of boudin balls. And don't skip on what's in the frozen and refrigerated section either. Stop by if you can, and bring an ice chest. Oh, and please follow the speed limit! If you didn't get caught in Port Barre, you will definitely get caught in Krotz

With that being said, we live in Houston but had a cooler and ice packs with us so we took a chance and stocked up on some of their stuffed catfish and stuffed chicken breasts. We were able to keep it frozen until we arrived home. So far, everything we brought home that has been consumed has been delicious. Really good flavors in both the fish and chicken. We will definitely be back as we travel home through Louisiana. Bon appétit, y'all.
