    Was on our way from New Orleans to Baton Rouge and spotted this spot and decided to try it and so glad we did. We didn't have reservations but was able to be sat right away around 1pm on a Saturday. Our server was very helpful, and offered suggestions since it was our first time. We actually took her recommendations which was the chicken and waffles. She was right, they were very good and I'm not a huge chicken and waffle fan. As I looked around I was watching the food others were ordering and honestly everything looked amazing. It is a very busy place, with tv's and people just having a good time. I good place to bring your family, or just come on a date night. Wish there was one in my city!

    Seafood Salad

    We just love this place for crawfish! The bar service is so fun. Our favorite bartenders are Gabby and Brittany. Donnie the GM is very friendly and always says hello to us when he sees us at the bar. The jacked up oysters are consistently great. My new favorite is the Seafood salad with lump crabmeat, shrimp and crawfish. So fresh and also very consistently great. My husband says the crawfish is the best in this area!

    JACKED UP SHRIMP

    Normally, I go to the Don's in Gonzales but this location was very nice! The food was very good as always! The service was amazing! My friend and I started off with the jackup shrimp and it was very cheesy and seasoned well. It had a little kick to it but it wasn't bad at all. I had the stuffed catfish and it was very good! Very flavorful! I also had a frozen strawberry margarita (my go to) and it was good as well. The green beans were also very good, they had a little sweet flavor to them. The garlic mash potatoes were good as well. The ambiance of this place was a little different compared to the one in Gonzales. The only thing I didn't like about this place is that it was very dark in the restaurant. Other than that everything was 10/10.

    Crawfish delicious

    Fish tacos (the spicy ones)

    It was our first time there and it was fabulous. Paige was our waitress and she took amazing care of us. I have a severe food allergy and she went to the kitchen to make certain that nothing of my food would go anywhere near what I'm allergic to. She also noticed when my husband's drink was empty and replaced it before my husband even had a chance to ask for anymore. She was extremely attentive! We had a shrimp appetizer that was amazing. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the blackened red fish along with some crawfish and he was so happy. The food was delicious, the restaurant was attractive and clean. All of the people were nice. We will go back

    I passed by Don's this weekend and made a note to come here for lunch. Unlike a lot of places they open at 10 am, W00H00! They have a brunch menu on weekends. I've always loved Don's but this is my first time at this location. I love the openness feeling walking into the dining room even though they have sectioned it off somewhat it still gives you a sense of spaciousness. I ordered the 1/2 Shrimp and 1/2 Étouffée (that's crawfish). It came with two small Hushpuppies as well. My meal was excellent, outstanding, superb; in other words it was really good eating. The shrimp tasted so good you don't dare doctor them up cocktail or tartar sauce. The Étouffée had plenty of ingredients making every spoonful delicious. I ordered the Cheesecake with Strawberry topping. Wow that first bite of the cheesecake was so creamy that I literally went, "Mmmm" out loud. The strawberries were fresh and real, not frozen or from a can; you can just tell, you know? Service was outstanding from the initial greet & seat and throughout the entire meal. No delays at any point and always available.

As a child growing up in New Orleans I remember by grandfather from New Iberia coming to visit frequently. I have a lot of fond memories from his visits, but one of the things I remember is applicable to this review. Whenever he would arrive he would have several gifts for the family. I'm not talking about traditional gifts either. He would bring several packs of boudin and hogs head cheese from a local New Iberia shop. That must have had a lasting effect, because since then, I am on a never ending quest for good boudin and head cheese. I was on such a quest just the other day when I noticed Boudreaux's. The moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. There were coolers filled with stuffed chickens, roasts, pork loins, gumbo, étouffée and all other sorts of Cajun delights. In the fresh counter is where I focused my attention and will elaborate on a few items. Boudin - fresh, homemade and with the perfect combination of meat and rice. It had a slight kick, but not to overwhelming. Stuffed chicken thighs - stuffed with jalapeño cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. $375 for around 30 minutes covered and 20 uncovered. Oh my goodness gracious was this delicious. Even if you don't normally like thighs, I strongly recommend this item. Smoked boudin - I don't remember smoked boudin when I was growing up, but what a great idea. Boudreaux's version was perfect. Smoked sausage with pepper jack cheese - whatever you do, but some of this sausage. The sausage is made and smoked in house and this is, without a doubt, the best smoked sausage I've ever had. I don't know how it hod hold up in gumbo or some other dish, but it is amazing on its own. The people working behind the counter were friendly and very helpful. If you're like me and miss the Cajun butcher shops of Acadiana, I recommend you take a trip to Boudreaux's.

I was glad I found this spot on yelp, and I was more than happy to try it out. They have plenty of food to choose from, and it is kinda hard if you don't really know what to get. So I played it save with the smoked chicken thighs, and tried out the boudin sandwich. The chicken seemed thigh was so cheap I didn't believe it, for a pice that by itself filled me up. The Boudin sandwich was a good meal also by itself, you got to eat it fast though. I took my time, and it became a bit too soggy. I loved the experience though. The store looks like a big meat market, not too fancy, but this is a place to get your meat, and not for a romantic date. Maybe you do, when you're from Louisiana. j/k
