Suggestions are shrimp dishes, gumbo, crawfish, & sandwiches. Over half the customers are locals & regulars. As other local eateries decline, Rice Palace improves. Rear (North side) parking is easiest & offers some shade. Auto fuel at West side entry, truck services on North plaza. Do try this restaurant.

Here today! Myself…read moreand 3 of my coworkers was on our way to Florida, 2 were truck drivers. For anyone that doesn't know, truck drivers and bus drivers know the best places to eat. I had no suggestions, all I knew was I knew of the best place to get some boudin balls. Picture the 4 of us hungry hippos talking over each other wanting what we want and all claiming we knew the best place to get the best of what we craved. I cleared the least hours so when it came to driving, NOT me but I totally forgot we were passing through Louisiana so I acted exhausted and chose the rear of the van so count me out the equation hahaha. The rule of thumb is the driver gets the final say on where we stop to eat and he CLAIMED the place he knew had great food including boudin balls (I'm in the rear flipping through my Yelp reviews searching for the place I was insisted on stopping at). Ok so we pull up to this deserted hole in the wall (see picture) parking lot irritated voicing my disappointment and so did the other 2 except the driver who was reassuring us the food was DA BEST, he raved on and on about their food was life changing. We walk in and the place and it's DESERTED, but I did see a couple eating boudin balls so ok fine. Our waitress took our drink order, I wanted an Arnold Palmer and she explained their tea wasn't sweet because majority of their customers were seniors. As we're looking over the menu the driver wasn't, he still insisting the food was da chiii and already knew what he wanted, I'm looking for BOUDIN BALLS hangry (hungry/angry) coworker 3 saying we needed to go elsewhere, coworker 4 asking is the food even Cajun and do they have seasoning she could add. As we're ordering I asked WHERE ARE THE DANG boudin balls, she say they don't have them and what I saw the couple had was fried mushrooms balls. The driver who chose the restaurant was conveniently in the restroom! We all order and waited impatiently for our meals still complaining and small talking. Our meals arrive and the 3 of us looking at our plates like toddlers deciding if we was going to eat what we was given, the waitress said it's a lot she knows. Naw lady, this a hole in the and inflation too high to waste on food we won't like, this Louisiana and we know there's better in this State. WE took our first bites in unison and said DAMN looks are deceiving! THEEE flavor was there! Each of us started raving about what we ordered and offering each other a taste of Louisiana cooking! The portions were enough to take with us since we would be arriving in Florida late and had to clear 8 hrs before we took over our buses. We was so satisfied with the portions of out left overs that we didn't need to spend anymore money, we want to sleep the rest of the ride. WE highly recommend Rice Palace if you want to try a different restaurant in Louisiana, or a budget because eating on a road trip isn't as affordable anymore we have to be cost conscious. Here today! Yup will be back tomorrow!

Asked about the food and how long they've been around. 17 years of learning the cuisine has certainly paid off! On the menu it says "Homemade Potato Salad" as one of the sides. It was some of the best I've had in my 59 years! Got a six inch 1/2 shrimp..1/2 oyster poboy and a 6 inch roast beef and gravy poboy dressed appropriately. Unreal! Correct bread, stuffed with proteins, etc. I will be back next trip to Lafayette.

One major CAVEAT: If you want the plate lunch "special", go EARLY ! They do run-out regularly. Some items can be very spicy; if this is an issue for you, ask up-front. We just love this place !

I came…read morehere three times in four days, and each visit reminded me why good food and good people make the best combination. The first time, I ordered the barbecue ribs served over rice dressing, and they were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. On my second visit, I tried the smothered okra, which came with a whole quarter piece of chicken and sausage over rice--comfort food at its finest. For my last visit, I couldn't resist the ribs again, this time paired with yams, coleslaw, and pork stew. Every dish tasted like it was made with love right in someone's home kitchen. The staff is kind and welcoming, and even though there's usually a line if you arrive later in the day, it moves quickly. They're only open a few days a week from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so plan ahead for lunch or an early dinner. The menu changes daily, but there's always a reliable grill menu to choose from. Inside, the setting is casual and relaxed--just what you'd want while enjoying a plate of real Louisiana soul food

I think they need a new recipe for the cornbread dressing and the macaroni and cheese. These two items were extremely lackluster and not good at all. Now, the ribs, candied yams and the roast pork were great and delish but those other sides need some help. The cornbread dressing was dark brown teetering on black in color, which I've never seen in my life. And the macaroni was just that with little to no cheese. The atmosphere is also very inviting and comfortable to sit and dine in. I meant I would return and try other options because the lady at the register was super sweet and kind but in all honesty, those two sides need a recipe overhaul.

We ordered fried oysters with fries, grilled catfish with salad with ranch dressing, and onion rings. It took 30 minutes to get any food. We got there around 12:20 so we were way after the lunch rush. I didn't get any salad dressing but Maddie came back and asked what kind I wanted. Within 10 minutes she brought us our check, let us know she was leaving and gave us the name of who would take care of us. No offer to get us anything else. Glad we weren't wanting any ice cream or a shake, because apparently we were not going to get offered that either. Maybe it was an off day. The food was good though, I think, because I was so hungry when it came that I pretty much inhaled it. You know how when you go to a fast food restaurant they have trash receptacles on the dining room floor? They have that here too. And unfortunately, we sat down next to one. If I'm able to post a photo, you can take a peek.
