It's about a 5-6 minute drive from I-10 on 2 lane country roads. On the way you drive right past another well known and popular restaurant called Poche's (a good place to eat too) but keep going for about 1 more minute. Glenda's Creole Kitchen is on the side of the road in an old small house. Don't worry you'll see it because there's a sign out front. Pull into the little parking area under the trees and go in. There you'll enter a small dining room/steam table area and you'll see Ms. Glenda usually with one or two helpers. She usually offers 3-4 meats and about the same number of vegetables to offer all on the same plate. Drink options are tea, lemonade and I think they offer canned soft drinks. Sit down at one of the tables and dig in. You'll remember this meal as the one that made you smile while eating it. Last week I was able to visit for the first time in about 3 years as I don't pass through here as often as in the past. I got their last stuffed Turkey wing so they added a smothered pork chop to make up for the other missing wing. I chose corn and smothered potatoes for the sides and with some homemade lemonade and tax it was $14 even. Like as in past visits, I felt happiness and content eating the food on my plate. The meats were so tender and flavorful along with the veggies being tasty too. The smothered potatoes had a little kick to them that surprised me. While it was different, I liked it. Finally the wing and chop sat on a bed of white rice and the gravy from the meats. South Louisiana is rice country and true Cajun chefs like Ms. Glenda know how important great rice and gravy is. Honestly, I would be happy with a meal of just her rice and gravy. Man, that was some fine eating! This is the definition of the term "comfort food". Yes, it's a hole in the wall type of restaurant but the food is the real star here. They have a drive thru window because many of the locals come to get their food to go and drive back to their own homes to eat it. Those out-of-towners that are lucky enough to be in the know (like me and now you) come here too. Pay attention to their hours as they are only open for lunch and the dining room closes at 1 pm where the drive thru closes at 2 pm. Call their telephone number to get the recorded info on that days menu. I've been coming here for over 10 years now. Don't be fooled by the low number of Yelp reviews for this restaurant as I don't believe there are many Yelpers in Breaux Bridge, LA. Do believe the current 4.5 star average. Eating at restaurants like this are like stepping back in time to a world that doesn't exist much more so get off the interstate and drive 6 minutes to get here and slow your life down and relax for a few minutes and have a delicious lunch.

So glad we stopped here for lunch - we were wanting authentic Cajun home cooking, and it was so so good! We saw Anthony Bourdain had featured Glenda's Kitchen in 2011 for the Cajun Country episode and we understand why he picked this restaurant. It is a "hole in the wall" type of place, but we wanted authentic! We had very flavorful, seasoned rice and gravy brisket and pork with sides. Miss Glenda sat and talked with us for awhile and she is the real deal. They are open everyday - dine in until 1 pm and drive thru until 2 pm. You can call ahead an order in case they run out of something you really want. Definitely will be back!!

I'm going to play class selection wasn't to my liking. So I ended up picking up some apple bread pudding. One serving came with rum sauce and the other serving came with a caramel sauce. These were pretty good I would most definitely purchase the bread pudding again. The caramel and rum sauce were absolutely delicious.

Local Louisiana creole w/ a daily special. Took care of us and our family. Glenda was nice to talk with as well. We love it!

Roast over rice and gravy with flavorful cabbage and mashed potatoe. 5/5

My in-law and I found this wonderful family gem of a place for some comfort foods. Best places to be. Even though its a small spot, we love every bit of it. Everyone was friendly and the foods are delish. Don't get this pregnant girl started on the cakes and cookies. It was PERFECT. It was just the right amount of sweet. Next time we in town we gotta order the whole cake. Definitely coming back to Ms. Glenda. FYI... Everyday is different but definitely do try to come on Friday for crawfish.

Also deep in the back woods of Beaux Bridge, Glenda's Creole Kitchen is becoming another Acadiana institution. Made famous by her appearance on Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, Glenda is cajun thru and thru. Good food even better people and a great spot to sit and chat with locals. Call ahead and order her signature dish the Stuffed Turkey Wings. I got there too late to get them thus the 3 star rating. The rest of the food is OK but the wings I hear are worth making the track off beaten path.

Thanks so much to Anthony Bourdian and The Travel Channel for finding this place or I would have never taste real Creole cooking. It is a out of the way to get to but it is so worth the drive. I ordered the smothered Pork Steak rice, green beans, and Cajun Potato salad. Love it all but can't believe I'm saying this but the Cajun Potato Salad was the stand out. With a perfect punch of both spicy and sweat from any Potato salad. A step up to what I was brought up with. And need to add their Strawberry Lemonade is so good please don't order sodas here, get their tea, Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade when eating Glenda's Creole Cajun Cooking. The staff are so friendly and takes the time to explain each daily entree. This is a real cooking and talk about homely, Glenda's doesn't get more homely than here. Good 9/10 Service 10/10

Lots of meatloaf!

First time here, was on my way from east to west with I10, stopped by the beaux area to gas up & found this place on yelp. I arrived on saturday so I missed the stuffed turkey wings. But the portion of food is huge, I ate til full for lunch and still have enough leftover for dinner. Staffs are very friendly and nice, if you drive thru after 12 or its a bad raining day, they will kindly throw in extra meats for you. Had meatloaf combo (only thing avail on saturday beside the regular all-week stuffs). I know nothing abt creole style or louisiana style food so I'll just give review based on my taste buds. Best corn I've ever had, tasty meatloaf, rice and beans is nice too, just a bit greasy, everything had a decent spicy kick to it. 10$ for combo + a soda, not bad at all, I'll definately stop by next time I'm around to try their cajun dishes.

Yum yum yum and homemade everything is. It's worth coming here for lunch everyday if I didn't live so far...

We did get there very early talking before 10am they were so sweet and amazing still letting us order what was available and answering any and many questions we had regarding food options. Service was 5 out of 5 for our first moment in LA everyone was so kind and made our journey so worth it. We got the crawfish fettuccine with the Crawfish dressing and regular rice and an amazing biscuit. (Honestly I could order a dozen just for the road back) All the food was a 10 out of 5 and so sad I don't live closer as I know I will be dreaming of this food for the rest of my life! They have other food there like a grocery store and really thinking of going back just to buy some for the freezer for when I miss it most. And always like to take a moment to talk about the restrooms and when going to places like that I don't expect the nicest bathroom but they shocked the mess out of me. By far the best restrooms. If there is a way to give a place more then 5 I would give them 10 out of 5 over all!!! Will be coming back!

When on a road trip, friends and I always tend to stop by Chicken on the Bayou & Boudin Shop…read more It's a simple spot to stop in on if you want to either pick up some sustenance while on the road. Ambiance: 3/5 Parking is in front and next to the gas station. Once inside, there's table seating inside with ordering done at the front Restrooms could use an upgrade, but help get the job done. Food: 5/5 I looked over the menu and decided to try the Bayou Sampler. Comes with 2PC chicken (your choice dark or white meat or for extra cost can get mixed), red beans & rice, boudin link & biscuit. All had good flavor, except the biscuit, it was ok. Chicken wasn't greasy but moist with flavor. Red beans also very tasty and boudin link just as good. Service: 5/5 The counter server was friendly and so were the cooks, while it did take a while to get my food, it's cooked to order so that's understandable. Once I got my food, I wanted to take a photo and realized that my order was missing the chicken. Thankfully I had not left before checking it (rule of thumb for any to go order, check your food) The counter server was quick to speak to the kitchen and they brought out my full plate in short time.

Every time I fly home, I go to Charlie Ts! Best boudin in the world!…read more I might live in California, but I was born and raised in Breaux Bridge. I've been eating this boudin since I was a kid. The quality and flavor haven't been compromised over the years at all! Each time I come back home, there seems to be another new boudin spot to try, with fancy fillings and a mascot/logo similar to Charlie Ts, but no matter how many I try, Charlie Ts always takes the number one spot! Their formula is just SPOT ON! The service is always great, although I do miss seeing Mr. Charlie in the store. There's nothing like seeing the man who fixed your boudin as a kid still doing the thing he loves! I'm happy for his retirement, but he is forever a part of my childhood! The store is very clean every time I visit, and there's ample parking out front. You will get more options the earlier you go. Trust me, everybody knows Charlie's is the best, so you don't want to wait until the afternoon when there are only a couple boudin balls left. Go early. I personally prefer their classic links and the regular pork boudin balls. The formula is perfect and doesn't really need the bells and whistles, to be honest, but if you prefer a party in your mouth, try the pepperjack cheese or even the spinach and cheese eggroll! They will not disappoint! And I can't forget, their cracklin is the BOMB! If I visit Breaux Bridge and don't bring back some cracklin to my mom in California, she gets cranky! Lol. I also appreciate the frozen options! I was able to fly some frozen boudin home and share with friends who'd never had boudin before. They loved it, and I'm glad I got to introduce them to the BEST :)
