I found this place by accident while looking for things to do in the area on google earth and had to pay it a visit. Its an unassuming building on the side of the road with a bumpy parking lot. Inside its like a little country store with various pickles, spices and cooking supplies. But we arnt here for that we are herte for the crackling and it did not diappoint. Big fat chunks of fried pork with attached fat, of so good. We ended up getting $7 dollward worth - its all weighed out so you can get as much or as little as you want, boudin balls and a hot link. All was delicious and hot. I recomend a visit there for the food but also the lady working in there was hilarious and we had a great chat. Only reason not to give it 5 is that the pork crackling was kind of expensive but honestly still well worth it read more

Tried the cracklings and they did not disappoint! Perfectly crispy, full of flavor, and just the right amount of seasoning. Whether you're snacking or adding them to a dish, these are a must-have for any crunch lover! read more

Great cracklins!! My husband was in heaven! We pass this place on our way to and from the casino. We decided to stop. Kicking ourselves for not trying this place out sooner. We will be back. read more

Oh my word! You must stop here for a pound of cracklins and boudin balls! We are from Texas and this was delicious!

For starters, they didn't have hardly anything I wanted, and it was not even lunchtime. Second, the Boudin balls were so salty and drenched in seasoning you couldn't eat it. Third, the Cracklins were like they've been sitting out for three or four days. They were not hot or fresh, and rockhard. And to really top it all off the lady taking my order, seemed like she couldn't have given any more f**ks. Definitely will not be back and I forewarn people traveling through to go to the casinos. If I could give no stars, I would. read more

Drove out this way to go to the casino. On the way saw this little shack that said it had Cracklin and Boudin. So, I got excited to try it out. On the way back we drove up through the drive-through and waited for about 10 minutes. It was an older lady and an older man working so we figured we would be patient. However, when we did place our order we had to tell the man many many times. We put an order for one pepper jack Boudin ball, one regular Boudin ball, one smoked link of Boudin, and some Cracklin. The Boudin Ball was pretty good, a bit spicy but not too much to burn your mouth or tummy. However they forgot our regular Boudin ball and we paid $16.07. Definitely way too expensive for one Boudin ball, a link and some crackling. The crackling was nasty could not even chew it was messing with my teeth. And on top of that I'm very upset because I am missing a Boudin ball. I will not be coming back here again. One star only for the pepper jack boudin ball. Waste of money don't step foot. read more

I'm going to leave my review every where to let every one know the disgusting people they have working there Just went here and was called a nappy head bitch by the white lady in the window...She had an attitude from the start with us like we was bothering her...She forgot to put our pepper jack boudin ball in the bag so we backed back up to the window she treated us like we was trying to steal a boudin ball telling us she put 3 things in the bag we let her know she didn't she gone tell us to lift the crackling bag to check under the bag to see if we're lying she fixed a new bag and refused to give it to us until we lifted up the cracklins in the bag and she looked under treating us like we're trying to steal after spending our money here...I told here give us what we paid for we're not trying to steal she called me a nappy headed bitch told me not to come back because she wrong rascist ass people and I will never go back there read more

We got the boudin frozen and some cracklins for the road trip back to Alabama. The crackins were amazing! And we grilled the boudin a few days after we got home, it was amazing as well. I have sense ordered a half gallon of the cracklins and can't wait till they get to me. The seasoning in on point in everything that we tasted in the shop. The service was amazing. This will become a regular stop for us when we are traveling that way. read more

Boudin balls were amazing ! Visiting family from out of state and wanted to start off breakfast with boudin balls. The pepper jack boudin balls are the best ! read more

First, I'll say that while the food isn't as good as it was before the place was renamed Heberts, it's still good food. So, if you pass by before 3 pm, then it's definitely worth a stop. And "before 3 pm" is why I've given it such a low score. I've always felt that a business has to adhere to it's own opening hours. Some people will go out of their way to find out a place is closed when their signs say they should be open. This happened to me today. I got there around 4 pm. While the store was technically opened, the kitchen was closed. I drove 25 miles specifically to get boudin from here and I'm told they have none left because the kitchen closes 4 hours before the store does? What, do they expect to hold food under a heat lamp for 4 hours? Based on the look of the food under those heat lamps, that's exactly what they are doing. That's not only a quality issue, that's a food safety issue. They should be inspected asap. I hope they come to their senses and go back to the way they used to do business, because this used to be an amazing place. I hope the owners rethink how they do things. At the very least, close the store when you close the kitchen. And NEVER serve 4 hour old food, you WILL kill someone! read more

Not all bad boudin comes from Texas. Herbert's in Kinder has overpriced poor quality Boudin. The casings are undercooked, meat stuffing is poorly seasoned and the rice has crunchy undercooked parts. read more

I didn't try the boudin, only cracklins. While they were a tad salty they had great texture and flavor. Girl working up front was quasi pleasant enough. I doubt we will be back this way, but I'd recommend stopping just to look. Great local honey, jams, etc. read more

First time having boudin and cracklings. They were great, rich for my normal diet but I can understand the hype. The flavors and spices were just right. Cute little shack and great people serving us. I will be stopping by if I'm ever in the area again. Get their early for the best and freshest selections. read more

I love the smoked boudin! I've had it all over Louisiana and Hebert's is my favorite. I love the sweet and spicy pickles too. Never had anything bad from any Hebert's location. read more

This place used to be called the Boudin and Cracklin Express. It is now called Hebert's Boudin and Cracklins. It has a sister store in Henderson, LA which also used to be Boudin and Cracklin Express. I am not particularly fond of the boudin. A wee bit too spicy and kind of mushy, lacking texture and consistency. But I could give this place five stars just on the merits of their cracklins. Absolutely the best anywhere I have eaten, and I have eaten at many places. I guess there may be better somewhere... I would like to know. read more

The service, boudin balls and cracklings were excellent. The breading was light and the boudin was not too spicy. The cracklins were tasty and seasoned just right. Thank you for an awesome LA snack from 5 Texans!! read more

Nothing like the boudin I'm used to south of I 10. The boudin here was more like rice dressing, and almost all rice. If I go back, it would be for the selection of cookware and utinsels instead of the food. The cracklings were mixed fresh and stale with about 75% of them being stale. read more

Best spicy boudin balls we ever had. Great selection and a freezer selection as well as cracklins and all excellent. So glad I don't live here or I'd be here every day! read more

Bought a hot boudin link - only thing I ate that day as I got food poisoning. Suffered for several days until it completely flushed from my system. However they are preserving at correct temps isn't working. read more

Just stopping through... headed home, wanted some Cracklins. Five stars! Not too spicy and crispy, definitely recommend!

We drove 35 minutes out of our way to grab some cracklins, we were on schedule to arrive 10 minutes before they closed, but we arrived a little earlier than the gps said and had 15 minutes before they closed. The doors were already locked when we arrived, we saw an elderly man sitting inside and asked if we could come in, he came to the door, turned off the light, and shooed is away. So disappointed and frustrated! Bad business for sure! read more

Cracklins are very delicious. They are seasoned to perfection. I did not try their boudin but my husband did. He said it was very good and spicy. read more

Great smoked boudin. My in-laws love the cracklin. This is a must stop if your from out of state, visiting Coushatta Casino and are wanting some Louisiana staples. This is not a restaurant though, it's a small shop. Great stuff. read more

From a person of real Cajon decent. (Mallet, Fontenot, etc) THIS BOUDIN WAS JUST RIGHT! So good Grandmama even loved it. Don't come to Louisiana and not expect food to be HOT & SPICY baby. If you want watered down food that real Cajon folks won't even eat, go to New York, WV, WI or some where else. I you want food that the locals will eat, THIS IS THE PLACE! read more

The smoked boudin tasted like it was boiled. No flavor just lots of rice. The cracklins were also tasteless. I was terribly disappointed after all the good reviews we had read. I have had much better boudin and cracklins in other areas of Louisiana. read more

Stopped by this place a couple weeks ago. Lady was not very friendly at all. Spent almost $14 on boudin and cracklings. Cracklings were great. I would definitely eat them again. Boudin on the other hand was so disgusting it made my stomach hurt. I absolutely hate to waste food and money but that boudin belonged in the trash so that's where I put it. read more

I have stopped by and bought cracklins a bunch of time from traveln back and forth from offshore but on April the 8 2012 on my way 2 Houston Tx. I bought a pound of the nastyest cracklins I have ever put n my mouth not sure why but they were nasty made my wife sick read more
