In Scott, the boudin competition is in full force. Within a couple blocks, you can find an…read moreimpressive concentration of Cajun specialty food stores. Don's has the classic gas station setup, a ready to eat counter with BBQ and Cajun options, snack aisles, and fridge full of Cajun specialties. We ordered cracklings, boudin balls and crawfish pie. The boudin balls were the stand out. The cracklings were fresh and crunchy, but the seasoning is underwhelming. The crawfish pie missed the mark completely, not much crawfish, very doughy and the seasoning was pretty bland. Compared to the undisputed champion (looking at you, Billy's) with huge lines 24/7, Don's is a good option if you're willing to trade some of the quality with the convenience of no wait time.

If there is a huge line at another boudin or crackling spot, Don's can usually deliver a comparable…read morelevel of Cajun foods at a much shorter wait in the line. They have ready made plate meals, a gas station feel drink option, and the cooked boudin balls, egg rolls, cracklings, etc that are offered by Billy's or Best Stop. Pretty decent and it's a good option if you don't want to wait 30 minutes in line at Billy's.

Absolutely love their cracklins and boudin balls. Hands down, the best…read more We ALWAYS stop by this location to pick up some cracklins and boudin balls on our way into Opelousas and out. Our favorites are the pork cracklins. Perfect amount of spices and never dry. I love my cracklins to have a little bit of that warm juice fat when you bite into it. They also carry chicken cracklins. I'm not a fan. It's too soft for me. Their crawfish and pepper jack boudin balls are the best. They're not greasy at all. You know it's good when you eat them at room temperature and they're still delicious.

If you are coming to Louisiana you have to go to Poche's! I'm so glad we didn't miss out on this…read moregem! 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!

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 :)

To me, this is the tastiest boudin in all of Louisiana. The balance of meat to pulverized rice is…read moreperfect, but it is the deft spicing that puts their link in another galaxy. It is a bright, complex flavor that is a satisfying whole, each bite a joy. That is for their regular boudin - - but they also have smoked, boudin, a nah cheaux (nacho) boudin, a ghost pepper boudin, a pepper jack cheese boudin - - the full range of their meats and sausages in their meat case is staggering. Fantastic butcher, great place - - though so out of the way it misses the I-10 tourist parade. Giant array of spice mixes available for sale too. Worth any kind of pretty detour, often along some real pretty highway.

We got the 8-piece dark meat chicken only, plus a biscuit and a medium rice dressing, and it was a lot of food for two people. The chicken was super juicy with a little kick of spice, crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. The biscuit was bigger than your average biscuit--soft, buttery, and really good. The rice dressing could use a little more flavor. It reminded me of Popeyes, but with its own unique touch. Definitely worth a visit!

The corn nuggets were definitely the highlight; they were really good. My Coke was a little flat, and the fried Oreos were disappointing. They honestly tasted like I was biting into paper, so they weren't worth the money. Everyone has an off day. I'm not writing them off, and I'll definitely give them another chance. Hopefully my next visit is a much better experience. The worker at the counter (can't remember her name) was friendly, respectful, and provided great customer service. They were welcoming and made the experience pleasant despite the issues with the food.
