Red beans and rice and the crawfish étouffée great! Chicken crackling also. If you want something fresh they will cook it. read more

Chicken cracklings are fire. The boudin though overly expensive was incredible. Really wasn't a fan of the batter on the boudin. Stuffed chicken with cornbread was great on the kettle. read more

I'm glad now I don't have to go to Louisiana to get great Cajun food like boudin, crackling, chicken crackling and boudin balls. The service was fast and pleasant. The place is like a great smelling convenient store when you walk in the doors. The restrooms were remarkably clean also. I will most definitely be making this is monthly if not weekly visit. read more

The ultimate spot for boudin and cracklins! I love The Best Stop--it's not just about the food, but the people and the experience too. It's always special when a place feels like home, especially when you've known the folks behind it for so long. read more

Service Everyone was so friendly, and the staff was quick with orders. The only thing is there was nothing telling where the line started, so customers were a little confused. Food For us to have come around 6pm and they close at 8, the food was fresh. Smoked boudin was great. Roll ups were good and crispy. The chicken cracklin could have used some more seasoning like they do in LA. All in all....EVERYTHING WAS GREAT! We'll be back. Ambience Super inviting. Tons of space to sit down with your family and eat. I accidentally deleted the other menu but they do have pork and chicken cracklin, boudin, and roll ups. read more

The store is clean and has a variety of Cajun food and seasoning. I ordered lunch it was good but not exceptional. I also got pralines they were okay. Will I go again? I know I won't make an effort to drive that far but if I'm in the area which isn't likely I may consider another visit. read more

We've only had the cracklins but have been here a few times. It's delicious every time. Service is quick. The Cajun mayo they have on the side is good too. I prefer the chicken cracklins over the pork but they're both good. If you do plan to come for the cracklins then it's best to come earlier in the day as they may be sold out. I'll do an update when we get to try some of their other things. :) read more

The pepper jack boudin ball was a mushy mess with no pepperjack, the chicken cracklin was just fried skin and no meat, and the pork cracklin was just plain awful. The meat was dry/hard like it had been overcooked or sat too long. I should've known better when I saw that the place was empty. The Louisiana location is always busy, but this location is nothing like it! Save your money! The manager did offer a refund but wouldn't do it over the phone, and I live 45 minutes away. read more

Let's get to the pepper jack boudin balls. It was so good. Crispy on the outside but nice and favorable in the inside. Busting with flavor. I ate one in line waiting for the gumbo. I ended up ordering another it was so good. I wasn't to impressed with the chicken & sausage gumbo...no flavor. However, the service was superb from the order to the cashier and service staff walking around to help. It makes you feel like you're in Louisiana. read more

The Best Stop - Chicken & sausage gumbo and boudin ball. - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

I have been stopping at Best Stop in Louisiana for years since I am from there. Now live in Houston and can go to The Best Stop in Katy Texas. For whatever reason the pork skins taste much fresher from the store in Katy. They are both good but for some reason the Katy store seems like they just came out the fryer. Also Cherri was very helpful and would consider her an asset to the company. read more

Let me start by saying this place has a large variety of Cajun items. Very clean there was no line as we went on a weekday. The staff was very helpful and kind. So we tried almost 1 of each of the ready made fried selections which included boudin balls with and without cheese, chicken skins and crawfish pies. The chicken skins were ok they are definitely different than the traditional cracklin . It tasted as though there was a batter but also reminiscent of a jerky the flavor was not bad though. We did not care for the boudin as it didn't seem solid it was a very wet bit runny texture. The flavor was not bad but it was a bit runny for our taste "this may come down to preference ". We also purchased the packaged smoked boudin you can take home to cook but it had the same texture. I would say give it a try for yourself. read more

Really fun spot! It's half grocery store and restaurant, so you can shop for some pre-seasoned meat after ordering some food. I ordered a po'boy just to try things out and it was pretty tasty! However, the star of the show was the biscuit! read more

Great selection on cooking items I could only find driving to LA. To me they have the best tasting boudin in Texas.

I have been to the Scott, LA location. I did not like red beans and rice before this buttttttt let me tell y'all about how Best Stop made me out of a believer!!! Everything in that dish is cooked and seasoned to perfection. I would say I'm gonna attempt to replicate it at home but I don't wanna disrespect Best Stop like that. But I will make me some cornbread to go with it. I love the sausage they put in it as well. It's so good! Like - FOR REAL! The Katy location is always packed. I heard they're opening several others in the Houston area. Can't wait. read more

Boudin Pepperjack balls, smoked boudin, and chicken cracklin around 11am are what dreams are made of. It is tied with Dons Meat Market for our favorite boudin balls. Sadly, the crawfish boudin was not good and the crawfish etouffee (purchased around 3-4pm) left a lot to be desired for. read more

The Best Stop - Smoked boudin - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

Just get here period. If you are a fan of Cajun cuisine, this is the spot for you. Don't be deterred if you see a line, this place is run like a well oiled machine and the line moves very quickly ( so be ready when you get to the counter). Boudin balls - delish, sorry I did not get more, chicken crackling- fresh and hot out the fire and SEASONED, the pork crackling- I could have skipped but l will know for next time, smoked boudin links- clearly made for the gods and well worth the 45 minute drive for me. They also have the freezer/ refrigerator section with a nice variety of seasoned and stuffed chicken, duck, rabbit, as well as jalapeño and bell peppers... no regrets breaking my diet and picking up some of everything :). Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Stop by, pick up a very satisfying meal to go and get a second one for later.. you will want it. read more

We moved here from Louisiana years ago and really miss the food. Every time we would drive to or through the Lafayette area we would make a stop at Best Stop to stock up on boudin and would get extra boudin, cane syrup for dipping, boudin balls, cracklins and maybe Evangeline Maid bread for our "car food". There's none better than Best Stop! So we are thrilled that we can now get it all in Katy. And even more excited about the upcoming Woodlands location!! Yes, they are more expensive than in La., but my drive is much shorter. My only suggestion/request for the Katy store is that they cut the cracklins into smaller pieces so it cooks up crispier and with less fat in the middle. Otherwise, I sincerely thank them for coming to Texas! read more

Awesome, stop in and get ya some, great boudain, cracklings, the best in town. Always consistent

Oh my goodness. Where do I start. Wondering if any one from The Scott, La location comes for quality control at all?! Nope. Just no. Smoked boudin should not be black in color. There should be a nice smoked casing, not saturated with smoke and mushy. Do these people in Katy even know what good boudin is? Don's please come to Katy! Or Billy's Boudin, please come to Katy Tx. Heck even Market Basket on Nelson Road in Lake Charles please bring boudin to Texas! read more

Newly opened, I am a bit biased because I didn't care for the one in Scott, La, so don't take my words to heart . I stopped in today and as expected they were very busy, hot foods taking a bit long. A customer told me he waited way to long for a Boudin sandwich and felt the place should be larger for the amount of people stopping by. Over time it will settle down. Was given a crackling sample, good, fresh and meaty, but not seasoned enough for me and need spicy. 25$ a pound is a bit much for me. Tasted the boudin balls, for me too mushy. I prefer the dirty rice mix or more rice. All in all give them a try, good luck and Welcome to Katy, Tx . BTW, MSG used in everything, check the ingredients if an issue. read more

Love Best stop Boudain! Took the drive to Katy for a couple packs. I went in the morning so it was in and out! Market is a nice size with a lot of Cajun specialties stocked up but I just came for the Boudain. Service was great the guy at the front even told me it will be openings fall time Baybrook and Woodlands. I just love I don't have to drive to Scott! read more

Delicious foods - both flavor boudin balls, smoked chicken sausage, chicken gumbo and my favorite beer-to-go Abita Amber. Brought enough to share and frozen varieties for a couple weeks. Ordered ahead and it was ready to ride. Very efficient and friendly folks take care of you ! IT'S SO GOOD read more

The Best Stop - This is my new diet lunch lol. I did sneak another boudin ball as they aren't large - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

After 2 visits here, one Saturday morning and the next visit 4 days later, I give it 3 stars. Came for cracklin Saturday morning, the flavor was amazing. I bragged about it to everyone. Returned Wednesday morning, got home with my cracklin and it was not good. It was not even close to the quality I had that Saturday. I also wanted chicken cracklin but they were out. They couldn't make more because they were out of flour. My advice is to never allow them to close your bag before you pay. Make sure to taste what's in your brown bag before you leave to ensure the quality. Also get samples before making your decision too. I noticed Saturday that they bagged my cracklin and put the sticker on the side so i could see and taste what was inside on my way to the register. Contrarily on Wednesday, they bagged my cracklin and used the sticker to close the bag. Trust me, had the bag been open then I would have tasted what they gave me before I paid! I would have left those cracklin right there. 30 bucks down the drain. Be careful! read more

We don't have to drive to Louisiana to get good cajun meats anymore!! Also cracklin!!!

Visited this new store 20 Feb 24. Upon entering the staff was warm and welcoming. This was a combination of a grocery store and cafe. The boudin was spicy and worth the try. read more

I gave it a 2/5 because the people inside were friendly. As far as the boudin goes... this is not it! The picture is supposed to be of original boudin, you would think it's smoked by the color. The flavor.. I hate to say but it doesn't taste anything like The Best Stop in Scott like I remember growing up on. I'll be taking the 3.5 hour drive back to Scott before coming back here! This doesn't even taste like the original recipe. read more

I think the original Best Stop in Louisiana was "made famous" via Jane and Michael Stern, of "Road Food" fame. I always quite liked it, although its "interstate-centric" name and location (and the idea it's where the traveler leaving Louisiana for more food-deprived locales would have a ~last chance~ to "load up the coolers" with real Cajun food) did not make it my favorite -- that would be Billy's, in Opelousas, and Hebert's Slaughter House, in Abbeville (for RED boudin) -- but it was fine. And it is certainly FINE to have authentic boudin, cracklin's -- and [whatever else they plan to stock when fully opened . . . some of the cold/freezer cases were quite bare when I was there during their soft opening] -- in Katy. The boudin was fine in taste, but wasn't the PLUMP and moist link you find in Acadiana. (The arcane, mystical art of keeping boudin piping hot without bursting the skins is seemingly known to few, other than every boudin purveyor in Acadiana!) The skin was rather dry and I am not sure I was given "original" as what I found when I got it home seemed "smoked." I need a second visit to confirm this hypothesis. I also concur with the other poster that the cracklin's were authentic, beautifully cooked, just right on the tooth,. but WOEFULLY UNDERSEASONED! Cracklin's have to be seasoned when they are fresh cooked, immediately when taken out of the grease. You can't "retrofit" the seasoning when they have cooled down. It just all falls off, where it needs to soak in with the grease. If they are omitting the seasoning for "health reasons" . . . I would submit that if you are worried about sodium on an item that is almost entirely running pork fat . . . er . . . that does not make very much sense. But I have no wish to make this all sound negative. I think a hot link of boudin is one of the very best "to go" snacks, and we should really have it available all over Houston as they do just a few miles to our east, in Louisiana. And, yes, it was just opened and a little hectic, but the staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. Check out the Best Stop, Katy! And "give them the hint" by asking for your cracklin's to be WELL SEASONED! read more

I'm a regular visitor of the Scott location when visiting family. I am super excited to have the best stop here in Katy. I look forward to the growth and the store becoming more like the Scott location. The food was excellent as usual, I was just missing all the pastries and novelties that I am accustomed to. I love this store. read more

The best Boudin in the whole world. You can either get it fresh or frozen. Which makes it convenient for everyone.

When I heard Best Stop Cajun Market was in Katy, Tx I had to plan a trip to visit. As a Louisiana native it is very hard to find authentic Cajun food outside of Louisiana. While in Katy I stopped at Best Stop. I was greeted promptly on the way in and several times while in the establishment. There is a good selection of Louisiana products, but not as much as I was hoping for. :) The place is about the size of a 7 -11 convenient store with a grocery section, a sit down eating area, a freezer section, and a deli style area with hot food products... I was super excited about the hot food!!!!! In the food section there was boudin, boudin balls, fries pork chops, cracklings, red beans and rice, cajun egg rolls, and much more. I went straight for the boudin and boudin balls. I got mild but spicy and pepper jack was available too. The boudin was good. I have had lots of boudin from many different Louisiana classics. I give the boudin a 7 out of 10. I enjoyed it and will definitely be going back. I also grabbed some frozen smoked sausage to take back home. Great job Best Stop for bring authentic Louisiana cuisine to Katy. I look forward to trying your planned San Marcos location!!!!! read more

Its far from my location and I honestly like djs Boudain better good customer service im just going to stay on my side of town

Gave it 2 stars because the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Everything was organized and clean. The pork cracklings were dry and it seemed as if they were air fried. It was entirely too hard and lacked flavor. I'll try more things on the menu next time because I always give 3 chances for every place I visit read more

I've been meaning to get by here and today I finally had a chance. I was hoping for something similar to the location in Scott LA but it's a little different. The store is bigger and also has a dining room to sit and eat. There's a bit of confusion when you walk in as to how to order...I think there's a formed line but people come from behind the counter to take your order as well so just go with the flow. Sylvia took my order and she even let me sample the boudain because I couldn't remember which one I usually buy. Service is quick and friendly and they have all the good food, meat and spices and even King Cakes. The only thing missing was the Zapps chips. I eat them with my boudain and they sell them at the Scott location. How can you represent LA and not sell Zapps chips?! Please stock the Zapps! Looking forward to my next visit. Oh yeah they also sell souvenirs, tshirts, caps, etc. read more

I am a Outside salesman that has visit this location three times every time I visit this location there at least 8 to 10 employees but yet I walk into the store and stand there for a good 5 to 10 minutes before somebody even acknowledge me. Today I went in and tried to get original Boudoin And they didn't have any cooked yet. I tried to get crackling Cracklin were burnt, overcooked hard as a rock, the chicken Cracklin burnt cooked way overcooked the egg looked burnt. I have never seen such poor quality and poor staffing and poor help at any best stop I've been to several locations. I travel a lot and I'm telling you this is probably the worst location I've ever visited. I guess I have to go back to Lafayette to get the service you need and the quality of product that you need because whoever is running this place who owns it don't know how truly Louisiana food supposed to look even the pictures online food looks tacky. Somebody please help this Louisiana restaurant baes successful. I've never seen a best stop that didn't have a line at the registers every morning. read more
