This is more of a grocery store with a warm food meat market attached it can be overwhelming when first walking in as someone who doesn't have a clue what is going on. But as always the service here is amazing and so helpful. 5 out of 5 We got Boudin Sausage, I was quite shocked at how mushy it is compared to sausages that have more of a bite to it. 4 out of 5 Space is nice and clean 5 out of 5 Over all happy to say it was well enjoyed 5 out of 5 read more

The Best Stop Supermarket - Boudin Sausage - Grocery Near Me - Scott, Louisiana

Pepperjack boudin balls = 5 stars. Full Stop. Period. End of sentence. That could be the review. The rest is lagniappe. That means a little something extra for you non-Louisianians. It is pronounced Lag-Knee-App, make sure you say it that way a lot when you come visit us. All the cool kids do. Best Stop is a must stop for anyone road tripping along I-10 in Louisiana. Who needs a Bucees when you have this place. The aforementioned boudin balls are the best road trip snack ever. Fried spicy, cheesy, delectable delights. On my most recent visit, I got their in house made beef jerky, homemade pork skins, the boudin balls and some jalapeno honey mustard to take home. All of it wonderful. One of my buddies who I was road tripping with, was smart enough to bring a cooler. He bought frozen boudin balls, a few pounds of boudin, some smoked sausage and some sort of stuffed chicken. This place has all kinds of meat! I was jealous and I will definitely bring a cooler next time. read more

We saw the signs while on the road and decided to stop to get a light meal. I wanted boudin and this place did not disappoint. Before ordering, we walked through and made a mental note on what we wanted to get on the way back home. They have a wide variety of exotic meats like rabbit and quail. They also have stuffed pork chops, boudin, sausage and seasoned and stuffed briskets and roasts. The steam table counter was small. I got boudin and it was reasonably priced, spicy like I like it and a good serving for a quick snack. I also got boudin balls- didn't like those as much. Maybe if they were crunchier. They have a large menu of items to order and it was a little crowded, probably due to the holiday. read more

When in town for work or just passing through, I always have to stop at Best Stop. I was with a friend who ordered the omelette, and she loved it. I opted for the Nicky sandwich on toast with Lettuce, Tomato, and Spicy Mayo. I also had a side of Red beans. This was like a party in my mouth! Seriously. Best red beans I've ever had. I'm from New Orleans where we have a day of the week assigned for red beans and rice, so I have had a few red beans. These were the smokiest, creamiest, most flavorful beans I've ever eaten. The Nicky sandwich is boudin on bread. If it is on toast they call it a Tic Toc, so I guess technically I had a tic toc. Doesn't sound like much, but it is really good. I recommend it. Don't pass this place up. If you're not from the south, it is too spicy for you. Enjoy. read more

Any time I am in town, I will stop by Best Stop. Best boudin in the area. I usually just go for their regular boudin. It is slightly smoky, flavorful, and has a little kick to it. This last time I stopped by on the way to the airport, that's how much I needed some before my trip ended. Will always make the drive from my parent's place in Lafayette. read more

The Best Stop is my go-to spot for smoked boudin and it is hands down the best in the 337. Every time I'm in the area I stock up. Aside from the smoked meats and boudin they also have an extensive menu with po'boys and plate lunches that never disappoint. A true Louisiana gem. read more

Pepper Jack Boudin Balls, where have you been all my life?! These things are serious trouble. They are bigger than the regular boudin balls and filled with more flavor! Crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. This place also has some delicious cracklins both chicken and pork.

I bought a pound of cracklings on my way to Texas, the next day they inedible. hard a rocks, waste of money.

Service was friendly and they happily answered everything I asked. It's something about these Cajuns, they are always friendly! Food was delish, we got bought frozen boudin balls for later. To eat immediately was cracklin, chicken skin, and their pepper Jack boudin balls. Chicken skin was our fav but everything we got was delish. read more

We came to try this place since Billy's line was too long. They have both ready to eat food you can order from the counter or frozen/refrigerated food you can make at home. Ordered the boudin balls (4/5, good flavor but on the salty side if you are not used to Cajun food), boudin wraps (3/5, not too much filling, the spring roll wrap was over cooked, dry and hard to chew) and pork cracklings (3.5/5, good flavor but not as crispy and expected). read more

For our family, this is a landmark on the drive back to Texas from Louisiana. Our most recent purchase this week did not disappoint. It can get crowded, but the staff is friendly. This week we were originally told that they didn't sell single boudin links anymore but when we got to the counter, we were told that they still did and so we were able to get them in singles instead in a larger quantity (case). All is well that ends well and of course we'll be back. If you're looking for quality, seasoned boudin this is your place! read more

Full meat market with lots of choices. You can order lunch-fried pork chops, boudin, fried boudin balls, cracklins, plus more. Frozen sausage & boudin also. Don't miss the Louisiana boudin- it's so good. Yum read more

The Best Stop Supermarket - Boudin - Grocery Near Me - Scott, Louisiana

I have been driving from the Southside of Lafayette for at least 11 years, periodically, for what used to be the best cajon products available. Today, and the last few visits, I have been so disappointed in the quality that I'm not sure I will continue to visit. I bought two hot links of boudin, two Boudin and pepper cheese wraps and a quarter lb of cracklins. I am enclosing photos of overcooked, dried, and old product I received. I believe all of what I bought might have been yesterday's food. Nothing purchased just after noon today was fresh. Their fresh boudin used to come fresh out of a steamer, moist and light in color, and delicious. Todays was dark in color, dry and appeared to have been roasting for quite some time under a heat lamp. Very dry inside and the skin was no longer soft but was brittle and broke while trying to eat the dry boudin. The wraps were also the same...dry with the inside boudin not at all moist. The crackling were cold and very dry and obviously old product. Considering the premium price paid for all three, I am bitterly disappointed in TheBest Stop. read more

Small supermarket in Scott primarily focusing on Cajun specialty foods both frozen and fresh. We initially wanted to go to Billy's but their line was a bit long. Best Stop was quick. We got boudain balls (4/5), boudain wraps (3/5, overcooked wrapper skin unfortunately and very light on the cheese inside), and pork cracklings (3/5, a bit hard). Overall it's a cool spot for out of towners, but I think there are better Cajun speciality stores in the Lafayette area. read more

The Best Stop Supermarket - Nicky's Sandwich (boudin) - Grocery Near Me - Scott, Louisiana

UPDATE Background: Robert Cormier's "BEST STOP" remains the "GOLD Standard" for SW LA Cajun Charcuterie specialties. We have always had boudin blanc & gratons (Cracklins) of superb quality in this area, Robert didn't invent either. Importantly, what he did do, was to establish a quality standard never before reached; and made the boudin available daily, year round. Same with his gratons. We had boudin before, and some was very good. But it was either a product of a home boucherie or a small business with changing standards and variable availability. Indeed, I well recall of folks telling of finding good boudin here or there. Best Stop was an icon of consistency in a theretofore uncertain "Monde de Boudin". But he didn't stop there. We had known for decades that boudin could be frozen, but many doubted. So, boudin makers made daily batches and froze what didn't sell, at day's end. IOW, it was already 12 or 15 hours old when frozen. Boudin is delicate, like REAL French bread; and, to be best, it must be either eaten promptly, or frozen when freshly-made. Our hero began freezing boudin immediately, preserving its fresh qualities. Next came vacuum-packing. This was resisted for quite a while, but all eventually realized that boudin vacuum packed & frozen immediately would "keep" well, with preservation of taste and texture. A new World was opened. We could then enjoy fresh quality boudin much later & far away. Best Stop boudin began traveling, and did it go ! I recall packing our twin with Best Stop goodies for Judge Gauthreaux in Islamorada, and flying them to deer camps in the West Texas Mountains. Try to explain boudin to a Mexican customs officer. It was a New World ! Things continued to grow steadily, despite a plethora of new wannabes placing themselves between the IH10 "Scott" Exit and the Best Stop. Even "Don's", an established boudin maker from southern Saint Landry Parish, moved in. This area is now known as "Boudin Alley". Have we, the Best Stop "faithful", tried the others? Of course; either friends treated us, or we got there after 7:00PM and needed a bite. But we are loyal, and for very good reasons. This story continues to unfold. there is now a modern "Best Stop Boudin Factory" and their trucks deliver to regional supermarkets like Albertson's, Rouse Markets, even "Cash Saver Stores". Our boudin, and especially Best Stop boudin, is unlike that in France, which is made of the "left-overs" of a butcher. Robert's specialties are all made only of top quality packing house meats, no substandard ingredients. These are some of the reasons why most of us locals & our Texan Cajun/Creole neighbors just drive past all those competitors on our way to Best Stop. So, even if you are not an "expert", please do yourself a big favor and drive the extra 0.9 miles to the original and still the BEST, "Best Stop" ! Rick . read more

Great Cracklin whether it's Pork or Chicken! Always hot and Fresh excellent seasoning!

Located just west of Lafayette in Scott, LA off of Interstate 10, the Best Stop Supermarket is THE place to go if you are looking for the best cracklin on the planet. For those of you living in distant lands far far away from the Southeast U.S., cracklin is pork skin that has been deep fired and seasoned, and in my opinion, best eaten when still warm. This "real" cracklin bares no resemblance to what you may find in your local supermarket or vending machine. The crackling is hearty and has a little meat attached, and is seasoned to perfection. Served in a small brown paper bag, there is nothing fancy about the packaging; however, the taste will knock your socks off. The Best Stop also sells boudin sausage, more commonly referred to as simply boudin. For those of you not in the know, boudin is in its most general terms, a spicy Cajun sausage containing rice and meat (such as pork) or seafood. They also sell smoked boudin, boudin balls and pepper-jack boudin balls. These may be some of the best balls you've ever eaten; no pun intended. LOL! As the name implies, the supermarket has a fresh meat counter featuring such items as steaks, pork chops, rabbits and fresh and frozen stuffed chickens. Ever since my first discovery, I have never passed through Lafayette or Scott, LA without stopping here. For cracklin, they simply ARE the best! read more

The Best Stop Supermarket is well named. If you are seeking Cajun boudin, sausage, cracklings, and specialty meats, it is the best stop you can make. I've been stopping there since the early 1990s, and I'm still convinced it's the place you should shop. Over the years, there have been a number of new Cajun meat places that have sprung up at the Scott-Cankton Exit from Interstate 10. Many of these new places have their fans, but they are not the same as the original Best Stop. To get to the original, take Louisiana Highway 93 north for a mile, or till it begins to curve left (west), the Best Stop is on the left (west) side of the road in this curve. There is more parking than there used to be, look for the red building and go right in. Once inside, you can browse through all the various forms of sausages, boudins, stuffed meats, seasoned meats, and prepared foods. These come in both fresh and frozen forms. Bring your ice chest so you can take some to your friends, family, and freezer. You can also get some hot cracklings, boudin, or boudin balls to munch on the road. The Best Stop is also a country supermarket, so if you need any convenience items or groceries, they can help with that too. You can get t-shirts, seasonings, and souvenirs as well. It's only a little way off the Interstate, just past all those new places. Take the time to go to the original, the legendary, the Best Stop! read more

I'm addicted to the boudin from this place. A buddy of mine introduced me to this boudin about 10 years ago and I've been getting this stuffed shipped to my house in Houston ever since. I've ordered a few turduckens stuffed with boudin and while some people might look at me crazy when I talk about it, once they try that turducken, they're hooked. When I travel to Louisiana for work, I tend to pop in every now and then and grab a bite for the road. Interior is clean, very good selection of products and meats. Staff is very friendly. I Highly recommend. read more

This place is usually better but today it was an off day. Possibly because it was almost closing time I'm not sure. I walked inside hoping for some boudain only to find something like a boudain egg roll. I asked if they were warm and I was told yes they are fresh but they tasted like day old flour. It was really dry and stuck to my mouth. I couldn't taste any boudain, nothing but flour. I'll give this place another chance because it's usually really good to me. I'm not a big boudain eater but I love the boudain here. read more

We have been in Lafayette for 5 years and just learned of Beat Stop, and what a pleasant experience.

I love Cracklins and it's not something I get fresh in San Antonio. If you're driving through Louisiana you need to check them out. I had a fresh pepper Jack boudin ball and I kinda want to turn around and get some more. My Cracklins are fresh hot and just the right amount of spice. We did buy some frozen boudin and pork loin stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños wrapped in bacon. I can't wait to try that. They ship y'all if you want to check them out now, but you gotta try their fresh hot food as well. read more
