Kitchen closes around 11 every night bar at 2am. Oldest bar in the town, good decor, nice staff, local folk, great spot if you are going from Houston to Louisiana. Some would consider it a dive others would consider it a watering hole, it's a community spot and a good one.

I only come here for the food, Boudain Balls specifically some of the BEST Boudain Balls in the area. The Boudain Hut has been here as a long time establishment for people to come hang out, drink, and spend time with friends. They have been known for their crawfish boils, BBQ's, fundraisers, and things of that nature.. but I come here for the Boudain Balls. Your not from around here and don't know about Boudain? Well, Boudain is a traditional Cajun styled meat sausage that is filled with rice, grains, seasonings, meats, and other flavors from the cook's pantry that is placed in a "Sausage styled" casing. Everyone does it differently... so that is NOT the debate here, just the explanation for the non-boudain folk. You ask: "well if that is Boudain.. where are the balls?"... I answer simply that the Boudain link has NO BALLS.. [grinning] But what you can do is get that fine mixture of boudain that the cook has created, shape it using an ice cream scoop, batter/bread it and deep fry it for a delectable taste of a now Fried "Boudain Ball".. that is what you get. Simply put, you need to go there to taste them. They are worth the visit, you may need to wait a bit and have a local drink while they cook them up fresh... but you will not be discouraged and your time waiting will be well invested. Spend some time, go down the highway, and visit the Boudain Hut for some great fried Boudain Balls. You will leave happy, filled, and probably ready for a nap... oh yeah, order enough to take some home for later; your friends and family will love you for it.

So not saying I'll never go back but this visit was not the best. Don't expect good/any service if you aren't a "regular" once I finally was noticed the first 3 things I wanted were not available. So I left and went to Larry's for gumbo and MAN it was amazing!

Cool place to go. Live music all the time.. Good Boudain and cheap cold beer!

A local establishment with low grade, but decent Cajun food. I've never been here at night, but I do compliment the place on early hours. The bartenders that I've seen are "okay" yet not quite attentive. The gumbo is, for a New Orleanean, BAD. The boudin balls are, well, decent. I still come here though. It's a bar. I can drink at 7am. They have music playing on the jukebox. You can smoke here. It's a local place. I've met local people. And the place is okay.

When they used to make the boudin balls fresh on site it was great. Now they are pre-made from a bag.

I always get the crawfish Togo , with a 10 min drive it's still hot to touch by the time I make it home and get to the last crawfish. Lots of garlic, onions and juicy flavor! I'm very picky about crawfish but I get it at least once a week! Convenient drive-thru if you don't want to get out , decent price and wonderful customer service. 10/10 !

I got the 2lb boiled crawfish special and added a link of sausage. First thing is they put the…read morecrawfish in a styrofoam container then into your plastic bag. All the juice came out of the styrofoam and into the bag. Luckily there wasn't a hole in the bag or it would have destroyed my leather seats. I would suggest they put it in boils bags. When I opened it, I did not have the corn and potatoes the special comes with. They put a bunch of onion in there that I feel is unnecessary. Maybe others eat onion in their boil but I don't. As afar as taste, it was bland. I got the spicy and was not spicy at all. Their crawfish is obviously made to order and they do not soak them. They peeled good but lacked and flavor or spice. Their sauce was good but the best thing about it was the sausage link. I would not buy crawfish from here again. Inside is a small are with some dining tables. Nothing to write about. I will try other items on the menu if I make it back over there. Also tried a daiquiri and as another review stated, not good at all. Was expecting something similar to New Orleans daiquiri but not even close! Don't waste your money just make your own at home.
