We have only tried their sunday BBQ so far. Soul food style which speaks to my foody heart. I like the bbq chicken more than the ribs. Sides are great. Baked beans and candied yams are my fav. Order ahead, line can get long. Food portions are very generous! read more

The food was what I expected. I had the meatball stew with black eyed peas and carrot soufflé. The food was perfectly seasoned and I was more than full. You will not leave there hungry. The service was good and the setting was perfect. The only issue I had was the temperature. It was a little too warm inside. read more

A stellar lunch. They serve only Louisiana-raised shrimp, crawfish & catfish. We were in the area visiting family. Manager showed us the ropes as soon as we entered, & he was on top of his game. Friendly, efficient service, even with a busy drive-thru. 7-8 tables inside, 4 nice tables on the front porch. Portions were large, and everyone loved their food: Etoufee, catfish, carrot souffle, mashed potatoes, broccoli & cheese, Homemade Rolls (good bread ups the * count, so a 5.5!), a delicious array of cakes and cheesecake, & they even had Mr. Pibb in the fountain. We all had leftovers to take home, so the pricing was very reasonable! Made a good day better! read more

Veronica's Cafe - Menu board March 2023 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carencro, Louisiana

Our party of 6 stopped in on the way out of Louisiana for a plate lunch. It was late but there was still lots of food. In fact, they were still frying pork chops. I chose the red beans and rice, fried pork chop, Mac n Cheese, and potato salad with a dinner roll. It was all so hot and fresh and so well seasoned. The portion size was plentiful and for less than $10. As far as the taste, it was incredible. I mean the red beans and rice were phenomenal. The fried pork chop was cooked to perfection. The Mac n Cheese was okay and so was the potato salad, even though it was on the mustardy side. The dinner rolls tasted homemade. My aunts loved the cabbage rolls and the burgers. The patties were super thick. The white chocolate bread pudding is a must! Oh lord! No words!! But aside from the delicious food, the pride of Veronica's would have to be Mr. Alexander. He became my daughter's best friend when he searched for her some corn bread, heated it up, then served her some milk to try it together. He has such a warm personality with great customer service skills. Friendly people like him is why I love south Louisiana and the good food doesn't hurt either. read more

Delicious home cooked dinner like Meemaw use to make! Just go there!! Nice people, clean facility and good food!

This place is the bomb. Great food for the soul. Great people that love to cook. Get you some.

This place here is SO DARN GOOD! I had the smothered okra with chicken & sausage, potato salad, beets, and a strawberry cake to top it off. Usually I don't care for okra if it'd slimy, but the consistency here was just perfect! The chicken and sausage just paired harmoniously well together. I'm indeed coming back to try this place again! read more

They cook the best liver and gravy , bbq on Sundays . The menu is different plates every day! But some things burgers etc they always have great family owned and service is great read more

I was in the area and have been heard by word of mouth about this place. It's a little out of the way and away from the highway, and may not look like much, but the drive is worth it! When arrived, I was greeted and welcomed by the nice people of Veronica's. The smell of deliciousness was in the air, and I could not wait to dive into some goodness! We had the hamburger steak w/mash potatoes and side of potato salad and white beans, and it was so good! The mash potatoes was nice and creamy, and the hamburger steak was delicious and flavorful! They change up their menu everyday, and I cannot wait to try their other stuff! read more

Veronica's Cafe - Hamburger steak w/mash potatoes - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carencro, Louisiana

Veronica has some of the best food in Carencro and also offers a drive thru for convenience(call in your order before pick up.)

Ok I love this place! It's tiny inside I would consider it a whole in the wall. It's passed hands a few times since I've known about it in 2008. The owners now have been around for a few years. I'm never disappointed. Home cooked southern food that Cajuns actually approve of! It's worth the stop at I-49 exit on hector connley. Best gumbo in the area. Call ahead to order for the drive thru. Enjoy! read more

The food is usual amazing, but today it was just ok. I wanted rice and gravy as a side, but I think I was misunderstood. The portion size is great, but the turkey and the gravy (what little I had) was bland. Might have been just an off day. read more

Run by horribly rude people, can't be decent to people paying you $60 worth of food? That's not ok. Try and be understanding toward people and you might get further but meantime you have lost the business of 3 households. Would not recommend. read more

Unlike any other state in the US, Louisiana has strong ties to France. This is clear to visitors right at entrance to the state signs stating "Bienvenue en Louisiane" welcoming them. Most people who live here trace their ancestors to either coming directly from France or from French Acadiana. The ardent affair with food that folks in Louisiana share with the French is well documented. What may not be that well know is that just like in France, the State is dotted with small town restaurants and eateries that serve heavenly food. As in France, it is worth any visitor's drive to seek out these eateries that serve glorious food in these lesser known towns and villages. One such purposeful detour took me to Veronica's Café in Carencro. It is housed in a handsome house with a nice patio. The inside is lined with plastic chair and tables. The day's specials were hand written on a board and ready to be served behind the counter. With some gentle nudging from the kind lady behind the counter I settled for Smothered Okra with Chicken and Sausage, with the sides of smothered potatoes and beets. A generous portion size was served on a paper plate with a warm smile. I made my way to a table with my plate and silverware. From the very first taste of the smothered potatoes I knew I was in for a treat. Most potatoes in the smothered potatoes are mashed. But this one was made of thick slices of potatoes perfectly cooked in a a delectable sauce that was well flavored with sausage and herbs. It was delicious. The beets were nicely boiled and flavored. The Smothered Orka Chicken Sausage served over rice was divine. It was something the likes of which I have never had before. It appears to be a cross between smothered okra and a chicken and sausage gumbo. Some Cajun chefs have a penchant for using heavily spiced and smoked sausages in their Gumbo which can sometimes overpower the taste. Other times Acadian chefs tend to cook the gumbo entirely too long making the chicken fall apart and stringy. The chicken in the smothered okra dish was perfectly cooked - soft and yet retaining little of the bite. The sausage was delicious - not overpowering the dish, but lending a slight spicy smoke flavor. A dinner roll was served as well with my plate. I find this tradition of serving meat and sauce with rice and including a dinner roll on the side very endearing in Louisiana. One can never have enough carbs to mop up all the glorious sauce in the food here. The plate lunch was absolutely delicious and the service was basic but warm. I had to walk over to the counter to complement Ms Veronica. She modestly replied that she has been cooking since she was 10 years old. Although the experience shows in her dishes, I do think that she clearly has a gift for cooking and an attention to detail that elude most restaurants that serve plate lunches and tend to focus on quantity over quality. Veronica's Café serves very good hearty food that shall always fill a hungry stomach and soothe a weary heart. I drove away blissfully happy cherishing the tingle of a spicy aftertaste. Make the drive to this place my fellow eaters. You shall be rewarded with good food and a Joie de Vivre! read more

Looking for GREAT creole home cooking in Carencro look no further. Haven't tried anything I didn't like & there homemade dinner rolls are the best. read more

Have enjoyed Veronica's for years now. Lunch menu is extensive and tasty, varied, homemade bread. Love the seafood during the week and BBQ chicken plate on Sunday. Now, going during the week is treat for huge lunch menu variety. I like the drive-through window and eat watching my favorite amazon series right now, Struggle for Life. They only do lunch/brunch/linner from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. close to I-49, drive through and go, a few words with friendly folks who own it, etc., or you can sit on porch or inside in small dining area. Such great food coming out of a smaller space. read more

Very good, the plate lunches are awesome. My favorite is the Pork Stake, I substitute the rice dressing for corn bread dressing. I'd marry it. Don't get me started on the Home Made desserts. Little pricey but worth it. read more

We keep going back to this place and it always satisfies. Lunch place 6x/week (no Saturdays). Offers great BBQ on Sundays. Flexible enough that if you are on a diet, you can even go there (get the fresh grilled shrimp salad). But where this place shines is the sheer awesomeness of the great cooking. The hot food plate lunches (which change daily) are to die for. Po Boys are fabulous and authentic! Every time we eat there we are impressed. First time I've ever had meatball stew (rice, dark rich gravy) was here and it is the best in the area. Everything is cooked from scratch. Cornbread, fresh rolls. No shortcuts here! Great service. Even has a drive through. Parking is shady if you want that. Pretty front outdoor dining optional. Comfortable atmosphere. I often end up taking home part of my food so I get 2-3 meals out of just one! My husband often can't help himself and he often has to finish everything (I don't blame him). Recently added cheesecakes to some already beautiful desserts--multiple types of cakes and brownies. You just cannot pass them up at the register! read more
