While driving to Texas, we saw billboards advertising boudin and specialty meats from Don's. So glad we stopped! Great selection of meats, sauces, desserts! We had a hard time choosing what we wanted to eat. So many great choices. One cannot go wrong with any selection. Would definitely recommend everyone to make time during their travels to stop and indulge! Something for everyone!
8. Billy's Boudin & Cracklins

This place is in a gas station. However, dont let that deter you from going. First, the place was very clean. As for the food: The pepper jack stuffed boudin balls are fabulous. I highly recommend these. The cracklin were well seasoned, but frankly a disappointment. They seemed like they were under the heating lamp a long time. Had they been fresh, they probably would have been great. The other disappointing thing was the line and time to check out. This took too long for the type of establishment. I bought smoked boudin to take home and it was a hit. We all found it well seasoned and flavorful. Same with the regular frozen boudin. Very pleased with boudin items.
7. Boutin's Seafood Steakhouse and Oyster Bar
Reviewed By Mitch G
It was a great evening for a couples night and we decided to try a new place. Boutinâs was a great choice. Seafood was fresh and plentiful. Good south Louisiana comfort food. The menu is full of real ole fashion seafood items (with a few new twist) that we grew up with. We will be back soon.
6. Firehouse Subs
Reviewed By JMArabi75
Never had firehouse subs before but was very satisfied with it. Had the engineer sub and it tasted fresh as it could possibly be. Much better than subway.
5. Fat Pat's Bar and Grill
Reviewed By keithlajack
Took my family of 7 for a nice relaxing meal. Restaurant was clean. Was very crowded. Servers had too many customers. Bad management. Took extremely long to get meal of burgers. Two of the orders were incorrect. Waitress asked multiple times if everything was ok and we said yes. Wasn't going to wait another 30 minutes plus for another order. Not a good stop for me and won't be back for overpriced burgers.

We had a great lunch with family. The place was packed. But very nice for our get together. Had to park in back which was ok. Our server Krista was attentive and excellent. Had a great shrimp poboy. The portion sizes were amazing. We'll defiantly be coming back to try out the rest!

Some coworkers and so were in town for Advanced Firefighting training at SMS this week. We were looking for a hearty Cajun lunch to carry us through the day and boy was this it! Two of us had the BBQ pork and chicken which was special in its own way. The other two guys got burgers and they claimed with a straight face that these were the best burgers they have ever had! Price was very reasonable and friendly service. Seating is limited inside so arrive early or enjoy the outside seating area. We are coming back again this week for some more of their tasty cuisine!

Love the decor and the setup of this restaurant. Great service from the time you enter to the time you leave. Food is spectacular. Great flavor and properly proportioned. My only complaint was that it was noisy. Everyone seemed to be talking so loud as to talk over the table next to them which made the place loud.Thank you for your review! Yes, it can get noisy when we are slammed, such as when we have a pre-concert crowd. It is not typically that loud. Thanks again for your wonderful review of our food, service and decor!Steve S.
