Best boudin and boudin balls I have ever had !! Busy, but service is very fast, they have enough workers for the amount of customers. I go at least once a week !!
The woman waiting in ine in front of me would not let me leave without getting the stuffed pork-chops, smoked boudin, mixed boudin (spicy Cajun sausage with rice and pork filling), pork tasso and boudin balls. They sell dry ice, buy it and buy whatever the locals or your eyes tell you. Beyond good.
We used to live in Louisiana and now live in Houston so every time we travel over to LA we always stop at Best Stop for meat to bring home. Our favorite would have to be the stuffed chicked breast with cheese and spinach. It is large enough for the two of us to split. I also recommend the filet mignon, stuffed bell peppers, stuffed pork chops and the boudin. All the meat is seasoned so all you need to do is cook it! Also get some of their cracklin..it is seasoned perfectly and always still warm.The staff is extremely friendly and will answer any questions that you might have on cooking any of their products. The line can get kind of long if you are in there after lunch time but it does move very quickly.
On a whim, we decided to stop here. It was easy on/easy off IH10. I gave the Boudin Balls a quick try, then loaded up on some goodies. We visited on a Sunday early afternoon, and only had a few other visitors in the shop with us. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. In the future, I will not drive through without stopping here. You shouldn't either!
Absolutely THE BEST stuffed pork chops ever! Every time I come here, I have to bring an ice chest with me to bring back orders for friends. The variety of meats are endless - stuffed pork chops, quail, rabbit, boudin, you name it. Be sure to get a small bag of cracklins while you are there. I'd tell you to get a large, but they are so good, you will end up eating the entire bag and have a cholesterol reading through the roof! The boudin balls are great too.The staff there are super friendly and helpful. Easy access off I-10 at the Cankton/Scott exit.
We stopped here as recommended by someone in a forum, on here. We are from the UK and had no idea what we were doing except that we wanted some boudin. Both the staff and other customers were bemused by our accents but we had a good laugh with them all whilst we ordered some boudin, smoked boudin and crackling. Along with a cooking instruction! We bought some boudin balls to eat straight away as we were starving. The boudin (all types) was amazing, and possibly one of the best things we have eaten, ever. Really enjoyed it, and we are going back today for some, which isn't bad as we only have 3 days in the area, and we are choosing this over eating out! Mmmmmmm indeed.
The boudin and cracklins are the best. Stuffed meats are also a great gift idea and a great supper. Pricing is fair could still be a little less costly. Other than that very good!
This place is near the intersection of Hwy 90 and I-10. Don's Specialty Meat's and Billy's Boudin are near the same intersection. Of the three, Best Stop has the best cracklins. They are meaty and crispy without being too hard. The boudin balls here weren't that great though. For better boudin balls go to Billy's.
We had read some great reviews about this place and so decided to make a detour here on our way from Opelousas to Lafayette. So glad we came here - the boudin and cracklins were amazing! I just wish we could go back!
Great boudin and boudin balls! We now make this a stop every time we come through Louisiana. We bought the stuffed chicken and I bet its going to be equally as good.
