I don't live in Lafayette but everytime I'm traveling and have to go through Louisiana I always stop at Billy's to get my favorite cracklings. This time I got shrimp boudin ball and it was yummy. The service is always very kind and quick. It's around $25 for 1lb, pricy but I have to get the pound since I don't live out there and want it for a few days. read more

First time having boudin & it was pretty good. Didnt know what to expect and had nothing to compare it to because this was my only taste of it. Cool nice lil snack. Seems like Something you would eat as a side dish in my opinion. I would need some greens, some cabbage, beans/ purple hull peas, yams ... some other type of meat to make it a full meal. ‍‍ I'd rate it like a 3 & a half to be honest. California tappin in! read more

As a die hard Charlie T's fan, I have to give credit where credit is due. Billy's is pretty darn good! I stopped by when I was in town, and I absolutely love their new location. It's huge, and I think this is the nicest boudin store I've ever seen, design and size wise. There are seating options indoors, as well as a restroom! There are lines, but they go by pretty quickly. There's a plethora of options, from boudin egg rolls, to boudin balls, regular boudin, fried corn, cracklin, crawfish balls, etc. If you can think it up, they probably have it on their fryer trays. I love the fried corn cobs! They're flavorful and fried to perfection! I also love the boudin balls with pepperjack cheese! Yummy, and the contrast between the crunchy crust and the ooey gooey cheesy inside is the perfect ratio! Yum Yum! I give Billy's a close 2nd place to Charlie T's in Breaux Bridge! read more

I came for the boudin balls and chicken cracklin and OMG! This was my first time eating boudin and chicken cracklin and it was fantastic! Perfectly seasoned. The crawfish rollup was just okay. I hate I didn't get to stop by before I left town. Great customer service, clean with a nice selection of prepackaged foods, and very reasonable prices. read more

The boudin balls with the cheese in the middle are to die for! Their cracklins are good too!

Food great customer service excellent price soso store nice and clean. Had to fly out to Louisiana to pickup my boudin.

The best cracklins I have ever had! Hot and seasoned to perfection! The inside is sort of like a gas station, but they have a hot food section that takes up half the store. You can order Boudin, sausages, cracklings, and other fried items that are hot and made fresh. They also have the option to buy refrigerated Game meats and sausages. The bathrooms are immaculately clean, and they even have an animatronic show above the soda refrigerators. Service was friendly and very helpful, we had a lot of questions for it being our first time there. read more

Billy's Boudin and Cracklin - Fresh cracklins - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

We had to stop here and buy some stuff to take back home to California. My uncle loves this place. As a Creole I grew up eating all these foods, but not always easy to find in California. Bought a lot of boudin/boudain, tasso and sausage. Also bought some bbq sauce and some roux. Brought my family some stuff they've been missing, and was able to eat good and flavor their pots. The only thing I didn't care for was the roux, I was just trying it to see if it would be good cause we usually make our own from scratch. They have refrigerated, frozen and cooked foods. They have food cooked if you want to eat right away like boudain, boudain balls all kinds of different flavors, corn, cracklin seasoned or salted, crawfish pies, breakfast sausage biscuits, and more. They also sell all kinds of sauces, seasonings, hot sauces, and roux. This place is located at a gas station, it's clean too, it's a spot that you must stop at if you're Creole or Cajun, and even if you're not familiar with these foods you will like it, trust me. read more

THE BEST BOUDIN BALLS!!! A definite no nonsense walk up counter, place your order style service. But don't let the no frills grocery/deli style feel of this place fool you! The food is EPIC! My favorites are the crawfish balls. Absolutely delicious. And don't forget the custard pies read more

Stopped by 6 weeks ago and I still can't stop thinking about those cracklins. Hot and fresh, perfectly seasoned. Amazing! Tried the crawfish boudain balls which were also top tier. I loved looking through all of their shelf items and sauces. Picked up a mini cooler bag to bring some frozen items home and was so glad we did. Signed, A Missouri girl honestly considering moving to LA for the food. read more

The variety of prepackaged food is great. The variety of grab nd go is even better. My opinion is the best cracklin' in the area. The service is quick and easy, but know that this location is part of a gas station, it is separate, so it's grab and go with a couple of tables and chairs. read more

Just had your cornbread stuffed chops tonight In Austin, Tx I smoked them on my grill. Sooo Amazing!! I loaded up some Billy's while in Scott's area to take home every time. read more

Any time I pass by or near Lafayette, i'm always stopping by Billy's to pick up a few dozen of pepperjack boudin! These always hit the spot on the go and even after popping them in the air fryer. They are always busy, but developed a nice system with orders. Store is very clean and stocked. They offer a bunch of other boudin and items on the menu which are all pretty good as well. Definitely check them out if you're near! read more

So if you are not from South Louisiana, you might not understand the "boudin" thing. It is quite amazing at this very simple food item, which is a type of sausage made from rice, meat, native spices, etc become such an iconic part of the Louisiana food scene. That being said, all locals have their personal favorites when it comes to "boudin", but don't be afraid to try them all. I would recommend Billy's based taste and consistency. The quality is very much above average. The spices are well balanced with one over powering the others. For example, I've had boudin that all you could taste was pepper or too much smoke. Billys is conveniently located off of the interstate and you can fill up with gasoline while you grab some staple Cajun items. read more

Boudin Roll Ups shrimp flavored were a hit for my kids. Chicken Cracklins were my favorite! My husband got some Pepper Jack Boudin's, Seasoned Cracklings, and Pork Cracklins salted, he loved them all! Great pit stop for some snacks. Service was great too! read more

Holy crap, these are the best boudin balls I've ever had!! I thought I didn't really like boudin, but it turns out, I haven't been eating the right ones! I got a frozen 6 pack of boudin balls from Billy's as a souvenir from someone who drove by Lafayette. It says on the package that it costs $15. $2.50 per boudin ball is not bad at all, but on top of that, these boudin balls are big! About 2 inches in diameter each. The one I got has pork, liver, onions, rice, garlic, cheese, and a few other ingredients. (They may have other kinds.) The liver was surprising to see on the ingredients list because I don't usually enjoy liver, but I didn't taste anything I didn't like at all! They were SO DELICIOUS! The interior is packed full of savory meat seasoned to perfection. The exterior breading is super flavorful, a little bit spicy (as is the Cajun way), and fried already before frozen. So, the frozen aspect might throw you off, but you can thaw it in the microwave and then crisp it up in the oven! I promise, when you do it that way, it'll be like eating one that came fresh out of the fryer! Billy's needs to expand to New Orleans so badly!! I need a location I can get to without driving 2 hours!! read more

It was a nice surprise to find another location of Billy's outside of Scott, LA. This place is new and clean. The good is hot and fresh! It beats the original location. read more

Great food at a decent price.If you are looking for authentic Cajun cuisine this is the place to go.

Given the popularity of the Scott location (#1), it makes sense that Billy's would open something up in Lafayette. Despite being around for the better part of the last year, it still feels new, complete with high ceilings, LCD menus, all at a gas station. More importantly: Is the food as good as the original location? The answer is a resounding yes. The boudin is incredibly addicting. Everything from the links to the balls is damn tasty. The pepper jack boudin balls are easily the winner, but I think the crawfish ones are definitely no slouch. It took me a while to enjoy the cracklins, mainly because of how crunchy they are. After a few munches of a dozen or so, I could start to see the appeal. One thing that people sleep on are the actual boudin links themselves. They have a whole refrigerated area of different variations, as well as hot and fresh ones available counterside. They make for an excellent meal, the perfect tailgate party snack, and complement the other foods quite well. I am never one to say no to their crawfish pies or their pistolettes. Service is good, they're quick to ring up orders and assemble food items at a quick pace. I am guessing they've dealt with lines and crowds before, so getting things out quickly is key. Prices are not all that cheap compared to the competition, but Billy's has earned their stripes with consistency and variety. Even though I'm rarely in Lafayette, Billy's will certainly be a must-go whenever I'm back in the area. I wish them lots of success and hope this location continues to give the Scott one some healthy competition. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/billys-boudin-and-cracklin-scott-scott read more

Fast prompt service. Easy in and easy out. Great selection of meats and fried food. Great grocery selection too

I stop at this place every year when we go to our annual church conference the food is absolutely amazing I've never been disappointed I give it a 10 for best boudins ever. read more

Randomly found this place when we made a quick stop, and now it's on my must visit list everytime I'm headed to Houston. No matter the time or day, there's always a line in this place! I highly recommend their seasoned cracklings, and boudin balls. They have a huge ready to cook meat market, made in house sausages etc. I highly recommend dropping by this place if you ever come across it. read more

We stopped by to grab a couple of boudin balls but left with a half dozen, sausage links, and some spices. Great way to take some great Louisiana tasting food home. You can buy it hot or frozen, so we did both! Don't be discouraged by the line. It goes pretty fast. The cashier was patient with us in making our decisions, I think she could tell we were from out of state by the ohh and awwws. Lol! I don't know if it's customary to eat boudin balls for breakfast, but we sure did, and they tasted great. The spice level was not too strong but rich in flavor, both crawfish and shrimp. I didn't really like the green onion one, but everyone else did, so it may be my tastebuds. The winner winner boudin eater was a tie between the pepper jack cheese one and the shrimp one. Next time, I'll buy more of those. read more

Went this morning and was greeted with much attitude. Boudin was greasy. Will not be returning to this location !

Incredible Boudin. Love that I can pick up stock for my freezer and get some hot and fresh at the same time.

Billy's is the best! Can't beat the boudin balls and egg rolls! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not as crazy pack as the Scott location, but equally as good. Must gets are: Boudin, boudin balls (regular and pepper jack), boudin roll ups (regular and pepper jack) They also have other goods, make sure to check them out!

WOW!!! One of the best Christmas presents this year was Boudin Balls from Billy's!!! Love the spice...I am still able to eat the ones I have in the refrigerator & they have kept their spice & texture!!! Oh yeah, this Louisiana transplant here in Texas is some kinda happy!!! Sarah read more

I see billboards for this place all the time and I finally got my chance to stop! I ordered a smoked boudin and the season cracklings. The smoked boudin was sooo good! Very spicy like I like it! I wish I got more but I got basically enough to sample because I don't like wasting money. The cracklin was good but probably it would be better hot out the grease. My sister had the regular boudin ball and she said it was better than Tony's and if you know anything about Baton Rouge and Tony's then that's saying something. I would definitely be back if I'm in the area. I gave this place 4 out of 5 because I didn't care too much for the customer service. The cashier either didn't want to be there (my sister's opinion) or it's one of the places where locals and regulars come so often that when new customers come in the staff is annoyed by questions and having to explain things (my opinion). Mind you the place wasn't packed at all. So we might try the other location or another cashier read more

The boudin pepper jack egg rolls are amazing and so fresh! Highly recommend this place

Absolutely delicious. We stopped on our way home and filled and ice chest with lots of their frozen boudin, boudin balls, sausage, and crawfish pies! They sell them hot go to or frozen. Frozen was perfect for us bringing them home to family. Super friendly staff helped us pick out the best and most popular items that we "HAVE TO TRY". Update- everything we've tried has been amazing. A few minutes in the air fryer and everything is perfectly cooked! Will be ordering more online if I can't get back to Lafayette soon! read more

Pest boudin balls, great crawfish pies. Workers were nice and the line moved very quickly.
