Get ready to let the good times roll when you walk through the door, the sign above the counter says "Welcome to Cajun Paradise, I'm with couyon" being born and raised in southwest Louisiana I can definitely get the meaning in the correct context, I can also recognize authentic Cajun cooking when it's put down in front of me and mais sha let me tell you these folks are doing it proud. We stopped in here for lunch and ended up with a sampling of what in my opinion is probably the best example of cajun food done right in Houma and for miles around - everything was delicious and the service from Sarah L was outstanding. We started with the Charbroiled Oysters served with toasted french bread, the plump Louisiana oysters were succulent and dipping the french bread in the cajun butter became an obsession, definitely a must do starter - I wasn't leaving here without trying their chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect texture and complex flavors it will make you a believer, my hats off to the chef, definitely authentic - the fried catfish filets and jumbo fried shrimp platters were outstanding although we didn't do it these are the foundation of an amazing po-boy (maybe next time) - all the sides were exceptional from the fried okra and onion rings to my personal favorite the skillet fried potatoes and who could leave without a few beignets served hot covered in powdered sugar - what a meal they should have a place to lay down in the back for a "cajun nap". In my opinion if you craving some authentic cajun dishes you can't go wrong here, the portions are nice and the prices are very reasonable. Our schedule didn't allow us to return as we had planned but will definitely return when we are back in the area... read more

I was quite pleased with Boudreau and Thibodeau's Cajun restaurant. The fried jumbo shrimp were perfectly cooked and not over cooked or over breaded. I got the red beans and rice for a side and they were great and seasoned perfectly. Not too spicy. I will definitely go there again. read more

It's been a minute since I've driven into Louisiana and my first time down to Houma for business. We stopped here our first night in town and was so impressed we brought our business partner the next day for lunch. The service is great! We love Tabitha and the food is cajnunazing! The inside is just as nostalgic as the out and we will probably go one more time before heading out. Great job keeping it fresh!! read more

Was in Houma during my birthday weekend and my in-laws recommended this spot. It was amazing. Wish I could back. Gave 4 stars due to the margarita I got did not contain any patron. It was sad then the food made up for it! The place is a respectable hole in the wall. Genuine Louisiana taste and flavor! I got the stuffed shrimp and was so glad I did. Staff was very friendly and felt very homey here. Totally recommend! read more

Boudreau & Thibodeau's Cajun Cookin' - Jambalaya, seafood gumbo, crawfish pie - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

Solid place for Cajun fare (tons of options), fairly priced, good service. We got the crawfish etoufee, seafood gumbo, friend catfish with sides of hush puppies, cut corn, and potato salad, and bread pudding. All food was solid. Seafood gumbo was particularly good. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through town. For any Midwesterners, you may find the potato salad a little bland. Was expecting a bit more but it was okay. Next time I would skip and get a different side. Most locals seemed to order 1/2 pound of boiled seafood. read more

Excellent food and service. Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit. The seafood gumbo is very good. I went with the crawfish étouffée with a side of red beans. Delicious. read more

7-15-24 I stopped in and ordered the Grilled Trio, fish chicken & shrimp. It was very good, but a little on the salty side. I also ordered the steamed veggies with a salad. I like that they have healthier options on the menu. Its hard to find good restaurants in the area, that actually give healthier options to order. Since my last review, I have changed my eating habits. I no longer eat FRIED foods. I did enjoy my meal. And would recommend anyone looking for healthier options, you can find some here! The service was great! Pretty fast! I went at 3:30pm Atmosphere was nice too. read more

Boudreau & Thibodeau's Cajun Cookin' - Seafood platter fried okra & corn nuggets as my sides - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

Recommended by the super friendly locals. Good service. I have never been called "ma'am" so many times in one sitting. And that's a good thing. Food was ok. Crawfish pie was my fave. Crust was slightly sweet and good. Seafood in the pie was really fresh tasting. Seafood gumbo was lack luster. No depth of flavors. Shrimp tasted so fresh. Beignets were nothing special. Fried green tomatoes were not green and thus not tangy. Corn meal coating was under seasoned. Overall, I won't be back but it was a good dining experience for the friendly staff and the homey atmosphere. read more

Well, kudos to Boudreau and thibodaux. We had reservations at Cajun Critters at 6:45. At 9:08 we still have not received our food. People came and went and they all ate around us. For four of us, we had four drinks, a beer and a Coke and one appetizer it was over $100. Well when we left there we came to Boudreau and Thibodaux for a wonderful meal see pictures below and we received our meal and under 10 minutes. read more

Wow!!! This place is amazing....the grilled oysters were fantastic; just enough of everything and still able to taste the oyster. The seafood gumbo had the right flavor even though I prefer a darker roux. The shrimp poboy was unbelievable....tons of shrimp and all cooked perfectly. To wrap my lunch up, I had homemade pecan bread pudding. Let me say FANTASTIC!!! The top had crystallized sugar then covered in rum sauce. The restaurant itself is kinda cool and it stays busy. The great food is definitely pulling the people. I would highly recommend eating here!! read more

Authentic and outstanding, this restaurant brings the heat both literally and figuratively. I came here with my wife and her brother and sister in law to try some real Cajun food and we hit the jackpot. There were only Louisiana license plates in the parking lot and only authentic local cuisine on the menu. If you're ever in the area, make a bee line for this place. read more

This was plan B since places in Houma have limited menus between 2-5p. We enjoyed ourselves. Food and service were on point. Multiple B&T stories posted if you choose to enjoy them. Crawfish pies, boiled shrimp, seafood gumbo and B&T special took long to arrive but they were tasty. Potatoes and corn were $2.99 extra each and that's a bit pricey in my opinion. Bathrooms clean. read more

Never understood the crawfish thing until I ate at this restaurant! It was Amazing! Their seasoning was just fantastic and we ate seconds. Another revelation were the boudin balls. I never really thought much of those either until I tried it here. We had a great meal here and went twice in two days so that says something. One of us had the crawfish pasta and she really didn't like it but even that isn't enough to reduce the rating. read more

I am 54 , have lived in Louisiana my entire life, and cannot even guess how many times or places that I have had shrimp.... this place without question was The Best that I've ever eaten. We drove in from Covington to meet up with our Houma friends for dinner. When they asked what we felt like eating we said some good bayou seafood, and they said then Boudreau & Thibodeau's is where we should go. We did, and got the boiled shrimp appetizer... fantastic! For dinner I got the jumbo fried shrimp, even better!! Let me tell you, if you want delicious shrimp then you definitely don't want to skip trying this place. read more

The food was spot on! We enjoyed out seafood gumbo with white rice. We had it to go, because of bad wether coming. My favorite was the Cole slaw and hush puppies. The mushrooms were very spicy. The parking lot is a little tricky, so be careful pulling and parking. I try to visit here when I am in town. read more

Apparently the locals love this place as it was busy on a Friday evening but we had issues... First being Fried Green Tomatoes, $10 for three small slices of mush. Grilled shrimp was obnoxiously salty. As in spit it out salty. Someone not our server came by to ask about the food and seemed surprised at our negative feedback. We declined a remake on the shrimp, but the only thing offered up was a half-hearted "I'll let 'em know" regarding our comments. The Boudreau & Thibodeau stories on the wall & table while meant to be cute, were too hokey, especially when you're with kids old enough to read and the subject matter includes spouses physically fighting and women's underwear. We'd pass on ever going back, but I'm sure some would disagree... read more

Excellent food. Extraordinary customer service! They don't take reservations but we arrived early and they accommodated our family of 10 easily. The food was exceptional. I can recommend the boiled shrimp (fresh & easy to peel), fried seafood platter, fried okra, seafood gumbo, grilled shrimp, grilled chicken, hush puppies, best fried okra I've ever eaten. Everything was great! Truly outstanding experience for each of us. read more

Absolutely delicious! We went with some locals who recommended the spot and it did not disappoint. I appreciate that they have tons of options so every family member is bound to find something they like. The place is very small for how many tables and people they fit in it lol but you definitely get the family vibe in there. The waitress was attentive and checked on us frequently despite it being super busy in there. I got the crawfish and crab cake with creole sauce and it was absolutely delicious. There was so much flavor packed into each bite ! There was a wait but it moved quickly and the food was definitely worth the wait. I do not recommend coming here with a large group but I do recommend coming! I would drive from NOLA for this spot ! read more

I am very pleased to report that I received a call from the owner of Boudreau & Thibodeau's. He told me he had read my remark card that I left at the restaurant and my Yelp review. He was very polite and apologetic and asked if he could mail me something to win back our business. Thank you sir! read more

I highly recommend Boudreau & Thibodeau's in Houma, LA. I live in New Orleans and I traveled to Houma to go - it is great! The atmosphere is great! I love that there are jokes on the tables and all over the walls. It is very cute! For appetizers, I suggest the crab, spinach, and artichoke dip and the corn nuggets! For my entree, I got the stuffed fish. The fish was pretty good, but the crabby patty it was stuffed with was DELICIOUS. For sides, I ordered macaroni and cheese and hush puppies. The hush puppies were really good!! For dessert, you HAVE TO ORDER Turtle on da Half-Shell! It was great and everyone should order it! I will definitely be back! read more

I have never been to the area but I went to an event so of course I hit Yelp to find a place for an early dinner. This place was spot on. We walked in and we're seated immediately. Food came out fast and was fresh! Get the boudin links as an app. This was honestly some top tier boudin from a restaurant. I was hesitant at first but so glad I chose to go ahead and get it. My husband said the alligator was one of the freshest he had gotten from a restaurant as well and wasn't chewy. The other seafood options were also great as well. Service was great and if I'm ever back in the area I will try more as they have a very extensive menu. read more

I died and gone to Cajun food heaven at this very cool joint in Houma, Louisiana. The Crab and Corn bisque is so so so flavorful. Just burst in unknown good secret Cajun spices. The Boudin (pronounced boo da... I think). To die for. We have the seafood boiled plate with cork, sausage, dun crabs, snow crabs, shrimps, onion and potatoes. What more can anyone ask for. Kami was our food liaison and just insanely awesome. Can't say enough about her. Remember to support your local eateries so we all do not starve...... read more
