If you're looking for Boudain that only the locals know about, this is the place!! A waitress told…read moreus about Homsi's. It's a convenient store with hidden gems of delicious Boudain. You can buy it hot and ready-to-eat or frozen. I got both!

AND WINE....HELLO…read more Me: Homie...you've been selling yourself short. No one would ever guess, when passing this unassuming temporary building that just beyond those doors lie the sweet sweet nectar of the Gods. NO ONE. That's who. Because for reasons unbeknownst to me, you fail to put your best foot forward. My Mother: It's Hom-SI Me: Your right, It is homie. The selection is based more on personal taste than industry bests. You may not find any of Wine Spectator's top 100 (obviously Homie don't play that) but Homie's favorite spirits are always stocked shelf deep. Somehow Homie's illogical categorization makes finding an acceptable bottle of wine like finding a hidden treasure; ....much like finding the last bit of the best food item on your mom's thanksgiving menu waaaay in the back of the refrigerator (with someone else's name on the top in Sharpie marker). VICTORY. My Mother: No...its HOM-SI's the name of the place is Homsi's Me: Homie you're faithful, tried and true. Your commitment to providing this essential neighborhood service all day on Thanksgiving got many many people through this holiday w/ their not-so-loved ones (YOU know that gropey Uncle or people from the "weird" side of the family). My Mother: "I think you and Homie have gotten a little too familiar with one another." Me: (- _ -) Homie...haters gon' hate, but you're A-OK with me.

Rouses either needs a new IT department in Lake Charles(Nelson) or a totally new computer checkout…read moresystem. My husband and I are in our 70s. We had about $200 of groceries and the one behind us has about $100 maybe more. After unloading onto the belt we were all told "only cash" by the poor cashiers that had that "deer in the headlights" look. This is the second time my husband had this happen in the last few months. Something has to be done or yall lose clientele. Right now we are heading back out but to KROGERS!

I've been gone from the area for a number of years actually more than a few decades so the first…read moretime I saw a Rouse Market here I was just as impressed as I was when they turned the narrow two lane Highway 378 into the massive expressway it is today, for years there were two places to buy groceries in MB there was Market Basket and Sonny's (closed decades ago) which was directly across the street from the now ailing Market Basket who's smoked boudin is legendary and may be one of the few reasons the faithful still trade there - yes it's great there are now choices and even better that there is now competition. Now let me give credit where credits due - Rouses Market is a level above anything in town well at least in Moss Bluff being everyone here still has a Lake Charles address. Oh yea there Walmart Market Place with its parking lot filled 24/7 and then there's Amazon the store that will eventually crush them all as soon as the old touchy feely generation goes to the promise land, but until that time you have to experience a Rouses Market its Louisiana through and through. I mean tell me where you can match the line up I observed today e.g. fried chicken seasoned with crawfish boil seasoning, fresh turtle meat, fresh Louisiana crawfish tails, roux, jars of gumbo, étouffée, shrimp with their head still on and a fricking "king cake" oh yea I could go on and on and on but you get the picture or you just don't care because you stopped in for a loaf of French bread and a Yoo-hoo. I came here looking for something to throw on the grill and found it, the butcher cut me four one inch and a quarter thick ribeyes that any carnivore would crawl through three miles of cypress swamp just to light the grill their cooked on - no seriously these were some serious steaks. But wait one of the things I love about Rouses is that they use "locally sourced" everything when it's available and the quality meets their high standards. If some of this sounds familiar it should for some of you - it's exactly what was said when Market Basket was being built decades ago...

I too have eaten the boudin and it's not bad in saying that boudin made the old fashion way is getting harder and harder to find and there are very few places that has the original recipe or uses the ingredients or goes through the trouble to do it right.

I told him that today was my birthday and he said "oh I should've given you the birthday discount". I was like ummm ok? thanks. Paid full price and left.
