Food was amazing, nice quiet restaurant on HWY 90. Salad was fresh and light. Took the team for lunch they enjoyed it as much as I did.

Great place, great owner, great story, and awesome food! The service a was great, too.

. C'est BON The best of its genre. Real rural Cajun specialty foods & Southern cooking at its tastiest. During seasons, excellent boiled local & "imported" seafoods. From IH10, take "Jennngs" or Estherwood Exits, follow old US90 to C'est BON. Plenty off street parking, plus truck/trailer lot across the highway. One major CAVEAT: If you want the plate lunch "special", go EARLY ! They do run-out regularly. Some items can be very spicy; if this is an issue for you, ask up-front. We just love this place !

Crawfish and crabs are excellent!! These pictures are 2025 menu.. Yummy!! Get there early 4:00pm for boiled seafood!! read more

My coworker and I had a work event and stopped here after some local recommendation, and the food was so good, but the service was on a whole different level! We had a flat tire and didn't know what to do, and the owner and his son came to our rescue and took the screw out of our tire, patched us up, and refilled the tire. The workers were so friendly, and gave us lots of great recommendations for food and dessert. We got shrimp poboys and the Pistolette bread. Leaving C'est Bon well fed and with peace of mind knowing I can continue on the rest of my drive safely! read more

Very busy. The boils were good but the gumbo and sausage was not. The drinks were good Af and cheap. It's far out so you have to eat there. I didn't enjoy the atmosphere because it was riddled with flies. read more

A must go place. The choices and many and the food is awesome! The way it's set up is perfect; order and then get the food from the bar/boil pot area. Super friendly and helpful. read more

What a gem! Needed to stop on a road trip and seeing as we were on the road a little later than usual, missed our normal stops. Did a quick search and found this place a little off the beaten path. Hands down the BEST crawfish etouffee I have had when eating out! They package the rice and etoufee separate which is so appreciated!!! And it was seasoned to perfection and no skimping on the meat. The catfish poboy was DELICIOUS!!! The bread is different than typical po-boy bread. It is somewhere between a Mexican torta and a hotdog bun. It was fresh and maybe house made. The catfish is battered, seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The slices are thick and succulent. Everything is served hot and fresh. I've already been back and plan to go again. It adds a few minutes to an already long drive but is completely worth it! read more

Those stars are all based off the food because I've had better service at the DMV. Six of us stopped by for lunch specifically for crawfish but they don't boil until 5 pm. I substituted the crawfish for a shrimp poboy and it did not disappoint- HUGE fried shrimp took over the sandwich. I also nibbled someones crawfish etoufee which was so flavorful and tasty. The place was clean, so were the bathrooms. There is a separate bar off of the dinning room that seems like it would be lively at night. This roadside stop is a must for my Arizona relatives when visiting family in Welsh, now I see why. Can't wait to try the boiled crawfish! read more

Best boiled seafood around. Love the atmosphere and all the other regular menu items! Service is always top notch and little to no wait.

The food is always awesome and delightful to the taste buds. You have to come taste the food to believe me. The beer is always ice cold and there signature drinks are surpered. read more

Excellent food! From the boiled seafood to his bbq plate lunch , we have NEVER had a bad meal!

You guys have to try this great food and friendly people in Louisiana. It was well worth the drive out here

You're gonna have to get off the Interstate to find this great little local restaurant, but it's well worth the effort. I've been eating there for fifteen years or so and never had a bad meal. Crowded at lunch time is about the worst thing you can say about it, which constitutes a good review if you think about it a little. Local people eat here, because the food is good, that's for sure. Places with bad food don't last long in Acadiana. Lunch specials are always worth a look and they have all the usual south Louisiana food like gumbo, shrimp, everything. Don't think twice, just go! read more

Best boiled crabs I ever had! Definitely worth the drive! Friendliest employees and good bar area. Can't beat the prices either!

Really wanted a sandwich of some type and happened to stop in here on way to Jennings. Let me say, the shrimp poboy (they call it sandwich) tasted like it was made in momma's kitchen. Big fresh shrimp; all the right sides ( hot fries ) and really good folk. Obviously I can't eat this every day but wanted to toot my horn for this really hidden gem. Well worth the drive. It is all good. read more

omg absolutely the best cajun food ever! Every time we are ever in this area we will return for this fabulous food and service!

As I have traveled around Louisiana, this is my favorite place for crawfish and boiled seafood. No Doubt! read more

C'est Bon - I have traveled all over Louisiana, this is by far, my favorite place for crawfish and boiled seafood - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Mermentau, Louisiana

Doesn't matter where you're coming from, this place is worth the drive. I'm a life-long resident of SWLA and I'm here to tell you, there's no better seafood. If it's boiled, order it. If it's fried, order it. If it comes on rice, ORDER IT! And whatever you choose, order some potato salad and gumbo to go with it. Their prices are extremely reasonable too. I drove six of my closest friends to eat there a couple weeks ago and the tab for all of us was under a $100. Let me assure you, none of us left hungry. Why are you still sitting here? Get in your car and go... NOW!!!! Don't know why but the listing says Morse, LA. This place is in Mermentau - south of Jennings. The phone number is correct if you'd like to call for directions. read more

I thought this place was fantastic. Not a lot of fancy decor. But we got there at lunch time; the staff was slammed, but remained smiling and cordial. The food was fabulous and most ple servings. Highly recommend for Cajun quisine. read more

Great food and even better service! I've tried almost everything on the menu of the years and it's all good! The boiled shrimp, crab and crawfish when in season are fantastic! Prices are a little bit about average but you aren't going to get average food or service here! read more

We came to C'est Bon upon suggestion of a family member that lives in these parts. I love to eat at hole in the wall places that locals frequent. This is one of those places for sure. My wife, mother-in-law and I all had the Shrimp and Crab gumbo. It was very good, plenty of spice (right on the verge of too spicy), plenty of rice served with it and we orders potato salad with some of our gumbo. Potato salad was nothing to write home about. It was like going to a grocery store and getting some yellow potato salad. Not bad, but nothing great. The front order taker even warned us that it was not spectacular so I at least commend them on their honesty. It is truly a "hole in the wall". The restaurant is located in Mermentau, between 12th and 11th street on highway 90. It was fairly busy and we were able to find parking BUT I could see parking possibly being a slight issue. This is not a formal attire place and the fact they have boiled crab, shrimp, crawfish should be plenty of warning not to come dressed up. I would absolutely suggest coming here if you ever visiting anywhere from Lake Charles to Lafayette. It is about 5 miles offset of I-10 on highway 90. read more

Stopped for drinks and see they have extensive menu, good prices, booked seafood etc. Closed Sundays but open 8 am to.9th pm Saturdays!! Need to come try the food sometime soon. read more

These guys catered the crawfish boil for LSWA annual environmental conference in Lafayette this year. We stood in line for a good 45 minutes to an hour for our plates but it was well worth the wait. The crawfish were huge and easy to peel. Spicy, salty, hot! Pass on the dipping sauce because the flavor is outstanding! My lips were swollen and my face started to burn but I didn't care. I had to eat every last one in my plate. I was impressed by their operation, these guys are obviously pros. I highly recommend their catering for anyone who has to feed more than the average crowd. They probably fed around 300 people last night and I guarantee no one left hungry or dissatisfied. read more

Amazing! Definitely worth going out of the way to try. The seasoning was perfect on the crawfish and shrimp. These people sure know their stuff. It's by far the best crawfish I have ever tasted. read more

Girlfriend had the king crab and dungeness crab which were good. The shrimp was a little bit too spicy but overall good restaurant.

We eat at cest bon almost weekly. Highly recommend. The burgers are our go to and the crawfish of course. There isn't a lot of sitting room though so be prepared to wait. read more

Truly the coldest beer around. Has small ice crystals in the can or bottle. Food is authentic Cajun. It's not California Cajun, you know what I mean. Great variety. Great place for family. I pass up several restaurants driving to Cest Bon. read more

Best gumbo on earth. We stop in whenever we are in the area. I often get gumbo to go home with me as well. I have been known to eat lunch and dinner here in the same day. I wish they did not charge for an extra serving of rice, but it makes the gumbo that much better. This place is ultra casual dining, with a wonderful taste bud experience. Ceat Bon! read more

Got the crab burger - crabcake on a burger bun - with tater tots. Crabcake was delicious, fried crispy, good amount of crab. The tator tots were also fried crispy, and there were plenty. Only real option near the Leevac Shipyard in Jennings, but it's a good option. read more

Delicious seafood. Dont bother w/ the Snow Crab. The King Crab blows it away, worth the xtra $4. Boiled shrimp, Crawfish Etouffee, and the Oysters were yummy. Dont come dressed. No foofoo joint here. Tank top, swim trunks and flip flops are perfectly fine. Highly recommended grub! read more

It's early in the season so I understand that the crawfish will be small. They were still delicious though. I'm not giving them 5 stars b/c the crawfish could have had more seasoning. Enjoy the ice cream afterwards. read more

Reviewed by a LOCAL CAJUN!!! THE BEST BOILED SEAFOOD, HANDS DOWN! I eat boiled seafood regularly and my husband and I drive 45 minutes to eat at C'est Bon because there are not any restaurants that compare. My daddy can't even compete with C'est Bon! It's a must try for out-of-towners. We bring friends all the time because of the great authentic Cajun atmosphere. It feels like you are having a crab boil down at the camp!! My happy place! There are lots of other delicious menu items, but none compare to the boiled seafood! read more

Stopped by on our way to fish in Cocodrie. We are from Austin / Lakeway, TX. We red the reviews and it didn't disappoint. Amazing crawfish etouffee and shrimp. We will be in Louisiana for 4 days and this place is going to be hard to beat. This will be a spot we visit again when we drive through. Thanks ! read more

Nothing out of the ordinary. Very disappointed after reading reviews. Lettuce old, bread from grocery store.

I have loved eating here since i was a young child and now I carry that tradition by bringing my family! Always awesome food and ice cold beer! read more

I can't disagree with the review by S.W. but if the crawfish are in season boiled crawfish is the thing to get. This huge barn of a place is always crowded with locals and not-so-locals. This is the opposite of a fancy restaurant. The boiled seafood is dig in up to your elbows good. They provide wash basins soap and towels right in the main restaurant area as well as in the rest rooms. read more

SERIOUSLY THE RUDEST PEOPLE WORK THERE !!! My office loves the gumbo and other tasty treats from Cest Bon. The gumbo is the ONLY reason i gave it 3 stars. Our orders are never under $100, and yet they never get them right and have an attitude like you should be grateful they even helped you when you raise concern about the order. I personally will NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN just because of how RUDE the staff is. read more
