In Scott, the boudin competition is in full force. Within a couple blocks, you can find an…read moreimpressive concentration of Cajun specialty food stores. Don's has the classic gas station setup, a ready to eat counter with BBQ and Cajun options, snack aisles, and fridge full of Cajun specialties. We ordered cracklings, boudin balls and crawfish pie. The boudin balls were the stand out. The cracklings were fresh and crunchy, but the seasoning is underwhelming. The crawfish pie missed the mark completely, not much crawfish, very doughy and the seasoning was pretty bland. Compared to the undisputed champion (looking at you, Billy's) with huge lines 24/7, Don's is a good option if you're willing to trade some of the quality with the convenience of no wait time.

If there is a huge line at another boudin or crackling spot, Don's can usually deliver a comparable…read morelevel of Cajun foods at a much shorter wait in the line. They have ready made plate meals, a gas station feel drink option, and the cooked boudin balls, egg rolls, cracklings, etc that are offered by Billy's or Best Stop. Pretty decent and it's a good option if you don't want to wait 30 minutes in line at Billy's.

Because I don't want you to miss this little gem. Sure, you can find similar food along I-10 just about anywhere in Louisiana. So what makes this place stand out? The employees -- and some long-forgotten items you never thought you'd see again. Cracklins, pork AND chicken. Yes, I said chicken cracklins. A variety of boudin balls. And don't skip on what's in the frozen and refrigerated section either. Stop by if you can, and bring an ice chest. Oh, and please follow the speed limit! If you didn't get caught in Port Barre, you will definitely get caught in Krotz

C'est Bon! I was so excited to come to this Cajun grocery…read morestore! This store is located in Breaux Bridge, which is the crawfish capitol of the world, so you know it's gotta be good. Walking in, you can see that they are serious about keeping things cool- this is one of very few grocers that I've seen that sells huge blocks of ice, not little cubes in a bag, but big bricks of the cold stuff. Inside the store, you'll see all kinds of Cajun foods that you can't get in Yankee land. I enjoyed looking through their pre-made foods for their southern style cooking. Be sure to check out their sandwiches. Everything looked delicious! Someone makes them some of their local foods- I got some pepper jelly that was made especially for this location! The store was a bit dated, and not as fancy as some that you may have been in, but it makes up for it in charm. They have lots of the best Cajun brands, as well as some national ones as well. The prices were a bit higher than some other stores, but you're out here in the bayou, so it's hard to get. The clerks were friendly though. There's a small liquor store in the corner of the store. They sell all the national brands, but don't expect anything wild.

It is a bright, complex flavor that is a satisfying whole, each bite a joy. That is for their regular boudin - - but they also have smoked, boudin, a nah cheaux (nacho) boudin, a ghost pepper boudin, a pepper jack cheese boudin - - the full range of their meats and sausages in their meat case is staggering. Fantastic butcher, great place - - though so out of the way it misses the I-10 tourist parade. Giant array of spice mixes available for sale too. Worth any kind of pretty detour, often along some real pretty highway.

We got the 8-piece dark meat chicken only, plus a biscuit and a medium rice dressing, and it was a lot of food for two people. The chicken was super juicy with a little kick of spice, crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. The biscuit was bigger than your average biscuit--soft, buttery, and really good. The rice dressing could use a little more flavor. It reminded me of Popeyes, but with its own unique touch. Definitely worth a visit!

The corn nuggets were definitely the highlight; they were really good. My Coke was a little flat, and the fried Oreos were disappointing.

Hopefully my next visit is a much better experience. The worker at the counter (can't remember her name) was friendly, respectful, and provided great customer service. They were welcoming and made the experience pleasant despite the issues with the food.
