    This place is awesome. Super friendly folks and airstrip onsite makes it a convenient stop for pilots.

    Blackened Oysters
    Mark C.

    Absolutely outstanding food. The owner was very responsive on Facebook and happens to be a fellow pilot. He had recommendations of the blackened oysters which are insane and could probably finish 3-4 orders as an entree. Also had the BBQ crabs, and wife had the Bangin BBQ shrimp! It was all gone by the time we got done with it. The best part is if you're a pilot with a plane, there's a nice parking area adjacent to the car parking lot west of the north end of the grass runway. That runway is easily one of the best grass runways I've landed on. Very smooth and manicured and same goes for the parking area. Mind your prop blast taking off to the south on runway 21. I landed to the north on runway 3. Absolutely can't wait to come back. Most importantly, aside from being able to fly in, the prices were reasonable and the service was outstanding. We can't wait to come back. Thanks to the team at DI's. Y'all have another fan.

    Onion Bayou Blossom - Be prepared these things are HUGE!

    This place always shows Southern Hospitality! The seafood is ALWAYS AMAZING! I always choose from a variety of these every visit because no matter what I order, the dish tastes great. This restaurant is probably the most successful true, mom-and-pop Cajun restaurant that is truly authentic. I've uploaded a photo of the Bayou Onion Blossom - Be prepared these things are HUGE! They're definitely ordered to share. The raw oysters are always good. The BBQ blue crabs might be my favorite thing to order during season. They're not what you would think though! They're not covered in bbq sauce at all. Just think of them as extremely seasoned crabs cooked on a pit (I'm assuming a pit). Any of the boiled seafood options are always great! The seasonal boiled crawfish is always well seasoned full of spicy goodness and boiled well. I've recently tried the BBQ Oysters due to the previous limited menu, and it surprised me how amazing they were!

    Barbecued Crabs

    If it's barbecue crabs you are looking for, you found the right place! My first time eating barbecue crabs and they were awesome! Friendly owner and staff, definitely worth the drive and prices are good too!

    Blueberry bread pudding - delicious
    Sean F.

    My family and I really enjoyed the live band -- The Cajun Stompers. They even let my little son practice playing the spoons and the triangle. As far as the food goes, I didn't care for the boiled crawfish; it was too dirty and gritty. I ordered a ribeye with etouffee and it was great, perfectly cooked. Blueberry bread pudding had a pleasant almond flavor and was a great way to finish the meal.

    Fried crawfish and shrimp platter

    This is my best friend's family's favorite Cajun restaurant. A little detour from I-10 on the way from Houston to Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, it's in the middle of nowhere amidst crawfish farms and rice fields. The staff is so small town and cute. Super friendly. Everything is available on the dinner menu for lunch except, unfortunately, the boiled crawfish. Fried crawfish, yes, but not boiled. On nights, they have live music and dancing and such as well - it's a pretty popular place. Our waitress told us about it (even though my best friend, who took me there, already knew) and said that they could open the sliding doors in front of the stage so we could take a look if we wanted to. We said that was okay, but I half expected to pull away the wooden "curtain" and find the Chuck E. Cheese/Showbiz Pizza robotic animals at their instruments. :P The fried crawfish was lightly crisp and addictive, as were the fried okra. The charbroiled oysters were huge (in size and in number) and came swimming, out of shell, in a lemony butter sauce with more butter to dip them in. They were so rich and there was so much of it that even with us helping, my famished friend could not finish them. A shame. Actually, none of us could finish all our food. Healthy place this is not. But for authentic no-frills country Cajun food and hospitality, this is it. And for locals' nightly entertainment, there is no other.

    After spending much of the morning in Jennings touring the VA Home and meeting with the staff we…read morewant to experience a piece of the local culture for lunch. Babineaux's Cafe definitely met the criteria, it's definitely a part of the local history and culture. The exterior looks a little worn and the parking well it's random to say the least I think the locals here park wherever they feel comfortable and that's okay there's plenty of options. We were greeted by the friendly staff as soon as we walked in and found a seat without a wait although the place had already began to fill for lunch service. There's a lot of standard fare on the printed menus but my eyes went directly to the daily specials handwritten on the chalkboard which changes daily. The staff here is so efficient and quick to describe the specials and grab your drink order and of course they have freshly brewed sweet tea. After looking over the board I could not resist the home cooking option, a perfectly fried pork-chop, green beans, corn and of course a healthy portion of rice and gravy, it was outstanding so much like my momma made, we also ordered a club sandwich on toast, no frills just down home deliciousness. This is definitely a gem in the community and a must try if you want a taste of the local culture and to experience the unmatched hospitality from the people in southwest Louisiana, this is what I miss and always look forward to when returning to the state I was born and raised in...

It's not huge inside but we had no trouble getting a comfortable seat at lunchtime. There's a menu and there's a board of lunch specials. The friendly and attentive service couldn't be beat. If you see the grilled pork ribeye on the specials board you need to get it. The tastiest and most moist pork you may ever eat. The home cooked style vegetables will just make your meal a home run. We are already hoping that the timing on our next trip west coincides with lunchtime here and hopefully the grilled pork ribeye will be on the specials board.

    My Dad and I drove 50 minutes each way to eat seafood here, honestly I was a little skeptical after…read morearriving and only seeing a mostly empty parking lot then again it was mid-afternoon. Well after walking through the door that was held open by Jade who turned out to be our server my attitude immediately changed and I kinda knew this was going to be a excellent experience. My 90 year old dad never goes anywhere without his wheelchair which can come with some challenges but Jade took the time to ensure it was not an issue here and made my dad feel comfortable before taking our drink order I had a coca-cola since I was driving and my dad ordered an ice cold Miller Lite in a bottle and a glass of water. The selections here are many but we had decided before we started driving here we both wanted boiled crabs for sure among a few other things. We both ordered a cup of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo to start served with white rice it was absolutely delicious with a dark roux and very flavorful as I expected from these parts. Then the entrées, I knew immediately I wanted the blue point boiled crabs and shrimp with potatoes and corn cooked extra spicy, even though it's messy being the crabs are boiled live and there's work to get to the delicate sweet meat it's worth the effort especially since these blue crabs were very big which made me very happy. My dad decided on the fried shrimp basket that came with fries and a side salad which made me question his choice since I know he loves crab but maybe the blue crabs was a little more work than he wanted to tackle so I ordered him a side of snow crabs which he loves and is much less of a mess, this made him raise his brow but once the food arrived he enjoyed it all not only because it was so delicious but mostly because he and I were sharing a meal that we have enjoyed all my life. The service here was exceptional I know the place wasn't busy but Jade paid extra to ensure we had the best experience and really catered to my dad making this a memorable experience that we both will never forget. This was definitely worth the drive, the food was fresh and delicious and we both left knowing we will do this again - it was a good day...

The service was great and it honestly did not take long to get our food. I ordered the crawfish with sausage potatoes and corn and some shrimp spicy and honestly it was delicious but not as spicy as i thought it would be I would say it was mild I even ordered extra spice but would go back again
