The sides were a little less flavorful and I was disappointed. I ordered green beans, cabbage, red beans and yams. Yams were good. I'd order chicken and Mae my own sides.

They also had Fresh Made Pork Rinds, no worries one day I'm leaving the pork alone I decided to get the bag of Fresh Pork Rinds. They had frozen meats to go and gumbo to go. We did not grab meat because we still have a whole before we head home, they do have you a frozen bag on sale right next to the freezer and Fridge for your convenience. You should definitely stop by while visiting Louisiana! The Service was quick and easy and the Ambience was casual and comfortable with outdoor seating. Parking Ok, if you fear trucks do not come here

Since meeting my boyfriend, I've heard nonstop about In-Laws. From day one--right after I mentioned…read moreI went to college in New Orleans--he's been hyping this place up. So after performing at New Orleans Jazz Fest this past weekend, we finally made a stop to see if it lived up to the praise. Pulling up, it honestly looks like a simple gas station pit stop--the kind of place truck drivers frequent (and judging by the steady flow of trucks, that checks out). But stepping inside was a completely different experience. It was clean, open, and surprisingly welcoming. Before even ordering, we found ourselves in the frozen section grabbing items to take home--boudin, deer sausage, gumbo... you name it, they had it stocked and ready. It already felt like one of those hidden gems you're glad someone put you on to. Then came the food. My boyfriend has been talking about their fried ribs for over a year, so of course we had to order them. He also got chicken wings, while I kept it light with Cajun boudin balls and green beans. First bite of the boudin ball? I was pleasantly surprised. Flavorful, slightly doughy, but still really good. But let's get to the star of the show... The fried ribs. As someone who's lived in Texas for over 20 years, I had never even heard of fried ribs. But baby... these were it. Perfectly seasoned all the way through, incredibly tender, and honestly--you could barely even tell they were fried. Just juicy, flavorful, and done right. This review is really just to say: fried ribs are real... and In-Laws does them right. If you're ever driving between Texas and Louisiana--somewhere around Lake Charles or Lafayette--do yourself a favor and stop here. 10/10. Highly recommend.

In my opinion, the smoked boudin here is second best in the area to Market Basket on Nelson in Lake Charles. They get a whole extra Yelp! star from me just for the boudin. The brisket is trimmed, very tender, with a nice smoke ring. The BBQ sauce is of the tomato based variety with a definite honey flavor. A pretty good sweet and tangy sauce. The dirty rice is pretty standard fare that is available everywhere and doesn't stand out as being special. The cole slaw was average, with large cut cabbage and carrots, drenched in sauce. I'm a bread pudding connoisseur of sorts and I think theirs was good, it could be a little firmer, but I attribute it's softness to the type of bread used when preparing. The rum sauce was good as well. *Part of the Southwest Louisiana Boudin Trail
