When on a road trip, friends and I always tend to stop by Chicken on the Bayou & Boudin Shop…read more It's a simple spot to stop in on if you want to either pick up some sustenance while on the road. Ambiance: 3/5 Parking is in front and next to the gas station. Once inside, there's table seating inside with ordering done at the front Restrooms could use an upgrade, but help get the job done. Food: 5/5 I looked over the menu and decided to try the Bayou Sampler. Comes with 2PC chicken (your choice dark or white meat or for extra cost can get mixed), red beans & rice, boudin link & biscuit. All had good flavor, except the biscuit, it was ok. Chicken wasn't greasy but moist with flavor. Red beans also very tasty and boudin link just as good. Service: 5/5 The counter server was friendly and so were the cooks, while it did take a while to get my food, it's cooked to order so that's understandable. Once I got my food, I wanted to take a photo and realized that my order was missing the chicken. Thankfully I had not left before checking it (rule of thumb for any to go order, check your food) The counter server was quick to speak to the kitchen and they brought out my full plate in short time.

Amazing service. Loved our waitress Alex!! Pretty…read moreaffordable seafood boil, was $25 for 3lb of crawfish and $25 for 4 clusters of snow crab. - Boiled crawfish: very fresh and tasty. Not too salty, make sure to add some corn and potatoes as it is not included in the order. - Snow crab: was just okay. Would recommend trying the shrimp or others instead! Very spicy and not very meaty. Big fan of the homey ambiance inside, and very clean!

I live nearby & eat here frequently since the 1950's…read more This is an excellent & consistent true Cajun restaurant; one of the very best. There is ZERO way Pat's gets only 3 stars. I suspect chicanery on that. Try the crawfish bisque, a World's BEST. Everything here is very good to excellent. My only complaint ever is that there is no potato salad. Plenty parking in partly shaded lot. Views of Bayou Amy & just across West Levee from the Henderson Pond part of Atchafalaya Wilderness area.

The Stuffed Mushrooms are a must. They are stuffed with crab and other goodness. Our family was also always get a mix of stuffed fish, alligator bites, turtle soup, when available , and a burger.

I grew up eating smothered cooking multiple times a week and since my grandma passed I haven't had it and it's been a real devastation. Glenda's smothered ribs took me right back to lunch with Grandma. I cried. This is AUTHENTIC home Louisiana cooking! Compared to anything in New Orleans this is the meal I was craving to come back too! Glenda has such a kind heart and it shows in her cooking. I can't wait to come back!

I found this place after looking for some local cuisine on Yelp. Some of the reviews set the…read moreexpectation of what to expect inside & unfortunately, it was worse than I expected. There's nothing wrong with being a hole in the wall business, because I've found that those are usually the hidden gems; however, there must be a point where you need to take a step back & put yourself into the customer's shoes & see what they see. Had I not read the good reviews about the food, I would've walked right back out. I just kept an open mind & gave it a chance. It really needs a good de-cluttering, organizing & cleaning - there was just stuff everywhere. One can only think that if it looks that way to the public, how does it look where the food is prepared? The food wasn't bad though; I had the smothered ribs which were really tender, and my husband enjoyed the red beans. I really wanted to like the corn but it was a little too spicy for me, which is what you'd expect for Cajun food of course! Glenda & her employee were both very nice. Although I'm not from this area, I don't think I'd return if I was until it had a much needed overhaul.

Sydnie Mae, named after Sydnie Mae Durand, is the best restaurant in Breaux Bridge…read more Also, Sydnie Mae is related to me. Well, if you believe my mom's theory that anyone named Durand is related to us. To be fair, I have already found one actual relative using this exact logic, so who knows about ol' SMD. Anyway, this place is insanely popular, requires reservations, and there is a reason for that. The food is awesome. Gumbo? Awesome. Etouffee? Awesome. Steaks? Damn great. The pork chop? Hell yes. And then there is the Breaux Bread. Get away from me, Satan. That stuff is way too good. Like, lawd have mercy, why would you do this to me good. They also usually have live music on the weekends, often a solo singer, and every time we have been the music has been great. It adds to the whole atmosphere without taking over the room. The staff is super fun, the cocktails are great, they have a really good bourbon selection, and the wine list is better than you might expect. This is not some little place surviving because it happens to be in Breaux Bridge. Sydnie Mae is a legitimately great restaurant that would be great anywhere. If you find yourself in the Breaux, get to Sydnie Mae. And if anyone happens to know whether Sydnie Mae Durand is actually related to me, let me know. My mom is probably already convinced.
