Gene Cox's Grocery & Meats has been in business for over 50 years, which is a great, boast-worthy…read moreaccomplishment! Cox's is a small, family-run, grocery store with the best meat market in town. Despite the many large grocery store competitors around town, the locals remain loyal to Cox's because of their Southern hospitality and quality products. From the moment you walk in to check-out, the staff are eager to help and answer any questions. On our first visit, we felt very welcomed as we took our time to browse the store. Hot foods are available most of the day, breakfast biscuit sandwiches in the morning and then typical lunch food fare(fried chicken/fish, meat pies, boudin, boudin balls, sausage links) for the rest of the day. We were surprised to find fresh, homemade cracklins for $16.99/lb. A majority of the hearty bite-sized pieces had a good meat:skin proportion. The cracklins had a nice crunch and seasoning, but not too spicy. (Most natives are used to the spicy seasoned cracklins from south La). There is an extensive selection of packaged specialty meats and foods (seasoned pork chops/pork tenderloin/chicken/ribs, stuffed chicken, certified Angus beef, smoked beef patties, twice-baked potatoes) and it was hard to select a few choices because everything looked deliciously mouthwatering! We grabbed a few of them to cook up at home- duck wrapped in bacon and chicken stuffed with crawfish dressing. Catering options are available too, just let them know in advance. The rest of the store is similar to what you would find in the typical convenient store with snacks and beverages, including some local brews. With the Mardi Gras season upon us, Abita Mardi Gras Bock is in stock too! I saw a small display of various jerky flavors and local jarred goodies like fruit, jams, and seasonings. Remember to visit Gene Cox's Grocery & Meats the next time you can't decide what to make for lunch/dinner. You'll be sure to find great food here should you need a little snack or a meal. The carnivore in you will surely be screaming to buy all the specialty meats. And as a rule of thumb, eat and shop local!

The food lasted us the whole week and we were able to share with visitors who stopped by. The fruit was gorgeous and very tasty. The meat and cheese was perfect for making sandwiches or just eating with some crackers. Thank you daily harvest for making it possible for our out of town family to serve us in this way during this difficult time!

Only thing is that they make a limited number of each meal so you need to go early if you have a favorite. This is like an old country store with not much ambiance but who cares if the food is great, the value is good, and the place is clean. Try it on your way to or from Monroe.

Simpson's One Stop has a cafe attached to it which is simple and nothing too fancy but if you are looking for a good hometown place to eat this is it! The food is always hot and delicious but a simple affair. You know that the food has not been sitting under a heat lamp because when you get it you could burn yourself on it. The menu again is really simple mainly hamburgers, catfish, chicken fingers, ect but once again it is delicious! As a side note if you do stop by, when you go in you place your order at the window they give you a ticket then you take that ticket in to the gas station part, grab a drink and pay for it there then you take the ticket back in and turn it in to where you ordered, grab a seat and it will be right out!
