This review is based on my visit on June 25, 2025…read more I have seen this advertised in the Saint Joseph's church bulletin for a long time and finally decided to run in here instead of Piggly Wiggly. I run in because I'm going to make a Cajun spaghetti so I need ground meat, sausage, and decided to just do a jar sauce instead of making it from scratch. Was definitely having a conversation with one of the workers who was stocking the shelves on the spaghetti aisle about making it from scratch or the jar. Well, I decided to go jar and bring everything up to the counter and had the pleasure of encountering Edra. I put my things on the counter, keeping in mind I have never been into the store before and chose to go here over Piggly Wiggly, Edra begins checking me out and looks at me and says everyone is coming in here for spaghetti today. I say oh we all must be on the same wavelength. Then she proceeds to say, "y'all are all lazy because y'all don't make your sauce from scratch." It took every being of my cell to not react to this very out of line statement. I don't care who you are, how old you are, what position you hold calling customers that are choosing to come to your store over other grocery stores that I had to pass up to get here is flat out rude. I just looked at her smiled and said I hope that you have a great day. She did not bother to hand me the receipt or the bags I had to walk around the counter, grab the bags and the receipt and I walked out. Needless to say, I will not be shopping there anymore and will happily choose Piggly Wiggly any day. It really pains me to say this because I do believe in local shops and if it would've been any other day, I probably would have not been very nice to Edra

Spicy taste straight from the swamplands of Lafayette. It is a must stop for us, on our way to Florida each year. The boudin and cracklings are sold by weight and in my opinion, very formidable. Some may even say, around here, "C'est bon!" The inside has a few tables to sit and eat as well as a few picnic tables outside. The bathrooms are clean and make a nice pit stop for our road trip. Just make sure you Geaux early enough before they ain't dere no more.

It is pronounced Lag-Knee-App, make sure you say it that way a lot when you come visit us. All the cool kids do. Best Stop is a must stop for anyone road tripping along I-10 in Louisiana. Who needs a Bucees when you have this place. The aforementioned boudin balls are the best road trip snack ever. Fried spicy, cheesy, delectable delights. On my most recent visit, I got their in house made beef jerky, homemade pork skins, the boudin balls and some jalapeno honey mustard to take home. All of it wonderful. One of my buddies who I was road tripping with, was smart enough to bring a cooler. He bought frozen boudin balls, a few pounds of boudin, some smoked sausage and some sort of stuffed chicken. This place has all kinds of meat! I was jealous and I will definitely bring a cooler next time.

I love this place. I'm new here to Lafayette and I was looking for a butcher shop. Someone told…read moreme about Martin Kirk.

It's a small place with really nice people working there...who took the time to tell me everything I asked about their meat and deals. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for fresh meat and not packaged.

I decided on the two day shipping which was around 16$ and then including the required dried ice was 18$. I spent around 120 on my entire order. I ordered 4 crawfish pies, stuffed chicken, sausages and boudin. I received my order and everything was PERFECT. It was well packaged and my items were completely frozen with no thawing. Super impressed and pleased. I'm excited to place future orders.

One great thing about Louisiana is that there are foods here you won't find anywhere else. Boudin…read more Cracklins and if you venture into Hebert's, stuffed boneless chickens. What's a boneless stuffed chicken? Well. Just that. It's a deboned chicken that is stuff with a variety of dressings which could be based with alligator, rice, crawfish, shrimp, or cornbread just to name a few from memory. These chickens are absolutely wonderful to cook and delicious to eat. You basically put it into a pan, bake for an hour or so (check each one for the time and temp) and then boom, dinner for 4. I have friends and relatives back home in Chicago who have me bring these up frozen on a regular basis (and by the dozen I might add). If you want the best stuffed chickens on the planet, Hebert's is your stop. Enjoy!

After leaving Baton Rouge heading west on I-10 the traffic situation deteriorated quickly as I…read moreapproached the Atchafalaya Basin due to an accident and I knew I needed to find an alternative route or risk sitting in traffic for hours. I took the Route 411 exit and headed towards Frogmore to catch Highway 190 through the heart of Cajun Country - there is so much to see and memories to reflect upon traveling this historic route, to most it might seem somewhat boring but the sugar cane, rice fields and crawfish farms are beautiful in my eyes. This part of Louisiana still has my heart and still represents the culture I still cherish and is home to the people I love. The scenic drive across the Atchafalaya River at Krotz Springs through Opelousas brings you to Eunice a community built on tradition where contracts are still sealed with a handshake and you always get greeted with a hug and a kiss. It would be impossible for me to drive through here without stopping for some boudin or cracklins so where better to go get some authentic Cajun cuisine than at the Eunice Superette on a Saturday morning. This place never disappoints the delicious smells of something cooking in the back surrounds you as you walk through the doors and that all familiar sound of that glorious Cajun Music piped throughout the store makes it impossible not to smile and puts a little two step in your gait. Taking a tour of the meat case is a tour you'll likely never forget, most of the offering are seasoned, stuffed and smoked and the aromas permeates the glass case it seems. The meats here are butchered locally with great care, the cuts are traditional and not something you'll find at most retail groceries outlets. Today my interest is in the fresh hot cracklins a little snack for the road - this uniformly chopped pork belly is like nothing else on the planet the fat is rendered down until the finish product is crispy then covered in a spicy cajun seasoning and placed in a small brown paper sack its absolutely delicious- my dad made these at home long before they became a delicacy fetching twenty dollars a pound. The staff here was so friendly and probably family, always providing more than you'd ever expect and always a greeting with a big smile and a goodbye with a "take care now". There are somethings you hope will never change and this is one of those treasures that still feels like it did when I was a kid. This is what a hometown business should feel like...
