When you're near Lake Charles LA, get off I-10 at highway 165, drive South about 1 mile for some of the best food ever. We arrived at lunchtime and they had BBQ pork steaks with dirty rice & beans. Was some of the best food ever. 105 Hwy 165, Iowa LA 70647 read more

Ordered loaded potato with steak, chicken sandwich and fried catfish. The potato itself was super soft and flavorful the meat could have been more juicy. Order the catfish it was crunchy and yummy. The workers were all nice. read more

I was really excited to walk in and grab some boudin and other items but immediately felt unwelcome and the energy felt weird. I still purchased items because we were in town only for the weekend and I really wanted to try their boudin. I will say the Boudin and all of the food I got was delicious but the unwelcoming demeanor was a turn off. read more

The food is awesome . You will not be disappointed. Good service and a friendly staff.

A week later and I'm still thinking about this place! The staff were so kind and helpful with questions I had and even suggested items. Everything I ordered was delicious. From the boudin to the sausages, you can tell there's history to the recipes. I can't wait to be back here and enjoy their breakfast. HUGE shout out to the young (blonde) sweetheart at the register who rung me up and made me feel welcomed. And if she's reading this, I'm sorry I didn't get your name but your kindness stayed with this little Yankee. read more

The Sunday morning crowd meant the food was fresh and hot- fried catfish corn flour crust was light and crunchy. The Boudin ball had a nice flavor and good texture. Shrimp po-boy was nothing special but good. Not far off the freeway + ! read more

Best place in Louisiana Boudin balls are excellent friendly staff food is always great. First time I discovered this was when I worked in Lake Charles. It's about 10 miles east off I10. I will always go out of my way just to get some Boudin balls there. read more

Ordered large onion ring, got 6 grease rings with all batter knocked off after waiting 25min. This place is a joke poor customer service. Not first time screwing up, i will be giving in laws my business. Rabideaux more like rabidonts. read more

A boudin sandwich!?!?!? Rabideaux's never fail me! This is a MUST stop when I travel to La. Service is always top notch! Consistency is key... Highly recommend! read more

Great food, we had the kabob, greens and pepperjack boudin balls, every thing is tasty. Order and then seat yourself, plenty of tables inside and outside. read more

They a lil racist in there but hey it's a small town in southwestern Louisiana what do you expect soo as you walk to the door it's a sign that says pull your pants up aka " whites only" the Cracklins were mediocre no seasoning at all just dry read more

The food is outstanding. The service is amazing. The ambience is exquisite and I'm more than welcome to company that was involved.

Great selection of fried goodies ready to eat for lunch. Delicious smoked and regular boudin. Plenty of selection for frozen sausages and other items to take home. read more

Great boudin and smoked sausage!! Staff is super helpful. They have a nice selection of boudin, sausages and meat. There is also lunch menu option. read more

The sausage here is top notch! My favorite is the smoked deer sausage! I bought several frozen sausages. I also ate lunch here. The sausage is the best! read more

Wow whee! What a great little place for a break and fabulous Cajun food! As usual we were looking for something good with a spot that we could sit outside with our fur baby. We almost passed this one up because of some negative reviews but we are so happy that we decided to try it out! My hubby got a cheeseburger and fries. He LOVED it. I opted for the crawfish pie, cracklings and boudin ball. Of course my hubby had to try mine and he liked it so much he sent me back for another of each one to go! The service was fantastic and we will definitely be back! This little gem has earned a spot on my BEST OF AMERICA list!!!! read more

Best boudin I have ever had. Tried the links and also a boudin burger which was top notch. Really cool place as it feels very authentic! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Iowa, LA read more

If I were to rate Rabideauxs on their cracklin alone I'd give the 1 star but because of their smoked sausage and the selection of items, I'm giving them 3 stars. The cracklin weren't good at all, if you want good cracklin go to Billy's at exit 98. One thing that I didn't like was how someone that was standing around talking to his buddies outside came in and told a guy, in a disrespectful way, that he couldn't park in a certain place and that's why there was parking in the back. One visit is enough for me. read more

Crispy fried cat fish! We always come back for more. 2 can eat off of 1 dinner...maybe! If you want to share -the portions make it easy, but the taste makes you say,"get your own!" read more

This large Texan family was not disappointed with this place! Two half-plunder cheeseburgers were 10/10, the crawfish pie was so delicious, it's a shame there was only one left, the catfish dinner fed two people in our party, the sausage was definitely among the best I've had, and I have a daughter who said: "I want anything WITHOUT meat" who ate a meat pie and raved about it being the most delicious thing she's eaten in Louisiana. Laura provided such warm and friendly service, that she made our visit such a pleasure. We will return anytime we find ourselves passing through I-10! read more

Delicious food. Brought the smoked boudin home and the hubby said it was the best he has ever had!

The food and service there is excellent. They take their time with their customers and that's a plus these days. Don't see that very often.

One of the best smoked sausages EVER, I don't know why it has taken me so long to try theses sausages but I'm so glad that I did. At this point this is the only brand I am now using in all my recipes that requires sausages no more Richards or Savoies. I'm from down south Louisiana and sausages is a big deal, I now resides in Texas and I can't find good sausages here at all so every time I take a trip back home I make sure to purchase several packs. If you haven't tried them I highly recommend that you do the flavor is amazing you definitely won't go back to what you usually use I PROMISE you that. read more

This is the 5th time this has happened after I specifically asked on the phone to make sure the toppings weren't on the bottom bun. Is it just me that believes that it should be on the top bun???? Everytime this has happened the bottom bun completely falls apart because of how soggy it gets from everything being on the bottom. Ridiculous for it to happen so many times and I've said something to cooks and employees about it everytime it's happened. read more

Food is great! We are from Texas so we stop in to get some frozen goodies to take home. We try to get something different each time along with the favorites! The last time we were there, 11/20/24, the young girl that waited on us was very rude! No hello, thank you, etc. She won't keep us from returning but they were super busy-I did want to tell the owner. read more

I always go to Rabideaux when I come to town. However, I went this time and the food was cold and stale. Then when I walked out I saw they had a big Trump flag on the building. I will NEVER go back again, they disgust me. read more

I swear I grew up on Rabudeauxs since I was 3 my paw paw always brought me there for there catfish and amazing boudin balls. I have NEVER found catfish that is so clean and tender anywhere else and I refuse to buy from anywhere else! It's the best cajun food I've ever eaten and the best part is that when it's cold it gets better the longer it sits. I really wish we had one here in moss bluff I'm telling you they would always be busy! read more

It would be easy to drive past this place. Don't. We live in Wisconsin and I often find myself thinking of how I can get back. Can I justify a 1,450 mile drive for boudin? I don't know. But it would be worth it. read more

The absolute best sausages around we stopped by there on our way through somebody told us about them we bought a bunch of different sausages and put them on ice till we got back home and we live about 9 hours from them I will definitely go back to buy more read more

Great place to stop and get your boudin and pork cracklings. The boudin tastes great and it's not too spicy to where you can't enjoy it. The pork cracklings were amazing. They were fresh and seasoned very well. You can even buy the boudin frozen and take it home with you. There are other things on the menu but the boudin and pork cracklings you must try! read more

Rabideaux Sausage Kitchen - Front entrance - Meat Shops Near Me - Iowa, Louisiana

I for one think this is the best place to stop off the beaten path. I was traveling with family that took us here! If I could have ordered 1 of everything, I wanted to try it all!! The food was absolutely fantastic. The boudain balls were phenomenal!! The fried catfish was outstanding! We stopped here twice on our trip. Had the catfish court-bouillion as a special with black eyed peas & smothered cabbage. I can not say one bad thing about any of this food other than soooo disappointing that I can't get ANY of it in Vegas!! Try as much as you can, for sure!!! read more

I stopped in for the "Breakfast of Champions" (or what others might call a link of boudin) on the way to a meeting last week. They, of course, had it warming in a steamer (no microwave in this place!), ready to serve. Their boudin is a "reddish" color, I'm guessing from their spice blend, as it is a little spicier than most, but it is very good. It's about a 1/2 mile south of I-10, but worth the detour! read more

Come here twice a year from Indiana and get several pounds of sausage and breakfast. This year the sausage of course was as expected but the breakfast was terrible. My wife and I ordered the big breakfast with sausage patties and both got one half of a patty. The counter lady said they ran out. But rather than trying ask if we would like something different we were given that. Not happy or satisfied. read more

I go out of way to get their kabobs... Deep fried battered chicken,sausage,onion,bell pepper.. Fantastic !!! And I get their sausage and take it home read more

Over priced and was cold. Rude employees. Had to get employees attention then was upset because I ask them for help.

Don't wait until Lake Charles to get an amazing meal. Boudin balls and fried crawfish over a loaded baked potato could bring me back to life & wake me up inside (just like the Evanescence song...I think they're onto something). We aren't talking about a speckling of skinny, almost-dead-before-they-were-cooked crawfish, we are talking about a handful of juicy, singing bugs, no skimping on the good stuff. There is so much variety too, but I keep going back to what I know and love. read more
