We went for boiled crawfish, since we are from Michigan and have never tried them before. But we were there too early (waitress said he starts them at 4) so we left and came back a little after 4:00. So glad we did. We shared the 3 lb platter and it was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was worried about them being too spicy, but they had just the right amount of kick. Our server was attentive and pleasant and even showed us how to crack them. We also tried the gumbo- I had the chicken and sausage and hubby had the shrimp. Both were very good. read more

The gulf coast Cajun food dining experience I remember from when I worked in 198os. ambiance is simple tables and chairs . The staff was friendly and the cooks I could see hard working. I loved the shrimp pistolette - which was a new food for me. I had crawfish 1/2 ettoufee and 1/2 fried. Husband had gumbo. read more

Hours advertised said open until 8:30 P. M. I got there at 7:45 with all lights off and help staring at me through the window.

We love Richard's food. Everything is wonderful. Love their seafood gumbo. Crawfish was very tasty and easy to peel.

It was a good place to eat. Everything seemed fresh and well seasoned. The boudin was our favorite. I only have two complaints, the tartar sauce tasted like straight up mayonnaise and the cocktail sauce tasted like plain old ketchup. Just fixing those 2 things could make a huge difference. read more

Customer service and the food were good. I have no complaints there but the prices itself were a little up there though

Wonderful hole-in-the-wall spot. We needed a quick bite for dinner on our way to New Orleans and found this gem. We were a little skeptical when first walking in, but we're greeted by two friendly ladies in the front. We shared 1 lb. of boudin and the crawfish tails & etouffee combo. Both were fantastic! The etouffee had the perfect amount of seasoning. Will come back when passing through again. read more

Richard's Boudin & Seafood - Boudin - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Sulphur, Louisiana

This may not have been my first choice, but it was close to my client's site and they picked where to grab a late lunch one weekday. They offer plate lunches during the week, and I picked the steak and sausage plate with potato salad and cole slaw. For someone who isn't from southwest louisiana, I determined that steak and sausage actually means smothered sirloin pot roast and smoked sausage over white rice. You choose two sides, and even though fries are listed as a side item, for lunch, you can only choose between split peas, potato salad, cold slaw, or an additional portion of rice. This plate was interesting to me since it was half cajun food as the entree, but traditional american for the sides. No cajun sides offered here. On my plate, since it was near the end of the lunch service, I had mostly pot roast and just 2 small pieces of sliced sausage. The sausage was my favorite part of the plate as it turned out. My client ordered the rice and gravy plate which turns out, for all the non-louisiana folks, to be sliced sausage link smothered over rice. Another interesting thing they do is write the number of available plate lunches they can serve (toward the end of the lunch service) on the dry erase board, which is very helpful. This is a very casual restaurant. Overall we were all very hungry and everyone cleaned their plates, so it was a good experience. read more

Richard's Boudin & Seafood - Comfort food found here. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Sulphur, Louisiana

We stopped in because they were recommended by some locals.. The place was exactly what we were hoping..fresh seafood market and restaurant. We were a little early so we could not eat, but wanted to take fresh seafood home to Texas. We purchased $150 worth of a variety of fresh yummies....got home to find out the half gallon container that was supposed to be 2 LBS of raw oysters, had about 30 (THIRTY) oysters and full of oyster water....REALLY?? THAT WAS $40. BUYERS BE AWARE..NOT COOL AT ALL. WON'T BE BACK.. So sad..first bad experience EVER in 40 years of going to Beautiful Louisiana.. read more

Sometimes, you just gotta have some real Cajun food, without going to a lot of trouble to get it and without spending a lot of money. If you're way in the southwest corner, then Richard's will work. It did for us. I found a listing for Richard's in a book about where to have real Cajun food, suggested it to my hunny for our trip into SWLA, and there we were. It was a while ago, I don't remember what I had, but I remember that it was good. As usual, I finished up what my wife couldn't, I think she had non-spicy boudin. It felt real, too. Now, I'm fine with the gussied-up atmosphere of Prejeans, don't get me wrong. But you get a place like this that puts its profits more into the grub than into the frou-frou. It looks like a place where the locals go, a hangout place for friends, and me not being a local, I'd rather go to *that* kind of place than a tourist trap. Especially SWLA, I was listening for anyone speaking French or telling a Boudreaux joke (didn't hear anyone). So yeah, it's a simple place that works well, with food I could get stuffed on. read more

Excellent lunch experience. The large shrimp and hush puppies were very good. Potato salad is ok. Their fried corn on the cob was delicious. (I haven't seen fried corn with a full coating like that and I liked it). I am posting a pic of the food and menu. Alexis gave very good service. read more

We did not visit this location so please stop sending me a notification. Maybe next time we are in town we will visit this store

I was in the mood for some boudin, so me and my four year old stopped here on the way to visit family in the area. He ordered the kids chicken strip dinner and I got a few pounds of boudin to share when I got where I was going. The boudin was pretty smooth, which is to say there wasn't any real chunks of meat enclosed, just lots of wonderfully pulverized pieces of meat with plenty of ricey goodness and small bits of green onion throughout. Overall, the boudin was pretty good if you enjoy a meatier boudin. It is about half meat and half rice in my amateur opinion. The casing was moist and not easily breached. Had a nice flavor with a spiciness that crept up on you while eating, but never overpowered the taste to become too hot. The price is fair with comparable boudin joints I've been to. The chicken strip dinner was surprisingly very good. I half expected something bought frozen or prepared in advance. What he was served was fresh chicken breast, cut into strips, breaded and fried. 2nd place to Raising Canes as far as the strips go. The fries were standard fair that is served almost everywhere. Located on Highway 90, which is also called Napoleon Street through Sulphur, Richards Seafood & Boudin Mart is exactly as the name implies. They have a long cold glass case with shrimp, catfish, boudin and sometimes gator meat. Definitely has a "locals eat here" feel. Very nice people behind the counter and the order was fairly quick to come up. I hear the crawfish etouffee is pretty good. May have to make another trip to try a po-boy also. In my opinion, this place is between 3 and 4 stars with a 3.5. I just will end up with a 3 star rating because of the location and ambiance. read more

Always stop at Richard's when I'm in the area! It's an institution for my family. Just wish I could come visit more often!

Love ordering from here anytime I'm in Sulphur. I was recently visiting home and i always love getting their plate lunches so i got 3, 1 for me, my dad, and his brother. They were all sooo good and even the sides were amazing. read more

Best seafood in Sulphur! Seriously! I've been going here since I was a kid and it never disappoints. I live in AZ now and drove 17 hours nonstop overnight to make sure I could get here for dinner before they close for Christmas. A trip to Louisiana would not be complete without it! read more

Richard's Boudin & Seafood - Oysters and popcorn shrimp combo with boudin ball and onion rings! Good stuff y'all! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Sulphur, Louisiana

First of all, I called in a order at around 7:00pm and the lady on the phone literally yelled at the cook asking if the grill was still up, said they could still do it..questionable already since it's supposed to close at 8:30. I got a combo of shrimp and fish with fried and boudin balls and fried alligator bites which (according to the menu) should cost about 22-24$. Went to pick it up at around 7:20 and the lady was literally already cleaning up and looked relieved when I said it was a pickup. Total was around 28$ at the counter, didn't say anything since I just figured the prices went up since the menu was posted online. Lady literally locked the door when I got into my car and turned off the open sign. Food was aight but I didn't even get a salad (as the menu said I would) and they forgot my boudin balls. Alligator bites were not worth it for the price. All in all, ass establishment don't go here all your gonna do is get overcharged and they'll give u low effort garbage food and probably forget some things. Also they should at least change the times on the door if they'll close an hour earlier than it says. read more

The Crawfish Rider was worth the trip here. The plate I ordered (Crawfish & shrimp) was piled high and delicious. My husband had the seafood sampler and he said the pistolette and boudin balls were yummy. The food was all fresh, hot, and plentiful. I recommend this for good seafood and cajun food. read more

I had never been here before so I didn't know what to expect. We had the gumbo and hamburger steak dinners and the Cajun sampler. All of them where very good. Surprisingly the potato salad was really good also. I would go back. They have a lunch special and I think from the food I had today that it's killer. Can't wait to try it read more

If you want authentic cajun food this is the place you are looking for. Their pivots have a great meat to bread ratio. The shrimp gravy is flavorful and tasty. Great gumbo too. read more

Originally being from Detroit I had to be taught that the name was pronounced "Rishard's", not Richard's. It's super dumpy inside, really old and bordering on dirty. The food is all fried except for the gumbo's and etouffee's and frankly, I thought everything was terrible, the boudin balls, the catfish and the pistolettes. I heard that this place was good before, but is going downhill. I also hear that Sausage Link is the place to go to now, but, I have never been so this is just hearsay. read more

I got lost in the back roads of Louisiana and by luck I found this place. I was looking for authentic creole food since I am from Texas. I got there just in time because the crawfish were just about done. Man, my lips were burning from the heat of those crawfish but they were so worth it. I swear they were as big as my hand!! I hope to get lost again so that I can find a fine gem like this one!! read more

If I could give ZERO I would. This is the worse food I've EVER had. It definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. $18 dollars for 2 piece of fish, 6 shrimp and COLD fries. One of my fish was burnt. read more

Took Brendon's advice and stopped by here to get my boudin fix. Didn't have time for a sit down meal so we took 2 lbs of boudin to go. Really tasty -- one of the best I've had. Super cheap! Boudin was $2.99/lb! Will have to come back to try the food someday. read more

Richard's Boudin & Seafood - Daily lunch special choice- chicken stew, slaw, potato salad - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Sulphur, Louisiana

Not a good time. First time at this site and stood in the doorway waiting for some kind of direction. Do we sit ourselves or do we wait to be seated. After 10 mins of waiters and staff looking at us we decided to seat ourselves. This may have been the right move. Not sure. Got or tap water drinks and proceeded to order 7 pounds of crawfish and fried mushrooms. Mushrooms were very tasty and really enjoyed them. The crawfish on the other hand were mediocre, and thats being generous. Half my crawfish were mushy and dead before they were boiled. Oddly about a dozen of the crawfish tasted like diesel fuel and were not edible. When I told the staff I was told sorry with no solution. Like sorry our crawfish are not to your standards, deal with it. Not a fan of Richards. Should have stuck with the crawfish joints that we were used to. Probably won't come back. read more

Good gumbo, horrible everything else, especially service. The staff is overwhelmed when busy, maybe that's why they're so unfriendly.

Didn't try the boudin, so that might be a discounting factor in my review. But everything we did have was lackluster, and pretty expensive for a "local lunch/diner food" type place. The service was great and very friendly, but the sandwiches we got were not very enjoyable. Not worth $20 for a drink and two sandwiches, one of which was unfinishable. Maybe serve less stuff and focus on the good things? One star for food, but excellent service and perhaps good boudin, so two it is. read more

Some of the best fried oysters ever. Great side dishes, cold slaw, hush puppy's. Catfish is very good as well. Recommended stop out of the way. You wont regret it. read more

Love the shrimp poboy, fried gator bites, crab fingers, boudin balls, and seafood pistolettes. Thought it was strange that they didn't have remoulade sauce at a Cajun seafood place. Good for a quick lunch with family. Fair prices. The building is nothing fancy. Also has a meat-market counter at the entrance. (didn't have room for dessert) read more

I went back to Sulphur after a 30 year absence, and I was craving some local flavor. My host took me to Richards, and it was amazing! I ordered some boudin for an appetizer (Dang, I've missed boudin). It was awesome. Then I had the chicken and sausage gumbo, and was freaking perfect! I thought I made good gumbo. This stuff is the standard! I'm ashamed to say I was a total glutton, but OMG what fun I had. The serving were very generous and the staff was really friendly. Made me want to move back! read more
