Have gone for breakfast twice and enjoyed the experience both times. Lots of different choices on the menu so there's something for everyone, and it is GOOD stuff!! You can tell they have lots of regulars, it's not too loud and a perfect spot to bring family. Service is always kind, both servers we've had were dolls and the women behind the counter are all smiles. Definitely will be back before we leave Eunice.

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...

Excellent product. The boudin is tasty though a bit greasy, which I didn't mind. The smoked garlic…read morepork sausage is also really good.

We stopped in for lunch while passing through Eunice, Louisiana, I love this small town where it…read moreseems time has almost stopped in a lot of ways, it definitely has that small town vibe that still embraces the cajun culture. We didn't have any particular place in mind for lunch knowing that there are a few great options but wanted to try a place where the locals eat so here we are at Ruby's. This town has a lot of history and Ruby's Cafe has been a big part of that history. Parking is pretty easy in this part of the historic downtown district so it was only a matter of crossing the street to get to the entrance, this small cafe was pretty busy but we were able to seat ourselves without a wait although arriving here a little after noon some of the daily plate lunch specials were already sold out- but we managed after our friendly server let us know what was still available. We ordered the pork tasso and sausage with rice and gravy with candied yams and sweet slaw and chicken fried steak with a spicy brown gravy on the side with corn and again an order of candied yams. The food here was amazing, a little like eating at momma's place, this is legit cajun fare and if you haven't had a chance to sample this unique cuisine this would be a great place to start in my opinion. The sweet tea is freshly brewed and the service is outstanding and definitely a place I'll return to when in the area or within a reasonable driving distance - this place is definitely one to bookmark...

Nick's on 2nd is a favorite of mine in Downtown Eunice. It originally was a historic bar, but has…read morechanged over the years and is now a homey eatery that has expanded into the next-door buildings. I guess it is worth mentioning that the establishment has operated under different names. It was originally Nick's, but at one point it was run as Ruby's Restaurant and Courtyard. Ruby's is still in business, but is now operating back at their original location around the corner on Walnut. You may find that the reviews and pictures for these two locations are somewhat mixed up on Yelp for this reason. Now Nick's is back to its original name, and is still going strong. The space Nick's occupies is indeed historic, and is located on the redeveloped 2nd Street with many other nice local businesses. The main section includes the old wooden bar from Nick's, as well as a beautiful high-ceiling dining area. However, the establishment has expanded into the other buildings next door, which includes their large and very nice restrooms. While you visit these, check out the collection of historical photographs of Eunice that are displayed in this hallway. The food at Nick's is indeed a fine example of Eunice home style cooking. Prairie Cajun cuisine often features rice & gravy based dishes that fill the stomach and sooth the soul. These involve a variety of stewed, roasted, or fried meats, and a couple of home-style vegetables. Plate lunches also usually include a small salad and dessert. It is a filling repast! If one wishes, there is a menu offering salads, sandwiches and Po-Boys, and other succulent selections. Seafood selections are of course available... A excellent thing about choosing to dine at Nick's is one can stroll over to the National Park Service's Jean Lafitte Prairie Cajun Cultural Center afterwards, or an ice cream and yogurt shop, or a excellent coffee shop, or go shopping in one of the local boutiques. It is a great place to be in Downtown Eunice.
