    Catfish dinner.
    Michael H.

    This is a simple little local place, inside and out, that serves some delicious food right off I-10. Don't let the exterior deter you. We evidently arrived right after a rush as there were lots of tables needing to be bussed. From the debris it would appear that their crawfish are quite popular. The interior is a simple large dining space to the left with a deli counter on the right that housed sausages and other takeout items. I went for the adventure and ordered gumbo, boudin balls and a seafood pistolette. I am not well enough versed in Cajun/Creole dishes to compare the gumbo and boudin balls to others, but for me they were ok. The pistolette, on the other hand, was delicious. My father introduced me to "bore a hole" biscuits when I was a child which involved putting a finger hole in the side of a biscuit and filling it with cane syrup. The pistolette is something similar except the hole in the side of the soft roll is filled with a cheesy seafood filling (or a crawfish or hamburger filling, if you choose) and it was delicious. I would order pistolettes again and probably would want to try all three options. My wife ordered the fried catfish plate and this was the real star of the dinner. Lord, that was some of the best tasting fried catfish strips ever. The catfish was plentiful on the plate so I got to try several strips and the catfish alone is worth a stop. Service was friendly and very attentive. A nice little find off I-10.

    Came to this area to look at a vehicle for sale, and passed this place at 11:30am on a Wednesday. The parking lot was packed at this time, as they have their lunch buffet then. We finished our errand about 3 pm and returned here to eat. Very welcoming lady who also waited on us. This is a hometown spot, clean, and spacious. I had the catfish dinner, and my son had a sandwich. The sweet iced tea is perfect! Food was freshly cooked; the fries were perfectly fried as were the hush puppies, which have a nice touch of jalapeños. The cole slaw is sweet, but goes well with the rest of the meal. My catfish was very good, crispy, and plenty to share. One piece was too salty to eat, but I was full anyway. The kind waitress gave me a large tea to go. My son liked his sandwich and said the bread was delicious. Enjoyed our meal, but will try to be here for the lunch buffet, as there seems to be a lot to offer there. Will definitely be back, when we're in the area

    Exactly how you will feel when you leave here. This place is amazing

    This is amazing little gem slightly off I-10 in Sulphur LA. If your looking for great Cajun food then take a little detour, you will not be disappointed. I come to Sulphur a couple times a week for work and I make a stop here every time if they are open. They have a hot line/ buffet and a full menu. As well as some of the most amazing deserts you will ever try. The buffet changes every day. The portions are huge so be ready to loosen your pants, and if you try the buffet you will probably need a nap afterwards. If your lucky enough to stop by on Friday get ready for a big treat, they have a seafood buffet on Friday.

    Catfish Dish & fried Okra

    Stop by on the way back to Texas. Place was pretty busy for lunch. Our waitress was great very attentive with southern charm. Had the catfish platter which was hands down the best catfish I ever had. Fried okra was crispy on the outside and delicious on the inside . Great job guys .

    This is the best place to get pistolettes! For the uninitiated, pistolette is an Arcadian-Cajun specialty that is essentially fried bun stuffed with crawfish etouffe (or anything else). Sure it sounds greasy and unhealthy, but it's damn worth turning a blind eye on your calorie watch for a meal! Other than that though, Boiling Point is unfortunately a mediocre and overpriced Cajun seafood restaurant. While the okay poboys are priced about $8-12 each, the dinner plate can easily cost about $20 each. The decor is even worse than the plant lunch rooms. I would definitely recommend this place to try the pistolettes! Other than that though, you can find much better (and cheaper) seafood restaurants in the area.

    Boiled shrimp done right.

    Their crawfish pistolettes are the best I've ever had. You can even buy them frozen and fry at home.

Each day is different with the exception of Fri/Sat both offering seafood. I haven't tried all the other nights but the seafood buffet is worth an encore lol Crawfish (in season) is very good and the grilled fish, étouffée and stuffed spuds are all solid choices! Seems like a local institution and trust me, you wanna get in on that

    While traveling through Sulphur during the lunch hour we decided to try out Hollier's Cajun Kitchen…read morefor some local flavor, the parking lot was mostly filled but we were able to get seated without a wait. After viewing the lunch buffet we decided to give it a try to save time. It seemed today most of the customers were locals comprised of contractors and maybe plant workers, there was no doubt this place is a local favorite. After placing our drink orders we proceeded to the steam table and grabbed our plates, most of the food seemed fresh and definitely hot, the kitchen was in the process of refilling items as we served ourselves. Honestly there was nothing bad here but after trying a few bites I was reaching for the hot sauce to jazz things up a bit. I thought the prices were a little steep considering the portions we chose, if you're one that will make multiple trips to the food bar it's probably a good deal. We felt the food quality and preparation was just okay, it's likely we would not return or travel out of our way to dine here again. The staff was very friendly and accommodating it's just not the type of place we frequent...
