Overall, this store has a better facility as far as a newer building, deli and freezers, etc have been replaced and/or refurbished and the store keeps a 'welcoming' appeal with parking close to the location with adequate and safe lighting inside store and parking lot. The staff is very friendly and greets customers upon arrival to the store since the check-out lines are located directly near both entrance and exit locations! The store is kept clean, well-organized and stock is rotated frequently to keep fresh and 'within' date items readily available. Three of the hardest locations to keep fresh/clean and with attractive displays-- in most grocery stores-- namely-produce, dairy & meats--Are always clean, free of noxious odors, well-organized with items organized well and desirable items present. This store is always moving short-dated items onto 'clearance' areas for quick sale and/or apparently discarded quickly if not sold. Unlike other 'discount' or 'big-box' stores-this store has checkers readily available and are quickly moved from other tasks to check-out lines immediately when needed. Overall, the employees are friendly, helpful and go 'over-and-beyond' to assist with a customer's requests during a shopping trip. The store also provides other services-bill payment, money orders, gift cards, etc - for customers with a friendly and helpful attitude! The store management is visible, easily identified and available when need arises! Needless to say - other than not having services that larger Brookshires locations have (pharmacy, flowers, etc)- this Rayville location is definitely rated a 10 out of 10 in my opinion!

"Start" is our stop. Another one of our favorite secret…read morerendezvous stops is "Start." A little less known crossroads, near the Mississippi river delta in Cajun Country, on the Louisiana side, is this lovely little Travel place. Inside you will find a little local "Start deli Cajun cafe." There, you can find boudin balls, crawfish pies, meat pies, fried fish & shrimp plates on "Fish Fridays." You can get their "Start Fried Chicken" specials all week. Hamburger steak on Mondays, Fried Pork Chops on Tuesdays & Chicken Fried Steak on Wednesdays laissez les bon ton roulet! OuiOui. Moi loves the local cajun fried pies here. The crawfish pies have giant chunks of crawfish inside them, superb, the best ones I have ever had. I was born here in Louisiana. I grew up on both sides of the Mississippi River. It's very beautiful out here in Cajun Country, one of our most favorite, if not THE most favorite, most romantic, most secret rendezvous stops, is here, at "Start" in BFE Cajun Country. The outdoor dining area is fabulous to kick back & take in the fresh country air & views. Relax, have a cup of Community coffee while you pump your petro & stuff your pie hole with local cajun boudin balls. OuiOui. As Robert Frost so famously said: "Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Dr Chef Life Lesson #2 "Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories." Hollywood is fake & AI is only as smart or as stupid as the person programming/writing the code. Living in the real world is Reality. The AI Matrix is meant to enslave you, program you. Keep you from fulfilling your destiny. It's very important to travel, be close to Nature, as Travel, is the only thing that you can buy that makes you richer. There is no Matrix out here. No one to "program you" trapping you by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. "Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man, than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure." That's why "Start" is moi Stop. I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Live wild and Free. Added to moi lists of "most romantic places in America." And Favorite "seafood places lists." OuiOui. Highest Recommendations.

Gene Cox's Grocery & Meats has been in business for over 50 years, which is a great, boast-worthy…read moreaccomplishment! Cox's is a small, family-run, grocery store with the best meat market in town. Despite the many large grocery store competitors around town, the locals remain loyal to Cox's because of their Southern hospitality and quality products. From the moment you walk in to check-out, the staff are eager to help and answer any questions. On our first visit, we felt very welcomed as we took our time to browse the store. Hot foods are available most of the day, breakfast biscuit sandwiches in the morning and then typical lunch food fare(fried chicken/fish, meat pies, boudin, boudin balls, sausage links) for the rest of the day. We were surprised to find fresh, homemade cracklins for $16.99/lb. A majority of the hearty bite-sized pieces had a good meat:skin proportion. The cracklins had a nice crunch and seasoning, but not too spicy. (Most natives are used to the spicy seasoned cracklins from south La). There is an extensive selection of packaged specialty meats and foods (seasoned pork chops/pork tenderloin/chicken/ribs, stuffed chicken, certified Angus beef, smoked beef patties, twice-baked potatoes) and it was hard to select a few choices because everything looked deliciously mouthwatering! We grabbed a few of them to cook up at home- duck wrapped in bacon and chicken stuffed with crawfish dressing. Catering options are available too, just let them know in advance. The rest of the store is similar to what you would find in the typical convenient store with snacks and beverages, including some local brews. With the Mardi Gras season upon us, Abita Mardi Gras Bock is in stock too! I saw a small display of various jerky flavors and local jarred goodies like fruit, jams, and seasonings. Remember to visit Gene Cox's Grocery & Meats the next time you can't decide what to make for lunch/dinner. You'll be sure to find great food here should you need a little snack or a meal. The carnivore in you will surely be screaming to buy all the specialty meats. And as a rule of thumb, eat and shop local!

We definitely would have just bought a pack of 3, maybe 6, but not a dozen. They were delightful though. We wished the dogs hadn't snuck and eaten the rest of them though...we only got to have 3. I also got a boudin kolache and my husband also got a simple blue sprinkled donut. They even gave us a free glazed donut with our purchase.
