Cajun Restaurants near Avery Island, LA

“Restaurant 1868 — Sampler Plate
Perfect lunch stop after the Tabasco factory tour. The sampler plate — gumbo, red beans & rice, and crawfish étouffée — delivers big, authentic Cajun flavors. Each dish stands out, and the variety of Tabasco sauces pairs perfectly without overpowering. Casual spot, great food, and a must-try experience on Avery Island.“

“I recommend the Boudin and Fried Pork Chops! Absolutely the best and very Delicious!“

“I LOVE this place! We try to goas often as we can.

Typically, the service is great but when we went, there was a small communication issue with the hostess stand and they waitress for outside. After waiting a while, I went inside just to be told I had to get reseated out side by the hostess stand. I told them the hostess told me to sit anywhere outside since there was all but one table open to sit at .

Any way the waitress I put the order with inside wás extremely friendly and she kept our outside table even though I guess her section really was inside.

We love lots of things on the menu but I tend to get the half chef salad and sweet tea. The portion is MASSIVE and I always end up with leftovers with is a bonus!

They bring out hot, fluffy, wonderful bread while you wait.

I recommend to go on a nice, sunny day so you can sit outside. It is so peaceful, you are under the big trees that give you shade, even in the hot summer months and you get the outdoor experience. Inside is great too if you want to be indoors but it can get loud if they are busy with all of the conversations happening at one time.“

“My son and I were in town to attend a wedding. We stopped in for dinner Friday night and grabbed a large po' boy and a salad to share. The food and friendly service were so great we had to stop in Saturday for lunch before the wedding! We live in San Antonio, Tx, but will definitely be back when we pass through New Iberia to visit family! That bread pudding looked good and the serving is large! We might have to give it a try next time! 😊“

“This place was amazing. And the service was top-notch.“

“Excellent excellent food. New SUNDAY BBQ!!!“

“A mom and pop restaurant and plate lunch vibe. I had the rabbit stew, green beans, and red beans. The rabbit stew fell off the bone. Green beans were good. Only reason it didn’t get all starts on food was the red beans were a bit bland. The waitress was very polite.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great prices! The best seafood I’ve had in a very long time!“

“Great service and delicious seafood 🦞 🍤“
