Cajun Restaurants near Cankton, LA

“Food is very good! We always enjoy the food there. Plate lunches are a bit expensive, we ordered a pork chop plate and it came with onion rings and we wanted to replace the onion ring for mash potatoes and what we got was one pork chop in a empty to go plate with a very small cup with mash potatoes on the side for the same prize as if we would of had the onion rings in the plate and they charged extra for the small cup of mash potatoes. And we asked for gravy and there was no gravy. But we still love their food and their very friendly atmosphere! We still eat there we just don't order the pork chops .“

“Perfection!!! We sat outside to eat our poboy and we had a wonderful experience! Friendly and accommodating staff, delicious food, shady outdoor seating! A wonderful spot for a lunch date!Kid-friendliness: Perfect spot to bring your family! Lots of safe areas for kids to sit and play while you wait or eat. Noise level is loud enough that you can feel comfortable bringing kids but not too loud or overwhelming!“

“OTR Truck drivers who stopped in. I was craving oysters & used Google to find this spot. So glad we dined here. Everything was GREAT! Our waitress, Kat, was friendly, knowledgeable, very attentive. She took care of us. The food was delicious. My hubby was very pleased. He lived in Louisiana so he his familiar with Cajun Seafood & he saids Uncle T's was spot on. I even brought a T-shirt. We got dessert to go, cheesecake. We really enjoyed our whole experience. Ms. Kat made it better. (Thank you) We will be back & have recommended it to our other trucker friends. It's worth it!“

“This restaurant is a gem. It's hard to beat food of this quality at a truck stop considering what type of restaurants most of them have. I got the shrimp Alfredo and it was fantastic. I will be eating here every time I come by this place.“

“I love Don's. I travel through Louisiana quite a bit, and I always stop through Scott. I love their seafood balls, boudin balls, pork chops, chicken etc. They also have a great selection of freezer items and souvenirs which I like to take back home. Their service is always amazing too.“

“This was my first true experience with the incredible cuisine they refer to as Creole. Aside from my wife's Haitian cooking which is a bit different from the Louisiana interpretation.The Creole Lunch is very unassuming I'm appearance, and easy to miss if you are not looking. Nestled on the side of the road, I noticed the sign and the grassy parking lot. The inside is literally the inside of a house, giving it welcoming appeal. The place is a local, family-owned establishment and it shows in the food and hospitality.Now the matter of the food. It is bleeping epic! Everything I ate, and I ate half my weight in food, was delicious! The Jambalaya was spicy, savory, and teeming with flavor. As was the pork with dirty rice and collard greens. The food was so good, I ordered the Catfish Po Boy as a second entree and ate the whole damn thing. Needless to say it was life-changing. I left here full and sleepy. A meal I will remember for the rest of my life.Parking: A huge grassy lot that has plenty of spaces.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families, the locals of course, in here all of the time.“

“We were looking for local cuisine and had The Vermilionville Restaurant recommended to us. My husband ordered the Jambalaya, my daughter ordered the Gumbo, while I ordered the baked potato to have room for bread pudding. All were delicious!I loved the many windows and brightness of the dining room. I also enjoyed the art by a local artist.“

“OMG!! This is my new must-go to lunch place. Today, 2 of my siblings and I had lunch here. (It is only open for lunch … and only a few times a week). I had the roast beef sandwich…amazing!! My sister had the chicken salad and she loved it! My brother had the special of the day -stuffed meatloaf, honey carrots and cheesy broccoli….TO DIE FOR!! DDee is a one-woman show and this place was adorable.“

“CoffeeDepot made our special day even more special!!! thank you so much for the great service and the wonderful meal and the smiley face beignets that you so generously gave us !!! adoption day - fully comped meal for 9 people - we certainly chose the best place to celebrate!! thank you from the bottom of our hearts.“

“Went in for the first time today to try the Reuben. By far the best sandwich I've ever had. Told them it was my first time and I was a college student and not only did they give me a discount but a free cookie as well. Found my new favorite lunch spot for sure!“

“I went there for the first time last Friday, and I got a Reese's king cake and a few other items. I froze the king cake and then thawed it Saturday night for church the next morning. It was a hit! AND, I got some of their frozen gumbo. Today my teen daughter was hangry, and that gumbo saved the day! I will absolutely be back.“

“Tonight was the second time dining at Cafe Josephine's. As a delectable repeat the crab egg rolls were ordered. The crab meat tonight was not spoiled but far from fresh tasting. Did eat almost half trying to convince otherwise. On another note, the waitstaff both times were service oriented and accommodating, thank youVegetarian options: an adjacent diner had macaroni and cheese while I had the roasted brussels sprouts“

“Food was absolutely delicious, and servings were large, especially for the price. Server was friendly and very attentive. Live music was enjoyable, and at a good volume.Parking: Parking lot was large enough to accommodate customers and staff.Wheelchair accessibility: The person with me was in a wheelchair. There was ample handicapped parking, and ramp. Tables were spaced so that there was plenty of room for the wheelchair and for others to get around it. The person who seated us moved one of the chairs so that the wheelchair could br placed in its spot.“

“Really close to the Acadian Cultural Centre and a nice stop. $32 for 2 adults and 2 kids, so affordable.Many positive things - many buildings well preserved like the school. But many others not so much. Good description of them in English and French which was great. Costumed guides providing great information and many thanks to one young guide who provided it in French! She is learning French and kudos to her for taking seriously her work and showing respect to Acadians and Cajuns. She was really good!The great part was the jam session done my cajun musicians who were so generous and played so well! An amazing experience!The restaurant Chez maman was great, jambalaya tasted good as well as the crawfish étouffé. Service was friendly and relax.The less good parts - some building and sites were not well maintained but also quite dirty…like really dirty!Did not find good information on the village itself. Good description of specific buildings but nothing about the village and its history. My apology if I have missed it but it is there, maybe it should be easier to find.Restaurant is only open from 11am to 2pm on the Saturday we visited. We were lucky to be there during this small window.All in all, a cool place to stop and learn!“

“Tried Billy's regular boudin ball at the Scott Boudin Festival, and even though I was stuffed from a fried shrimp Cajun dinner, I couldn't get enough. Perfectly crispy, peppery, and flavor filled. It was my favorite treat from my time in Louisiana and I only wish I had room for more.“

“Blake B provided awesome service and advice on the menu! He is attentive, knowledgeable, kind and made my first dining experience there a pleasure! The food was amazing and I loved the atmosphere including the decor! Highly recommend French Press Downtown while in Lafayette!“

“We are from BR. Yelp told us about Soul Food near us. When I tell you the Tripe was so tender, tasty, and spicy I just want the world to know it!!! The price was so right! The container was extremely packed down with nicely cut portions of Tripe! GREAT JOB Alexander's Speciality Meats We can't wait to visit again 5 stars N&M Wilson“

“I fell in love with this place. It has a bar and a main restaurant. Bar TVs play sports and it’s awesome. I love the decor and ambiance! I had amberjack (blackened) and it was awesome. I am hoping to have a chance to go back one more time before I leave Lafayette . French 77 is a spin on French 75 and definitely a delicious adult beverage.Parking: Parking right outside of the building. Easy!“
