Cajun Restaurants near Cankton, LA

“My food came out cold. I had the BBQ brisket. Sides were; potato salad, baked beans, rice dressing and a roll. I didn't receive my roll, rice dressing and brisket were cold. I mean cold like sat out of the heat for 15 minutes. We waited over 40 minutes for our food and it wasn't overly busy. Waitress tried, but first didn't bring plates for shareables, didn't bring utensils for meals, never got my BBQ sauce, and that was on her. I understand the food coming out was the kitchen not her, but the rest was. I got tap water for my drink and the bill listed my drink as 2.99 when we complained she reduced it to 89 cents. For tap water.
An apology wasn't offered, no assurance of our food coming. My brother in laws food came when others were finishing. It was a mess. I really doubt I'll be returning. It was a disappointment. It was only our second time eating there. The first time service was just as bad. It's a shame. A lil town like cankton needs these mom and pop places. But poor customer service has no excuses.“

“The lady who answered the phone & then transferred me to the Deli was polite & Freindly as was the gentleman who picked up the phone in Deli & took my order. However the young girl at the cash register in the Deli was not. Management should take note bc with as much competition as there is in a pretty small area , I know if I have the choice between an establishment with polite employees and one that does not ,I’ll take my business to the one with a positive experience every time. The Bbq and sides were delicious & almost made up for the cashier’s attitude.“

“Came to Lafayette for our anniversary and took my husband here for the raw oysters and Cajun food. They did not disappoint. The live music was fantastic and everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait to come back.“

“I ventured to Lafayette to attend Festival International. Since I had the morning and most of the afternoon free the day after my arrival I decided to head to Vermillionville to explore the historic village and have lunch at La Cuisine de Maman. What a great decision!! The food at the restaurant was delicious. I had the plate lunch with a cup of seafood gumbo to start. Everything was really good. The plate lunch that day was crawfish etouffee over rice, smothered green beans, fried shrimp with tartar sauce, and a big biscuit. Portions were very generous; I thought that some of the food might overflow onto the table.😊 I didn't have room for dessert; although I've since been told by lots of people that I should have taken it with me. After eating, I explored the village. What an amazing blend of history and culture it is! I can't wait to return.“

“Finally decided to try Julian's Poboys...one word, amazing! I had the shrimp poboy and it was delicious. The bread was the best and the shrimp were fresh and fried to perfection. We also tried the Wild Turkey poboy, also delicious. Don't forget the onion strings. The best poboys we've had in Lafayette to date. The staff were great also.“

The bread was tender and the stuffing was rich with meat and slices of sausage. Divine. Well worth getting off the interstate for.“

“6.13.25 @ approx. 1 P.M.
I came here for the first time because Lumber Jacks (another eatery I wanted to try seemed to have been closed for good).

I saw chicken and sausage gumbo on their menu, but they ran out.

I tried the shrimp stew. It came with corn and potato salad. It was good.

We also tried the fried catfish (2 pieces), and I really enjoyed the piece I tasted.

If you are ever on Moss St. and looking for a plate lunch, the Lunch Box might fill the void.“

“Great Food and even Better People! Love Stopping here for Lunch!“

“Great truck stop. Very friendly staff. If you haven’t stoped by, you need to!!“

“The wait was worth it . Hot and fresh . Love the frozen lemonade so delicious. He’s very friendly and welcoming“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“The food was amazing! Especially the fried fish poboy which is what I had! Our waitress was new but she made it very clear that she was new and kept apologizing when we asked a question that she didn’t know. However, she didn’t say “ I don’t know” and left it at that. She would say “I’m so sorry I’m not sure but I will go find out” so that is impressive! Will Fontenot sounded great on the piano also! Will definitely be back.“

“Best crawfish and shrimp in Louisiana.“
