Came out to Kartchner’s to try out their jalapeño Cream Cheese Boudin Balls. It was absolutely worth it. This is the best Boudin Ball I’ve ever had. I also was able to find some delicious premade corn maque choux and stuffed chicken. You must stop in to try their foods you will not be disappointed! ??Parking: Lots of parking close by main entrance.
My favorite place so far to get Boudin in Louisiana

Over the last few days we have had the opportunity to try alot of boudin and other Louisiana favorites while in Lafayette.We were suggested to try Kartchner's by a local...and GLAD WE WENT.We tried pretty much everything they had.Pepper jack boudain balls-Boudin balls-Chicken cracklins-Pork cracklins-Meat pie (slightly bland in my opinion compared to everything else).BoudinSmoked boudin-(had a smooth smokey flavor).Rib tips...I do not like dry rubs...but geez these things are great ..and..my favorite..CRAWFISH BALLS!!I was expecting semi bland fried balls...I was VERY wrong. These things have tons of flavor, great spice and loaded with crawfish.If I HAD to chose 3 items it would be difficult, but the must orders are the crawfish balls, smoked boudin and the Rib tips...but you can't go wrong with anything.This location also has a store, complete with a variety of all of the meats, seasonings, and utensils you could ever want or need.The staff was super pleasant and helpful. They provided great recommendations and made the experience that much better.
Having grown up in the Ville Platte area attending boucherie, I tend to have a pretty selective pallet for Cajun specialty meats. After having tried dozens of locations, this is one of only a few stores that I buy boudin, cracklings, and tasso from locally.While their items have deviated from the classical style I favor, if you order something traditional it is far closer to what your great grandparents living out in the country would have made than other places in the area. A little lighter on the liver but many people today don't like liver as much so that makes sense.While the atmosphere is closer to a gas station quick mart than a restaurant, most places you are buying boudin from are. They are in a near perfect location to to be available from most of Lafayette, though traffic is a little hectic at luck time.

It is all delicious. Everything. If they make it, it will be an amazingly perfect bite and your taste buds will write a thank you note. I'm eating jalapeno and cream cheese boudin balls and wraps, and jalapeno pepper jack deer/pork smoked sausage right now. I just wish I hadn't eaten all the cracklins already; best cracklins I've ever eaten. Hands down. I need more.

Well I couldn't get that famous burger I wanted but I did settle for the fried ribs and chili dog.
