Pork steak with 3 sides. If you double up on rice dressing, $1 more. Why? They said the meat in the rice. That rice was lacking flavor AND met. I saw zero reason to charge besides poor management and way too many employees. The roll was cold like it just came out of a storage room. The steak was good, thin cut, but flavor was there. To summit up, I won’t be going back there. The up charge was smooth brained and greedy, the roll was cold. Cold rolls?? Not worth the $15 charge for the food. That’s how you lose customers.
Famous foods is.
Truely a tast or Louisiana. Lake Charles Louisiana, that is
Typically, I don't judge a business's customer service based on a single visit. I have encountered several instances of poor customer service at Famous Food. I have run into rude people. Yesterday, the server behind the counter was extremely unwelcoming. While she was scooping my cracklins, I noticed that she bent the scoop down as if she was going to dump some of the large number of crumbs out but then changed her mind and placed them in my bag instead. When I arrived home, I decided to take my food scale out and weigh the crumbs. The crumbs alone weighed 4 oz, or 1/4 pound of crumbs. I spent $24.99 on a single pound of cracklins, feeling cheated out of $6.25. One occasion heading south on hwy 14, I passed by the first driveway entrance with the intention of turning into the next one for the drive-through service. At the same time, I passed, the employee put down one orange cone to block off the entrance. I slowed down to turn in, hoping that he would understand that I was a bit stuck. At that point, he started yelling at me that I needed to go through the other entrance. This individual was indifferent to the fact that he was making me pass the location on a busy road to find a reasonable spot to turn around, as he was too inconsiderate to lift a single cone for a period of ten seconds. Although I enjoy your cracklins, in light of the numerous negative experiences I have encountered with your service, you are not deserving of my money.

I always stop here when in Lake Charles. Cracklins and pralines are my thing. Their seasoning on their cracklins is the best. Not Salty but delicious. Dang. Now I want some more after writing this review ?

I’m not from LA or Lake Charles but I always remember this place having the best pork cracklings ever. I would come with my family and we’d get this on our way out. The photo says it all
