“Every month, I drive the 216 miles from Houston, Texas down I-10 to Scott, Louisiana to Billy's. Food as always is good and Excellent Customer Service. This month, I decided to have Billys for Thanksgiving Dinner. I ordered what I always order, a dozen of pepper jack balls, a dozen of pepper jack wraps, a dozen of links and this time, I added a dozen of shrimp 🍤 boudain balls. So far so smooth, except today it was super packed at 8 o'clock in the morning when its always empty the previous months I have visited for years. Plus, a Louisiana State Trooper accosted me on I-10 heading back to Texas. I wish yall would open up a location in Texas because my days of driving through Louisiana are limited now especially with those crowds and Louisiana State Troopers hounding me. Sorry. Excellent food and Customer Service though. 😎”

The place didn't seem busy (2 inside already eating, 1 in the drive through when we entered) but it still took a few minutes for someone to come take our order. (That could be because of limited staff, though.)”

Beans and Salad

“Absolutely Delicious!
If you’re looking for mouthwatering BBQ packed with flavor, Dominick’s Smoke Wagon is the place to be! The pork steaks are tender and smoky, the BBQ chicken is juicy and seasoned to perfection, and the sausage poboys are downright addictive. Every bite tastes like it’s made with love and skill. The sides—rice dressing, potato salad, and baked beans—are just as amazing, making the whole meal feel like a true Louisiana feast.

The service is warm, friendly, and welcoming, and you can tell they care about their customers.”

These guys serve incredible food! And for a super affordable price. The service here was also great. They were very kind and more than willing to help us pick out what we wanted. Giving us suggestions and explaining each dish. The food is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend anyone craving some good Mexican food to give it a try.

My suggestions: You gotta try their Quesabirria Tacos! And the elote here is the best I’ve ever had. Must try!”

“This has become one of my favorite places to eat in the morning. First off, the donuts are the best, in my opinion, in Opelousas. I tried 2 other places and the donuts ate too sugary and doesn't have that softness as Sonyas donuts. It literally melts in your mouth... My favorite is the shrimp,eggs, and rice. It's the best eggs and rice I've ever eaten. 😋 I was very surprised at the amount you get for the price. I can feed almost 3 adults... This place definitely deserves 5 🌟”

“Lunch visit.
The chips were thin, hot, & crispy and my Chicken & Avocado Salad was delicious, but the lettuce was old and somewhere closer to beige than green. So, I just ate the chicken & avacado and still brought some home. The portion, to me for lunchtime was large.
I think our waitress was slow...like, walked slowly.
There was quite a few other customers (even a baby shower in the back somewhere) but it was never too loud.
I'll be back!
I'd even take the same waitress. Maybe she was super tired. We all have our off days.”
