“Very good boudin, extra spicy and the boudin balls had a special spice that was different, we really liked it! Glad I got off the beaten path and didn’t go to Billy’s next door, it was certainly worth it!”

“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. 😎”

Let’s break that down - From the customer service at the window to the employee waving at me as l drove out of the drive thru. Let’s not forget about the crawfish 🦞20/10, the corn, potato and sausage 20/10 all across the board. 1000% recommend.”

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!”

“Food I have picked up to go has been great. The chicken cracklins were warm with a light crisp, the boudin was meaty with good flavor, the fried ribs are always our favorite to chew on, the meat pie (meat) is really good and the crawfish pie is my hubby's favorite. Outside, the fuel pumps are roomy and easy to operate. The diesel pumps on the side are very convenient for my hubby's dually. The staff has been really nice and Mr. Hebert is always accommodating if something is needed. Overall, we give it a great review and we're excited they have come to Jennings to open their business”

“We had a reservation for a party of 11 including 2 children. The atmosphere is chill and nice. The manager and waitress checked on us several times. Overall was ok and the service was great but the food was average. The portion size was nice but my chicken florentiene was bland. It came with garlic mashed potatoes which I enjoyed and as the other side I got rice dressing; it needed more seasoning and was just basic. The entrée itself was fried and mostly breading over a small chicken breast. It could have used more seasoning but putting the spinach and sauce over the chicken made it a soggy mess. There weren't many thing on the menu that I desired so I settled for this. I only went to this restaurant because of my dad's birthday dinner but I prefer Infusion (better food) or the Lil pizza spot. Probably won't be back.”

“The night we learned was the night of the Super Bowl. And the guacamole was extremely salty. And the martini was of no type. I've ever talked about paste it in my life. I spoke to the owner about it. And they did it, we're going to make the corrections, but I have to say that our waitress was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. I'd be willing to go back and try the food 1 more time and hopes that they have corrected the salt issue, but other than that, it was a nice place. We had a nice visit with our waitress.”
