Broussard/Lafayette Recommendations

Poor Boy’s riverside Inn is close to the course

Nash's

JJ's Pizza

LT's Seafood (Boil House for crawfish)

All 3 in Broussard

Authentic would be Cajun. Crawfish are in season, so you should eat them at least three different ways. Boiled crawfish at the Boiling Point or Dwight’s. Crawfish Bisque at Don’s Downtown (one of my favorites). Crawfish dinner st Riverside.

Other notable Cajun restaurants: Blue Dog, Prejean’s (get the crab cakes), Don’s Hut

Nash’s in Broussard is very good, but I would’t call it Cajun food.

You should go to Scott for lunch one day and get boudin from Billy’s or Don’s. Boudin is very Cajun.

Chicken and sausage gumbo is Cajun and is on a lot of lunch menus. You should work that in somewhere.

I hope you have nice weather for your tourney and enjoy you culinary adventure.

Billeauds in Broussard has damn good boudin and cracklins.

The Boiling Point has good fried soft-shell crabs. Nothing fancy, but pretty good food.

LT's in Broussard - Boiled shrimp and Crawdads are best in the area IMO. Grilled Shrimp BLT is also on point.

Pops Po Boys downtown Lafayette puts a nice spin on the classic Po Boy - Jalaback Shrimp (not always on the board but ask for it and you shall receive) Hot Hot w/ side of ranch (It's hot but they pull off Nashville Hot sauce well) Crawfish Boil Sausage and Delcambre Dandy are also solid.

Johnson's Boucaniere is awesome for BBQ. Located in Lafayette in Saint St area.

Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette - Classic Po Boy spot. Get the Olde Tyme special or Shrimp. Bring cash

Ton's in Broussard has a good plate lunch and also serves breakfast

Do you mind driving 30-40 minutes from Broussard/Lafayette?

Authentic .. hard to beat Suire's for the Turtle sauce piquante, crawfish etoufee', and other Cajun food dishes.
Located on Hwy 35 in Kaplan, LA … it's a 35-40 min drive from LeTriomphe





Residing in Nova Scotia, are you French or have any Cajun relatives ? Perhaps a visit to the Acadian Memorial may interest you on the history of the 3,000 Acadian men, women and children who found refuge in Louisiana after British forces exiled them from Acadie.

Glenda's Creole Kitchen (located in Breaux Bridge) is 20 minutes from the Acadian Memorial museum in St.Martinville.

Both restaurants are "hole-in-the-wall" places that cook true Cajun / Creole food like they did many moons ago. Meals will cost you $10 - $15 with a sweet tea
