Driving Dallas to BR Today- Good Stops?

I recommended Kartschner's over Billy's. I find they have more meat and Better spice

The adult video store in Terrell at I-20/US-80 split about 30 miles east of Dallas.

for your convenience store needs

Take a slight detour to Port Barre, just east of Opelousas, and get some cheese bread from Bourque's Superstore.

Lea's Pies in Alexandria for a ham sandwich a day a pie.

Once in Louisiana:
1. French Market Express in Natchitoches for baked goods, pies, doughnuts, their meat pies are pretty good, too.

2. Once on U.S.190, Bourque's in Port Barre for sausage and, jalapeño cheese bread.

3. To avoid the speed trap that is Krotz Springs, slow down for Billy's if you don't hit the Billy's in Opelousas. I see someone also mentioned Kartchner's, we have never stopped there, but I have heard nothing but great things, and, it will be on your right, so easier to get to.

Enjoy your trip.

Looks like you'll be driving on past your destination then.

When you get to 190 make sure you actually slow down to 45 MPH in those 4 sections where the speed drops (one being Krotz Springs - glad to see you're already stopping at Billy's)... Krotz Springs and Livonia being the bigger speed traps of the 4 but they are all speed traps. Always cops waiting for someone going 50.

The BBQ place near just north of Alexandria is pretty damn good.

As others mentioned, Billy’s and Bourques are both great

Otis recommended Billy's in Opelousas so I'll add that stop.

If you're going to Krotz Springs, just go to Billy's there. Opelousas is depressing.

Oh and Robertson Ham is after Terrell on I20, great bacon and jalepeno sausage.
