My Maternal Grandparents surnames were Webre and Waguespack, very German sounding, but their native tongue was French.
They're German sounding because they are! Schexnayder is too. Ditto with Haydel, Oubre and Matherne, Toups, and Hymel.

Brilliant point right there! You really didn't have to tell me that Captain Obvious. The point I was making was that this region had both French and German influences, along with Swiss and Belgian as well. That is all.

Thirty years ago the USL alumi association made a lexicon of Cajun names and the origin of them. I am a Braud which is the true proper spelling of it, if you re a Breaux your ancestors did not know how to write and the parish priest wrots a birth certificate, and you put down your X at the end. But if you look back far enough the spelling was BRAULT and Frankish in origin as in the followers of the Franks that invaded Gaul. Think a second about Charlemagne and the lineage of kings.

Taste of Bavaria in Ponchatoula. You're welcome.
What do you recommend there. I can't find much German or Bavarian food in Houston.

Chef Horst Pfeifer is German, he and his wife Karen own Middendorf's. LINK
During the month of October on several days of the week they serve German food and celebrate Oktoberfest. Check it out! Now, I haven't been but many say it's very good. And if nothing else you can at least get some of their delicious catfish.

Jack Miller's Barbecue Sauce has it's roots in German food. My grandfather lived in SW Louisiana and made a sauce that was similar, but much simpler than JM's. It only had 4 ingredients: oil, onions, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Onions and mustard based sauces tend to be of German origin.
The recipe my GF used was given to him by a guy named Max Schlacher (sp?) who lived in east Texas, where there were a lot of Germans.

Jagerhaus now has a liquor license. I saw the update on their FB page.

Kolbs was a very long lived German restaurant in NOLA, the owner of Black Forrest was a friend that I popped into her old establishment when she needed help
