Cheese, and goddamn pepper jack at that, mixed into boudin doesn't make boudin better.

I like Ronnies boudin balls as much as Billy's. I still stop at Billy's passing through, I'm a sucker for cracklins and a few boudin balls.

wow, hard opposite for me.

I think the boudin balls and rolls are great. Don't like Billy's cracklin.

I much prefer the style from Danny and Bonnie in Gretna, Toups, or Blue Oak's smoked cracklin.

Generally, a fair comment. But, the cheese never stood out to me...the texture and boudin in the balls are awesome to me. Awesome enough to overshadow the abomination that is fricking Pepper jack.

Their boudin balls are great, just the ones that are stuffed with cheese are not for me.

They got containers of precooked/parboiled whatever you call it. You order and they drop in the hot oil for the "2nd fry" of the cracklin process. Then they hit with a liquid seasoning, and then dry seasoning, shake it up, then serve to you in a paper bag. It's a true challenge not to eat the whole bag while it's sitting in your cupholder as you drive away.

Whenever I'm driving to BR from Dallas, I take a huge order from friends and coworkers for Billy's. I'm that a-hole in line buying two dozen boudin balls whenever I go. Everyone loves them.

you are ever in alexandria stop by quebedeaux's...boudin balls just as good as Billy's


I honestly don't know why people think that they aren't as good. I also believe that quebedeauxs PJBB is every bit (identical) as good as Billy's. Their boudin is very good and very close to Billy's as well.

Took a job in Opelousas a few months ago.

Boss and I stopped in Krotz Springs and he got some of these. I had them in Eunice from superette and T boys and they were decent. Billy's is next level.

Best boudin product out there. The ones in Opelousas are good as I just got donebut I do think the KS version is slightly better.

Best balls ever.


check out the boudin at rays grocery on hwy 182. I find that their boudin is much better than billys. they also have pepperjack balls that are good when fresh but not so good when they been sitting.

Billy's balls are too big

I like the smaller ones




I stopped at the old Texaco in rayne and had boudin egg rolls flavored with steens


Worth a try, I thought they were pretty solid

Team egg rolls. If I get a ball I get it without cheese.

Went to Billy's this morning and got a few pepper jack balls. Idk what it was but I think at the exact moment I was eating them, I decided I didn't really like them anymore and the cheese kinda grossed me out. Maybe I got a sloppy batch, but I think I'm gonna go with the regular balls from here on out and save the cheese for the wraps. I think the cheese oozing out is just a little too much and the balls don't really hold well with it. Just my .02. Still great shite
