Rant- Billy’s Boudin in Scott
Posted on 12/27/21 at 4:41 pm
Posted on 12/27/21 at 4:41 pm
Back in town for the holidays and decided to load up on my favorite boudin, so I Went to the Billy’s in Scott.
I got there around 3PM (on a Monday) thinking I would miss the lunch rush. Line was decently long but honestly I’ve seen longer in that place. I waited >40 minutes in line to check out despite them having 3 registers open. By far the most frustratingly slow process I’ve ever witnessed. It was a terrible combination of slow clerks and indecisive patrons. How does one wait in line for that long, then get to the register and not have their order ready.
The demographic was also very different than I remember and there were significantly more signs saying they don’t accept food stamps and they won’t serve you if you’re on your cell phone.
TLDR: going to Opelousas location next time
Rant: On [off]
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Best Stop is worth the extra two minute drive, brother.

If you think Opelousas is the solution to your demographic problem, you're not familiar with Opelousas.

What a thing to have happen. You sound like you made it through all right. You sure you're ok? Long lines at a store and black people. I couldn't imagine it. Stay strong.

There is a giant Billy's right off pont de mouton on I49. Give that location a shot next time. it's probably not even a mile from i10

My dad and I hit up both Billy’s and Best Stop at 8ish last Sunday morning (8 days ago). We were the only people inside of Billy’s. There were 2 other people in Best Stop with us. Seems like it’s mostly dependent on the time of visit.

Cool, guess you never get aggravated by anything. Good for you!

Demographic bothered me much less than the speed of service. I pass the Opelousas one most times I come in and it just seems like they’re less busy overall, so that was more of what I was hinting at

Your first mistake was not stopping at Kartchners and your second mistake was not then going to Best Stop.

I go in some slow places, and without having ever worked there, can often immediately see things that would make the operation more efficient. How is management there all day and never figures it out?
Maybe they can hire some folks away from Chik fil A to improve the process and coach the morons in line to get their orders ready.

You could’ve just went north and been in and out in less than 10. There’s better boudin up that way.
His boudin balls are great…. But boudin balls aren’t worth that kind of wait. You can pick up Tasso, boudin and andouille at Best stop. Then stop at Kartchners and get their house bacon and grab you a couple jalapeño cream cheese boudin balls. You could’ve did all of that in less than 20.

Bingo. Their jalapeño and pepper jack cheese boudin is the GOAT.

Kartchners boudin balls arent even close to the same level as billys. With billys being a 10 because they are the standard, kartchners is about a 3.

Billy's boudin balls are Ghost in the Machine
Kartchner's are Jucifer
