Boudreaux's Louisiana Seafood Steaks

5/13/23 Great find in downtown, excellent food. Loved the creative creations. So delicious and flavorful. Definitely a must take-time-to-dine. Drinks were a good pour as well.

Food was fantastic! Server was super friendly and nice! Absolutely will be going here again! Wonderful authentic southern food!

We met another couple here for a Valentines Day lunch. The hostess was very nice, advising us about street vs garage parking. We were parked in a 2 hour zone which she said would be ticketed if over the allotted time. The other couple arrived and we put in our drink and appetizer orders. The table shared a plate of deep fried crocodile bites (see photo). They were $9 and just okay, not flavorful or unique. They were searched with a little dish of what appeared to be thin ranch dressing which added a bit of flavor. I believe I had to ask for the drink menu and was surprised that it was limited and no prices were published. I supposed my surprise was because they had such a long and beautiful antique bar along one wall. They have an extended drink menu online, this one appeared to be more of a smaller Happy Hour menu. Everyone was happy with their drinks and the wine pour was generous. Maybe 7 or 8 ounces. We put our entrée orders in and they arrived in a reasonable time considering the place had gotten much busier. My blackened Snapper was perfect. My side was not what I expected, it was kind of a thin potato chowder dish but tasted fine. I was expecting some kind of potato casserole but evidently did not ask enough questions. Everyone seemed fine with what they had ordered. We had driven up from KC and planned on lingering a while over dessert. The waitress didn’t offer us any before presenting the check, which I thought was odd. We are obviously of retirement age, unlike other diners who appeared to be heading back to work after lunch. And it was Valentines Day… Anyway, I inquired about chicory coffee but it was not an offered menu item and asked for the dessert menu. She showed us the menu, I got coffee and the table shared a slice of bourbon pecan pie. The food was reasonably priced, and appropriate portions for the time of day. We probably won’t make the trip again, but might stop there if on our way to Omaha or points north.

Sorry. I wasn't impressed. $1699 for two crab cakes. Made with canned crab. And one side. So I got a salad. To much seasoning to salty. And you don't even get complimentary bread and butter.

Took 5-10 minutes to get service, then another 5-10 minutes to get a glass of water. Granted they were somewhat busy with the lunch hour but still seems too long. Service did improve after that. Pretty looking dish but mixed feelings about the taste of the “Super Jambalaya” and “Boudroux Potatoes.” Some of the components of the Jambalaya were fresh like the vegetables and the sausage was tasty, seafood and chicken however tasted frozen and rubbery. Not sure what the fish in the dish was but tasted weird. The side of potatoes had an odd flavor. Overall I might come back out of curiosity to try other dishes as I love Cajun food but would definitely get something different.
