Hebert's Specialty Meats — Local services in Broussard

I will start this off by saying as far as taste goes this is BY FAR one of the best plate lunch establishments in the area. Their Sausage in a gravy and meatball stew are absolutely delicious. The only reason I am giving this a 3 instead of a 5 star are based on two factors. The amount of food you get for the price, and overall staff friendliness or lack thereof. Price isn't super steep, but comparing it to other local plate lunch eateries (I've been to a lot) its disappointing. My go to eatery loads you up with food, and is slightly cheaper. They're about on par with Hebert's taste wise but to be honest I will give it to them, they can cook. There you get an entrée and two sides which is usually vegetables or something. At Hebert's you get the entrée, a side, and a snack which is generally a small Hostess snack cake so it's not very filling for people who can put down food. I have had some decent experiences when I first went, but as of late I have encountered 2 people working the front that didn't seem like they wanted to be there. They came off kind of rude, and when I was placing my order one of the times someone came in that the lady knew. She took a while to fix my place, because she kept speaking to the gentleman behind me and even tried to start taking his order before even finishing mine.

Edit: I am leaving the top portion just to show how respectable it is that they actually listen to their customer base. I originally gave them a 3 star and I changed it to 5 stars. A couple weeks after leaving this review a co-worker wanted to go back for lunch. I decided to give it another go because as I stated above their plate lunches are some of the best tasting around. They took what I said above to heart and made changes accordingly. They were very nice and respectable during my visit, they started giving two sides instead of a side and a small hostess cake, and the portions were amazing. Thanks for listening, it...

My mother and i got to the check out counter, i was paying with an EBT card and it was over my limit and the older lady with short black hair caught an attitude with me because I didn’t have enough on my card but she wasn’t saying anything nor ask any questions about how much i have on my card. Then we proceeded to respond to the fact of how much i had left on my card and she got aggravated with the fact that she had to ring up everything again, so another girl came to help her and nither was she verbal. Then that’s when the short black headed woman started hollering at me about the issue of what items i wanted to purchase when they could have just added it all up and whatever was left they should have just took it off of my debit card. If they wasnt to busy gossiping instead of paying attention to their customers this problem never would have happend and then she tells me i need to get out. I’ve been in the public since I’m 18 and that’s not how you treat customers. Worst attitudes i have ever delt with. They need new employees and a new system and better service. Will not be returning because they are...

There are times when man's inhumanity to man makes me question a loving God. During those dark moments I travel to Herbert's Specialty Meat Shop. In that building is all the evidence I need of God's love in the form of pounds and pounds of freshly made boudin. That warm combination of magical meat stuff is proof that God loves all of us, sometimes more than he should. To drive home the spiritual bliss is the MASSIVE selection of frozen boneless stuffed chickens and assorted meats and side dishes. Don't let the frozen part fool you. The food is MAGNIFICIANT. The food will fill your stomach and your soul with love. It does mine, every...
