Kartchner’s Specialty Meats — Local services in Scott

I’ll admit, I’m a boudin ball snob and have tried several in the area and always return to my usual spot which is very popular in the area. We had that yesterday on our way to New Orleans. Heading home my boyfriend said what if we do something crazy and try some competition that we haven’t tried before and I found this place. What drew me in was the cream cheese jalapeño boudin balls, the fried ribs and the ribeye stuff with cream cheese and jalapeños and wrapped with bacon. They were out of the ribeye but that’s okay. We got a sampling from the hot menu. Boudin balls, cc jalapeño boudin balls, meat pies, maple boudin rolls, chicken Cracklin, loaded potato bites and the fried ribs. Everything was very tasty. The chicken cracklin and ribs bites were the star of the show. The ribs look dry and tossed in seasoning but when you bite into them they’re anything but dry and the flavor of the fried fat and seasoning explode in your mouth. The boudin is really really good as well. I can’t say better or worse than my usual spot they’re different, but if I had to make the choice to stop and get just one, I’ll come back here to pair it up with those fried ribs and chicken cracklin every time. The store was also very clean, the employees super friendly and I didn’t have to wait in line for 30-45...

I submitted an online order and tried reaching out to someone for over night shipping since it was boudin. I called, emailed and left several messages. I finally was able to speak to a female who assured me someone would call me on Monday before my order went out. I still didn’t hear from anyone so I called Monday morning hoping to catch someone before my order shipped. The shipping associate called me about an hour later saying he had shipped my package early Monday morning. I received my package Wednesday night. The boudin was room temperature and I’m sure it was spoiled by then. I don’t understand this type of customer service because i tried several times to reach out for over night deliver. They don’t care because they got paid for the product and me, the consumer lost. By the way, I live...
