Boutte's Boudin Cajun Market — Restaurant in Lumberton

We tend to give such establishments a lot of credence which may be undeserved. That and my experience of places in Louisiana, where much more pride is taken in the selection of ingredients and their preparation. Also, there is evidence of at least one "local guide", shilling for this place. How does a local guide get away with using the term "crayfish"? Sausage does not equal hotdog weenies but that's what you get when you order the chicken and sausage gumbo and red beans with sausage. Funny, they don't stock the weenies in their retail cases. You can always count on a (not so) sturdy styrofoam serving dish, even if you dine in. But hey, it does match the flimsy plastic forks and knives, that are standard issue. You might pay for quality but you won't get it here. The good news is that it is predictably inferior and served with a cheerful smile. That's worth one star, any day. Right?

Update: In spite of myself, I returned and ordered the Maque Choux, which was never great but better than their other choices. They have now taken to serving canned Creamstyle Corn and calling it Maque Choux. It's still billed as Authentic...

I've been eating Boutte's Boudain for years! I thought they went out of business for awhile when they moved from the old to the new place. I'm glad They didn't!!! I always liked to put their Boudain links on the smoker. Their new place has a steam table for serving breakfasts and hot lunches. The menu changes a little every dayof the week. Tuesday's is Ettouffee or Fried Chicken with sides. We couldn't leave without trying the Ettouffee and it was really good! We went in to buy some Boudain links, and Boudain Balls with Pepperjack Cheese. I wound up buying a half pound of their Cajun Style Cracklin's and should have bought a pound!!! Yeah, they are that darn good!!! The wife also picked up a package of their stuffed jalapenos for trying out in the air fryer later. It's a very nice little place they have now and they have a lot of other items in the freezer that look great too. The folks are really friendly and helpful! They also have fountain drinks and indoor seating so you can enjoy your meal in the A/C. Give them a try if your...

Well this is the last time I visit this establishment. After being late (my fault) and after there decision to change their hours on Saturdays and stop serving breakfast I don't have any reason to go here. Saturday morning Beignets are kind of a sticking point and if they can't sell them why be open so early. They where so good and the perfect replacement for a boring old donuts on Saturday morning. Once is my fault but twice no thank you I will take my business elsewhere. Best of luck in your other ventures hope the new hours work out close more frequently who knows it might...
