Joe's Dreyfuss Store, in Livonia, west of Baton Rouge, is quite good. A ways (15-20 miles) off the highway. It's been a millenium since I've been to Pat's in Henderson, also between BR and Lafayette. Maybe someone else can wade in. There are some other seafood/crawfish places in Henderson, quite close to the interstate Also in Lafayette, Olde Tyme Grocery or Chris' for poboys.

If you are here on a weekday, try RIverside Patty on 3rd Street for a great burger during lunch time. Avoyelles on 3rd also has good regional food "on the line" during lunch Good Seafood: The Chimes Parains Phil's Oyster Bar Fri May 04 18:41:47 -0700 2007 2531421 19291 frankiii 2 2544058 If you enjoy Cajun, try this.
