NO SERIOUSLY, IT’S A THING!
When you’re cruising down Louisiana’s byways and backroads, fill up your car’s tank (and your own) with unexpectedly delicious gas station eats.
Chadeaux’s Cajun Kitchen
Perfect for road-trippers traveling along US 165 or US 190, Chadeaux’s Cajun Kitchen in Kinder serves fresh boudin, cracklins and local sausages. Don’t miss the pepper jack boudin balls!
Stazione Deli
Now at several gas stations throughout the Cajun Coast, the original Stazione Deli in Patterson offers an impressive selection of fried seafood, plus po’boys stuffed with everything from oysters, shrimp and soft-shelled crab to smoked sausage, beef brisket and more.
Banks Meat Market
This New Orleans gas station/Western Union also houses Banks Meat Market, a butcher and sandwich shop. The 32-inch po’boys are legendary, but don’t sleep on hearty dinner plates featuring pork chops and a variety of house-cut meats.
3 J’s Fourway
This Exxon station in Natchitoches is home to Renee’s famous fried ribs and other delightfully decadent fare, including smothered pork chops.
