Boudreaux's Fried Chicken

My husband and I were looking for a quick bite to eat for dinner. We looked up places that were local to us and came across this restaurant. We scanned through the reviews and decided to try it for ourselves & it did not disappoint! We were met with the sweetest waitress & good ole southern food. We will definitely be back!

Atmosphere is fine, it’s a small joint but was kept clean. Service was good, but she seemed very overwhelmed as one person when it started to get very busy. I had asked if the seafood boil was spicy and she mentioned it was a little bit. I love spice and boils so I ordered it. Food took the longest to arrive but we were told it was related to the fryers having to be reset, not a big deal to us as we were not in a rush. When the food arrived, the boil had no seasoning. Even my friends who recommended trying the place were bewildered. I ended up facing them all try a piece and they agreed it was the most disappointing thing they’ve seen. Frog legs were relatively okay, but the fries had to most seasoning. I ended up having to put hot sauce and salt/pepper just to have some sort of flavor

My wife and I met two of my coworkers for lunch on the Friday after CHRISTmas and were quite delighted with our experience.. Boudreaux's is a family-owned, one-off eatery in the heart of Newcastle.. We used Google Maps to find it because is doesn't have much street presence, but we found it to be worth the search.. I sampled the two-piece bone-in chicken basket.. I received a breast and thigh fresh from the fryer and lightly seasoned.. Both the white and dark meat were quite deelish and very juicy.. My pinto beans and coleslaw sides were great, too.. The grilled bread was a nice touch and rounded out my meal quite well.. My wife had their two-piece chicken tender basket.. Both tenders were amply sized and they were fresh from the fryer, lightly seasoned, and tasted as great as the bone-

It was just ok. I had the frog legs, and was hoping for some flavor, but the breading was extremely bland, with no spice or seasoning whatsoever. The chicken strips were the same, very bland, although they did seem fresh and cooked well. My wife had the fried shrimp and she said they were really good and well seasoned. The fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, and tots were great though. I might give it another try, but I definitely cannot recommend the chicken strips or frog legs.

Our first visit, totally out of the blue but glad we did! Cute little place, very friendly, food was awesome! Love the homemade sauces! Will be back!
