Bud's Louisiana Café

Bud’s has delicious food, friendly and attentive staff, and overall good vibes! I had the pasta jambalaya and my boyfriend had the chicken and grits, both were super yummy and flavorful. The grits were on the thicker side but still creamy. We shared a cup of red beans and rice and a plate of beignets. The red beans and rice were seasoned well and the beignets were light and fluffy, served with strawberry sauce. Yumm!!

We've been to this location many times but never left a review! The food and service are always excellent. We ordered the Breakfast Shrimp & Grits as well as the Jambalaya and Eggs Bowl. They both came with a complimentary jalapeño cornbread which was delicious. The meal is flavorful and seasoned perfectly. It was a rainy morning but the meal was perfect to warm us up. We also got the iced black tea as recommended by our server. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Been a while since we first came here. The po boy and fried catfish still hit! That sautéed green beans are so good I couldn’t stop eating. Personally the crawfish etouffee was a bit salty to me so next time I’m going to try the LaCombe special or some of the pasta dishes! Service is always top notch here. They accommodated me with a side of the green beans even they aren’t even on the menu. What else can you ask for! And that’s why this place is always packed! Happy for them and will be back!

This is actually a review for their previous location downtown, Bud and Rob's. They had a similar menu and I can't recommend it enough. When I was doing jury duty I sought out local places for lunch, and this was the only place I went to two days in a row. I even took out of towners here for dinner and have tried most of the menu. The first time I went I got the seafood bisque, soft shell crab and a sweet tea Arnold Palmer. I thought it could not get any better. When I returned I ordered the fried catfish over the crawfish etouffee. This would literally be my death row meal. The catfish was perfectly fried and the etouffee was the most delicious, decadent thing I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. This meal haunts me. It's all I ever want. Gumbo is supreme. Red beans and rice is del

I came here yesterday and I must say I WILL BE BACK FOR STARTERS!!! The service was outstanding by Ben and what was ordered will definitely be ordered again. First the Seafood Gumbo was pretty good and packed with ingredients. It was a mildly spicy dark roux with shrimp, crab, crawfish, andouille pork sausage, okra, & rice and just right!! Now the Soft Shell Crab Appetizer almost stole the show due to how good it was. It is one medium sized soft shell crab dusted in flour and flash-fried; served atop smoked tomato beurre blanc and laced with house-made tartar sauce. 😋 The Beignets stole the show🏆 with it's soft flufiness once you take a bite into it but don't take a bite until you've smothered some of their Strawberry Coulis Sauce onto them.. Their French Beignets are Cafe Du Monde Style
