★★★★☆ 4.0 Janet Sanchez · Jun 2025

Ordered two brisket sandwiches and wet cracklings which I never heard of until a friend mentioned them to me. The sandwiches have plenty of meat are moist and flavorful. The wet cracklings are a local favorite. There are regular cracklings and chicken cracklings that taste so good. They have a seasoning on top that made them taste just right and weren’t overcooked either. They also offer some Louisiana sweet treats from other vendors. Very nice that they support one another! If you’re wanting a good barbeque sandwich or some homemade cracklings…this is it!

The brisket was tender and had a good smokey flavor. The chicken was dry, but the skin had a good smokey flavor. The BBQ sauce wasn't that great too me. The rice dressing didn't have any flavor. It tasted like it was watered down. The potato salad had to much of a mustard flavor. I had to eat the beans with the potato salad to balance the flavor out. I was not impressed for 100$ worth of food. I want take that lost again.

The name should be Famous Cracklings! Yes, this is why I cannot go through Lake Charles at no time without stopping and getting some cracklings to go. I am from Houston and was introduced to this place some time ago and immediately was hooked! They have three types of cracklings: regular, chicken, and that wet! Yes that’s how they call it. That wet! It is the regular crackling soaked in this spicy 🌶️ hot sauce that makes the crackling melt in your mouth! It is so good that you may want to stop eating it because of that heat but you keep popping them in your mouth due to the goodness! Because I am on the road, I also will get some boudin balls, a pulled pork sandwich, or a sausage sandwich. 🥪 These items are snaked to perfection as well. You can drive up to the window and order or go inside
