The same!

[Gumbo Man]

Interesting. I wonder if they got bought out and the new owners are gonna take it to the next level.

Same owner, they built a wholesale plant and are expanding all over. He's pretty old, maybe full sending it to leave a family legacy

That was all they posted. No locations.

[SneakyPhil]

This is awesome! Can't get good cracklin here in Houston. Having one in Katy will be a game changer. Maybe I can talk them into carrying City Bar Bloody Mary Mix.

[CyTxCazador]

Those fried ribs… whooo son!!

[Drop Tine]

Should be a successful business move. I bet they do well in New Braunfels too.

[tvc184]

I guess if Buc-ee’s can leave Texas, Best Stop can leave Louisiana.

Now if they would open a Billy’s near Beaumont……

[AntlerCollector]

Never been to or heard of this place. Are we excited, boycotting, or what?

[GroceryGetter]

Well, as a Central and South Texan who has never heard of this place, what should I plan on getting when they open up in Texas?

The one in Scott, La has boudin, cracklings, all kinds of fresh sausages, and stuffed meats. Really good cajun virttles.

We are camping outside the day before they open, first beer on me.

Cracklins for sure, boudain and sausages too

[scott1022]

They have a phenomenal product, but their location in Scott is hidden compared to Don's, Billy's, and Kartchners. So I am really happy for their expansion into Texas.

They are about to open a location off of i-49 near Carencro as well.

They are my favorite place for boudin, so I'm happy to see this!

[BBBGP]

That smoked boudin is awesome. I usually buy 15/20lbs when we pass through that area.

Yep. The box of boudin, know it well.

[Simple Man]

I just bought 25 pounds of.boudin and stuff pork chops on my way home from Florida. It's an annual tradition. I noticed a franchise sign out front a couple years ago. My wife and I talked about opening one in the Cypress area. Excited to see one coming to the area. I know they will do well.

I grew up down the road from best stop. Moved to houston 20+ years ago and EVERY trip back home required a stop off to stock up on the boudin…

I Moved back to Lafayette a few months ago, and NOW they decide to expand to Texas?!?!

Whatever.

[Super Stroked]

Nice!! Heard there was one coming to Woodlands area. Won't have to go too far to get it now.

[AgHntr10]

We went to the one in Scott last summer because Billy's was closed. They can't hold a candle to what Billy's puts out, I wasn't impressed at all.

It’s funny that you say that because about 5 years ago we stopped at Best Stop on the way home from Florida. I bought about 20 lbs to bring home and it was nasty. Threw it out. It was almost like they had a disgruntled employee make it. There was no way that they built they’re reputation and following with what I bought.

[Ætheling]

Houston has become a footnote lmao

So are they like a Bucees? Someone explain this place. You had me at smoked boudin

[IvoryRoot]

The New Braunfels location can’t open fast enough.

Convenient store/cajun meat market type deal, honestly I don't even know if the shop in Scott even has gas pumps. I don't go for gas, I go for stocking up like everyone else in the thread lol. They've got several freezers of product you can buy as well as a hot bar with everything ready to order

I always go to Billy’s on the other side of I-10 from Best Stop. It comes down to personal preference. I know that Billy’s is almost a hole in the wall location but it seems to pack in a crowd of people for their Cajun delicacies and essentially all “to go”. You can get their food items hot and ready to eat or most of them come frozen to take home.

I think Best Stop is a bit larger but not by much.

The restrooms at Buc-ee’s are about the same size.

Thanks good info. I will give them a try when they open the Katy store.

Is this Billy’s you speak of coming to Texas too? If not then I will try them if I ever have the misfortune of needing to go to Louisiana

The boudin po-boy is great. Don’t play around .

[JTRichardson]

This makes me so happy, I love love love their smoked boudin!

I tend to agree that billys is a bit better, but its all so good that I usually go to both and get 5-10lbs from each when im passing through Scott

For anyone that hasnt tried Best Stop Boudin and wants to before they arrive here - the restaurant BB's Tex-Orleans Kitchen ONLY uses Best Stop boudin at their locations - the boudin flautas are AMAZING.

[chopsknives]

I really miss Praseks south of Htown - Best Stop better? Maybe Tyler or Longview will get one

Best Stop and Prasek's are very different. Prasek's is a jerky/czech or german sausage place/meat market. Best stop is a cajun boudin/cracklin/cajun meat market. Both good, but not really comparable, imo.
