Hidden Cajun Restaurant Every Foodie Should Try

Is there anyone in Alabama who loves Cajun food? I'm talking REAL Cajun food like jambalaya, po'boys, etouffee, and boudin.

Recently, while on the road with my wife on the phone, she mentioned wanting to eat some cranklins.

Ironic enough, I was at a gas station and saw a place with a huge pig in the logo called Ronnies Cajun Boudin & Cracklin's in the same plaza.

Although I was nervous upon walking in, the place was very welcoming, and I was immediately greeted by their multiple awards on the wall and the friendly staff. All over the restaurant, there were portraits of pigs and even some photographs of the owner's family with some huge hogs.

The co-owner was kind enough to tell me all about the pictures, and one included her great uncles.

It was refreshing to know that this place was family-owned and made everything in-house. This includes their boudin, smoked boudin, craklin', sausage, hog head cheese, and more.

Ronnies Cajun Boudin & Cracklin's has multiple locations, including one in Baton Rouge and a location in Hammond, LA, which happens to be where I stopped.

Not only was the service great, but the food was delicious! My favorite was the smoked boudin, chicken craklin', and the boudin balls.

If you're on the road and want a great place to stop for a bite and take some home, stop by Ronnie's Cajun Boudin & Cracklin's.
