I’m sure yours is awesome. That’s why I said I’d put mine against any area restaurant gumbo. Too many coon-ajuns in these parts to claim the best homemade gumbo. I do love me some shrimp and crab gumbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 News Flash on the Food thread. New small restaurant in the Vidor Walmart called Cajun Works. It’s the first one franchised out (I think that’s the right terminology). Original is in Breau Bridge. Went & got wife and I some etouffee (her shrimp, me crawfish) Friday. It was good. Not the best I ever ate, but still good. Might be a little spicy for some, but certainly not overpowering. Got buko other stuff on the menu. Portions probably just right for normal people, but I could’ve easily eaten another order. Had to finish off my wife’s - thank goodness. Got to go back & try the crawfish pies, and boudain balls. Man, I do love Cajun cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers2010 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Has anybody in here tried the Cailler's Cajun..something in Buna? Little hole in the wall, I ate there passing through for a game a couple weeks ago, very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashMouth Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Anyone ever have the beef tips (double order) at Richard’s in Beaumont? Add some of their okra and tomatoes and a wedge of cornbread... Dang son! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brisket and beef rib are top 5 in the state (which means top 5 in the world of course) imo. For Southeast Texas, JB’s in Orange is still the best to me (although if you are a BBQ connoisseur, “best” is very much a relative term for SETX bbq). @PN-G bamatex treat yourself one day and hit Micklethwait’s trailer one day for lunch. Everything he does is homemade (even the bread) and his brisket, ribs, etc are all excellent. Also rotates the homemade sausage with all kinds of varieties. You should also try his jalapeño cheese grits. Finally, if you can go now that it’s cooler, try a homemade moon pie. All of it is outstanding. killen's is great bbq TxHoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like shrimp tacos, you will find none better than the ones at Irma's by minute maid park. Best catfish locally is Pine Tree Lodge (well, maybe not right now). Best Mexican food, my wife and I like La Cantina. Best margarita is at Casa Tapatia on the feeder road past the Calder Casa Ole in Beaumont. I am not wrong on that one, I can promise you. On 10/23/2018 at 7:16 PM, baddog said: Don's was the best. I do love Floyd's shrimp gumbo. They have a huge bowl not on the menu. I call it the Jethro bowl. Hard to eat it all. Richard's gumbo is delicious, but I have never eaten it all in one meal. I usually eat their pork chops and rice with black eyed peas and boiled cabbage. I get stuffed like a tick.

Hagar Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Best Bar-bq links, imo, Patillo’s on Wash Blvd. Not for anyone who thinks grease will kill you. But I sure like them suckers. Best Bar-bq, locally a no-brainer, JB’s in Orange. And my mouth is watering just posting this. SmashMouth and TxHoops 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like those kinds of links, venture on over to Gerard’s just a few blocks away on Fannett Rd just past Beaumont United (formerly Ozen) campus. From the early 60’s to maybe mid-80’s I was a big Patillo’s fan but when the old family died off, I don’t find the output is nearly as good as Gerard’s.

Their sliced beef sandwich is killer too but you have to eat it there or pretty soon after. It will get soggy on you. Lol. Agree with TVC on the downturn.
