Papa’s Boiling Shack -Food CA (Near Opelousas)

Amanda Laing Came here with family for the first time. It was incredibly busy on a Sunday afternoon but they moved through tables quickly and staff was very pleasant and professional. Great food and really fantastic drinks too. Will be back!!

Donnie Brown To start off the staff is amazing. As a first time visitor we felt like family. The drink were made to perfection. The crab meat in the seafood egg rolls taste very good. The red beans were so good I asked how to cook them at home. All of the chicken was good fresh and extremely well. Side note: dont ask for syrup. Taste the food first. We planning to go back during our trip.

Mina Driving Back to Texas from the casino & we stopped at this place. Oh my so glad we did! The catfish AMAZING. I got the fish po’ boy & it’s huge! My mom got the seafood platter and her Cajun rice was just delicious! Definitely worth the stop. Workers are also EXTREMELY kind!

Chris Schledt Stopped here with the family on a Saturday for lunch. Sat outside in the screened patio to avoid the wait for an inside table - it was warm but comfortable. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Food and drinks arrived in a timely fashion. We had a spicy shrimp poboy, french dip, a small pizza, and chicken tenders. Truthfully, the food itself is nothing out of the ordinary (ok, the tenders were surprisingly high quality - move out the way Canes), but this visit was all about the sum of the parts. The food, staff, and no frills quaint environment made it a great stop during a road trip. Keeping this on my list when in the area.

Dakota Starr Stopped for lunch while in town and was really surprised by this place. Service was great. Never had to ask for a refill on our drinks. All of our food was hot and delicious. Got the fried green tomato and crab cake appetizer, shrimp and grits, oyster Orleans, and a dessert. The manager Amber was also fantastic. She would often pass and ask how everything was and if she could get anything for us while our waitress was busy. Very attentive and caring. Everything was great! We will definitely be back!

Seth Matherne The online order process is so up front and easy. Customizing your orders or adding notes is super simple! I got one of the poboys and it was excellent both in taste and proportion. I ate half of it before I stopped to take a picture. Highly recommend!
