Sonnier's Sausage & Boudin
Nestled in the heart of Lake Charles, Louisiana, Sonnier's Sausage & Boudin at 1217 Mill St has become a cherished destination for those seeking authentic Southern flavors. Known for its mouthwatering boudin, flavorful sausage, and crispy cracklins, this spot has built a loyal following through consistency, hospitality, and unbeatable taste.
Sonnier’s specializes in traditional Cajun meats, made fresh daily with premium ingredients and time-honored recipes. The boudin here stands out as a local favorite-perfectly seasoned, rich in flavor, and packed with the right balance of rice and meat. It’s no surprise that customers often refer to it as some of the best they’ve ever tasted. The sausage selections are equally impressive, offering a robust smokiness that pairs perfectly with any Southern meal. For many, bringing a cooler is part of the experience-just to stock up on sausages, boudin, and cracklins to take home.
While most orders are take-out, the warmth of the staff truly makes the visit memorable. Visitors often note how welcoming and helpful the team is, especially for first-timers. The store’s popularity means items like cracklins can sell out early in the day, a testament to their high demand and exceptional quality. That said, even if you miss out on the cracklins, there's always something delicious to savor.
Pricing at Sonnier’s is fair, reflecting both the quality and generous portions. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this small but mighty shop delivers bold Cajun flavor with every bite. The efficient service, flavorful offerings, and community-focused atmosphere make Sonnier’s a must-visit for anyone craving true Louisiana comfort food.
Sonnier's Sausage & Boudin Reviews
It was our first time in and the ladies were so welcoming and helpful! Unfortunately, we didn't make it in time for cracklins- already sold out before 10a (gotta be great!)... but we were lucky enough to get some boudin! We all agreed that it was some of best we've ever had! Can't wait to come back...with a cooler next time!
Great place, Good Food mostly take out. Nice folks good prices. We bring a large ice chest and buy sausage, Boudin and cracklings. The flavor has always been Great.
I had it when I stayed with a friend down in Louisiana. And it was awesome. And I wish I could have some ship here to my house. Where I live in Arizona cause I would order it probably once a month. Among other things, I would order too.
I came home to visit my family, and I miss the food here. Without a doubt the first thing I needed to get was Boudin. My sister suggested Sonnier's because they have the best Boudin in town. They have all the spicy smoke regular and seafood Boudin. I have tried other places in Lake Charles and they are not up to par. If you want to experience good cajun Boudin try this shop in Lake Charles, You will not be disappointed.
It's about time this shop was recognized for their excellent sausage, boudin, and other meats!! And the staff is efficient and friendly.
