"100% our favorite restaurant near Lafayette, Louisiana is the one and only Poor Boy 's Riverside Inn in Broussard. We had the pleasure of dining with the owners Richard and Lori Watkins Hurst at their family owned seafood restaurant that was opened 92 years ago. One of the very best meals from start to finish that we have had in a very long time. We started with the Alligator Tidbits Deep fried or grilled, this bite sized Louisiana gator is easy to tame and tasty to boot. We got them grilled and fried. Some of the best Alligator I have had anywhere. Cajun Crab fingers Crab Fingers marinated in Fr. Coco 's famous dressing, or fried golden brown. Yep, we got them both ways. Zac absolutely loved these. I started with Richard’s Famous Tequila Martini 1800 Tequila, Cointreau and little else — Do you know what rhymes with Friday? Martini! Richard and Lori had the same. What a perfectly balanced and smooth cocktail. I see why it 's named “Richard’s Famous Tequila Martini “. The menu states about their specialty martinis: “Lori’s Glass is Always Half Empty Richard’s Glass is Always Half Full – But We Can Always Refill Yours!” Zac got the award winning Crawfish Dinner A special sampling of many fine crawfish dishes including: Crawfish salad, crawfish and corn soup, crawfish pie, crawfish etouffee over rice, crawfish boulettes, crawfish au gratin and fried crawfish tails. Sooo...good! My dinner was amazing! Seriously, one of my now all time favorite seafood dishes of all time. The Redfish Extravaganza Filet of Redfish (also available with tilapia, flounder or catfish) stuffed with crab meat stuffing then topped with crawfish, more crab meat and mushrooms sauteed in sweet cream butter. A favorite meant to impress! Y’all this was a dish that makes you smile with every bite, and had no business being so dang good. My second cocktail was the Kim’s Margarita Jose Cuervo Silver Tequila, Cointreau, lemon lime Richard had the Crab Cake dinner One large crab cake stuffed with jumbo lump crab meat in a creamy cheese filling, fried or broiled, and served with a Creole honey mustard glaze and a taster of friend crab fingers. He chose the stuffed potato for his side. Lori had the Crab Cake Imperial Originated by Mrs. Poor Boy Landry. Jumbo lump crab meat, mushrooms and pimientos, gently cooked in a rich cream sauce and baked to a golden brown. She choose grilled veggies as her side. We all split a dish of Lump Crab Meat Our simplest dish and a favorite with our guests. It 's what puts us on the Acadiana Dining Map! Dessert was so special was their famous Sweet Potato Beignets Chef Cleve 's cinnamon spiced sweet potato beignets with an orange hazelnut sauce. Sounds weird right? OMG! These were freaking excellent! Do not skip this if you ever go to Poorboys Riverside Inn. To pair with our dessert, we had Riverside’s Traditional Old Fashioned (Smoked with Pecan wood) Woodford Reserve, simple syrup, muddled cherry and orange, bitters — I like water, specially when it’s frozen into cubes and surrounded by whiskey!"

Phenomenal. If you like crab, order the lump crab in butter sauce. Simple. Delicious. Can't wait to go back to Louisiana and eat at this restaurant again soon! (And the sweet potato beignets...heavenly)

Very good food. Staff is friendly and very professional. I recommend the redfish extravaganza. And don’t forget to say hi to the mascots, three adorable baby raccoons. I will post a picture of the food and then a photo of the baby raccoons. Ver carta

I love this place! I grew up in Youngsville/Broussard area and ate at the old Jerry’s loved it then and even more now! We live in Bossier Parish now for the last 38 years! My wife is from Franklin and every time we go down home we make an effort to get to Poor Boys Restraunt! Why you ask? We love it the most! Food is always outstanding and the service is the friendliest anywhere! We know we are back home as soon as we step in the door! The stuffed flounder is as good as it gets the crab platter and shrimp platters are both just beyond great! And that fresh baked bread is addictive! Go once and you will go back! We can’t wait to get back down and Trey ourselves to eat there again!

"We've eat there 3 times over the last month, spent over $1,000 feeding my whole work crew there but we will never go back!! The wait staff and food are absolutely amazing but last night one of my guys ordered a sirloin medium well. When it came out he ate 2 small bites and noticed it was extremely undercooked so we told the waitress to take it back and cook it correctly, she brought it back and he cut 2 small pieces off of it and it was still just as raw so he told the waitress he just doesn't want it at all (he has a very weak stomach) and because the rest of us were finished with our meal to just take it off the ticket and he'd grab a burger somewhere else on the way home. She replied that that was the 3rd steak that the cook had messed up that day. So she goes to the back and converses with the manager which tells her that he would pro-rate the cost of the steak. When she told me this I really lost my cool!!! Prorate the steak??? Really??? Are you folks that broke that you have to resort to this? The proper thing to do would've been to comp the meal that he didn't get to eat and they threw in the trash or make the worthless cook that messed it up to start with pay for it. But... I can afford it and I refused to let her pro-rate it because if the manager was sorry enough to say this then I figured he would probably hold the rest out of her check so I demanded to pay the full price, she was a great waitress and did not deserve that. The cowardly manager would not come speak to me. I'll repeat, the food and wait staff is absolutely amazing but because of the managers bad choices we will NEVER be back!!!!!"
