We are all on the look out for the best local places to eat wherever we go, and in Louisiana, we have a lot to choose from! If you have out of town guests coming in for the holidays, no doubt that they will want to eat at one of our famed eateries. My favorites right here in Acadiana are all locally owned, and some of them are just little 'hole in the wall' spots, but that is part of the charm!

The folks at Only in Louisiana have come up with some of the best 'Mom & Pop' restaurants around the state. This is by no means a complete list, but just a guide for your next eating adventure, and we are so happy to see so many Acadiana locations on here! Check out the list below, and feel free to tell us about your favorite Mom & Pop spots, too.
