Glenda's Creole Kitchen Restaurant

My siblings and I had lunch there today. Two had turkey wings in gravy with green beans, potato salad and rice. Two of us had okra with shrimp, potato salad, green beans and rice. I also had a 1/2 order of catfish coubillion. Everything was delicious. Service was as expected. The restaurant is small and not at all fancy, we went for the food, not the ambiance. We are always looking to support this type of restaurant, especially during Black History Month. We will keep this restaurant in our rotation, for sure.

It's about a 5-6 minute drive from I-10 on 2 lane country roads. On the way you drive right past another well known and popular restaurant called Poche's (a good place to eat too) but keep going for about 1 more minute. Glenda's Creole Kitchen is on the side of the road in an old small house. Don't worry you'll see it because there's a sign out front. Pull into the little parking area under the trees and go in. There you'll enter a small dining room/steam table area and you'll see Ms. Glenda usually with one or two helpers. She usually offers 3-4 meats and about the same number of vegetables to offer all on the same plate. Drink options are tea, lemonade and I think they offer canned soft drinks. Sit down at one of the tables and dig in. You'll remember this meal as the one that made you smile while eating it.Last week I was able to visit for the first time in about 3 years as I don't pass through here as often as in the past. I got their last stuffed Turkey wing so they added a smothered pork chop to make up for the other missing wing. I chose corn and smothered potatoes for the sides and with some homemade lemonade and tax it was $14 even.Like as in past visits, I felt happiness and content eating the food on my plate. The meats were so tender and flavorful along with the veggies being tasty too. The smothered potatoes had a little kick to them that surprised me. While it was different, I liked it. Finally the wing and chop sat on a bed of white rice and the gravy from the meats. South Louisiana is rice country and true Cajun chefs like Ms. Glenda know how important great rice and gravy is. Honestly, I would be happy with a meal of just her rice and gravy. Man, that was some fine eating! This is the definition of the term "comfort food".Yes, it's a hole in the wall type of restaurant but the food is the real star here. They have a drive thru window because many of the locals come to get their food to go and drive back to their own homes to eat it. Those out-of-towners that are lucky enough to be in the know (like me and now you) come here too. Pay attention to their hours as they are only open for lunch and the dining room closes at 1 pm where the drive thru closes at 2 pm. Call their telephone number to get the recorded info on that days menu.I've been coming here for over 10 years now. Don't be fooled by the low number of Yelp reviews for this restaurant as I don't believe there are many Yelpers in Breaux Bridge, LA. Do believe the current 4.5 star average. Eating at restaurants like this are like stepping back in time to a world that doesn't exist much more so get off the interstate and drive 6 minutes to get here and slow your life down and relax for a few minutes and have a delicious lunch.

So glad we stopped here for lunch - we were wanting authentic Cajun home cooking, and it was so so good! We saw Anthony Bourdain had featured Glenda's Kitchen in 2011 for the Cajun Country episode and we understand why he picked this restaurant. It is a "hole in the wall" type of place, but we wanted authentic! We had very flavorful, seasoned rice and gravy brisket and pork with sides. Miss Glenda sat and talked with us for awhile and she is the real deal. They are open everyday - dine in until 1 pm and drive thru until 2 pm. You can call ahead an order in case they run out of something you really want. Definitely will be back!!

The best! Glenda is so nice. Good food done right!! I can't wait to go back. Everything is fresh and tasty.

I'm going to play class selection wasn't to my liking. So I ended up picking up some apple bread pudding. One serving came with rum sauce and the other serving came with a caramel sauce. These were pretty good I would most definitely purchase the bread pudding again. The caramel and rum sauce were absolutely delicious.

A small out of the way family owned Restaurant. I found this place reading an article about Anthony Bourdain No Reservations episode in Cajun country several years ago. Glenda serves a daily lunch made from scratch, real down home cajun food, always friendly, and great service

My in-law and I found this wonderful family gem of a place for some comfort foods. Best places to be. Even though its a small spot, we love every bit of it. Everyone was friendly and the foods are delish. Don't get this pregnant girl started on the cakes and cookies. It was PERFECT. It was just the right amount of sweet. Next time we in town we gotta order the whole cake. Definitely coming back to Ms. Glenda. FYI... Everyday is different but definitely do try to come on Friday for crawfish.

First time here, was on my way from east to west with I10, stopped by the beaux area to gas up & found this place on yelp. I arrived on saturday so I missed the stuffed turkey wings. But the portion of food is huge, I ate til full for lunch and still have enough leftover for dinner. Staffs are very friendly and nice, if you drive thru after 12 or its a bad raining day, they will kindly throw in extra meats for you.Had meatloaf combo (only thing avail on saturday beside the regular all-week stuffs). I know nothing abt creole style or louisiana style food so I'll just give review based on my taste buds. Best corn I've ever had, tasty meatloaf, rice and beans is nice too, just a bit greasy, everything had a decent spicy kick to it. 10$ for combo + a soda, not bad at all, I'll definately stop by next time I'm around to try their cajun dishes.

Local Louisiana creole w/ a daily special. Took care of us and our family. Glenda was nice to talk with as well. We love it!

Stopped here for lunch on the trip from Dallas to Baton Rouge. This place is the epitome of the Louisiana small intimate family restaurant. Food is outstanding, portions are large. I haven't tasted flavor like this since I lost my grandmother 25 years ago! Do not hesitate to stop and patronize this establishment. It's outstanding!
