Gourmet Butcher Block

Although I went for the chicken crackling on this visit. I have thoroughly enjoyed the chicken salad, chicken wings, deboned chicken, crawfish dressing, ribs, and steaks. Believe it or not, there are still so many more items for me to try.This is a family owned business. I love seeing the growing wall of family pictures. The workers are nice and welcoming and the service is quick. Until next time...

When one does not feel like cooking, Butcher Block is a great option. Nice employees, usually no wait. Ambiance: n/a. My favorites are: their bread pudding is fiya fiya and comes with a sweet sauce. Also crawfish & corn soup, de-boned chicken with sausage, shrimp, and crawfish, and rice dressing. Items come seasoned already and their are easy instructions on packaging to follow for preparing at home.

Well, this only concerns the John Madden turducken. I had such high expectations and we were really looking forward to it. Gold belly shipped it on time so we were all set. It was very expensive ($200 plus shipping) and if you follow the cooking instructions for a thawed Turduckhen, you'll dry it out like cardboard. Do yourself a favor and use a meat thermometer to get an instant temperature reading after 3 1/2 hours and check it every so often after that. It would be nice if they put guidance on meat temperature versus just a timed cook. I guess they're trying to be ultra safe versus relying on customers to ensure the temperature. I followed their instructions unfortunately, and it was a disaster Christmas meal. So disappointing.

Only in Nee Orleans! Love the Gourmet Butcher Block! Quality product, excellent customer service! Especially Iove the whole boneless chickens with shrimp dressing, andouille sausage, all the sausages, seasoned tri tip, frozen crawfish and shrimp corn chowder! And for a reasonable fee they pack it up in a styrofoam shipping box with dry ice so I can fly back home with it!

Beautiful meats and so fresh. Staff is friendly and quick to serve you. Has all my Cajun favorites from back home. Also love the butcher shop atmosphere has a real Cajun home feeling.

For years we have been talking about getting a turducken and as a surprise for Mother's Day, ordered one from this shop via gold belly. One hundred percent satisfied. thought it might be too spicy but the spice blend was delicious! added some drippings to gravy from a jar and WOW! Plenty of big slices of turkey/duck/chicken/stuffing, plus leftovers for all. Easy meal. Super easy carving. Everyone was so excited to see inside as I carved it. Don't know how they do this but it had to be quite a bit of work. Packaged with extreme care, it arrived on exact date it was supposed to. Would buy again.

The boudin king cake is delicious! As are all of their other products. Don't forget to grab a pan of bread pudding. https://blainerestaurantreport.com/2025/02/14/gourmet-butcher-block-gretna-la-report-806/

We have purchased and shipped to California: -turducken-stuffed deboned turkey (cornbread dressing)-stuffed chicken (crawfish rice & shrimp dressing) - sides of cornbread, crawfish rice & shrimp rice dressing - stuffed Pork chops- seafood gumbo (lots of crab meat)- shrimp & crawfish etouffee -turducken & pork sausage- jalepeno cheddar brisket sausage. The stuffed turkey and chickens are fabulous. We love the traditional cornbread dressing for holidays. The shrimp rice / crawfish rice stuffed chickens, I keep in the freezer for weeknight meals. It makes the best chicken and rice dinner. The gumbo is delicious, as is the crawfish and shrimp etouffee. I keep quarts of the etouffee and gumbo in my freezer for quick easy meals. The sausages are amazing, the jalepeno cheddar brisket sausage and turducken sausage are family favorites and I keep them frozen and serve over polenta for weeknight dinner. Overall very high quality food you would expect from New Orleans. The stuffed turkeys and turducken are foolproof & effortless for holidays meals. Everyone raves about them!But don't overlook the stuffed chickens, side dishes, and sausages. The chickens make for the best roast chicken dinners ever! They are so delicious and with the shrimp or crawfish stuffing it makes for an easy fantastic chicken and rice meal. Highly recommended 10/10

I have only bought Bodin there, but the food was delicious and the service was great. I'll be going back many times again.

Food is excellent ambiance is great It is a bit pricey but worth the money on most items
