C'est Bon has been around since August of 1986. Back then, they served just the basics of Cajun cuisine, such as po' boys and boiled crawfish.
However, news of the deliciousness spread, and this little family restaurant became a local legend.

Over 30 years have passed since those days, though, and they've since acquired a larger building to support their ever-increasing fan base.
When you walk in, you'll be greeted by an amalgamation of positively mouth-watering smells.

The scent of the cooking spices and delectable dishes is as much a part of the atmosphere as the decor.
