Louisiana is known for many great foods, but fried chicken isn’t one of first that comes to mind. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have some truly delicious, finger-licking-good fried chicken joints peppered throughout Louisiana, and some of the best places to get fried chicken are in unlikely spots. Poche’s may be known for incredible Cajun and Creole cuisine, but the fried chicken is the most underrated thing in the menu, and it’s some of the best fried chicken in town!
Poche’s has been a favorite for locals since it opened back in 1962.
Located in Breaux Bridge, the family owned and operated market and restaurant is a popular go-to spot for anyone looking to pick up some specialty meats, homemade boudin, sausages, and more.
You can also find all of your favorite (and some hard to find) Cajun spices and everyday convenience items. It’s the ideal one-stop-shop for all of your needs.
The restaurant has been a tradition for generations of families in Cajun Country. The no-frills dining room is a cafeteria-style, and it can get pretty crowded at peak times, so be prepared!
There’s a reason it gets so crowded, and that’s because of the food. With over 50 years of cooking under their belts, you can bet they have some of the most authentic Cajun staples you’ll ever eat.
After you've feasted on delicious fried chicken, be sure to check out the ready-to-eat meals to take home for later. These heat-and-eat-meals are perfect for lunch or dinners in a pinch.
