If you find yourself driving through Acadia Parish, you have to stop in Crowley. Known as the “Rice Capital of America,” Crowley and rice have a long history together and it’s celebrated every year with the annual International Rice Festival. But there’s one other local landmark that put Crowley on the map, and that’s the Rice Palace. Let’s take a closer look.
You’ll find the Rice Palace conveniently located just off of I-10 in Crowley, Louisiana. It’s your one-stop shop for all your needs. You can fuel up your car, your stomach, and (hopefully) your wallet.
For lunch and dinner, you can feast on traditional sandwiches like Reubens and turkey melts or splurge with hearty pasta dishes or maybe even a nice top-quality ribeye.
And the casino is a great place to pass the time and test your luck. The Las Vegas-style video poker casino features 50 video poker machines and they’re always hosting cash giveaway contests, so swing by and maybe you’ll win big!
