Henderson is a tiny town over in St. Martin Parish that’s home to fewer than 2,000 residents. Don’t be fooled by the lack of folks, this is easily one of the best restaurants in Henderson, Louisiana, and a must-try when you’re visiting Cajun Country.
Overlooking the beautiful Bayou Portage, the only thing better than the views is the food.
