Breaux Bridge tends to get all the glory when it comes to crawfish, but there’s one rustic Cajun restaurant in Louisiana that’s right next door, and it’s worth your while. Crawfish Town USA in Henderson has been a staple for many in the Atchafalaya Basin region for many years, and it’s time you swing by and give them a try. 

You can’t miss this iconic red barn-like building.

Warm and rustic, Crawfish Town USA is a perfect family-friendly Cajun restaurant in Louisiana that’s a welcoming, casual joint to gather and enjoy a meal.

When it comes to Cajun and Creole cooking, Crawfish Town USA takes the gold.

CT (as the locals call it) is always cooking up scrumptious specials that’ll blow your taste buds away, like these crawfish pop tarts.

Even the salads have a Cajun spin.

No trip to CT is complete without a pound or two of crawfish, so roll up your sleeves and dig in.
