Bon Creole

I ate at Bon Creole for the first time and it was sooo good! ✔️✨️ The ladies up front were so nice. We had a lil chat when the lunch rush died down and we got a lil laugh in about my name. 😊 I couldn't eat it all but I'm about to pay this bread pudding a lil visit tonight! 🤤 I really wanna try the spaghetti and meatballs. So, I will be back! 🩷✨️🤍

I had the mixed gumbo. It had a little bit of spice and very tasty. My guy has the seafood combo po'boy which he enjoyed. A great experience for us.

Food here was phenomenal. They have daily specials too. Great atmosphere and the place was super busy. Don't have to wait long for food to come out either

Small places have the best food Gumbo was excellent,all true Cajun requirements were met and the staff was Johnny on the spot cleaning and make sure was orderly.

Not only was the food delicious, the server with the dark hair and boo tee was so very nice. She interacted with the customers, showing special attention to an older gentleman. Would highly recommend. We had the seafood plate combo poor boy. On spot! The seafood, the bread, the mayo, the all of it!

Great place for exceptional po boys. My family and I stopped here en route for Houston after a vacation to visit family. Shrimp po boys are incredible, and kids chicken baskets are tasty too. Definitely recommend Bon Creole to anyone in the area.

The gumbo was outstanding and definitely homemade. Fried fish and shrimp was delicious, and not coated too much in breading. They let the seafood speak for itself.

Amazing food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable dining experience in New Iberia! This spot is an absolute must-stop. The atmosphere is inviting, the staff makes you feel right at home, and the food is extremely delicious—the kind you can’t stop thinking about long after the meal is over. If you’re anywhere near New Iberia, do yourself a favor and eat here. You won’t be disappointed!

Service was excellent. The food is excellent. All was great and it was great, and I will definitely be back for the next time I go to get some food.

I now live in the Pacific Northwest, but I'm from South LA near New Orleans. This little hole in the wall place comes highly recommended from the locals! (my cousins from New Iberia, LA). I've eaten there once when I visited New Iberia from Houma LA, where I lived, and it's true-their poboys are delicious and overstuffed! It was very busy at lunch when I went. Recently I recommended this place to my son, who will visit the area in the next few days.

Awesome place was very shocked and satisfied with the food will definitely be going back.

Bon Creole has my favorite fried seafood poboys anywhere so we try to stop in when we are in New Iberia. The gumbo is as good as homemade, too. Portions are large and very fairly priced. This is a quaint little order at the counter joint with friendly staff. It is well worth a visit.

Food is fantastic. I got the seafood po boy sandwich meal. It was absolutely stuff with seafood and well worth the price. The fries were actually very good. Perfect crisp with just the right about of meat inside, and not too meaty like thick steak fries. The negative is this place is in the middle of nowhere and if your visiting it's quite a long detour. Staff was friendly enough but not super welcoming.

It's always a good sign when there's a steady line of locals waiting to eat. Cinder block building full of bread pudding and the food my Louisiana dreams are made of. Get off the highway and eat. It's worth it.

Your order at the counter and pick up your food from the order window. We were there on a Monday so one of the specials was red beans and rice with your choice of a fried pork chop or sausage link. My hubby order this with the pork chop, I ordered the chicken and sausage gumbo which came with potato salad. His plate also came with cornbread (super sweet-not a fan) and banana pudding(delicious). The pork chop was huge, perfectly battered, seasoned and deep fried and i thought that he was going to eat the bone also! My gumbo was delicious, perfectly seasoned, great amount of meat. The potato salad was just kind of bland/tasteless, but everyone has different tastes in their favorite potato salad! I would most definitely return many more times when we are in the area. We had to cut our trip short or we would have returned on this visit!

The po' boys are huge and very good! My husband and I ate here before we visited Avery island and it was a little out of the way, but so worth it. We had many po' boys during our visit to NO but this one was the best!

Gumbo and a Roast Beef Po'Boy. Nirvana! It was one of those hidden mom and pop gems. Clients from New Iberia took us to lunch. Beyond amazing food.

Out of towner here that found this place on a Yelp search for gumbo. Don't let the front facade of this building deter you. It's a basic lunch counter with legit Cajun dishes. The Gumbo is delicious. The overstuffed Po boys are legit. Do yourself a favor and eat here. I'm glad I did.

Best shrimp po boy I've had in a long time. The bread is perfect! Nice and soft with that perfect French bread crunch! The shrimp are crispy and abundant. The decor is probably not for the average PETA member, but at least you know the meat is fresh. (You'll get that joke if you go there--and do go there.)

Sandwiches and plate meals. Food was good , no complaints. Restaurant is acceptably clean but old and needs some updates. Tables available counter service only.

Absolutely fabulous food! Gumbo,poboys,platters. Yummm Friendly service. Good portion sizes.

Oh heck yes! So glad we found Bon Creole, like really, really happy about it. If you find yourself in the area, get here as soon as you can. This is the real deal!

I've been visiting this area of Louisiana for over 10 years and eaten at many seafood restaurants. For freshness, flavor, just plain Creole goodness and more, this place is top of the line. Can't say enough good things about the meal my wife and I had (catfish baskets with seafood gumbo and chicken & sausage gumbo). We have to leave tomorrow, but I'm considering another meal at Bon Creole before we leave.

Always good food! Friendly counter service. Never disappointed with the food. Decor is fitting for the restaurant

THE FOOD THE FOOD THE FOOD! Big, delicious po boys, a half would feed most! Delicious gumbo! Great service and wonderful servers! Do not hesitate eating here!

Best Gumbo in Acadiana. The Po'Boys are also unmatched in the area. The meatloaf plate lunch on Tuesdays is also hard to beat. Service is always a prompt as possible for a busy as they are for lunch and dinner.

My cousins took me here to try some authentic po' boys and this place did not disappoint. Service was very easy and all the wait staff were really nice. I got the half crawfish po' boy, since I was told that the full sandwiches were very big. After ordering we found a seat next to the alligator head and below the many deer mounts on the wall. My crawfish po' boy didn't take too long of a wait to get and even the half size was pretty big. This was probably the best po' boy I've ever had. The corn meal breading on the crawfish was crisp, but light and not greasy, the bread was soft and the tomato and lettuce gave it some freshness. We had a great lunch here, I would most definitely come again the next time I visit my family down here.

Recommendation from someone we met at grocery store. Did not disappoint!! Got shrimp poboy! Was AMAZING!!

Everything was delicious. When I come here to visit my daughter I will definitely be back. I found the best poboys right here. They are huge and delicious !!! Definitely deserves a 5 Deadrienne

They live up to their name. This little Jewel Has all sorts of goodies & daily plate lunches. Trust me... there overstuffed Shrimp poboys are Delicious!! If you are in that area or out of that area you must go!! Everybody is polite Especially Karla!! Bryant

Great spot for a late lunch!!! Love the rustic feel and food was amazing!! We had the oyster and shrimp Po'Boy and seafood gumbo. Both delicious!

I had fried shrimp basket. Was not expecting popcorn shrimp. It was good. The cocktail sauce was more like ketchup than anything else- no horseradish detected. My friend's fried fish basket was great! Small busy restaurant known for a lunch crowd. Order at counter and pickup at inside window. Bus your own table. It's a fun experience- very old school.

Grilled shrimp Po'boy is my go to. 10/10. The fries are okay. Could be fresher. Prices are great.

This is a GREAT cafe style Cajun restaurant. Their daily lunch specials are delicious. Burgers and fried seafood are great. Shrimp poboys are some of the best we've ever had. It can be a bit noisy, as it's a small building with limited seating and it's usually busy.

Still a great shrimp poboy filled with tiny shrimp. The roast beef you can skip. Not overfilled like others and no side of au jus which would make it better. The seafood gumbo was good and enjoy the potato salad.

I took my mom to lunch one afternoon and this is where we went. I am no expert on New Iberia so she picked. Since she is from the area, I figured she knew what she was talking about. I was right. Bon Creole is a walk-up lunch counter. Weekday specials are available as well as a standard menu. The counter is immediately in front of you as you walk in and seating is off to the side. Order, get your drink and wait to be called to get your food. I had a couple of picky kids with me who were throwing a fit as we tried to order. I have failed as a parent by not bringing them to more places like this. Learn from me and bring your kids here. Places like this are a Louisiana Treasure. For food I decided to go with chicken and sausage gumbo and a shrimp salad. Both were very good. Don't expect some boujie New Orleans Creole Gumbo. Expect solid, legit Cajun Gumbo. This is as real as you can get. If you find yourself in New Iberia around lunch you should add Bon Creole to your list.

I heard great things about this place so I got the gumbo. Horrible!!!! It was all liquid just 2 tiny shrimps and not a good flavor. I've had great gumbos , suppose to be thicker with much more ingredients not just a liquid soup. Sad not going back.

Fun hole in the wall Cajun joint we heard about from some locals. I was dying to try Cajun food while visiting Louisiana and this place hit the spot. Friendly fast service, reasonable prices and great tasting food. Got a shrimp poboy, sm seafood and chicken and sausage gumbos. Everything was excellent!

Holy smokes was this po'boy delicious. A shrimp Poboy will always be the first thing that I order when I come to Louisiana. This one was so amazing. The bread is perfect. The shrimp is perfect. The potion size is HUGE. I got a full sandwich to Split between me and my husband. Half was still about 8" long and overstuffed with shrimp. Amazing. I will definitely go back again- probably tomorrow.

The food was great and plenty of it. My wife had the catfish basket. It had at least 6 pieces of catfish and a large serving of friend fries. I had a whole roast beef poor boy. More than I could eat.

We were visiting family and they recommended this spot. It did not disappoint! Food and fresh and service was fast and friendly! We will definitely visit this place again.

Definitely a must stop when in new Iberia, the food is always fresh and delicious, I've never been disappointed in whatever I order here. I recently got the fried chicken po boy and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was !

Stopped in for a Friday lunch. Dayum. The shrimp poboy was overloaded, the bread was perfect (as others have said), and the seafood gumbo was on point. My companions got the chicken and sausage gumbo, and the overflowing shrimp platter. Left here so satisfied - and the place has just the right local vibe. Don't change anything!

Old fashioned establishment Best SHRIMP app Boy EVER Super nice people here and in this town Diners Drive Ins and Dives needs to come here

5 stars isn't a question. You get exactly what you come for at Bon Creole. Po Boys are poppin. Must stop in New Iberia.

I ordered chicken sausage gumbo without rice and potato salad. It was very, very, very good. I would highly recommend this little place.

Phenomenal hidden Gem! I'm so glad a customer recommended this restaurant! I walked in not knowing what I wanted, one of the cashiers asked some questions and bam, we got gumbo. A little different from what I've had in New Orleans, but holy smokes it's a new favorite. And let's not forget the potato salad, eggy, good amount of mayo and dill- woof, don't sleep on it. Perfect to pair with the gumbo. I will certainly be back, but with a bigger appetite!

The food at Bon creole was amazing, the overstuffed po-boys were definitely the star of the show. The service was very quick and friendly, definitely felt at home there. The ambiance is like a southern grandfathers garage/shop it's got some cool old taxidermy along with some intriguing art by local artists.

A welcome surprise for New Iberia I had heard from several people that the food here was great. They have awesome Po boys as well as good seafood type baskets, but the highlight and the surprise was when I read, they had gumbo on the menu... so I decided to try the chicken and sausage gumbo. I got a large no wait. I got two large servings of it and I did not know it until I got the gumbo at my table that I was getting potato salad too in little separate containers. The potato salad was good as well. The gumbo was amazing --the most surprising factor-- you need to understand that a lot of restaurants don't make good gumbo--. It was very tasty like gumbo I would make at home and it was a little spicy, but that added to how wonderful it was ---the spiciness was in the sausage it seemed. I would highly recommend people go there and get the chicken -sausage--they had seafood gumbo too -- but I'm not a lover of seafood type gumbo. I want my seafood separate from gumbo. In closing, I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially the gumbo.

Wow! If I could give this place 10 STARS I would.....!!!! I had the combination Poorboys with fried shrimp, fried oyster's and fried crawfish. The home made bread is called LeJEUNE's French bread was out of this world crazy delicious..! Don't forget to add Tabasco Sweet & Spicy Sauce and I had a Corona.....

I love this hometown restaurant in New Iberia. If you're visiting to see the Shadows on the Teche, this is a great place to round up your southern Louisiana experience. The seafood platter was awesome! It's an order-at-the-counter place, so casual and authentic feeling.

I love the food at this spot! The po-boys are super stuffed and made with bread so fresh it makes reheating leftovers a breeze. Also, do yourself a favor and try the shrimp and corn soup. I like it better than the gumbo...delicious!

I was in Lafayette for the day, but staying overnight in New Iberia. I asked our lunch waitress in Lafayette what Cajun restaurant she recommends in New Iberia. She said Bon Creole! Upon checking in at our hotel in New Iberia I asked the front desk agent the same question. She said Bon Creole! 2 for 2 we went for it. Both said it is not much to look at and they were right. Don't be discouraged by appearance both outside and in . . . just know the food is aplenty and VERY good. The portions are generous in size, so come hungry. It's a dive, but if you want good food at very reasonable prices, this is your go-to place in New Iberia.

Great food with a special lunch every day. Very clean and they serve very generous portions. Staff if friendly and courteous. Food is fresh and has a large selection of dishes. I'm going back soon

Excellent service, delicious food, cool tables, & great murals on the building. Everything was delicious and the staff provided top notch customer service. This is a well-oiled machine and should be a definite visit in New Iberia.

Cold rainy night. Gumbo hit the spot! Their gumbo reminds me of my grandmother's! That's the best complement in my books. I had the seafood and sister had the chicken with sausage. Both delicious. Can't be missing when in the New Iberia area.

Really Good Food And Good Service The Gumbo Is Amazing The oyster Poboy is number one. All The Food Is Great And Good See Y'all Soon Again For The Gumbo Seafood And PoorBoys
