ABOUT US
Authentic
CAJUN CUISINE
The Gulf of Mexico is home to a wide range of seafood that makes up the staples of Louisiana and Cajun cooking. Cajun cooking was inspired by a combination of cultures, including the Spanish, Native Americans, and African Americans. Creole and Cajun cuisine is typically full of fragrant spices that give your taste buds a kick. At Boutin’s Seafood Steakhouse and Oyster Bar in Carencro, LA, we create authentic Cajun food that will make your mouth water.
Serving the freshest Louisiana seafood, shucked oysters, and classic-cut steaks, Boutin’s showcases the type of cuisine that locals love to eat. Lafayette-based owner “Lynn Boutin” has been in the restaurant business for over 35 years, and his attention to detail shines at this casual, family-friendly dining spot.
Popular starters include the Crawfish Wontons stuffed with fresh crawfish, jalapeño, pepper jack, and parmesan cheeses served with plum ginger sauce, Stuffed Mushrooms, chockfull of crabmeat dressing and accompanied by house-made tartar sauce, and Steak Bites, tender steak tips prepared lightly fried or grilled with a side of garlic butter sauce for dipping.
Our Oyster Bar offers fresh shucked Raw Oysters on the half shell, traditional Rockafeller Oysters, baked with spinach, artichoke, and parmesan cheese, Chargrilled Oysters with garlic butter and cheese, and new Diablo Oysters that are jacked up with pepper jack cheese, bacon, and jalapeños.
House Specialties include Bayou Boutin – seasoned grilled fish filet topped with crawfish étouffée, Crawfish Enchiladas – a spicy blend of cheeses, crawfish, onions, and peppers topped with Cumin Mornay sauce, and Crabmeat Eggplant – fried eggplant medallions served Napoleon-style with grilled crab cake, topped with creamy lump crabmeat Alfredo sauce.
On the Steakhouse menu are Cajun Style Ribeye, New York Strip, Filet, and Hamburger Steak topped with cheese, sautéed onion, and mushroom Cajun gravy, all served with Cajun rice, seasonal vegetable medley, and a twice-baked potato.
Traditional Cajun fare includes Po’boys with fried or grilled shrimp, oysters, or fish served on homemade French bread dressed in jalapeño mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. On the lighter side is the Zydeco Salad topped with grilled shrimp, blackened fish or chicken, and grilled andouille, and the Caesar Salad with grilled or blackened shrimp or chicken.
Be sure to save room for dessert – the bread pudding takes four days to make and is topped with a homemade praline sauce. Or you can opt for a personal-sized red velvet or turtle cheesecake straight from Junior’s in Brooklyn.
Open seven days a week, Boutin’s features a Lunch Menu serving reasonably-priced items including ½ Salad with a cup of soup or gumbo, Shrimp or Crawfish Tasso Alfredo, and Chicken Bayou Teche – pork-stuffed chicken breast with bacon RO-TEL cream sauce served with fries and jambalaya.
