Rikenjaks Brewing Company

We ordered boudin balls, Cajun mac and cheese, and sliders. The boudin balls were tasty, though not as spicy as we had hoped. However, the dipping sauce that accompanied them was perfect. The sliders weren't very visually appealing, but the meat was cooked just right and well-seasoned. As for the mac and cheese, it was absolutely a 10 out of 10—packed with good Cajun spices and flavor. The atmosphere was wonderful, with ample space for dogs to join us. The outdoor seating had plenty of shade, making it comfortable no matter the time of day. We will definitely be stopping by again on our future road trips!

Since Rikenjaks opened, the food has steadily declined, but the atmosphere and staff have always been fantastic. The drinks are excellent, the people are friendly, and it’s a wonderful family-oriented spot that often features live music, both indoors and outdoors. I would recommend it, but not if you're specifically seeking the best food in Lake Charles. I hope to see the food return to the high standards that I believe this establishment initially set. Thanks for reading!

I was truly impressed by the entire experience. The scenery was stunning, especially with the fire pits glowing on that cool evening. The waiter was fantastic, offering a selection of the best beers, along with delicious food and appetizers. I had an amazing time and highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a great outing, whether you're bringing your kids or pets. It's definitely the place to be!
