Are you ready to treat yourself? There's one no-fuss eatery down in Houma that's serving up some of the best desserts in Louisiana, and we think they're worthy of a road trip from any corner of the state. Just be sure to come hungry, because you're going to want to try just about everything on the menu, and that's before you even get to the sweet stuff!
When it comes to down-to-earth, country cooking, A-Bear’s Cafe is the answer.
Established in 1963, this charmingly rustic eatery is one of those places where you feel right at home from the moment you step inside.
One of Houma’s oldest restaurants, this family-owned restaurant is everything you’re looking for in a Cajun-style restaurant.
They often feature local musicians so you can enjoy your meal to the tune of sweet, sweet zydeco, jazz, and swamp pop music.
From country fried steak...
...to monster po'boys, A-Bear's has a menu that covers all your bases.
Cajun food? Country food? Yes to both.
If you like catfish, they have some of the best.
One of their signature dishes is the Catfish A-Bear, featuring perfectly fried catfish strips topped with a special buttery crab sauce that'll have you rethinking all of your culinary decisions, it's that good.
Of course, you've got to get a bowl of gumbo while you're here.
One of their most popular dishes, A-Bear's serves both shrimp and chicken and sausage gumbo, and they fill the bowl to the brim! Served with potato salad for an extra dose of southern flavor.
Just make sure you save room for dessert.
A-Bear's is known for its sinfully delicious desserts, all made from scratch every day.
Every day is different, and they are so popular that they often run out, so you'll want to make sure you peep the desserts first to claim yours before they're gone.
Berry cobblers, lemon meringue, peanut butter pies... you never know what's going to be on the dessert menu for the day but one thing is for sure: it's going to be delicious.
You may even want to break all the rules and order dessert first!
Don't forget to give them a follow on Facebook so you can stay up to date on their daily specials and live music schedule. If you've ever visited A-Bear's Cafe, share your experience with us in the comments! Have you tried one of their desserts? We want to know!
