Vautrot's Cajun Cuisine

Robin Odell

After my dad's funeral we wanted the family to have a catfish dinner in his honor so we called Vautrots. They were wonderful! They stayed open for us past their lunch hours and the food was great. We had the catfish and chicken toes dinners and dessert. Service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend!

Best étouffée I ever had!! Gumbo was delicious too. One of my favorites in the area, and coming all the way from Europe to go to Vautrot’s!!

I've been wanting to come here for several years, I finally made it! I had told my wife about wanting to try Vautrot's awhile back. She grew up in this area and she didn't know where it was at! We had to drive into Beaumont to pick up some things and thought it would be a good time to do lunch and take in Vautrot's. We arrived right at opening time and we were promptly seated. The inside had a very nice ambience to it with tables and booths. Our waitress was right on the spot and took our drink and appetizer orders. For appetizers we ordered the Fried Pickles and Alligator Bites. For our lunch order we both ordered the Emerick's Sampler platters. The Emerick's Sampler comes with a cup of Seafood Gumbo and a cup of Crawfish Ettouffee, also two fried Catfish filets, fried shrimp, fried Oysters, and fried Crawfish tails. You get a salad with your choice of dressing and one other side, and I picked the Onion Rings. My wife had Hush Puppies for her side. Our waitress brought bottles of Ranch dressing for the fried pickles for her salad, a bottle of Tarter Sauce, and a bottle of Cocktail Sauce. The fried pickles were really good and fried to perfection as was the Alligator Bites. The Gumbo was really great with a dark rich Roux and was thick like good Gumbo should be! The Ettouffee was just as good as the Gumbo, the taste was great as well!!! The Catfish, Shrimp, and Oysters were all fried to perfection as well, not over cooked at all! Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us frequently. Everyone was very friendly and outgoing. We'll be going back so you can bet on that! I think next time I'm just going for that really Great Gumbo! They do have Seafood and Chicken and Sausage Gumbo if you were wondering. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're anywhere in the area. If you don't get anything else, get Gumbo!!!

Probably the best bread pudding I have ever had. Delicious food all around. It was not loud like most places are now days. Service was excellent.
