Suire's Grocery & Restaurant

13923 LA-35, Kaplan, LA 70548, USA
(337) 643-8911

Located just minutes from the bride's childhood home and a staple in Cajun Country for the last 47 years, Suire's has a little something for everyone. It's owned and run by two sisters, Ms. Joan and Ms. Lisa, who will be quick to tell you that "it's God's store, we just manage it." Once featured on the late Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown", Suire's has drawn quite the crowd of locals and long distance travelers alike. LeRyn and her two brothers practically grew up in this little store and have eaten just about everything on the menu.


Bride's Recommendation: Shrimp Stew & a Blackberry Tart

Groom's Recommendation: Piece of Pecan Pie

Five Oaks Grocery

(337) 643-2547

Located 2 minutes from St. Anne's.


LeRyn would have lived and died as a cashier at Five Oaks Grocery, if Jesus hadn't called her to Damascus. In the three years leading up to her move to Ohio, she could be found behind the counter of that store telling her favorite co-worker, Donna, to "be nice!" to the customers. Five Oaks is owned by proud Catholics, Brian and Radina Hollier, who have become like a second family to LeRyn. Be sure to grab a link of boudin while you're in the area!


Or have yourself a $1 scratch off ticket and a BBQ Burger like MawMaw Rita liked to do!

We love you. We want good things for you.

Please grab some Pepper Jack Stuffed Boudin Balls and a coke when you're passing through Maurice. You can't miss it. (Mostly because Maurice is "technically" a Village and "definitely" a speed trap, so you'll be going about 45 MPH.)

Pinchers

Pincher's, established in 2021, may be the new kid on the block BUT their team hit the ground running! They know that the best seafood is "fresh off the boat" and are passionate about bringing people together through food, which is what us Cajuns do best!


Bride's Recommendation: Crawfish Wontons

Groom's Recommendation: Fried Alligator

Drip Coffee House

World famous for its oysters on the 1/2 shell and outstanding seafood, this Dupuy's tradition is carried on by owners Jody and Tonya Hebert and will be for many years to come."
