Third Generation Eats
Cajun/Creole soul food cooked the way our family has cooked it for three generations: slow, seasoned with love, and made to be shared. Order pickup from our trailer on West Landry Street.
Three ways to get a plate
Pick it up hot from the trailer, let us cater your event, or come find us where we are parked during special events.
Order Pickup
You will find us at 910 W Landry St in Opelousas on Friday to Sunday. Place your order, we will confirm a pickup time, and it will be hot and boxed up when you pull up.
Catering & Events
Family gatherings, church functions, company parties, graduations, homecoming, and weddings. We bring the full setup - pots and the flavor.
Find the Trailer
You might find us out and about during special events and such in the community we serve. Follow us on Instagram to see where we'll be and what's cooking.
What we are known for
Louisiana staples, cooked low and slow. Everything is made from scratch, the same way it was made at our grandmother’s table.
Crawfish Fettuccine
Louisiana crawfish tails folded into a creamy, well-seasoned sauce over fettuccine. The dish people come back for.
Smothered Meat & Gravy
Cooked down for hours until it falls apart, served over rice with gravy worth sopping up. Sunday dinner, any day.
Fried Catfish
Cornmeal crusted and fried to order. Crisp outside, flaky through the middle, and even better next to the fettuccine.
It started as Sunday dinner
Third Generation Eats did not start as a business. It started as Sunday dinner. Three generations later, we are still cooking the same way: slow, seasoned with love, and made to be shared.
The recipes did not come from a book. They came from a kitchen in south Louisiana, passed down by watching, tasting, and being told to stir. Nothing gets rushed, nothing gets shortcut, and every plate leaves the window the way we would serve it at our own table.
Bring three generations to your event
Birthdays, repasts, church functions, graduations, weddings, company lunches. We cater across Opelousas, Lafayette and the wider Acadiana area, with drop-off trays or the trailer on site.
