Music, Cajun Hibachi, and Classic Louisiana Dishes
Well-known Acadiana landmark, the Silver Slipper returns to the intersection of two historic highways, La-31 and La-741 (better known as Pecaniere), between Leonville and Arnaudville.
New owner and long-time resident of the area, Brian Leger, said that in the 1930s and ‘40s- when the establishment was known as The Silver Slipper Inn- people would come from all over to “Dance, eat, sleep, and fight.” Whatever your pleasure, the Silver Slipper Inn was the place to be. People would even come by boat with it being conveniently located right on the National Water Trail, the Bayou Teche. Look forward to their dock on the Teche returning soon.
They also plan to keep the music tradition strong and have already hosted performances by local country, Cajun, and zydeco musicians on their outdoor stage. You can dine inside or outdoors. Their patio even shows off the original roofline of the Silver Slipper Inn. You can eat and dance and enjoy the beautiful scenery of La-31. Check out their Facebook page to see who’s playing.
The Silver Slipper’s menu ranges from familiar dishes like burgers, chicken and sausage gumbo (which was featured in our Gumbo Taste Test video you can
watch here), and a seafood platter with fried alligator, crab cake, fish, shrimp and fries to Asian fusion.
Try their Pecaniere roll which is a crab mix and cucumber sushi roll, deep fried, and served with eel sauce, siracha, and sesame seeds, or try one of their hibachi dishes like Cajun fried rice with your choice of meat cooked with bell pepper, onions, Cajun soy sauce and rice. On Sundays, enjoy their Loaded Bloody Mary with a side of shrimp and grits out on the patio.
The Silver Slipper is open Wednesday through Thursday from 10am-9pm, Friday and Saturday from 10am-10:30pm, and on Sundays from 9am-2pm. Call 337-595-5080 for more information.
