For over 30 years, Ruby’s Café has kept locals coming back for more in downtown Eunice, Louisiana. By now, locals know the lunch menu by heart and there’s a reason why it hasn’t changed in the last three decades – because the recipes are tried and true. Every Monday, baked chicken is served. Tuesdays, the restaurant fries up thick, juicy pork chops. Wednesday, they prepare a Louisiana specialty called Cajun smoked ponce. Thursday is pork ribs, and Friday, they serve their famous crawfish étouffée over fried eggplant. More options are available on the menu, but these are the old favorites everyone looks forward to each week. The restaurant is also open for breakfast, so drop in for their homemade biscuits and jelly.
