One of the most underrated signature foods in Louisiana is the meat pie, and we know where you can find the best meat pies in Louisiana: Lasyone's.

When you want the best meat pies in Louisiana, you go straight to the source. Welcome to Lasyone's.

James Lasyone has been tinkering with his famous meat pie recipe since the 1950s. Over the years, many have been inspired to add their own version to menus all across the state, but this is where it all began.

Established in 1967, Lasyone's has been a popular pit stop for both locals and tourists in Natchitoches, and for good reason.

The tiny but mighty restaurant fills up quickly during peak times, so be sure to get there early to snag a table.

Lasyone's is credited with inventing the Louisiana meat pie, a delicious pocket of dough fried to perfection and filled with seasoned meat.

So simple, yet so delicious.

It's the perfect pairing for just about any meal. It pairs well with Louisiana staples like red beans and rice, fried catfish, or gumbo...

Which are all items you'll find on the menu.

...but it's also a great companion to your eggs, pancakes, and hash browns.

Lasyone's also serves breakfast, so whether you start or end your day here, meat pies are always on the table.

In 2008, the crawfish pie was introduced, adding even more of a Louisiana spin on an already delicious Louisiana staple.

Try one of each and see which one you prefer!
