Excellent dishes. Tried the Bacon wrapped dates, Grilled Tuna, Spinach Dip, Grape Leaves and all were very tasteful. Cousins is a must try. Also visit Homsi's for your boudin, sausage and alligator selection

Great food options and atmosphere. Service is always exceptional. If you're looking for a nice place in Lake Charles to have dinner with friends, Cousin's is on the top of the list. It is a popular spot so call for reservations on Fridays and Saturdays.

Everything was great! The steak wasn’t seasoned good but it was still edible but there was a couple huge parties so we decided that was probably why the steak wasnt seasoned well..
