Driving home from work I was thinking of what I was going to eat for dinner (as usual). Not having a whole lot of time to cook anything, I wanted to pick up something in a hurry. Frostop came to mind because I know I can never go wrong with a Lot-o-Burger!
I remember heading to Frostop in Thibodaux with my parents when I was a little girl, back when it was on the bayou-side next to The Rinky-Dink. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been ordering the Lot-o-Burger Special with cheese…large beef patty dressed with Frostop’s special blend of mayo and mustard, lettuce, tomato, chopped onions, and cheese (which is optional, although I’m not so sure why). Heaven. Juicy, delicious, and always cooked to perfection.
We all know about the Lot-o-Burgers…. so onto other items of goodness. While waiting in line to place my order, I noticed something on the counter and got curious. Getting closer, I see Uncle T’s tea cookies! YUM! There is “old-fashioned goodness in every bite”! I have to admit that I couldn’t even wait to get home to try my dessert; I ate 1/2 of one of the cookies while waiting for my order. Soft, fluffy, scrumptious, and made right here in Thibodaux! You can find Uncle T’s tea cookies in various places around town: Rouse’s grocery stores and a few other convenience stores.
Always ordering the famous burger, I decided to go with something “new” for a change. Boy am I glad I did! The roast beef poboy is amazing! Who even knew there was anything other than the burgers available? I got home, opened the wrapper, rolled up my sleeves (seriously…this step is a must, unless you want gravy seeping into your shirt sleeves!). It probably rivals Bowzer’s experience at the Goal Post in Raceland as far as the number of napkins needed goes.
Shredded beef, lettuce, mayo, tomato, flooded with gravy on a piece of French bread. While most would agree that poboys are best made on Leidenheimer bread, this was still fabulous! My mouth is watering just thinking about it again!
Lets not forget that ordering a frosty mug of Frostop’s root beer is a must. It would be some sort of blasphemy to dine in or take out and not have the root beer as a companion. It’s so good, that many times one glass won’t be enough.
So – next time you’re in a hurry looking for something to chow down on, head to Frostop’s new location on Canal Boulevard in Thibodaux – you won’t be let down! You can also enjoy at other Louisiana locations in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, LaPlace, Raceland, and Houma to name a few. Trust me, the big mug is hard to miss.

Nothing better than those frozen mugs! Incedentally, several years ago, I got to tour Thompson meats in Slidell where the Lot-o-Burgers are made. The secret is that they mix real butter in with the ground meat. Now, if I could just figure out that “special sauce”!

As best as I can tell, the sauce consists of a mix of mayo and mustard. I also think that there may be some relish in the mix also. Feel free to find out and correct me on this as I would love to know myself.

Think you’re pretty close Gino. I believe there are minced onions and dill relish along with the Mayo and Mustard. It’s good whatever it is!

At the FrostTop in Thibodaux, if your root beer goes low, they will refill for free. Can’t beat that!

Nope, wrong on all accounts. Original secret recipe intoduced by my father-in-law (now with the Lord). He owned the Frostop on the Bayou since my husband was a little boy and we now have grandchildren. The restaurant is still in the family!

Thanks for the info although you did not divulge into what it really is that makes up the “sauce”.

O.K., I was on the fence, thinking maybe I should eat lite tonight. Started thinking about Frostop rost beef and checked online to see if it came on a bun, maybe a few less calories. Anyway, it’s off to Frostop and then a bath to get all the gravy off.

Next time you are out this way, you may wanna try the Frostop nearing the downtown Houma area. Pretty good. and the same rootbeer mug just indoors.
While coming back you may wanna try the best hamburger Po-Boy in The Houma, Thibodeaux, and probably every place in between. The French Loaf. They have quite a few others, but I only eat hamburgers. But it is one of the best I have ever had.

I’m going into Thibodaux on Wednesday and may just have to pass by The French Loaf!

It makes me hungry just thinking about it! I hope you enjoy! And if you try the roast beef cool but get a hamburger Po-boy to go. You will not be disappointed.

By Far the best Burgers on the Planet…and the Root Beer in those Thick Glass Frozen Mugs is beyound Great. I am moving back to Louisiana just to be near a Frostop, somewhere between Raceland and or near Thibodaux. My favorite place was the one in Raceland and there was one a long time ago near the Hospital on the Bayouside in Houma..The Burgers here in Florida are like everything else here..it looks good, but has no taste.

I’m trying to figure out where my own history fits in to Martha’s comment (#6) – my Dad, Leroy Lunceford, owned both the Frostop on the Bayou and the one in Raceland (I believe) from around 1961-1963. He added the little side dining room, and used to drive around Thibodaux with that Frostop mug mounted to the roof of his blue ’56 Chevy. If anyone remembers him or eating at Frostop during that period I’d love to hear from them: email me at roadmaker@hotmail.com. Dad passed away in February of 1999.

I also like the fact that this is also retro dining experience that is also a nice change from the golden arches and paper drinking cups.
The frosted mugs are more aesthetics, but to me, they really do make the root beer taste better!
