LaDeaux's Bayou Kitchen & Smokehouse

LaDeaux's Bayou Kitchen & Smokehouse LaDeaux's is a dream come true for the Buckners. Together they've created a menu to showcase the best of both culinary styles.

Brandy was born in Louisiana and loves putting her own twist on traditional Cajun food and Moose is an experienced pit master. LaDeaux's was established by Brandy and Moose Buckner in 2023. However, their love affair with food and eachother started long before that. The couple first met on July 4, 2007 when Moose was invited by his best friend, Alan to hang out at the lake with his wife and sister

-in-law (Brandy). Brandy made BBQ Shrimp and a few other cajun dishes for the small family gathering and Moose brought his boat and some beers to share. Since Moose is a barbeque aficionado he was super excited to try the BBQ shrimp that day. However, he was in for a big surprise...because contrary to what he envisioned Brandy wasn't making shrimp served up from the grill. Instead she dished up a bowl of jumbo shrimp in a delicious sauce made of spices, garlic, fresh lemon and bay leaves served with crunchy french bread. From then on, Moose was hooked on cajun food and Brandy. Two foodies creating mouth watering cajun and barbeque dishes with unique flavor profiles from locally sourced ingrients. Their eclectic blend of traditional barbeque blended with iconic cajun comfort food will leave you craving more.

Happy Tuesday Cajun-Que fam! Sorry for the delay in getting our schedule to you this week!! We were extremely busy last week serving, shopping, prepping and catering a very momentous occasion. 🎂🥳🎅🍾

On Saturday we had the distinct honor of helping celebrate a very special man for his 65th birthday. Many of you might recognize,Mike Hilliard as he serves at numerous local Christmas events. We first met Mike when we were foster parents. For well over a decade we watched Mike as he donated his time to be Santa for Florida's most vulnerable and often forgotten children. He continues to give his time and talent each year. It Is truly remarkable to witness!

We feel so blessed we were able to cater his special day and that so many friends and family came together to celebrate this very special man.

That said, we're taking a couple days to regroup, work on some business needs and tend to some family affairs. As you know we are a small family run business and we always want to ensure we continue to keep family first. We appreciate your understanding!

This week we will ONLY be out on Friday (12/5/25). We will be serving @ Eustis Heights Elementary for a private event in the morning and then will be at Lake County Euros located @200 Southridge Industrial Drive, Tavares for their "Open Haus" event from 6pm - 9pm. This event IS open to the public. So come by and check out some sweet rides and grab some of your favs from our menu. ⚜️❤️🦞

We look forward to seeing you soon, but remember until then..... Do Good, Be Good and Eat Good Food! 🫶🏼

Cajun-Que Crew! Thank you so much to everyone that did a Turkey Day preorder or came out today for lunch/dinner! It was an awesome day seeing all of you and hope you get some much needed downtime the next couple of days. I’m sure we’ll do a heartfelt post tomorrow, but tonight….its time for comedy!

In less than 45min, the SNL Thanksgiving is airing! Yeah I know, we could stream it anytime of the year, but it’s kind of a tradition in our house. We love that our kids are starting to think Adam Sandler movies are as funny as we do. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not…

Again, thank you all and until we see you again, Do Good, Be Good & Eat Good Food!!!! - Brandy & Moose
