Best place to get boiled crawfish off I-10 between Texas state line and I-12/I-55?

Driving home to Mississippi next weekend and will be taking I-10 from San Antonio until we take the I-12 exit in Baton Rouge, then I-55 North exit in Hammond.
Any suggestions on places with good boiled crawfish that aren't too far off the interstate?
ETA: Had a brain fart. Fixed the route.

Cajun Claws n Abbeville is 20 or so miles south of I-10 but the best.
Side question, why wouldn’t u take I-12 n BR rather than going down to LaPlace?

Exactly. You're adding 50 miles to your trip going to LaPlace and then back up 55.

I screwed up. Fixed the route in the OP.

LA Boilers in Baton Rouge off I-12 is pretty good
It’s the O’Neal Lane Exit
We had some last week, they were small but cooked really well

Randy Montalbano’s in BR. Not too far off of I-12.

Hawk's in Rayne?
ETA: Nevermind. I just saw they're not opening this season.

Isn’t there a Cajun claws just off 10 on exit 92?

Richard's in Abbeville have surpassed Cajun Claws.

LA Boilers off of I-10 at Essen Ln. Take a left on Perkins and it's about 3/4 mile down on the left.
Crawfish are seasoned perfectly and if the weather is nice, you can sit outside on the patio.

Can't help you on the crawfish.
But, if you're traveling the I-10 corridor then brought yourself a cooler and load up at:
Rabideaux's (LA Exit 44, Iowa, LA)
Kartchners, Billy's, Best Stop, or Don's (LA Exit 97 in Scott, LA)
And if you want to enjoy some amazing TX BBQ coming through Houston some stops not far off I-10:
Brett's BBQ Shop, Mason Rd (about 1/2 mile south of I-10), Katy
Roegels BBQ, Voss Rd (this one's about 5-10 minutes off I-10), Houston
Truth BBQ, Heights Blvd (about 4 miles off I-10), Houston

If it’s Thursday-Saturday then one of my close friends just opened up on the frontage road in Jennings. Habetz Family Crawfish. But it’s a boil and go so you’ll have to take it to go eat at the park north of the interstate. If you want a restaurant Darrell’s in Jennings does a good job. If you don’t mind getting a little off the interstate C’est Bon in Mermentau is my absolute favorite boiled seafood anywhere.

Keep em coming. We are going to do a slow crawl through Louisiana so I'm gonna try to hit up every recommendation.

Cody's in Sulphur is pretty damned good.

Not the same place as Abbeville location. In fact, owners of the two places have feuded a bit over the name.
My understanding is the one at Exit 92 is pretty damn good as well, though.

They have actually started selling boiled crawfish at their Scott location.

They do a damn good job.
Also, I like DI's in Basile alot for boiled crawfish as well. Probably about a 15 minute drive North of I-10 on LA 97, off Jennings/Evangeline exit.
