Voted best new restaurant in the country! It's a little further up town but if you are already planning to explore that part of the city then it's a perfect place for lunch and dinner if your a foodie. Service is excellent and the food is amazing.

So call ahead to make sure they have them, but if its crawfish season this would be the place to go for sure! If it's not crawfish season or they don't have them they DO have amazing poboys and oysters. Otherwise it's a complete 100 year old dive bar. I go for the crawfish. Also call ahead to make sure the kitchen isn't closed!

A local favorite. Have a frozen spiked coffee drink - its what they're known for! The bartenders are real and not overly superficial with their service. Be sure to check out the back part as well, could be some local music / dance sessions going on!
