Amazing fried chicken, often called the best in town. The food and atmosphere are quintessential New Orleans, among the best you’ll find in town. [Eater 38 Member]
Get there early & enjoy your food in a relatively quiet & peaceful bar setting, or get there late, dance your ass off, & feed your soul. Get the patatas bravas & thank us later. [Eater 38 Member]
It’s impossible to say any shop has the best po’ boys, but they make a strong claim to that title here. They’re expensive for po’ boys, but they’re large and worth every penny. [Eater 38 Member]
The fried chicken rivals that at nearby Willie Mae’s, and the fried catfish will be some of the best you’ve ever had. [Eater 38 Member]
The pho and banh mi here are excellent, but regulars know that the house specialties (the goat curry) are where it's at. If you love calamari, their fried squid is on point. [Eater 38 Member]

A meat-centric spot chef Isaac Toups and his wife Amanda. House-cured meat and house-made sausages (plus other non-meat options). Oh, and they have insanely good Doberge cake. [Eater 38 Member]
The Deep South-inspired casual eatery blends New Orleans classics with Delta-inspired dishes. Think cornhusk tamales, pimento cheese plates and fried catfish with hushpuppies. [Eater 38 Member]
West Africa meets Europe, Asia, and the Tropics at this cafe in the Warehouse District, offering a range of non gut-busting dishes. [Eater 38 Member]
The restaurant itself is not much to look at, but the service is friendly and the "patty" pies are great too. Avoid the lunch buffet, and just order off the menu. [Eater 38 Member]
This classic family-owned, neighborhood haunt serves giant frozen mugs of soda and beer, huge helpings of red beans and rice, pasta, fried seafood, and a killer shrimp remoulade. [Eater 38 Member]
