Hadn't been in Coop's in over a decade and went with a group for lunch. Despite the crowd the service was personable & entertaining and our food was delivered promptly. Everyone said their dishes (and cocktails) were good, even the duck quesadilla which I was REALLY skeptical about.
Be prepared to wait and the service can be harried, but the food is solid.
I was half excited and half apprehensive about dining at this place after all the confusing reviews from Yelpers.
I'm happy to report that the place is Much more quaint and authentic on the INSIDE than the way it looks on the Outside. It looks like a seriously sketchy dive on the outside...and i almost did not step in.
The food was So-so. Definitely not amazingly awesome as some people have noted.
The establishment is more of a bar than a restaurant. Wooden tables and chairs and stone floor. It's kinda divey, but not in a bad way at all. And it's as clean as a local-type bar would be.
The service was good; the older lady who served me was very efficient and no-frills, which is exactly what you'd expect at such a place.
The food though...was not as stellar as I'd have expected/ hoped for, especially for my last meal in NOLA
Fried Chicken Plate:
- Fried Chicken- 3 pieces of dark meat (requested), fairly juicy but the crust was just OK, not Amazing like some people had raved. I wish it was more flavorful
- Rabbit & Sausage Jambalaya- Terrible! I don't know what everyone is raving about. Maybe it was a very off day for them...but my Jambalaya was absolutely MUSHY, cold and frankly, quite disgusting. I couldn't finish it...and believe me, i tried. But it was truly inedible. I hope it doesn't taste like this all the time
When you walk in and sit at the bar, look at the wall and you'll notice a camera. Smile, because you're on their live webcam on their site. I know this, because when I showed up here last night, one of my idiot friends who knew I was going to be there saw me on the cam and called the bar trying to buy me a beer....with paypal.....from California. http://www.yelp.com/bi...
Anyway, Truman Show aspect aside, this is a kickass bar. The bartenders are among some of the most entertaining I've come across (and I spend WAAAY more time in WAAAY more bars than I probably should), the beer selection is pretty good, and the jambalaya supreme is the best jambalaya I've ever had in my life. Seriously, this is good enough to fly across the country to just get a bowl of. If I lived anywhere in the area, I'd no doubt make this my local bar. Just remember to smile when you're drinking, because you're on camera...
The jambalaya was good but the sausage in it had an acrid burnt taste. We had it a couple of days later and it was better. Small bar with quick service. The second time there I ordered the fried chicken. It took FOREVER to get the order to the table and when it came, it was all dark meat. Very disappointing. My wife ordered the fried oysters and shrimp which was very good and the quantities were awesome.
Now these people know how to make a masterpiece. Jambalaya stuffed with crawdads, rabbit and sausage? Yes. The rice was reddened, as it should be, the spice was so beautifully presented, my mouth ached in pleasure.
I close my eyes and reminisce, the jambalaya brought me into my grandmother's kitchen when I visited for the family reunion. It reminded me of the round women sittin' around shelling crawdads, stewing rice, the heavily accented natives of Louisiana; creole..
Just beautiful.
Out of all all the culinary stops on my New Orleans itinerary, Coop's Place was probably the one I was most excited about. All those delicious photos my fellow Yelpers post to accompany their reviews have a way of imbuing a particular restaurant with this kind of unabated hype, while alternately making me fucking HUNGRY as I sit at my laptop dreaming of a vacation and food, but mostly just food ... needless to say, Coop's was a letdown simply because it was not the best meal I had in New Orleans (a pretty impossible bar to set, I realize) the four days I was there, and not even in the top five.
Food: Oh, where to start? I guess with our appetizer, which I can recommend just based on how good it tasted: Smoked Duck Quesadilla. Well, maybe that's a misnomer on the menu, I think. There HAS to be more than ONE quesadilla for the entire appetizer, right? Of course I was right! Oh ... actually it's more like one large quesadilla cut into two. I feel duped but continue eating anyway (while hoping to sneak a few bites from my girl friend's half) because it's just that good. It's pricey ($8.95) in terms of the portion, although it IS duck, and it is quite mouth-watering delicious ...
The girl friend got the Coop's Taste Plate at my prodding, which, just based on description, should have been the all-encompassing "Creole Cuisine for Dummies" handbook that would assuage all my curiosity; this is what I was hoping for. It wasn't; or it was just a poor representation of everything. Here's what it promises: a cup of Seafood Gumbo, Shrimp Creole, Cajun Fried Chicken, Red Beans & Rice with Sausage, and Rabbit & Sausage Jambalaya. Here's what it is: a bland and uninspired seafood gumbo (the bowl we had at the suspicious-sounding "Gumbo Shop" near St. Louis Cathedral and Cafe du Monde, right smack dab in the middle of tourist-trap country was really 10x better), a watery shrimp creole that was all tomatoes and peppers and little else (also paling in comparison to the stuff we somehow managed to whip up at the NOLA School of Cooking crash course) and red beans and rice that had very little (if any) sausage. The fried chicken WAS delicious, but how does it compare to Willie Mae's? I have no idea but I can't imagine trekking there to compare. The Jambalaya, which I was most excited about, was really disappointing. There was plenty of rabbit and sausage in there, but hardly any taste. I instantly regretted pointing my girl friend toward this grotesquely deformed inbred version over mine. My theory? It lacks the succulent tasso sauce (a bacon cream sauce) that is present in the Jambalaya Supreme, which is what I ordered. THIS is the Jambalaya you want to get at Coop's, and really, the only reason why I would ever go back (I shuddered after overhearing a group of diners seated nearby debating whether or not to get the gumbo or the creole). It also probably doesn't hurt that the Supreme is embellished with shrimp and crawfish too.
Last point of contention: You are a down-and-dirty, no-frills, local New Orleans bar and the only thing you have on tap is ... Jagermeister?
Atmosphere: Coop's is a bar that serves restaurant-quality food. It's pretty cramped in there for eating, but there is a lot more open space near the bar and billiards area. It's loud, like any bar, and there are a few TV's throughout and probably a dartboard. The kitchen is open really late (not sure if the quality holds up through the twilight hours), but that's a really nice plus. Either way, this is not a place to wine and dine your girl friend. The only thing I'd ever propose here is more Jambalaya Supreme ...
Service: Service was really nothing special (that's an aberration in New Orleans). Our waitress initially forgot the fried chicken on my girl friend's taste plate, which ended up being the only thing WORTH tasting on the plate.
Value: Everything was really cheap, except for the duck quesadilla, which ended up being the same price as our entrees. I'd go back just for the Jambalaya Supreme. Hell, I'd even get it to go.
Very solid pub. Nice layout and atmosphere. Pool table. Good bar lined with regulars. Efficient bartender. And apparently the food is great. I wish I could say more about it, but we weren't eating there that night. At least a regular tipped us off on the $6 bowl of steamed softshell crab claws. Sweet jesus they were great. Could have eaten bowl after bowl.
Really the only drawback was the wretched display of humanity waiting for a table and blocking the entrance. Seriously, if no one asks to see your disgusting boobs, don't show them. And if, when you nevertheless do so followed by your vile companion licking them publicly, at least have the decency to notice the dozens of people who poke their own eyes out in agony and horror ... Anyway, Coop's Place is a good place.
Picture this- 2 people with little knowledge of French Quarter fair wandering aimlessly looking for food. In steps the fabulous Yelp Iphone app. We consider going to Coop's Place, but keep walking because we think its too far away. We then hear some random drunk guy shouting how f''ing awesome Coops place is...We're in- and were not disappointed.
This place is tiny- waiters with facial hair and funky clothes- people who looked like locals everywhere- we were a little intimidated, but persisted. We found a table and were quickly asked if we needed a drink- Abita all around! What I couldn't figure out was- why no Abita on tap?
Then comes the menu- our mouth started watering when we saw the descriptions. We ended up both getting the "Coop's Taste Plate". The meal started with gumbo followed by a place that included a piece of fried chicken, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and shrimp creole.
My friend gave the best compliment to the chicken- "this tastes like my grandmothers"! The sad part was that her comment was based on a small taste- the rest of her chicken had been overcooked and not really edible. Mine on the other hand was perfect.
The gumbo, red beans and rice as well as the shrimp creole were seasoned well, but not really anything special. The Jambalaya on the other hand- OMG- it set a new standard of goodness. The guy who waited on us was very friendly and fast with our service.
We were so stuffed after eating half of our plates. We will definitely go back next time we are NO and beg for a well cooked piece of chicken and another plate of jambalaya.
Totally unrelated to the food, they boast a really cool cat who is very entertaining.
First time I laid eyes on this place, I was like, "California would call that, that, oh, and that a health violation". I sat down and smacked my-own-damn-self then shut up, because if you try the marinated Louisiana crab claws... you'll giggle with glee, as I did. N'rmind a health code, feed me.
Oh, and honey (the waitress), I hope you get tipped plenty because you were stellar!
Wow Wow Wow
My friend and I walked in there on a rainy day and didn't expect such a delicious meal. This place is not the nicest place and it smells like urinate. (one star deducted)
We were originally searching for fried chicken and I read about Coop's on my iPhone Yelp app. At last we ended up getting Fried Seafood Platter and Blackened Red Fish, both were simply amazing!
It was my first time having Blackened Red Fish and it tasted really good! The waiter later explained Blackened Red Fish is difficult to cook and many restaurants don't do it right and overcook it. But anyway, I love it a lot. The Fried Seafood Platter was nicely done but not as amazing as the Blackened Fish.
One more thing - Great service, highly recommended.
Had heard that the food was excellent and atmosphere was low-key and friendly. We got neither: my shrimp creole was just undercooked rice, bland shrimp and watery tomatoes. My guests said his red beans and rice with sausage was heavily buttered and he couldn't taste much else. The waitress all but ignored the two of us while she was incredibly rude to a family of five nearby. Pass on this Place.
Like so many Nola eateries, you have gobs and gobs of fried food. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's a shame that Coop's poboys dominate the menu (last time I went in for lunch it seemed everyone was eating fried crawfish, shrimp and oysters).
The real prize at Coop's is their jambalaya. So many places turn out crap jambalaya, but Coop's does it right: with great big chunks of pepper in a flavorful broth with super spicy tasso. They also do a great red beans and rice (slow cooked and peppery with plenty of stock meat).
If you go out back you can see where they cook all the meals: under the open sky. They have a big smoker and huge stew pots back there. Most back allies in Nola smell like sewage, but this back alley smells like heaven!
Anyway, skip the fried seafood and try something with real local flavor. Also, don't cross the waitresses because they WILL win in any bar brawl.
"Barfly" meets "Big Night". Food = 4; Facilities & Service = 2.
Delicious, smoky, brown, down-home, rustic Louisiana country cuisine served up by indifferent staff in a nondescript French Quarter bar -- complete with jukebox, pool table, video poker machines and nasty restrooms. Must be 21 to enter restaurant.
Best bets - Smoked Duck Quesadilla or Bayou Appetizer, for starters; and Coop's Taste Plate entrée: a cup of Seafood Gumbo, Shrimp Creole, Cajun Fried Chicken, Red Beans & Rice with Sausage, and Rabbit & Sausage Jambalaya.
If only they delivered, I'd be in hog heaven.
Went based on the local people suggesting this place to us and the fellow Yelpers...
We went on a weekday and it was the lunchtime rush. The lady at the bar was friendly but promptly told us that she was short a person and one of the cooks was in jail, which was a regular occurence she said jokingly....
The food was great but I think due to the short staff...was colder than it should have been.
This is a total dive bar but the food had really good flavor. I would try it again to see if I get a little better experience.
We had the "Taste of New Orleans" and the duck quesadilla. The taste of New Orleans was great and their Fried Chicken and Gumbo were great. The quesadilla was cold but seemed to have good flavor.
Props to them for the English Bulldog themed items on the wall and fancy Jukebox too :)
A bit intimidating at first, as we were the first few customers in this divey bar, but the staff was very friendly. We had the tasting plate, and the stand out was the jambalaya. Super thick and with amazing flavor! Really great fried mushrooms too!
This is the place that my wife and I still talk about eating at, 2 years after our last visit to New Orleans. I can still remember their Jambalaya, and she still pines after the deep fried 'gator.
Divey lookin' place, kinda small - but friendly, and very, very yummy food.
The Best. Ever.
I was in New Orleans for 4 days and ate here twice, breaking my rule of never repeating restaurants on vacation. I think about Coop's constantly. The best jambalayah... with rabbit and sausage... the red beans and rice are unlike any other. Oh, and the oyster po'boy is amazing. The fried chicken is delicious. Get the sampler platter thing. No wait, get the oyster po'boy. Actually get both. It breaks my heart that I don't live closer to Coop's.
If you want a plate full of "fried" this is for you!
Four of us were there on Saturday night around 9pm and had to wait about an hour. During our stay in NOLA we had heard amazing reviews of Coops Place so waiting in line was no bother. We did, however, share our table with four stuffy sorority girls which may have killed our experience at Coops. Just say no tourists carrying around their souvenir plastic cups with scowling faces!!
I had fried oysters and mushrooms which gave me a stomachache but my friends all enjoyed their meals immensely. In fact, one of my friends ordered a rice and sausage dish but couldnt finish it so she got a doggy bag. That doggy bag proudly went out with us for the rest of the night and she finished her meal the next morning. Apparently, it was some of the best sausage she had ever tasted. Another friend ordered the fried chicken and ate every last bit of it!
Portions are generous and the pricing is right! It is divey. Unpretentious. There is even a house-cat who has a bed in the window. This isnt some high-class joint so if you lower your expectations you will do just fine.
I can't believe I didn't mention the jambalaya. Ya gotta get the jambalaya!
Good solid option in the Quarter. I've been here a few times and I've always been had a tasty meal.… Read more »
Willie Mae's stopped taking customers so we headed over to Coop's. The fried chicken was really juicy. I suggest ordering 3 pieces and taking any leftovers home because the price difference is very minimal. It comes with the rabbit and sausage jambalaya which was also pretty delish.
3 pieces of fried chicken with the jambalaya, enough said!
Can't believe I forgot to review this place-- this was the best meal I've had in all of New Orleans. It is definitely not a fancy restaurant, if anything-- it is just a no frills dining experience.
If you haven't been here, go for the sampler dinner dish. You get to try a little bit of everything, all of which is good.
Highlights:
1. Jambalaya. So good. I just got hungry writing that.
2. Fried chicken. Best fried chicken I have ever had, and I mean, I've had a ton of fried chicken. Take my word for it-- skin is perfectly crispy, and it is seasoned to perfection. Not your "classic" fried chicken, as the batter includes a variety of spices and flavoring... but the chicken is phenomenal.
Drinks are super strong, which, isn't a bad thing. I can't wait to come back to NO so I can hit this place up again.
I just watched The Coop webcam and literally started salivating.
http://www.coopsplace....
Best Jambalaya ever, hands down, on the table, fork and knife in hand, in the dark, greasy lips, and pulsing tummy. Jubilant thumper and wilbur put to rest in their local niche spices, greens, and grains. Heart in mouth fried chicken.
After literally being courted for hours my different restaurants in the Big Easy, I sat myself in this dark little dive, ordered an Abita local brew, and pretended to be busy writing and reading when really I was living a food fantasy.
An older woman who was traveling around the world gave me a heads up, that you can get a dinner sampler here. Lonely Planet didn't particularly entice me about this pub "that was built in the 80s with absolutely no thought of ambiance."
I don't need fancy art and chandeliers for this down home food.
There are pitbulls and cooks smoking weed in the back room. It's dark in here. There are signs that say "Be Nice or Leave." I think maybe I'll strike up the conversation with the people around the bar, but they are characters from around the country talking about sports and shooting the shit with another character waitress. And I am tired and sober in NOLA.
I do recommend the sampler plate if you are new- you can try it all for like $11 bucks.
JUMBALAYA=rabbit and smoked pork sausage, creole rice, tomatoes, onion, bell peper, local seasonings, shrimp, tasso. Sassyfrassy! I french-kissed this dish all over the place.
FRIED CHICKEN=Chicken melts off the bone.The fried chicken was a beautiful bird that flew into a hot vat of delicious crunchy sea. This is what fried chicken is supposed to taste like. I have to say, I couldn't really get at the jumbo and pickled okra. Oh! I like okra. do i like jumbo? it's a stew with vegs, okra, sassafrass ground, crab claws, oysters. Red beans and rice was nice, classic dish. My stomach got to know a whole people. But the fantasy was complete when I had my threesome with the jumbalaya and fried chicken.
Young waiter is hot, and grungy, and Southern, yum. He defends his restaurant no longer having alligator apps after Katrina. The bus girl who I befriend tells me a different story... She thinks she might want to be a cook or a bartender and make more money. I encourage her.
I wish I could have shared this with someone I like. Or just not have been so damn tired from zero sleep the night before, and five hours walking around the city aimlessly. Then maybe I could have enjoyed myself and really wrote in the coop instead of pretending to. After eating, I am still lonely, but less so. I had The Meal! Now I can face the music.
I had only two nights to spend in New Orleans and besides filling up on music, I wanted to get a taste of the cuisine. So, the guy at the hostel sent me and my sister to Coop's. Having never eaten cajun-style anything, I went for the taste plate. My first recommendation: Don't order this unless you love rice, a whole mounding plateful of it. Don't be indecisive like me and just choose a dish. Preferably the fried chicken and jambalaya.
It started with a small cup of seafood gumbo, which essentially was a watery soup with rice. a variety of seafood and shellfish sort of scattered in, and spices. I have nothing to compare it to, but I was glad I didn't order it as my main. Then came the main plate. The shrimp creole came with two pieces of shrimp sort of hidden in a lot of rice and tomatoes. It was definitely forgettable. Next to it was the red beans and rice with sausage, which is exactly what it sounds like. It had more flavor than the shrimp creole, but still wasn't anything too exciting. Next to that was the rabbit and sausage jambalaya. This and the fried chicken (which, unfortunately was only a small piece) were my favorite. While the other rice dishes were a little watery, the jambalaya was full of flavor, but after about two bites, I just couldn't eat anymore rice.
If you're looking for a legit creole/cajun place to eat downtown, go to Coop's. It's definitely a divebar type spot so its not clean or fancy by any means, but it's my favorite place to eat in New Orleans (even over the nicer places like Commander's). Great food and atmosphere, just what you'd expect from a local restaurant in the area.
It's small, so expect to fight for a table when it's busy, but sometimes the waitress will keep things in order on a first come- first served basis. The food is awesome. Great rabbit and sausage jambalaya, fried chicken, and shrimp creole. Everything is spiced just right, and the fried chicken is ridiculously good.
Don't let it's Divey appearance fool you, one of the best meals you will EVER have in New Orleans is right through Coop's doors. I would go back to New Orleans just to eat at Coop's, just to have the Duck Quesadilla (and I hate Duck normally) and the Rabbit/Sausage Jambalaya.
It was our first trip to NOLA, and every local person we met said we HAD to eat at Coop's. So we gave it a try and would have regretted it had we not. Flavorful food and reasonable prices!
The gf & I loved our visit here.
Rude service, but hey, for some reason it kinda fit the feel of this place so we didn't take it too personally.
Delicious food! Reasonable prices.
Coulda been a little cleaner, too. Still, this is one place I'd return to next time in N'awlins.
Try 'em out! :)
This "divey" place with the huge reputation didn't do it for me. I don't know if I got there too late and they were scraping the bottom of the barrel or what.
I had the seafood gumbo, it was complex, dark, spicey, and smokey... really good, but absolutely no broth as I see in some of the other pictures. And that about describes everything I had there. The jambalaya supreme... to which I would add the words "burnt" and "dried".
I tried some of my friend's pasta...it was ok. Very heavy and smokey.
The shrimp creole just wasn't very appetizing to me.
Alot of my friends love this place. I will be back next time and give it a second chance.
Oh, and the attitude! Their attitude puts new yorkers to shame.
4.5 stars and this is ONLY for their fried chicken.
We looked all over the French Quarter for a place that had good fried chicken. What's a trip to the south without tasting some of that, right?
Coop's Place is seriously a dive... it's dark and dingy and also located further than many of the more popular places in the French Quarter.
One person in our group was really hungry, and also was really craving for chicken, even though we had just finished a beast's feast at Acme. So only one order of chicken was placed.
After about a 20 minute wait, he was presented with the take out box. Our 20 minute walk home cooled it down, and even though it was basically at a lukewarm temperature, the chicken was still out of this world. There is no way I can go back to KFC or Popeye's after this :(
The meat is juicy, the skin is flavorful... I can only imagine what it would taste like HOT!!!
Goto Coop's for their chicken, I can vouch for it!!!
We had a dinner reservation at Cochon a few hours before eating here so we decided to order light. We each order an Abeta Amber and just a single order of the fried chicken w. jambalaya. Upon walking in we found the atmosphere to resemble a lower east side dive bar (complete with crowd) The server was rude but I didn't expect otherwise after a quick glance at the place. The chicken was decent. The skin was crispy with a nice cajun kick but unfortunately it was also dry. Oddly, when I made my way into the extremely dirty bathroom, I noticed an excellent smoke smell.. I wonder what that was coming from.
Well really a 3 1/2. Food was marginal, but cheap. Interesting decor. Would I go back to eat? Probably not, but hey, they are open late. So maybe.
Classic late-night food in the Quarter.
Ordered the Cajun chicken and the fried oyster and shrimp platter. Both were perfect for 10:30pm on a Thursday (10/16/09) night.
This is my kind of restaurant, a great find in the touristy stretch! The fried chicken is great, the bacon green beans to die for but the coup de grâce is the rabbit & sausage jambalaya! Service is spotty, but friendly and the cocktails (sazarac & mint julips!) are strong as hell! They even have a sweet kitty that lives on site.
Be prepared to wait because it's no secret you get huge portions for an inexpensive deal!
Yes, jambalaya
Yes, cheap drinks
Yes, two adorable house bulldogs
No, Fish Meuniere - sauce was too heavy and sweet
I would have given it 6 stars if the service wasn't soooo terrible. I was so dissapointed I almost walked out.
I went there for lunch during my visit to NOLA. I was debating where to eat the best fried chicken, and trusting my fellow yelpers I came to Coop's Place. I arrived there alone, sat myself, and waited for a good 10 minutes before even being aknowledged. The lady took my order and came back another 20 minutes later with my drink. I kept looking back at the bar where she was standing trying to hint het that I was thirsty and waiting for her.
BUT, then my fried chicken, rabbit and sausage jimbalaya and coleslaw came....aww I forgot about the wait, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. The coleslaw amazed me, it was perfect. The jimbalaya was good but certainly not the best, and the chicken was all I expected and more. Hands down best fried chicken I have had in my life, and I love fried chicken. This chicken reminded me of my childhood in Venezuela. Down there the fried chicken is just slightly breaded to perfection, just like Coops.
I highly recommended if you can put up with terrible service. Unfortunately the bartender was rude and disliked tourists, and I was just a regular girl not a flashy tourist with a camera, Cafe Dumonde bags and a map.
Our first meal in New Orleans, our last meal in New Orleans. Highly and repeatedly recommended by local online services as one of the places in this touristy area SUPER popular with the locals, every local we mentioned this place to would throw their head back and say "excellent / you can't do better" etc. Other the two meals we worked our way through the menu, jumbalaya, gumbo, the sampler plate is recommended if you only have one opportunity to eat there, and everything was completely excellent, redfish po boys
While the service can be snarky at times, the food is outstanding! There's a girl with HUGE boobs who is mean, but lovable in a care bear sort of way. I think her name is Stella. Highly recommend the fried chicken & the duck quesadilla. The bulldog adds charm to the bar even though i think it has sex with the cat. Boo-ya!!!
Food was amazing. This place was recommended to us by some local New Orleans folk, and I was not let down. The food is authentic, and tastes amazing. I got chicken served on a bed of rice with a spicy cream sauce, that also had shrimp and tasso (A Cajun ham), with a side of cajun green beans. Hands down the best meal I had in New Orleans. If you're looking for some great Cajun food I highly recommend this place!
OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH I loved this place! Yes I am definitly a fan. Best fried chicken I have ever had in my life! The flavor is wonderful and the skin is really crispy. comes with jambalaya which i am not a huge fan of in general. They make all of their own salad dressings, tried a couple and they were good.
The place is absolutely filthy, flies everywhere, general drust and grime. A lot of locals hanging out, drinking. the service is incredibly rude and dismissive but sometimes that can really add to the overall ambiance. we saw one fight at the bar that was broken up by fay-who is either the actual owner or the de facto one-everyone was so blasee about it, it must happen all of the time.
bottom line, the place is a dump, ther service sucks but i wouldn't change a thing about it. especially not their fried chicken!
Seems like a lot of reviews call it "local," and I was referred by a local, so I guess it holds. This is one of those places where the workers are known as being surly, and it's a total act, but a harmless enough one to put on, right? Sample joke: "Hey buddy, what's that on your head?" "What?" "Your hair."
I ordered the Cajun fried chicken and rabbit jambalaya. Both were really good, would definitely recommend and return. I hadn't had jambalaya this mushy before, so I was a little put off by the texture, but the taste was complex and satisfying. The amazing Cajun chicken had that really deep peppery skin that makes you think...Cajun. "Real," chill atmosphere, strangely in the middle of lots of tourist shops.
