I posted this in the lounge as well, but thought I'd post here as well. I'm in New Orleans for the week and need advice on some good local food. Not looking for any kind of chain restaurants, or fancy schmancy stuff. We're looking for some authentic, down home cajun eats here guys. Places the locals know and love, hole in the wall joints, or other kinds of dives that serve up the goods New Orleans style. Doesn't have to be right in the city, but definitely close by if not. Thanks!!
Deanie's Seafood one block off Bourbon Street. Ralph and Kacoos near Bourbon Street also. The Crazy Lobster on the river between the aquarium and riverwalk. Ate there last time I was in New Orleans.
And I'm free Thursday if you want to go make a fishing trip or private swamp tour. I'm about 45 minutes from New Orleans.
I've always enjoyed Mulate's. Here's a link for reference... http://www.mulates.com/
Ralph and Kacoo's is another good spot. Most of my trips to NO are a bit hazy after a night or two on Bourbon St. Just stay away from the lucky dogs and you should be fine.
jacque-imo's . Hole in the wall and great food. Just make sure you get there early.

Always forget about Mulates. If you go, call and get a reservation. They are always busy.
Thank you all for the suggestions so far!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

No worries - we'll be out and about in town! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

yes indeed! The rabbit is off da chain http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
GW Fins off of Bourbon is also excellent. A little upscale, but great.

WOW! This place is NUTS - and fun too. Back from all day out on the town, mostly eating and walking around...
Had breakfast at Mothers - definitely good and a fun atmosphere.
Went across the river on the ferry to Dry Dock for a bowl of seafood gumbo and a cold http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/embeer.gif - also very good.
Hopped on the street car up to Central Grocery where we had a muffaletta - AMAZING!! I'll go back for another for sure.
Down Bourbon street had a couple http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/embeer.gif and browsed around a bit. It's HOT here today http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Then to cafe du mond for bignets... now back here to relax and have some more http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/embeer.gif in the air conditioner!
Thanks for all the tips and suggestions! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
Glad you had a good time today. If ya wanna try some chargrilled oysters find drago's or acme oyster. Awesome food. Drago' s slogan for their oysters is that they are the best single bite in the city

We were stuffed when we walked by Dragos, but sounds like we'll have to find room to give these oysters a try before we leave! Thanks for all the tips... I have Masperos on the list since it seems to be highly recommended as well. Any more advice, I'd love to hear it! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
I vote for drags and deanies
You guys are having more fun than should be legal http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
I cant go to New Orleans and not go to Drago's http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif
