Recommendations
"In New Orleans, a place where frying is a fetish, Jacques-Imo's can't be beat—although only locals seem to know about it."
"The Jacques-Imo spin, adding all those extras, seemed insane, but the dish was splendid, thanks to the butteriness of the steak and the freshness of the expertly poached oysters."
"Most agree the wait for the modest-looking but innovative food is worth it: Cajun bouillabaisse, and fried rabbit tenderloin with Creole mustard sauce are among the only-at-Jacques-Imo's specialties."
"Ask locals for restaurant recommendations in New Orleans, and almost everybody mentions Jacques-Imo's. We understand why: cornbread muffins swimming in butter, and the insane yet wickedly brilliant shrimp and alligator-sausage cheesecake."

"On my visit last week, the dish that stood out (other than the fried chicken!) was the fried grits with cheese."

"The fried chix here is some of the best in town... especially when paired with the peerless alligator sausage cheesecake."
"All of the dishes I've loved in the past here are still here, notably the fried chicken."
"Although the wait is long, food at this Oak Street cafe is worth it, especially for the innovative take on Cajun bouillabaisse."
