Recommendations

"The cornbread itself is worth the trip."
"Inhale the spicy aromas and taste the jambalaya."
"Close your eyes, inhale the spicy aromas, taste the shrimp gumbo and imagine yourself on Bourbon Street."
"A crab cake platter has been a favorite of mine for years. The cakes are well browned and topped with a dollop of remoulade and served with red beans and rice, sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Everything on the plate goes together like Thanksgiving turkey and sides."
"Jambalaya is a must. This is a thick, somewhat dry version with shrimp, andouille and chicken, but it’s topped with a splash of extra tomato-heavy sauce. The vegetarian version is actually somewhat better, with its unique combination of chewy smoked tofu, spinach, red beans and crunchy pecans."
"No Cajun restaurant is complete without gumbo, and this version is called “Maxie’s Mighty-Mighty Gumbo” with chicken, andouille and crawfish. It’s rich, dark, topped with rice and comes in three sizes: a cup, bowl or a jumbo dinner portion served with coleslaw."
"It’s sweet and cakey, unlike Southern-style cornbread, but it’s absolutely fantastic."
"The signature dish here is Jambalaya: a spicy classic rice dish bursting with flavors and plenty of goodies. If you’re not so into spice, order it with a fried egg on top to temper some of the zest."
"It was scrumptious."
"The thinly sliced tomatoes were dipped in a lightly seasoned batter, fried, and served with a spicy remoulade that was so good I could’ve eaten jars of the stuff."
