Men's Health Mag: Fried oysters, on a big honkin roll, with mayo, lettuce, and hot sauce. Say no more. Grab an Abita, a local beer that goes great with the city’s deep-fried menus.
@sloane: This locals favorite does not disappoint. Can't decide between shrimp or oyster? Get a half and half, dressed. Delicious!
Eater: 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]
