    Everything is delicious! I tried the étouffée, chicken creole, beans and sausage and the incredible miracle chicken. You can have samples before you choose.

    My family knows Cajun foods after living in New Orleans and this is the real deal! Great food at a great price. You can take your plates next door to Hoi Paloi and enjoy your meal with a craft brew.

    This place is great. Unique atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food! You can't go wrong here. I recommend taking advantage of sampling and split your plate with the two that catch your palette

    Tasty food and friendly service for a great price, all served super quickly. Oh, and you can even order takeout and bring it to the brewery next door!

    Go combo and be thoughtful. Don't just go for your "favorites" - think about the pairing. If they have something FIRE and something corn (maque choux) those pair beautifully: spicy + sweet.

    Tried the gumbo, pretty good, love they have an assortment of hot sauces to use here, they will sell-out of the gluten-free cornbread here so didn't get to try it.

    I love the ambience here, and you can port your food next-door to Hoi Polloi. But I found red beans & hot links to be a poor choice - really felt just like mush. Bad enough that I might not come back.

    The chicken creole is fantastic. Also the Bacon & Beef Stroganoff is delicious.

    They'll let you (even force you to) have samples of the menu items before you order. Not that it helps much, because they're all delicious.
