As one who has spent many days in New Orleans, let's just say this ain't N'awlins. The meal started ok with an excellent skillet cornbread with butter and honey. The menu had the right stuff. The fried green tomatoes were fine on their own, but their delicacy was masked by the overwhelming mustard-red sauce they were swimming in. The barbecue shrimp were simply horrible. Instead of the classic preparation of head on shrimp baked with btter, lemon, and worchestershire, these tough jumbos were covered in a salty tomato sauce. Thr crawfish etoufee was the same odd red sauce. Sorry, but etoufee is a butter/roux sauce; this was like ketchup. The 'bugs were gamey as well. It was so bad we sent it back immediately and requested a check. A sorry excuse for a meal; shame on the proprietors for conjuring up a cajun restaurant without ever visiting Louisiana.
Pros: cornbread, live blues
Cons: terrible food
