Hmmm. Zanzibar is an okay place for Southern food. After traveling to New Orleans this year and eating the food there... it's kind of hard to come back and compare the food.
My friend invited me to go to happy hour with her at Zanzibar so I agreed. Shaker Square is so quaint, I do enjoy frequenting the area from time to time.
She tried her first hurricane-NOLA style...eh, not that good, made way too strong.
We decided to try a whole bunch of dishes: the catfish po' boys (they were probably the best dish- I really like po 'boys..), the jerk wings (okay), the collard greens (not so much), and the grits. Meh.
I thought the atmosphere of the place was super nice though- kind of classy, dark lighting, chill place to go. But Southern food? Meh... it was okay. Just okay.
