My husband is from New Orleans and we go out of our way to eat at Baby Kay's (we live in Gilbert!). It's as authentic as a restaurant in NOLA and one of the best restaurants in Phoenix overall- for good tasting food at a reasonable price. I get the Baby Kay's combo with Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Red Beans and Rice, and Green Olive Coleslaw (OMG So freaking good!). We order extra links of Andouille sausage to add to our beans and rice. The bread is excellent and soaks up the little spoonful of gumbo broth at the bottom of the bowl so nicely. My hubby orders a Turbo Dog and raves about the overall flavor combo of the Turbo Dog and the gumbo, etc. The poor reviews surprise me because I have never had anything but a great experience, service and food quality-wise. I love on certain nights they have the live Jazz music (singer or sax player). I highly recommend Baby Kay's to my clients in from out of town, family and friends visiting and especially locals. Locals =you will be glad you took my recommendation.
