If you live in the neighborhood or find yourself there, go to Jaspers Peak. Honestly, I can't see making the drive from far away, but it's a great neighborhood spot. Friendly, cozy, with almost a "Cheers" like quality at the bar, but no "bar food" found here. The menu is eclectic New Orleans/southern home cooking/classic American delicious. You can find some relatively healthy dishes as well as more decadant southern classics, and the wine list is decent.
