| - Having lived in Louisiana for two years, overall I wasn't impressed with the food, atmosphere, etc. overall. Maybe it's in a good location, but it wasn't visible from the road (or not as far as I could see). The restaurant was randomly decorated with "cajun" propaganda, posters, and articles. One article on the wall was about New York City and didn't fit in at all.
My friend and I ordered the house wine and it was decent, but I guess you get what you pay for. Also, we ordered the spinach-artichoke dip for an appetizer with garlic bread; I can't complain about that dish. For dinner, I got the Baby Kay's special with red beans and rice and seafood gumbo. I enjoyed the gumbo because it had crawfish in it and the red beans and rice was okay, too. I was going to order the crawfish etoufee, but it was $18.25, when the other entree was $11.25, and I had spent a lot on my vacation. A green olive coleslaw was included with the entree, but it contained a lot of mayo, and I didn't eat any more than one bite. That was kind of my fault, though, for ordering coleslaw.
i thought the decor was really dated and the waitress/bussers asked me like five times if I was done with my gumbo, which I was not.
Good cajun food is hard to find beyond the bayou.
