So, I rarely try any \"cajun\" restaurants outside of south Louisiana. Places like Mimi's are as authentic to me as Taco Bell is to our south of the border friends. \nBut, this place is close to hubby's office and I saw something I NEVER see on menus...BOUDIN. This got me excited. If they have boudin, they've got to be legit, right?\nThe best thing was their crawfish etouffee. Hands down. They do use cream of mushroom soup in it. Depending on the recipe your momma uses, this may be \"cheating.\" But, it was good. \nThe shrimp poboy was good. I can't give a place 4 or 5 stars based on a poboy since that's pretty hard to screw up. And, you can get poboys at places like Bubba Gump and Lucille's. \nThe gumbo was okay. But, I am biased and rarely like any gumbo as much as my own (even at restaurants back home). \nThe boudin was terrible. Seriously, terrible. Even if you've never had real boudin, you won't like this. Maybe it was bad? It had the same flavor as some dressup lipstick I had as a kid. I had to spit it out in my napkin. \n\nI do like that they fly in crawfish. And, I like the decor. It's simple...just like many of the hole in the wall places I've enjoyed in Louisiana. \nI'd go back for a poboy or etouffee if I was in the area. But, wouldn't make a special trip for it."^^ .
