What it is: A Colorado-based Cajun mini chain serving up gumbo, po’boys, fried oysters, beignets and anything else you’d expect to get in Louisiana.
From the adults: The hush puppies and beignets we ordered went fast, which probably doesn’t say much because how could sweetened, fried dough be anything but delicious? My seafood gumbo was good, and my vegetarian friend appreciated that she could order gumbo as well.
From the kids: In spite of being way off in terms of knowing what a catfish actually is, Sam ordered the catfish bites and French fries ($6). He devoured his basket. “I love the French fries. They (the catfish bites) look like granola put together.”
I couldn’t get any comments out of Austen, who had fallen asleep in the car on the way down, about her shrimp spaghetti ($8) outside of, “It’s good.” She mostly just ate the shrimp out of it.
Parental stress rating: Non-existent. We got the best, most engaged, helpful service that I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time from our server, Cody. He brought out a platter of gumbos and soups for us to try almost as soon as we sat down, and he was incredibly patient and kind to the kids. If we lived closer, this would be a frequent go-to.
