Let's face it, when you are craving a hot dog, you want it to be the best. And at Dat Dog, we can tell you that is all they serve, the best. The flavor of the dogs here is absolutely unbelievable. But the key to this place is picking the perfect toppings and boy do they have the toppings. Expect the food to arrive fresh and hot and the quality is always the highest that you will find anywhere.

This place is an institution when it comes to breakfast fare. One of the things that you will notice right away is how much the staff genuinely like being at work. They are always joking with each other and the patrons. Event the customers pick up on this friendly atmosphere and it would not be surprising if you leave with a new friend or two. The prices are going to astound you and the coffee is delightful. Be forewarned, this location is not that large so you might have to wait for a bit but hang in there, it will be more than worth it.

Fantastic food prepared and presented at this location. Once you experience the delicious fare here, you are going to make this a regular visit. Expect to wait for a bit because a restaurant as great as this one is always packed. There are some really unusual menu choices that you are going to want to talk over with your server. There is a bar area where you can enjoy some drinks but if you are looking for recommendations, we suggest looking into the pa-need rabbit or the fried chicken. ALso, for dessert, if you have room that is, consider the alligator shrimp cheesecake. This place is worth the wait.

Located in a quaint historic area, this venue is known for its authentic Louisiana seafood and Creole-inspired dishes. But even more than that, you are not going to believe the affordable prices. If you get there at the right time, you will get a chance to have front row seating to enjoy all of the beautiful sights and sounds that New Orleans has to offer. There is something on the menu for everyone with items that range from po-boys to seared scallops to seasonal items. What really completes their offerings is the zinc bar, full-service oyster bar and the climate controlled patio area if you are looking for outdoor dining.
