5. Crawdaddy's Cajun Restaurant

Crawdaddy's sets the mood for New Orleans’s food! The food is above par in all aspects, as is the decor. The service tends to be a bit slow, even when the restaurant is not full, but do not let that deter you from going. The food is excellent. I especially recommend the Red Beans and Rice (with the Andouille ), and the Jambalaya. The lunches are a bit pricey, but the servings are nicely sized.
