10Best Says

Compact and crowded, Coop's probably isn't on most travelers' agendas which is a crying shame. Located right on Decatur not far from the French Market, Coop's remains a locals' haunt, with its well-worn surfaces and gritty elan. Unpolished, seductive, and even a touch dingy, Coop's is the real deal. Staples like shrimp Creole, Cajun-fried chicken, fried oysters and rabbit and sausage jambalaya are good bets for lunch or order the tasting plate, which features the items above along with ample portions of seafood gumbo and red beans and rice with sausage. Serves til 11 pm for the later night hangries.

Best Value, Cajun, Late Night: "If loud bothers you, move along. But this lively French Quarter spot is the real deal as long as you can jump into the fray."

Recommended as Best Value Because: A tasty array of bargain Cajun and New Orleans specialties delivered with no-nonsense aplomb makes this place a keepr.
Best for Cajun Because: There's always a line out the door at Coop's - and there's a reason for that: the place is simply good.
Best for Late Night Because: Coop's posts its hours this way: 11 a.m. to close." Enough said.
