"Rooted in a three-generation family culinary tradition, this welcoming neighborhood spot uses a roughly 60-year-old Baquet family gumbo recipe featuring ham, smoked sausage, crab, shrimp and the restaurant’s own hot sausage and gumbo base (produced commercially to maintain consistency). The dining room embodies New Orleans hospitality, and the family’s long history in the local restaurant scene shows in the faithful preservation of recipes and flavors. Recommended orders are the gumbo, housemade hot sausage and fried chicken, along with the daily specials." - ByMegan Braden-Perry
