"With the spotlight on Cajun and Southern comfort eats at this storied mom-and-pop cafe, fried chicken is a given. Pair the crispy, seasoned pieces with fluffy waffles, or the seemingly endless sides like mac and cheese, collard greens, yams, black-eyed peas, cabbage, and dirty rice. If this is your first trip, order the oxtails — you’ll be coming back for seconds." - Brittany Britto Garley
