Sal & Judy's

The Best Road Trip-Worthy Restaurants Outside New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Yes, Mosca’s tends to get all the glory when it comes to old-school Creole Italian outside of New Orleans. But Sal & Judy’s has its own hyper-loyal following, thanks to half a century of hard work and charm by Sicily-born founder Sal Impastato. Located in the remote Lacombe area, north of the lake, about an hour outside the city, this festive spot is beloved for its sauces and family-friendly vibe. Then there are the baked oysters, crab claws, stuffed artichokes, and spaghetti and oysters, all shareable and well-priced for the portions. Sal & Judy’s is closed on Monday and Tuesday." - Sarah Bisacca
