"For parade-goers staying Uptown, Cooter Brown’s is a sports bar with darn good eats. The limited Mardi Gras menu precludes the usual raw oysters, instead putting the emphasis on fried seafood, burgers, po’boys, and local comfort fare, including red beans and jambalaya. There’s a veggie burger and cheese fries for the meat-averse." - Beth D'Addono
