"The Rivershack is a throw-back, like entering a portal to another era. It sits right on the levee in Jefferson Parish outside the city, so you can kind of pretend you’re in Cajun Country instead of the New Orleans suburbs. The live music lineup leans that way as well, but the real draw is the Cajun-flavored food: it serves alligator sausage, fried shrimp, oysters, and catfish; and hot sausage po’ boys, not to mention burgers, sandwiches, and homey specials." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
