Shoal Creek Saloon

Cajun restaurant · West End

"The outside of Shoal Creek Saloon has a giant football helmet with a Saints logo on it, which should be your first indication of what you’re about to step into. But if you’re sports illiterate, then maybe the Abita on draft, the smell of fried seafood, or the giant “Southern Louisiana Cooking” on the outside wall will give it away. The crawfish here is boiled in a pretty classic mix of Cajun spices, with flavors that penetrate all the way through the meat—there’s no need to toss it all in any post-boil seasonings. Head here when crawfish is in season—the patio’s positioning on Shoal Creek makes it one of the best places you can be when the weather is nice.  " - nicolai mccrary
