The Best Big Group Dinner Restaurants In New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Central City BBQ is a sweet spot for indoor and outdoor dining with a group. Stay inside to enjoy the energy, or step out for a more laid-back night. The joint has counter service, which makes it easy for your group to put in their requests—or add to them later—as folks come and go for a casual night out. The barbecue is top-notch, but the sides, like the mac and cheese or the brussels sprouts deserve just as much real estate on your plate. They’ve got salads on the menu, too, but still: Don’t pick this spot if you’ve got vegetarians in the group. Instead, lean into what Central City BBQ does best by ordering plates of smoky ribs, brisket, and pulled pork." - chelsea brasted
