Big Easy Bar and Grill

"Big Easy Bar and Grill is another po’boy that falls into our “holy smokes this thing is big how can I possibly ever finish this?” category of sandwich. And we’re not talking some loosely filled, giant loaf of bread. We thought this thing was going to register as a passenger when we set it in the seat after picking it up at the takeout window. We like that they let you mix things up here—we went with half shrimp, half crawfish—but they have most of the seafood offerings you’d expect to find at any great Cajun spot, and the po’boys come dressed with the standard lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. They’re currently located on the patio of King Bee, near 12th and Chicon. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"The Cajun truck at the Barton Springs food truck park touts excellent po’ boys with shrimp, fish, crawfish, and oysters. There are outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

"For Cajun: Central East Austin restaurant Big Easy Bar & Grill serves up really great Cajun fare that works well for takeout. I ordered the fried crawfish platter, which came with irresistible little meaty mudbug nuggets and fries, along with sides of the soothing gumbo that still works despite the hot weather, and perfectly dense hush puppies. Everything tasted great, and I even had enough for leftovers the next day. The po’ boy was great too. The physical restaurant remains closed due to an electrical fire in April, but the food truck, serving only to-go food, is parked behind the building, accessible through an alleyway. Chef and owner Darold Gordon is also raising money to help fund the rebuilding of the restaurant too. Pickup orders can be placed in person or over the phone." - Erin Russell

"Big Easy is a restaurant in the Brickell City Centre that claims to be South African, but really doesn’t feel like anything specific at all. Sure, they have some dishes like peri-peri chicken liver and boerie sausage bites. But those African-inspired dishes aren’t very impressive, and are surrounded by a random menu that bounces from burgers to crab cakes to fried green tomatoes - and isn’t worth your time or money." - Ryan Pfeffer
