Lonely Planet review

Bon Ton is a good-time, old-style Cajun restaurant, open for half a century. The dining room looks like a pizza parlor, but folks show up dressed to the nines. This is Cajun food from before Paul Prudhomme came along. Spices are used in tasteful moderation in gumbo, jambalaya and shrimp étouffée. Crawfish show up in so many dishes, it's a wonder they haven't joined Louisiana redfish on the endangered species list. Don't pass on the rum-soaked bread pudding. And - what the hey? - Bon Ton is closed on weekends.
