A
Coop's
For a cheap but thoroughly satisfying meal in the Quarter, this Cajun country shack disguised as a divey bar is as good as it gets: try the rabbit and sausage jambalaya or the red beans and rice for a taste of Cajun heaven. You can get out of here stuffed to a Creole stupor for under $15.

Crabby Jack’s
Jack’s, about two miles west of Riverbend, is owned by the folks who own Jaques-Imo’s and generates the atmosphere of the latter before it became one of the most popular restaurants in town. It’s humble but eccentric Creole and Cajun fair, with dark, strongly spiced gumbo, mouthwatering duck po’boys and kooky art all over the walls. The staff sass you playfully while they dance to Bubba Sparxxx, and all in all this is an excellent local’s joint. Located just outside of town on the way to Jefferson. To drive here (and you will need wheels, as it’s off the highway) head west along S Claiborne Ave until the road becomes a highway, and Jack’s is on your left.

Elizabeth's
Elizabeth's is deceptively divey, way too dark and probably too laid-back. The food is overly simplistic at times, startlingly out-of-the-box at others. But it tastes as good as the best haute New Orleans chefs can offer. Be sure to order some praline bacon, no matter the time of day: fried up in brown sugar and, as far as we can tell, God's own cooking oil.
