My fav place to eat near Lake Chuck!!!

I second 121 Bistro in Lake Charles. Lamb lollipops are great. Pretty much everything I've had there has been great.

Went to Umami Sushi with a customer for lunch one day and was blown away with the quality. Lake Charles as well.

In NOLA, if you are there for more than just a dinner, do yourself a favor and go to Domilese's and get some poboys. I grew up going here with my parents who were both New Orleans native's. I personally think they are the best poboys in the city.

Another place we would frequent but isn't too fancy is Mandina's. While there you have to at least try the turtle soup. R&O's out by the lake is also another local joint that isn't too fancy but has great food. Ye Olde College Inn would be another good choice for a more local joint but a little more "upscale" then the others I've mentioned.

Of course you have Commander's, Galatoire's, Acme, Peche, Meril's, Felix's, etc. that other's associate with NOLA, I'm just giving you some of the options that I try to hit that not many visitors would know about.

I eat at Eunice all the time. It's in Houston. Is there another location in New Orleans or Lake Charles?

No I grab that one off the Besh group site in error. Just in Houston.

Ate at K-Paul's during my last visit and it was excellent!

RIP K-Paul’s …. closed nearly 4 years ago during COVID

IMO, GW Fins is the best restaurant in NOLA hands down. You need to make reservations now since they are booked 2-3 weeks out.

Parkway Tavern has the best shrimp and roast beef debris poboys.

Angelo Brocatos for authentic Italian deserts.... Canollis, spumoni, Italian ice, gelato, etc …
