You've got to try their seafood nachos! Some of the other Cajun specialties include crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, and meat pies. The cheeseburger is what I order every time I'm there. And, don't forget the fries.

I have always said they have the best chili dog in Louisiana. My dad used to take me here when I was 5 yrs old and I've been coming back ever since. Eat in or get it to go and walk down the street to Alley Park.

Owned by longtime friends, Clawdaddy's has wonderful seafood and Cajun fare. Everything on the menu is great. Ice cold or chargrilled oysters, poboys, fried shrimp, wings and really creative cocktails. I get the fish tacos and fries every time. It's about a 25-minute drive from the Barnett House, but well worth it.
