shari bayer: Love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Red Velvet Waffle, BBQ Shrimp Gumbo and SoCo Baby Back Ribs. Amazing cocktails too.
Nikki: My fave watering hole. The 509 salad (caesar) and the gumbo and the wings and the mac n cheese and the cornbread and Brian the bartender. All wonderful.
Jesse Bagels: Nouveau southern soul / cajun food that goes a bit too far in the creativity department, making the food less feel-good than it should be. The gumbo was classic and good however

maureen haley: Menu changes pretty regularly, everything is good. Try the red beans and rice, gumbo, or po boys
cav: Gumbo, boudin balls
Uber NYC: NOLA-style eats with a contemporary twist. The menu changes each week, which keeps us coming back for more. We don't like to play favorites, but this could be the best brunch in Brooklyn.

Melissa M: Had the akra, vegetarian legume, shrimp gumbo, and sweet bread pudding - liked them all!
Beeju Augustin: I had the vegetarian legume... I enjoyed it. Loved the passion fruit.
Serious Eats: Goat Tassot: served with rice and beans, fried plantains (like tostones), and pikil, a fruity hot sauce that tastes like Yucatan habanero salsa diluted with vinegar.
