"A tradition of Cajun goodness since 1996, Jaqques-Imo’s is a New Orleans staple that is, yes, geared towards tourists, but beloved by many locals. Known for dishes like shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake and a rich duck and and andoullie gumbo, all the Creole hits are on this menu, of course including blackened redfish, crawfish etouffee, and fried chicken. Reservations are taken a month out and only for parties of five or more." - Beth D'Addono
