Traditional boiled seafood year round! Not the prettiest of places, but you don't eat there- you go in, pick up a couple pounds of boiled crawfish (or shrimp) and chow down at home or in a park.

Great people, good selection of local beers, excellent bartenders and free food for bar patrons on Friday nights (depending on the season could be a crawfish or shrimp boil, jambalaya, tacos, pig roast...).
