Gumbeaux's Cajun Cafe

Anyone who's been to Cajun country restaurants in Southwest Louisiana will recognize the menu here, which is as much about fried seafood as it is gumbos and etouffees. Platters, with everything from grouper, shrimp and oysters to catfish, crawfish and gator, are served in massive, golden mounds on a bed of seasoned fries with hush puppies on the side. And spicy favorites, such as shrimp Creole, jambalaya, and red beans and rice, as well as oysters on the half shell, signature crawfish dip and two bars keep the good times rolling.
