Jacques-Imo's Cafe

Fodor's Review:

Oak Street might look like any other sleepy urban thoroughfare by day, but once the sun sets the half-block stretch containing Jacques-Imo's Cafe feels like the center of the universe. Prepare for lengthy, but festive waits in the crowded bar for a table in the boisterous, swamp-theme dining rooms (fortunately, the bartenders are skilled). The modest-looking but innovative food is worth it: deep-fried roast beef po'boys, alligator sausage cheesecake, Cajun bouillabaisse, and smothered rabbit over grits are among the excellent only-at-Jacques-Imo's specialties. All main courses come with salad and corn muffins. Reservations are accepted for parties of five or more.
