Richard's Seafood Patio
Cross the Vermilion River on a vintage drawbridge and continue down a winding country road to find this classic Cajun "seafood patio," a no-frills dining room serving immense quantities of boiled crawfish, shrimp, and crabs. There's a full menu of fried, grilled, and smothered items, plus a buffet in case you're having a hard time choosing. And, of course, there's plenty of cold beer to wash the seafood down. Richard's opens at 5 pm and fills up almost immediately, so expect a wait.
