Pat's Fisherman's Wharf Restaurant

$$$ Fodor's Choice

Overlooking Bayou Amy, Pat's is the real deal, with heaping platters of seafood. On a cool night, get a table on the porch overlooking the bayou and go for the shrimp dinner, which presents the local favorite no fewer than eight different ways. Pat's Atchafalaya Club, which is the area hot spot for Cajun dancing on weekend nights, is next door. Accommodations are also available at Pat's Edgewater Inn, located on the same stretch.
