"We weren’t born on the bayou, but if being Cajun means you get to drink bourbon all day and eat delicious food, we’re thinking of relocating. Those inventive Cajun cocktails, from an oyster martini to Swamp Water lemonade, make us pretend we’re nestled in a cozy lounge somewhere in the French Quarter. The Voodoo Gulf Shrimp taste like black magic, the sauteed alligator sausage (no kidding) is way juicy and hot, and we can eat popcorn crawdads all day. And those are just the appetizers. The worthy main course dishes, from N’Awlins po’boys to crawfish etouffee, warm us up on a cold winter night. Authentic Gulf Coast dining, and we swear we hear Jimi Hendrix on the jukebox every time we stop by. As the sign says, "Laissez les bon temps rouler!" -- Best of Detroit 2010
