Best Seafood Hot Spot in Missouri

I’ll be honest, I'm not the biggest seafood fan. When you order crab, lobster, or oysters, you have to work for your food, and I HATE that. I want my meal ready to go the moment it hits the table. Maybe that’s why shrimp is my favorite (as long as it’s peeled, of course).

For over 45 years, this locally owned St. Louis restaurant has been serving up some of the best Cajun and Creole cuisine around. You might not expect award-winning New Orleans-style food in the heart of the Midwest, but that's exactly what you’ll find: authentic, flavor-packed dishes made right here in Missouri.

Even though I’m not a huge fan of all seafood and not the best at trying new foods, just visiting this place for the atmosphere would be worth it. It looks like a fun, lively spot to hang out and soak in the Bourbon Street vibes.
