Gumbo + jambalaya + red beans = flavor explosion ​​3️⃣ Chicken Fried Steak​​ 🥩✨ Crispy exterior, juicy interior (kid-approved "giant chicken nugget"!) Comes with Southern-style greens ​​4️⃣ Kids Meal​​ 👶🍟 $12 for adult-sized cheesy bread + fries + drink Actual parent hack: Split between 2 kids! ​​ 💡 Why It Shines​​ ✅ ​​Authentic-ish​​: NOLA flavors without the flight ✈️ ✅ ​​Family-Friendly​​: High chairs + coloring sheets 🖍️ ✅ ​​Heatwave Savior​​: Iced sweet tea bigger than your face 🧊 ​​⚠️ Heads Up​​ Spice levels mild by NOLA standards (ask for hot sauce!) 🔥 Jazz nights get packed - book ahead! ​​Final Verdict​​ ​​4.3/5 stars​​ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Post-playdate salvation with a side of gumbo." We'll be back every summer Saturday! #NorCalNOLA #SJFoodFinds #ParentWin #ComfortFood #BayAreaEats
