My family and I left Baton Rouge 13 years ago and moved to Ohio. One of the many things we miss is the fantastic Cajun and creole food. Our son is attending NMU in Marquette and we were in town for a campus visit. While looking for interesting places to see and new places to eat we were shocked to see this eatery listed. My wife and I decided to give it a shot one night and to be honest we went in with very low expectations. Lagniappe absolutely blew us away. Starting with the speak easy feel descending the steps to the place and the wild voodoo zydeco atmosphere we encountered we began to really get our hopes up. The Hurricanes might as well have been from Bourbon street and they come in 3 different octanes. The Lagniappe salad had a bacon dressing worth at least slapping your aunt for if not your mama. Gumbo Ya Ya as good as any LSU tailgate. I was SLIGHTLY disappointed there was no fried oyster poboy but the fried shrimp version had my mouth watering. The French bread for the poboy was indescribable. I've had what was called French bread since leaving Louisiana but this is the real deal with just the perfect amount of crispy outside and fluffy heaven inside. BBQ shrimp was melt in your mouth and had REAL shrimp like you just bought them off the docks. No wimpy cocktail baby shrimp here. The only thing missing was a slice of the French bread to mop up the plate with. After all that, my wife and I were in physical pain from stuffing ourselves but couldn't help trying dessert. The bread pudding will knock your flip flops right off your feet. Nothing can be that good without a sprinkle of voodoo. To finish it all off, I had to get a serving of beignets. As someone who spent far too much time at Cafe Du Monde, I can say these aren't QUITE that level but they came far closer than anything I've had outside Louisiana. That said, I had absolutely no problem finishing three of the gigantic puffs with my eyes rolled up to the top of my head in ecstasy. We are looking forward to coming back in the future to try even more items from the menu. Hopefully that fried oyster poboy and maybe even a frozen Community Coffee will make it to the menu. If you're a Yankee and happen to give this place a shot, do yourself a favor and stay off the part of the menu you're more used to and try one or three or five of the true southern fare items. It'll keep you coming back and maybe even fuel a fire to visit southern Louisiana!
