New Orleans is a foodie mecca, and cajun-style seafood is what everyone talks about. Sometimes, you crave something a little bit different...like some fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs. When the craving hits, head to Walker's Southern Style BBQ.

This family-owned BBQ joint has been in New Orleans since 2004, and it's still serving up the best ribs and Cochon de Lait Poboys ever. You'll find Walker's Southern Style BBQ at 10828 Hayne Blvd.

The ribs here are so tender they fall right off the bone, and the sauce is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet.

The three rib plate is one of the most popular menu items. It comes with two sides and three juicy, tender ribs. Enough food to satisfy!

Choose from five delicious sides: baked beans, mustard greens, potato salad, coleslaw, and green beans.

This place is also famous for its Cochon de Lait Poboy sandwich. Made from smoked Boston butt, this thing is downright addictive.

If you want to mix it up a little, try the smoked half chicken.
