11) Morvant’s, Youngsville

Featured Yelp review by Tito: "The crowd acted as though everyone was part of one big family, and we felt like the Texas contingent. Crawfish were outstanding, although I'd have preferred more than one short corn cob in a 5# tray. The band was simply outstanding, playing everything from doo-wop to Cajun to Zydeco to C&W, and the dance floor was never not packed."

12) D.I.’s Cajun Restaurant, Basile

Featured Facebook review by Cari Lejeune: "This was our first time here, my husband took me out for my birthday. The reviews our friends gave didn't do it justice. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the oysters on the half shell were the best I've had in LA."

13) Val’s Marina, Maurepas

Featured Facebook review by Jason Hebert: "Val's Marina is the best place for good food and exceptional friendly southern service!!!"
