Plaquemine Lock

Plaquemine Lock excels in offering a genuine Cajun dining experience, with its menu prominently featuring staples such as vibrant gumbo, robust jambalaya, and bold shrimp and grits. A highlight is their uniquely flavored cornbread and delicious crawfish boil. The restaurant captures the essence of New Orleans, enriched by spirited live jazz evenings that add an authentic touch. Attentive staff enhance the welcoming atmosphere, despite occasional busy moments that could affect wait times. The bar's adeptness with cocktails, especially during a tempting happy hour, satisfies the desire for a crisp bourbon drink or a classic Bloody Mary. Distinct from typical local offerings, this establishment invites guests to indulge in delightful dishes within a lively ambiance by the canal.
