Clap your greasy hands that we have the finger-licking-good Sally's in town. For years, this colorful storefront has served dreamy barbecued ribs, catfish fingers, Cajun popcorn and jambalaya for us bayou-starved souls. Try as it might to be a dive, Sally's is actually more like a good-natured, transplanted Louisiana roadhouse. Start with a cup of smoky gumbo loaded with chicken, crawfish and andouille sausage. We also like the pan-fried crab cakes with sweet corn sauce, the deep-fried catfish fingers with tartar sauce and the fried oysters. But save room for the entrées because they're big and go down easy, from blackened catfish to po' boys stuffed with fried oysters, andouille sausage or burnt ends. Speaking of barbecue, Sally's gives you three different sauces to anoint your smoky meat. With live music on most weekends and a Mardi Gras bar scene, Sally's lets the good times roll.
