Liuzza's by the Track Restaurant Review: This frills-free eatery is so close to the Fair Grounds Race Course that one can almost hear the pounding of hooves on the turf while tackling a plate of nicely composed red beans and rice. Thus, too, the name Liuzza's by the Track, which also differentiates the place from the unrelated Liuzza's Restaurant & Bar located less than a mile away. Familiar fare from the casual Creole canon is done better than the norm and includes a few distinctive house specialties. Most prominent is the po' boy stuffed with New Orleans barbecue-style shrimp luxuriating in a butter and pepper sauce. Oyster po' boys get the addition of enough garlic to blow a safe; bread pudding satiates even the strongest sweets craving; and the seafood gumbo, for which shrimp and oysters are cooked to order, should be a requirement for every diner. Although you can get a decent glass of wine at Liuzza’s, this is more of a beer and bourbon shooter type of place. Note that Liuzza's by the Track closes at 7 p.m. Mon.-Sat. |
