This Cajun/Zydeco restaurant and bar has an outdoor stage and deck overlooking Cross Bayou. Plus you'll find a 25-by-42-foot cypress dance floor, perfect for two-stepping to the live music that's often scheduled there. Dance lessons are also given at some events. And the food? Let's just say that if you love crawfish, you'll love this place. The cafe cooks all of its food from scratch -- including its whiskey bread pudding. Each year, the Cafe holds its own Mardi Gras celebration in February and a crawfish festival in April. If you can't get to New Orleans, this is a great substitute for some Cajun flavor.
