Living in New Orleans, you constantly get company. Jacques-Imo's is my first must-do for everyone. I've taken my parents, my grandmother, my friends, my friends' friends, and whoever else drops in. I've even (confidently) taken visiting chefs. That's a lot of varied tastes, but NOONE has ever been anything but highly pleased. There's always a (fairly lenghty) wait, but the bar/waiting area is always a blast, and you won't be disappointed. It's worth the wait. Good service, excellent food. I can't seem to get enough. I like everything I've had (and everything my company has had, too). Remember, if the locals like to hang here, that's a good sign.
Pros: Maple Leaf next door, friendly owner, fun bar
Cons: always a wait, it's easy to overeat, not good for kids
