New Orleans Bar & Grill, Greensboro

Embodying the spirit of the Big Easy, New Orleans Bar & Grill hits the mark with a menu of seafood-heavy Cajun cuisine served in a lush, festive environment inspired by Mardi Gras. From the exterior, the stucco-and-arches structure looks more like a stately hotel or mansion. Inside, exposed brick arches, flourished of soft purple lighting, an elegant black staircase hint at additional decorative splendor. But it's the menu that steals the show, like a desperate high schooler asking a play audience for homework help. The menu's contents include fried alligator, peel-n-eat shrimp, and whole crawfish.
