Held's Kitchen, Harahan

Held's Kitchen is exactly what you'd want a New Orleans restaurant to be. The cooks here specialize in Cajun and Creole dishes, such as shrimp or catfish po' boys, crawfish boils, seafood gumbo, and specials like red beans and rice with smoked sausage. But even if you're not looking for some Lousiana-style spice, Held's cooks have you covered—they're just as adept at whipping up American comfort food classics such as cheeseburgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and even baked macaroni.
