Yats
Cajun. Creole. Crazy. Yats' motto just about sums up the appeal. Yats offers southern comfort food, such as beans and rice, in huge portions and with plenty of spice. Each dish comes with two slices of crispy buttered bread to soak up the decadent sauces. In line with its quirky reputation, Yats is cash-only and frequently accepts hand-written I.O.U.s from customers low on money.

Jazz Kitchen
If music with your meal sounds appealing, than there is no better option than Jazz Kitchen. Food is solid, but a little pricey. The paella is especially good. Ultimately, you are paying for the live music. With different bands every single night, you can expect to experience anything from jazz to latin performances.
