1. Cafe Maspero
601 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA
(oldbulees says - this place is good, but a lil overrated. good pastrami)
2. Cafe du Monde
800 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA
This French Quarter staple serves up steaming cafe au lait and crispy beignets (square doughnuts) 'round the clock.
(oldbulee says - what's not to like? )
3. Camellia Grill
626 S Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA
Inexpensive diner standards complement the local characters and color at this late-night New Orleans favorite.
(oldbulee says - inexpensive my ass. it's the most expensive diner I've ever been to, but the western omelet owns. good food but not cheap for diner food.)
4. Mother's Restaurant
401 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA
The perfect po' boy is worth the wait at this cafeteria-style deli.
(oldbulee says - local place turned tourist. still good though.)
5. Mo's Pizza
1112 Ave H, Westwego, LA
(never eaten)
6. Trolley Stop
1923 Saint Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA
(oldbulee says - poor man's Camellia Grill. Cheap but not very good. Okay especially if you're hammered. It's right next door to the Camellia Grill and it serves the same type food. So if you have 15 bucks left after going out, go to Camellia Grill. If all you have is a 5, hit the Trolley Stop.)
7. Port of Call
838 Esplanade Ave, New Orleans, LA
This rustic neighborhood institution has a whale of a burger.
(oldbulee says - never been but have heard good things from trusted people)
8. Juan's Flying Burrito

Unassuming dining spot sets higher standard for Creole comfort food

I dunno if Acme is cheap, per se, but GOTDAMN its good. Oyster shooters and Bloody Mary's for Breakfast? Yes, that'd be the monger way.
The ATL list is fairly gar considering they have 3 chain places on there, but damn if I didn't almost eat Fat Matt's last night. The main deciding factor against was that I was too lazy to leave the house.
Acme is awesome, and it's priced pretty decent for the kind of food.
