\"Middendorfs<\/a>I love this place. \u00a0Been in regular attendance for the past two decades. \u00a0They’ve had their share of troubles, flooded twice cause of storms, but they keep coming back, stronger and better than ever.<\/p>\n

Caveat one: \u00a0this is a New Orleans AREA restaurant, not in the city, it’s about a 30 minute drive north on I-55. It sits perched on the edge of Lake Maurepas, which in turn empties into Lake Ponchartrain. There’s a nice outdoor deck when the weather is nice, which it usually is.<\/p>\n

Middendorfs, like a lot of area restaurants, serves tons of local seafood, prepared in all manners and styles, but deep fried is the New Orleans way; you can get giant combo platters of shrimp, oysters, fish, and crab. But most people go for a dish unique to the restaurant, deep fried catfish filets, but they’re cut lengthwise into paper thin slivers. Unique. Crispy. Tasty. \u00a0Dinners come with fries, slaw and hush puppies. \u00a0Never had any use for the latter, personally.<\/p>\n

You can get a piece of beef or chicken if you insist, and there is an adequate ankle biter menu. You can get raw or BBQ oysters or delicious gumbos as a side or starter.<\/p>\n

I only get here once every few years, and I hope they keep on and on. \u00a0It’s my place for ‘cat’ in the New Orleans area. (Oh and they also serve them whole, bone-in, if you like it that way). \u00a0I like to bring out of town company here. If I haven’t taken you, it’s because I hate you.<\/p>\n
