Today we went to a matinee concert at a local bar, Stocks n Bonds to see the Danielle Nicole Band and had a late dinner at the Acadian Grille. Thanks to Mike and Cindy Baumer for finding these gems for us to attend and letting us come with. So much fun! The concert was from 4 to 7 and most of the folks packed into the place were our age or older. The music rocked and the band has quite a following. We were fortunate to snag a stage side table after the owner herself offered us the spot. Then, it was time to eat.
The Acadian Grille serves a variety of Cajun treats and with this still being a fasting period for us we had a great choice of seafood on the menu. We all ordered something different and we were all very happy with our meals and the price.
Brenda had the Crawfish etoufee and since the hour was late I opted for the Acadian Salad of mixed greens, crunchy fried onions and blackened shrimps. I tried a bit of Brenda’s dish which was spectacular, the essence of New Orleans. Mike had fried catfish and a side of Gouda Mac n cheese. Cindy had shrimp and grits which looked delicious but had some meat in it so we did not sample that.
This unassuming little strip mall eatery was just perfect for a nice dinner and the menu boasted some really great dishes I can’t wait to try again soon.
