Poor House Bistro

Gumbo

A dark, properly roux'd gumbo with andouille sausage and a depth of flavor that takes hours to build — served over rice and thick enough to coat a spoon

Jambalaya

Rice-based one-pot with chicken, andouille, and Cajun spices — smoky, filling, and properly spiced without burning you out

Red Beans and Rice

Slow-cooked kidney beans with andouille sausage and the kind of seasoning that only comes from patience — a Monday classic done right

Po'boy

Generous sandwich on a soft roll with your choice of filling — the fried shrimp or catfish versions are the move

Fried Catfish

Cornmeal-crusted and fried to order, with a crust that stays crispy and fish that doesn't taste like the freezer

Étouffée

Shellfish smothered in a buttery, paprika-forward sauce over rice — rich and satisfying, the kind of dish that makes you slow down
