Pampas Grill
No cafeteria anywhere can compete with this churrascaría – move down the line to select from an amazing assortment of side dishes (salads, corn, pastas, and much more) and finish at the main course station: slowly turning beef steak, sausages, chicken (the bacon wrapped chicken is unbelievably good). You pick exactly what you desire and the serving size you want. Among the newer Market choices, Pampas is also one of the most popular. (Critic Favorite)

The Gumbo Pot
Simply perfect Cajun cooking has made this spot an all-time favorite for locals and visitors alike. The beignets are phenomenal (try them drizzled with chocolate!), the gumbo is fantastic, the po’boys are perfect. Be warned: when they tell you that the blackened dishes (fish, chicken, shrimp, even a meat loaf po’boy) are hot, they speak the truth. (Critic Favorite)

Magic Nut and Candy Company
A world-wide selection of nuts occupies the counters here. So do exotic treats of all kinds: candied fruits in so many varieties that it’s difficult to keep track, wonderful candies and flavored popcorns. They’ll box it for you, ship it for you or just hand it over so you can start enjoying it all right away.
