Quote:The OP was asking for advice.  Everyone recommends that place but as someone with family on both sides of the river, I'll just say that most locals would tell you there are better places in the city for beignets. Unless you want to go stand in line to overpay just to say you've been there,  To each their own.

 

Someone mentioned po boys.  There are some great places in the quarter but to the OP, if you happen to find yourself in the Kenner/Metairie area there is a little local hole in the wall on Jefferson Highway called Mr. Po Boy that had one of the best po boys I've ever had.  I haven't been there in a few years though so YMMV.
