New Orleans cuisine is some of the most flavorful and distinct in the entire country, and you’ll find a little taste of the Big Easy at Schilleci’s New Orleans Kitchen. This local favorite is located right on Market Street in The Woodlands, and it makes a delicious option for either a laid-back lunch or a celebratory evening out.

The menu is filled with Creole and Cajun specialties like crawfish dip, sausage gumbo and duck with jambalaya. Etouffée and shrimp po’ boys make delicious lunch options, and the bread pudding and powder sugar-topped beignets are perfectly sweet endings to any meal. Pair your meal with a New Orleans Hurricane cocktail, a cold glass beer or a premium wine, or take your food and drinks outside to the lush, green patio for a true New Orleans feel.
