Cajun cuisine is best known for its po’boy sandwiches and sweet beignets, although authentic Cajun fare is difficult to find outside of New Orleans. Luckily, you’ll find expertly prepared Cajun cuisine right in downtown Manassas at Okra’s restaurant.
This lively eatery near The Courts at Historic Manassas aims to bring a bit of New Orleans flavor to Manassas not only through its traditional menu, but also through its events like the annual Mardi Gras parade and its frequent crawfish boils. Inside, the restaurant features New Orleans artwork on the walls and ample seating at both the dining tables and around the fully stocked bar. The menu changes frequently to accommodate whatever is in season, but it always includes Cajun favorites like dirty rice, shrimp and grits and Okra’s Famous Gumbo.
Stop by for the live music and a cold Louisiana beer and you may just feel like you were transported down to the Big Easy.
