Okra's Louisiana Bistro wants to spread the New Orleans spirit to all of Manassas, which is precisely why it hosted the city's first Mardi Gras parade many years ago. Since it first opened in 1998, the eatery has also hosted crawfish boils and other NoLa-centric festivals. But in the midst of these fun events, one aspect of Okra's shines the brightest: its fare.
So make the short drive from The Courts at Historic Manassas to Okra's (it's less than a mile) if you're craving some classic Louisiana cuisine. The alligator bites are the most popular appetizer, so don't miss them. Kick off your meal with the tender chunks of alligator sirloin, battered and fried, then dished out with Okra's signature remoulade. Just make sure you save enough room for one of the hearty Southern entrees, such as the cast-iron blackened catfish or the crawfish Monica with rotini.
