R&O's makes a great New Orleans gumbo

The gumbo is densely packed with shrimp, plus the occasional crawfish. It's also one of the rare gumbos I've had recently that has okra, which I love. And because it's R&O's, I worked my way through the table's basket of crackers, dunking each one into the thick broth.

Of note: When we have a big group of family from out of town and we want to share a fun, casual meal with them, R&O's is at the top of our list of options. With pizza, poboys and Italian favorites like veal parmesan, this place is always a crowd-pleaser.
