The best meals are often hidden away in unassuming exteriors, but as we all know, you should never judge a book by its cover. That certainly is the case then when you stroll up to Marilynn’s Place, a converted gas station that’s serving up some amazingly good home-cooked meals. Let’s check it out.

Once a gas station, this converted restaurant is quite the hotspot for locals on the hunt for a taste of New Orleans in the northern part of the state.
Namelikenobodyelse/Trip Advisor The open-air restaurant is just perfect this time of year.
When it comes to hearty, home-cooked meals, no one is doing it better than Marilynn’s Place.
Nathan Lacey/Google How about a big plate of crawfish étouffée, gumbo, or red beans and rice?
More than just Louisiana fare, you’ll always find something special on the menu.
Marilynn’s Place/Facebook In addition to overstuffed po’boys and salads, they often feature daily specials that are mouthwateringly good.

As tempting as it may be, try not to fill up on those tasty entrees.

For dessert, you have plenty of options, but you certainly can’t go wrong with the beignets.
Jennifer Hurley/Google Nothing screams “New Orleans” like biting into a hot beignet doused with powdered sugar. An order of these plus an order of their banana’s foster and you’ll practically be doing a second line out of the restaurant.
Marilynn’s Place is open seven days a week.
