Among the culinary offerings at this former Eisenhower era gambling casino are fried catfish dinners every Friday night on the outdoor deck. The fare for these dinners is a mere $3 and includes music from a live band. On Wednesday evenings, it’s Bike Night with music by Pig Pen (no relation to the late Grateful Dead organist) and the Pork Chops. Southport is located just off River Road, near the Orleans Parish line.
