    Gilhooley's is a great place for oysters and shrimp, fixed about anyway you find. The Oysters…read moreGilhooley are a nice local touch to an New Orleans dish, chargrilled oysters!! To. You can add a shrimp on top and turn it into a "Shrimphooley". Everything they serve is outstanding, but I focus on anything "oyster"! If you're a chicken liver or gizzard person, they have the absolute best I've ever eaten. When you arrive you might scratch your head and wonder, "should I really go into this place?", but don't hesitate. If you think it's a bit crude and unrefined now, you should have seen it 18-20 years ago. Back then they didn't have a table with 4 chairs that matched; you'd see people sitting at the bar early in the day having their beer and cigarette, looking like the missed their weekly Saturday bath. Sitting outside was the best spot when the weather was good and the outdoor bar was very convenient. Years ago there was neighborhood guy (I can't remember his name now) who would go around table to table with his home made salsa haveing you tasted it and then selling you a jar with some chips to accompany your fantastic meal.

The outdoor seating area is a great spot to unwind, and the roaming cats add their own brand of entertainment. Food ranges from great to "maybe next time." Hushpuppies are a skip. The spinach artichoke crab dip is solid, and the raw oysters taste good but are sometimes overly salty. The shrimp gumbo is some of the best I've had, though it occasionally suffers from the same heavy hand with salt. Still, I always get a bowl to go. For entrées, the fried catfish is the favorite, but it's not always consistent; sometimes it comes out overcooked, sometimes they get it right. The grilled platter is a dependable alternative. And whatever you do, trade the fries for onion rings -- they're the sure thing on the plate. Even with the occasional overcooked catfish and oversalted dishes, we keep coming back. The vibe, the gumbo, and the character of the place make it worth the trip.
