About Louisiana Charlies

Louisiana Charlies sits at the edge of the water in Shoreline Village, serving Cajun and Creole cooking with a beachfront ease that makes a bowl of gumbo feel like exactly the right meal for the setting. The gumbo nachos — chips loaded with dark-roux gumbo, cheese, and jalapeños — have developed a following on social media that accurately represents how good they are. The crawfish etouffée is properly buttery and spiced. Live music on weekends turns dinner into something closer to a party.
