No meal is complete without the perfect beverage to wash it down, and Big B's Cajun Kitchen doesn't disappoint. From cold, crisp beers to fruity, tangy cocktails, the bar menu is as extensive as the food menu. But for the true Cajun experience, you've got to try one of their signature Hurricanes.

And wouldn't a meal be incomplete without something sweet to finish it off? Big B's offers a delightful range of desserts, from the classic Bread Pudding to the decadent Chocolate Lava Cake. Our recommendation? The Bananas Foster. This caramelized banana delight served over vanilla ice cream is a fitting end to a meal that's been nothing short of extraordinary.
