Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen - Phoenix

Let 's face it; this is NOT New Orleans. Still, Baby Kay 's does pretty darn well. If you really have a yearning for some Cajun food (some of what 's on the menu is technically not Cajun, but again, who can afford to be that particular around here) you could do worse. Some of the highlights of the menu include a gumbo that is thick and a little spicy, tasty po boys, and an unexpected but very welcome spinach salad. The bread pudding is also worth unbuttoning your top button for--not the best in town, but good, and so is the pecan pie. One of the best things about this place is how comfortable and inviting the atmosphere gets when they have a certain blues guitarist there. Eating at Baby Kay 's and listening to live blues guitar--not too loud, drowning out your conversation, but forcing you to move your feet--could make you want to stay all night.
