Boudreaux's

501 E 36th St Charlotte NC 28205

Boudreaux's has been a NoDa institution since 1999, long before the neighborhood became Charlotte's arts district hotspot. The kitchen serves Cajun, Southern, and Low-Country cuisine built on family recipes — think shrimp and grits, fried chicken with jambalaya, gumbo, crawfish po'boys, and gator bites. Weekend brunch is a draw, complete with a bloody mary bar. The come-as-you-are atmosphere and generous portions have kept regulars coming back for over two decades, making Boudreaux's one of the longest-running restaurants in the neighborhood.
