Think you have to travel to Louisiana to enjoy some great crawfish? You can get that right here in the Peach State! Gumbeaux’s is hidden away in the unassuming city of Douglasville, about 475 miles away from New Orleans, but it’s one of our favorite Cajun restaurants in Georgia. The NOLA-style eatery has been an institution in the city for more than three decades thanks to its delicious, made-from-scratch food that has all the authentic flavors of southern Louisiana. Check it out:

Gumbeaux’s was established in 1994 and has been a staple of the Douglasville dining scene ever since. It’s still owned and operated by the original family.

Of all the dishes here, the crawfish is among the most popular. These crustaceans are the perfect middle ground between shrimp and lobster.
