Top 10 Restaurants in the Third Ward

That's the "Flower Man" my friend Mr. Cleveland Turner, a 3rd Ward Icon.  Why did the Vegan Cafe miss this list?  It is surely one of 3rd Ward's bestesest!!!

rays bbq shack on ost is the best bbq in 3rd ward/south park. their potato salad is out of this world. glad thelma's closed.  glad bobbyques closed.  bbq sauce tasted like syrup and the meat tasted like water.  sometimes i see a bobbyques truck on almeda sitting outside of the club. doshi's red beans dish is tasty because it is kind of peppery. food at breakfast club is good.  there is always a line wrapped around the building.  food at reggae hut is not tasty.  food at green seed is good some days, some days not.  kind of inconsistent. but, it always expensive. i hear people say they go to spanish village for the margaritas, not for the food. cream burger is good, so is frenchy's but of course can't really enjoy the food because of worries about too much fat. also, i have heard about a place called lucille's around here which is supposed to be good. i got the navy beans at conscious cafe.  the dish tasted funny, kind of bitter like all the vegetables they cook in the dish had been frozen and rewarmed several times.  did not like.  have not been back.  

Green Seed!

"forced" integration?  I don't think there was anything forced about it.

Spanish village wayy overpriced. 

HEY HOW COME THE VEGAN PLACE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THE 'LIKE US ON FACEBOOK' SIGN IN THE BG?  WHY U NO LIKE LEGACY 3RD WARD CAFES ON FACEBOOK?

These are all great, but I can't believe you didn't include Thelma's BBQ, which moved from EaDo to the Third Ward (corner of Scott & Southmore; technically Riverside Terrace, but since Third Ward and Riverside Terrace are right next to each other and predominantly African American, many consider the entire area "Third Ward")! New digs (and more elbow room), same old wonderfully gruff attitude, and still some of the best BBQ you've ever had. Also worth a mention -  Reggae Hut on Almeda, just a couple blocks north of Alfreda's! Superb Caribbean cuisine and atmosphere! Plus, just a nit-picky little correction - Chief's Cajun Snack Shack is not on Southmore at Live Oak; it's on Live Oak, just south of Southmore.

I wish Frenchy's wasn't so proud of their chicken. My wallet says no, but my tummy says yes.

that burger has to be from chiefs!!!!! i just know it.

had no idea there were so many "alternative" eating spots around here. Frenchy's ftw!

Only two for green seed and doshi house

my brain totally interpreted this as "top 10 restaurants in the third world".

You guys forgot to add this cool urban grocery/wine bar in the Third Ward called Nature's Market. I'm surprised that it was not on the Top 10. It too is also apart of the Third Ward community. 

I passed by Bobbie Que's today and it's boarded up. Looks like it's been gone for a while.

Come for the food, stay for the heart attack.

Gotta try these.

Think I'll just work my way down the list... with a couple stops at Frenchy's in between for sweet potato pie!

All those places are delicious.

Two thumbs up for Cream Burger

oh okay.. I was about to write this off until I saw Frenchy's was number one. You got that right!!!

Wow, not one mention of Blues legends that sprung from the Third Ward?

Thanks for this. We were driving around over there a couple of weeks ago and I just KNEW there must be great stuff.

Spanish Village all the way!!

Yay, I've been waiting for this one.
