Highway 61 Roadhouse & Ktchn Description:
An odd building that once housed a record store now is home to this nostalgia-laced spot. The décor hearkens back to the Mississippi Delta, complete with murals highlighting notable musicians on the road south from St. Louis. Food expectations are low because it looks so contrived, but there are many surprises in store. Overall, the menu is quite good given it wanders Highway 61 (hence the name) from St. Louis to New Orleans. Barbecue, pizza, Cajun pasta and Delta tamales all show up. Barbecued ribs are moist and smoky without tasting stewed. Side dishes---like green beans and ham and charming "cream corn soufflé"---satisfy, while desserts like fried apple pie and banana bread pudding with bourbon sauce mix the new and the traditional. The local musicians enhance the atmosphere.
