Weekday lunch spot the Court House Deli got its Cajun chili mentioned<\/a> in the Commercial Appeal in Jennifer Biggs’ “Best Finds” column.\u00a0 Glad to see the place getting some recognition – it’s an inexpensive little lunch spot that is one of Downtown’s gems.<\/p>\n

When you order their chili, you’ll be asked if you want it “with everything” – that includes shredded cheese, onions, and jalapenos.\u00a0 You can pick and choose from those toppings or get it plain.\u00a0 Their other Cajun offerings are fantastic too – I’m most fond of their crawfish etoufee, and their jambalaya is tasty and spicy.\u00a0 They also have gumbo and red beans and rice.<\/p>\n

They have good sandwiches too, and also burgers and salads.\u00a0 I’m quite fond of their mushroom swiss burger.\u00a0 They pre-cook the patties in advance, so during the lunch rush you don’t have to wait a long time for your burger to come off the grill.\u00a0 You can have a hot, juicy burger ready within about 2 minutes of the time you get to the register.\u00a0 Their shrimp salad croissant is another one I order from time to time.\u00a0 Nothing costs a lot of money there – you have to really be hungry to run a tab north of $6 at Court House.<\/p>\n

It’s open only on weekdays, during lunch hours (sorry, I know that doesn’t do you much good on a Saturday).\u00a0 It’s on Main between Madison and Monroe.<\/p>\n

By the way, apologies to Ms. Biggs for saying that she got Orleans on Front’s bar hours wrong in her column – she got those from the restaurant’s website, which lists the same hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
