In Louisiana, they say "Laissez les bons temps rouler" which is Cajun for "Let the good times roll" and it usually involves food and drink and probably music.
In Phoenix we say Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen because it means good food, good drink and good times. Located in the Town & Country Shopping Center, on the edge of the Biltmore area of Phoenix, Baby Kay's is authentic Cajun Cuisine.
And by authentic I mean recipes that can be traced back to their Cajun /Creole roots. I havn't had everything on the menu but what I've had has been wonderful. If you close your eyes when you're eating the Crawfish Etouffee with dirty rice, (pictured), you'd think you were in a small family restaurant in New Orleans. At Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen the Catfish, Gumbos, Pork Chops with brown onion gravy and Lulu's Famous Fried Chicken are excellent.The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very casual. The patio area is my favorite, unless there is live music, then I have to be closer to the music.
There are Specials everyday during the week, with their famous Crawfish Boils on Wednesday nights during the season. If you are looking for a great beer that goes well with Cajun food try the Turbo Dog, originally only available in Louisiana.

On several visits there has been live music and in the true "NOLA" tradition meaning I'm not sure if or how they schedule.
If Baby Kay is in the house tell her Nancy Laswick sent you and let the good times roll!
