However, locals consider waiting in line for a restuarant to be be pretty ridiculous. There are 150 restaurants in the French Quarter alone, so waiting outside for any one of them is not usually something they will do. I suggest Begue's in the Royal Sonesta (300 Bourbon) or the Old Coffee Pot on St Peter. If you want "good old American food", try Poppy's on St Peter - open 24 hours and the food is great. BTW: Steer clear of the Court of Two Sisters - they give you quantity, but lack quality. The Brennan's restuarants are great but you'll pay the price. But save your dough and go there for dinner - Yum!
