Jack Dempsey's Description:
Gargantuan appetites are called for at this converted Bywater cottage just a few yards from the Industrial Canal. Order a large Coke and up pops a quart. An appetizer of fried okra is enough for a small family. The "small" fried-seafood platter---a steep mound of fish, shrimp, oysters, soft-shell crab, stuffed crab, either french fries or baked macaroni and cheese and a cup of gumbo---could satisfy three normal appetites. In this place, the lack of a tempting dessert list is a blessing. Frying is so much the specialty here that the menu includes a disclaimer for anything ordered broiled: Broiled food is not for everyone. Reservations are a no-no, so expect to wait in line on weekends. And expect leftovers too. A hefty percentage of the profit at Jack Dempsey's has to come from the Styrofoam doggy boxes it sells to customers who can't eat even half of what's on the plates.
