Melvin’s in Houma, LA, situated on the south bank of the Intracoastal waterway, plates up crispy fried catfish and creamy white beans, along with a crusty dinner roll.

If those starches aren’t enough for you, the restaurant will swap the complimentary iceberg lettuce salad for a generous scoop of potato salad–a triple play of carbs, the gold standard of cajun plate lunches!
