Harold & Belles Restaurant
You can't get older-school Southern cooking (in an old-school Southern-style kitchen) than Harold & Belle's: it's been at it since 1969, making everything from meatloaf to catfish. The go-to is the creamy étouffée, though, like everything else there, it's made with a tried-and-true recipe passed down through generations.

This 50-plus-year-old stalwart Southern restaurant is offering a holiday catering menu through the end of the year, with pick-up available on Christmas Eve as well. Go for an individual holiday meal that includes a choice of Cajun turkey or beef pot roast as an entrée alongside cornbread stuffing, candied yams, French bread, and bread pudding. Or mix and match larger combo meals for 12 to 25 people, which come with choices of signature sides, entrees, breads, and desserts. Everything is available a la carte, too, which means you can stock up on mashed potatoes, sauteed green beans, creamed spinach, red beans and rice, and other H&B Southern specialties. And if you need to feed a serious crowd, order one of the fabled file gumbo pots served with steamed rice and French bread.
Takeout details: Side dishes and entrees $60-$90, serve eight to ten; desserts $25-$75; file gumbo pots $285, 20-30 servings; $445, 40-50 servings.
