What are some good Creole or Cajun spots in ATL?

Options here are few and far in between. There's Big Easy Grill on the Westside which is decent but not amazing, and PoBoy Shop in Decatur which is excellent but a bit of a drive for me. Any of you baws know of other spots in the metro that are worth visiting?

PoBoy Shop is really the only good one. Big Easy is good for a drink, but the food is mid at best. I hit the PoBoy Shop up at least once a month but it is a hike to get there. The chain if Louisiana Bistros is awful and frozen.

Gumbeaux’s in Douglasville or Henry’s in Acworth.

PoBoy Shop is all I've got. There are places around town, but nothing special. There's always Pappadeaux's.

In Atlanta?

Why would you want to go to a Cajun or Creole restaurant in Atlanta?

It’s a haul to get up there, but it’s worth it.

Henry sold it 2 yrs ago and stayed on for a year during the ownership transition. Those owners are now trying to sell it. It’s nowhere near what it used to be.

The basement bar at PoBoy shop is quietly one of the best vibes in the area.
Louisiana Bistreaux is some of the worst food I've ever eaten, and their service is awful to boot.

Louisiana Bistreaux Seafood Kitchen, East Point. Virginia Ave by the airport.

A good Cajun place would be a huge hit in Atlanta.
There was one outside of Athens in Watkinsville years ago that even got the seal of approval from my picky wife. Gautreaux's. Small place that was fantastic and popular. They grew into a larger place in Athens and eventually sucked and closed down.
While it isn't in Atlanta, there is a seafood market in Gainesville that is outstanding. Atlanta Highway Seafood Market
I wouldn't describe it as Cajun or Creole but they make great poboys. They also have crawfish etouffe on the menu and serve a gumbo that is not my favorite but people seem to love it.
Their fried seafood is as good as it gets. Everything is fresh. Main thing is it is a market too where you can buy whatever you need if you want to cook at home.
Southern Living named it the #4 "catfish joint" in America years ago.
