Places to eat New Orleans with "authentic" southern food

I have some friends coming in from up North and they want to go somewhere in New Orleans to experience authentic southern food.
Thinking GW Fins, Peche, Commanders Palace (although I can't book a reservation on date needed) August, or Upperline..... am I missing something obvious?

To me, authentic cuisine is what would routinely be served at dinner tables across the region.
I would think the average New Orlean's diet would have things such as red beans/rice, fried chicken, seafood poboys, meat and three, and perhaps some fried or boiled seafood toward the weekend.

Commander's and it's not even close.
All of the ones you listed besides commander's is what tourists think southern food tastes like.

Willie Mae’s

Tell them that they are in NOLA and that you will show them authentic NOLA. If they want authentic southern, tell them to go to Charleston or Birmingham or some other place like that.

Um what
When people say southern, I don’t think seafood. I think collards. Something fried.

None of those are “southern”, southern means plate lunch style

How about Muriels

Exactly. I think Stockyard Cafe in NBR by the old bridge. Every recipe starts with either batter and deep fry or a pound of backn and a pound of butter.

Friend wants southern his SO wants seafood and they want to go somewhere nice. When they come in we plan on hitting New Orleans for lunch, sight seeing, drinks/lights at the Roosevelt, Christmas in the Oaks, etc.... looking more for dinner options
Commanders is at the top of the list but I can't get a reservation online and I would need to call.

Cochon is another option, but like most are saying, you are just getting complicated food that people will think is southern.

Whatever you do, don't have them stand in long lines at either Mother's or ACME.

I did not know what you mean by “authentic southern food”. Could you elaborate?
How many meals and what day of the week? Any money, location or dress considerations ?

Soul food or NOLA authentic? Huge difference.

Neyow's on Bienville and Jeff Davis.

Angeline is more Southern rather than Creole or New Orleans style if that is what you're really looking for. Otherwise, Brigtsen's is consistently good with seafood, usually rabbit and duck on the menu as well.

EAT may be what your'e looking for. You can bring a bottle of wine or beer but they do not serve it.
GW Fins usually has some fresh La seafood and is a great restaurant but I wouldn't call it "southern food"
Commanders is a great experience and you can't go wrong
Peche is a great restaurant but again I wouldn't call it "southern"

Brigtsens is great and he’s an old veteran of Commanders and K Paul’s which is another one I’d add to the list.
And I wouldn’t dwell too much on “Southern” and just concentrate on good food.
I’d consider Clancy’s as well.
