On the North side of the main French Quarter building is
the location where Bonfamille's Restaurant used to be and where
the Scat Cat's Club lounge remains (at least for now). Bonfamille's
closed down in 2000, a victim of lower crowds than at most of the other
resort's restaurants. Just down a short hallway is the Sassagoula
Floatworks & Food Factory food court. Never, outside of the
Crescent City itself, has such a large collection of masks, floats, and
other decorations been brought together. Check out the Mardi Gras
floats and decorations hanging from the ceiling here. It makes for
a festive, if somewhat weird, feeling as you snack on your meal.

The food here is limited, but good. Prices are pretty
decent, too. Beignets, a deep-fried pastry well-known in the French
Quarter, can be purchased here. I hear they're especially fresh
and tasty as a quick breakfast.

There are three places we can get some food here over in
Riverside. Boatwright's Dining Hall, a very decent full-service
restaurant, is themed to appear to be an actual boat construction shop!
Boatwright's is a great place to get a big breakfast, or home-cooked food
at dinner time. In my experience, the food is always good and the
service is good to excellent (especially when you consider the fact that
the prices are so moderate). Bananas Foster is the restaurant's
signature desert.

Just down the hall, toward Riverside's signature cotton
mill, you can pick up some less expensive food at the Colonel's Cotton
Mill food court.

counter area.
Right in the middle of the food court's seating area is
the cotton 'gin... just to give some atmosphere to the place.

Muddy Rivers is a small counter service snack bar located
over on Ol' Man Island, near the Waterin' Hole themed pool. It's
not open all the time, just during the mid-day hours and mostly during
the busier times of the year, but it's in a very convenient location for
folks that want to have a lighter lunch poolside.
