Dunbar’s Creole Cooking has found a new home at Loyola a year after Hurricane Katrina flooded its former Freret Street location.

The family-owned restaurant, well known for its all-you-can-eat fried chicken and red beans and rice, will open Monday on the Broadway Campus in the space formerly occupied by the Pine Street Cafe.

“This was a match made in heaven,” said Chris Cameron, director of student activities. “We needed something big on the Broadway Campus for law students, Cabra (Hall) residents and for faculty and staff.”

Cameron said a plan to open Dunbar’s on the Broadway Campus was in place within a week after the family first approached Loyola about relocating their restaurant to the Pine Street location.

“It’s such a fit,” Cameron said, adding that this is one way he believes Loyola can help rebuild the city.

Dunbar’s opened on the corner of Oak and Leander streets in 1985 and moved to its Freret Street location in 1989.
