Service was very fast. It appeared to be 80% full and our meals came out quickly. Drinks, appetizers, entree, drinks - all that and we walked out within an hour of our arrival. Food was great. We especially liked the po boy w/ blackened shrimp. Deviled eggs were wonderful, good spin on the classic without going overboard. I recommend the rum punch. We’ll be back to try more menu items! Small gripe, I booked through open table and they sent me a no show email. Got it taken care of though,
The food here was EXCELLENT!!! If you're looking for a taste of New Orleans, this is it!! The poboy was fabulous. I had the fried catfish and my friend had the fried oyster. The fried chicken wings came out hot and fresh. I could smell the greens cooking outside so, of course I had to have them. Great choice. The red beans and rice were accompanied by a charred hot sausage link. Mmmmmm. The hurricane drink is a must. Service was quick and friendly. The only drawback was since it's a neighborhood restaurant, parking was scarce. Don't let that stop you. Find parking on North Ave and walk off what you ate. Definitely returning for more.
Didn't know I would need reservations. A little notice of such would have sufficed. The food, however, was very displeasing! This restaurant is supposed to be "New Orleans " style, but apparently the cooks don't know nor never been to New Orleans to know what the food tastes like. We ordered the crab dip for starters and this platter that feeds 3-4 ppl. The crab dip was by far the worst dip I've had in my life. It tasted like shredded card board and cheddar cheese. The ONLY thing that was DECENT was the fried shrimp. I won't be back to dine ever!
Love the food here! Everything is tasty but the biscuits are sooo good. Highly recommend. The only downside is I feel the red beans and rice are inconsistent. Sometimes there is more rice than red beans while I prefer less rice. Otherwise, great food, great atmosphere, clean bathrooms.
Came here after the wait at Kasama was too long. The offerings seemed good. Louisiana cuisine is always a personal draw. However this place started losing stars after a couple of items were no longer available despite being listed on the menu. They don’t serve the absinthe Frappe and were out of the gator sausage. There was a live jazz band playing. Would’ve been great but we were in a group and would’ve liked to converse more. Was really loud so keep that in mind if you want to hold a conversation. When the band wasn’t playing the speakers were blaring. The food was ok. Fries are bland def a skip for me. The beignets are too doughy and heavy. Chicken was good but one of our friends didn’t get their entree even though it was ordered. All in all I do not recommend.
