***NO MILITARY DISCOUNT*** Hands down, one of the most delicious meals we have had on our 6-day stay in New Orleans. Excellent atmosphere with a traditional setting. Vibrant colors throughout the establishment. Staff was friendly and had excellent recommendations. We ate red beans and rice with fried chicken. YUMMY! The Leah Chase's Shrimp Clemenceau is FIRE! Three members of our party ordered this, and it was PERFECTION! The kiddos shared a Creole burger with an extra side of Mac and Cheese! Don't miss this place while visiting New Orleans. There is a dress code, so be sure you are dressed appropriately/modest.
We had a 15 wait on a late Saturday night w/no reservation. We enjoyed libations at the bar. After placing our order, we were encouraged to view the Art while we wait. We had the gumbo, jambalaya, and peach cobbler. All were exceptional! Fine dining, art and supporting a local legacy. 5 star experience!
A New Orleans staple and for very good reason. Hospitable and friendly staff, artsy and visually stunning work on the walls, and of course every item on the menu being art itself for your body to experience. Mac and cheese, fried chicken, chicken creole and the iced tea is what we were able to enjoy and enjoy we did! Someone wash the chef’s feet because he put his foot in everything in that kitchen. Dooky Chase is not just a restaurant serving food, it’s a haven serving experiences to all those who trust entering those doors.
Don’t believe the negative reviews regarding the food! Everything we had was delicious! We had the Gumbo, red beans and rice with fried chicken, chicken creole with jambalaya, French style green beans and Mac and Cheese. Everything was flavorful! I would recommend everything we had. There wasn’t anything i didn’t like! I do wish they put more meat in the red beans and rice, but that’s probably why they serve it with chicken. Definitely make a reservation. We made one and we’re seated quickly, but service took a while. I was also kind of confused because the hostess came up to a very elderly guest and made him take his hat off. He explained he wears the hat because his head gets very cold, but she said it was against policy to wear hats in the dining room. This “policy” isn’t posted anywhere and I thought it was a very inappropriate to treat one of our elders that way. Overall, I gave this historic restaurant 4 stars overall. 5 stars for the food and 3 stars for service.
I was in Nola celebrating my 55th birthday, and this restaurant was on my daughter's bucket list. We were completely satisfied with our food, the service, and the opportunity to meet, Ms. Leah's daughter. I'm grateful for the words of encouragement she spoke to me as a previous restaurant owner/caterer. I'm beyond encouraged and left there renewed and full! I had the fried chicken with yams, greens, macaroni, and cheese and peach cobbler. My daughter & niece had the catfish, jambalaya, red beans, and rice. I would highly recommend this place.
