The food here is so amazing! The New Orleans-based decorations and music blasting make it feel familiar inside the building. The staff was extremely nice and patient, answering our questions and making small talk. They're extremely sustainable by using reusable silverware and dishes. However, the tables are close to each other, which adds to the homey/familiar vibe, but it doesn't help with preventing COVID-19. Though, they do offer take-out as a counter! The area is really small with limited parking but the experience there left a big impression.

Great food, great service, and beignets are amazing. All the food came out hot and fresh, and seasoned to perfection.

Love love love this place! The food, the vibes, the drinks!!! Yes. I love the seafood loaded fries the most. Catfish sliders are a must as well.

The food was well seasoned. We went on last Friday, around 3pm so it wasn't crowded yet. We enjoyed the music while we sipped on our drinks and ate our food. Sorry, no pics!

First time here ! Food was amazing ! Vee was our server and I would like to thank her for making this experience worth it ! Great attitude , very knowledgeable about the menu and she always had a smile on her face . The only thing that was concerning was the music was a little too loud .

Creole Connection is a true gem for anyone craving a taste of New Orleans with a side of hospitality. Victor, the manager, and Victoria, the bartender, made our visit unforgettable with their warm welcome and expert service. But it's not just about the people; the food is authentic and bursting with flavor. And let's not forget the drinks—crafted with care and creativity, they perfectly complement the delicious cuisine. And to top it all off, the hookahs added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. With Victor and Victoria leading the way, Creole Connection is a must-visit spot for delicious food, friendly faces, great drinks, and a fantastic hookah experience. Sherdaè

Food overall is excellent! And staff is friendly and knowledgeable.Though I would say it is expensive. At these prices would expect to have a bit more of a traditional dining experience, in a much better

The food was hot and delicious. On my first visit I had the blackened fish with the seafood rice. On my second visit I had the lamb chops for Sunday brunch. The food and drinks were very good. Each visit I went with different people and no one had any complaints. I did have the same server both times and he was excellent.

I finally made it to this restaurant, the vibe was straight and I loved the Playlist or station of old R&B!! I visited during happy hour and ordered the loaded fries as an appetizer. My entree was the blackened shrimp plate and that dirty rice was good. Nia was the server and she was very hospitable, funny and apologetic. I'd go back. Con: the wait time for food and drinks were a bit too long

Customer service was AMAZING… my drink was AMAZING. My husband wanted the pasta but they were out… I got shrimp and fish. Shrimp was spicy but too salty, the fish and fries were great. Loved the flavor on it… definitely going again but trying something different next time.Kid-friendliness: Bartenders and owner were professional and friendly

I went here for a quick snack before dinner. It was a lot of people enjoying the DJ and a good vibe. I sat at the bar to place my Togo order with drink while I waited. I got the Panty Dropper a must try!! I ordered fried green tomatoes, catfish sliders and the Voodoo Eggrolls. Everything was made to order and out pretty fast. I love the catfish and tomatoes and the eggrolls were different but really good and flavorful. I had no clue what I was getting wirh them but I was not disappointed!! I will be back soon

Was greeted promptly and seated very quickly. Our server Vee was great and very sweet! Atmosphere is laid back and cute with a good DJ. I ordered the $15 fish special with fries and seafood rice. It also came with a drink. It was a great deal! The fish was fried hard which I like but very salty. The fries weren't the best but were edible. The seafood rice was very tasty! We got there in time for the happy hour which has a decent amount of options for a great price! My friend got the Katrina which she said was very good and I got the blue mf which they were not light handed with at all which was a good thing lol. Both were $5. Overall I would consider coming back for the vibe and to try something else.

I did not particularly care for the entire experience! The music was too loud and the choice of music really bothered me. Sexy Red don't cut it for me! Especially when you have children in your establishment. I understand that people want their business to bump, but we must always take into consideration who is in our presence. I had the chicken and waffles. It wasn't the worst that I've had, I just didn't see anything on the menu that I cared for. The atmosphere was loud because the music was loud! Either you're gonna have a restaurant or a club!?
