New Orleans Lunchbox Restaurant

Delicious Cajun food! Highly recommend the jambalaya and the poboys! Excellent iced tea! Gotta come back to try the Hillbilly Burrito!

An excellent mix & match of New Orleans and BBQ offerings. Can't go wrong!

Incredible food. Authentic Cajun and incredible brisket.

So delicious!!

All I can say is etouffee is not supposed to be opaque orange and jiggle like jello over gummy rice. Also there were zero crawfish tails. Whatever crawfish they put in there were actually blended up, which I guess accounts for the orange julius color, lol.

It's crazy because etouffee is possibly the fastest and easiest Cajun dish: a quick medium roux, saute the trinity in that, add some water or stock, a few cajun spices, some crawfish or shrimp, serve over rice and you're done. That might take all of 30 minutes. I hear these nice ladies come from Louisiana, too, but clearly that doesn't mean they can cook. I guess we lucked out with a mom who could.

Anyway, the charmingly named New Orleans Lunchbox is a big nope for me.

Just outstanding! Pulled pork is out of this world!

I’ve had the shrimp poboy at least 10 times. The shrimp is always breaded and cooked to perfection, and they load the sandwich up to the point that I wonder if they make any money off of it. The poboy bread is soft and flaky like you would expect a Cajun restaurant to have. I’m always satisfied when I leave. 10/10!

Melt in your mouth Brisket, whole cuts, smoked over 17 hours. Another one of those places you love to find out about. My co worker had enthused about this place for months, I finally made it out here. He was right.

This is a place where the food truly shines. Good ole New Orleans style Cajun served out of a gas station! I had the etoufee, a shrimp po boy, and a chicken quarter and it was some of the best I have had and the best you can get in Huntsville. The service was good and friendly! The atmosphere is a literal gas station but to me that only makes the experience better! Highly recommend and I already cannot wait to eat there again!

My husband stopped by to get red beans and rice about 40 minutes before they closed. I have never had a complaint about their food until today he got home about 5 pm. It was so watery hardly any rice in it. It’s supposed to be red beans and rice not soup and hardly any rice. Literally I’ve waited a week for our paycheck to have this for dinner because it was good the last time but this time it definitely isn’t worth 15$ a container. If they were running out of rice they shouldn’t have even sold it to him. If I wanted soup I would’ve gone to Panera bread. Won’t be back for awhile.

I always frequent this place cause they sell the best crawfish, but lately they've been lacking. The last time I got crawfish, it was bland, but the crawfish was still fresh. I tried it again, but this time not only was the crawfish bland, but it was over cooked or not fresh. The crawfish was very mushy and very watery and the sausage they included was extremely watery and mushy. It's a shame, I love their crawfish and sausage, but for the price I paid I don't think I'll be returning for a while.

Excellent pork barbecue, potato salad and coleslaw! I found this place by doing a search for a muffaletta sandwich. Glad I went but they don't have muffalettas.
