“Came here with a group of 4 on a Friday around 530. We were seated and attended to right away. The service was nice and the food was really good. We actually found that going alacart was cheaper then getting a combo on the menu. My mom shared a 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of green muscles, we added corn and sausage and like 2 ordered of garlic bread, plus we each had a margarita and our total was like 60 dollars as opposed to one combo with no drinks, and no garlic bread is like 60 dollars. Anyhow the flavors were so good we tried the butter garlic on the shrimp and the stinken sauce flavor on the muscles and everything was delicious! I recommend this place because it's also really close to (driving close that is) the long Beach exchange/ hanger for some walking around after you are nice and stuffed.“

“Bourbon Street Bar & Grill is a low-key spot that serves amazing Cajun food! Their gumbo is packed with flavor, and the jambalaya is a perfect blend of spices and seafood. The ambiance is very casual, with a cozy New Orleans vibe. The service was friendly and attentive, making it a great experience. Definitely coming back to try more dishes“

“Be sure to make a reservation, or else you will be waiting a long time to be seated depending on the time of day. It's been years since we've dinned here, and it's still The BEST fried chicken around. Our table had the fried chicken, chicken pot pie, chicken dumpling, everything was AMAZING, the fried chicken was not greasy at all, the pot pie was a little dry, however I was given extra gravy/sauce to use, delish! The boysenberry salad dressing is incredible, everything was yummy! Lots of food, plenty to take home. Our tummy's were full. Overall the food is absolutely delicious. The hostess and staff, and of course our waitress were all very kind and very attentive. Will definitely go back :)“

“I love the food here. Their chicken is one of the best in my opinion.

The service is poor just for the fact that they are always understaffed. I went on my lunch break for a quick meal and there was only one employee handling the drive thru and customers that were dining in.

I drove thru so can't really say much about the dine in atmosphere but it looked nice inside regardless.“
