Fat Tuesday "A Taste Of New Orleans" Sherman Oaks

This place was absolutely great! The food was delicious and fresh. The whole vibe was awesome. The staff were so nice and welcoming. The owner was very hands on with everything. He was going around engaging with the customers and making sure that everyone's food was coming out in a timely manner. My Sisters and I had brunch there today for Mother's Day and it was really nice. They also had a saxophonist there that was amazing. ?? I would recommend this place to anyone. If you like good authentic soul food New Orleans style this is the place to go!♥️

Great food, great service, music, absolutely amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended 😊✨✨

Food was amazing! Taster than it has any reason to be. The vibe to this place was so good, can't say enough! Very impressed. Second visit. Last night we celebrated my mother's birthday and I couldn't have asked for better experience. The place practically stopped to sing to my mother "Happy Birthday"! WOW! Oh and let's not forget what an amazing meal we all had. If this crosses your path or you are in the mood for some good food in a great place with amazing atmosphere don't hesitate and go.

prices are little high but the food quality meets the price. they do take long time to serve the food .be prepared for that . you will wait one hour from ordering a dish .

I apologize for my half eaten plate of food. I decided to share once I was able to stop shoveling this amazing food in my face. This place is so much more than just good food. It's an entire vibe. The atmosphere takes you out of LA and put you straight in the south, New Orleans to be exact. The food is perfection. The service is second to none. I wish I could give this place more than five stars. By far my favorite place I have eaten in LA county. I grew up in the south so I'm pretty critical when I come across restaurants in LA claiming southern cooking. This place didn't disappoint! They are a pork free restaurant and I believe black owned which is the cherry on top of the beignet for me. Lots of love. Can't wait to return! The plate I had was black eyed peas, roasted corn, greens and a sauce that pulled it all together topped with fried catfish. We also had two orders of the half fried chicken (my Egyptian husband and daughter both claim it's close to heaven and the best they've ever had, besides mine) ✌️❤️

Well worth a visit. We came at opening for brunch on a Saturday and found street parking right away. Otherwise parking is rough. The service was good, the food was fantastic. The hush puppies are flavorful by themselves, but the remoulade was truly spectacular. The shrimp and grits were something I was not expecting, the sauce that they were in was really quite delightful, and the Grits were chunkier than I'm used to, but it was excellent. The eggs Benedict on crabcakes was delightful, although it wasn't a traditional hollandaise, more of something créoles que, but it tasted wonderful. It's served on a cast iron skillet, which added greatly to the overall flavor. Key point, the eggs were poached perfectly. One downfall was the coffee maker wasn't working so I requested ice tea and all they had was sweet tea l, and it's genuine southern sweet tea so it was really really sweet. it tasted good, just a little too sweet for me.

Servers were friendly and food was tasty. Seemed like it was taking awhile for drinks to come out but then we realized out waiter was the bartender as well. He was super cool though and the food was good. Luckily parking was east on the street. I’d return. Good flavor \\u0026 value!

I want to love this place but it didn't meet my expectations. My wife and I came here on Sunday around 1:45pm. We were able to find an outdoor dining table and that's a plus for dog owners. On every Sunday from 2 to 5pm, they have live band playing music inside the restaurant ? We ordered fried oyster plate and gumbo. The fried oyster plate was flavorful, crispy, and juicy! The fries came with the plate were soggy and salty. The gumbo was a major display. It was so salty that we stopped eating after a few bites. And the portion was tiny...lots of soup and not much else. My wife wanted to return the dish but I didn't want to bother the waitress. Originally, we were going to order their beignets and apple cobbler. Since their main dishes were quite disappointing, we passed on their dessert.

We only tried one thing, and I would rate it a 3, but I am sure this place can do much better. We got the shrimp Po boy with no fixings (how we like it), but the bread was as hard as a rock. I wish they had something to make the sandwich more moist. We asked for the sauce on the side and there was BARELY any, which wouldn't have helped anyway. I don't think I'll be coming back, but don't let that stop you.

Sweet Ice teas have nice lite cinnamon taste. The Rockfish with dirty rice was to die for. 3 bowl comes with Jambalaya, Gumbo and red beans/rice. dessert was topped off with bread pudding and to make it feel like we where in Louisiana……..great LIVE Jazz music!!!!!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and service. Live music was definitely a plus. The food was delicious, will be back again!!

?✊? First off excellent service and hospitality. The food was delicious. We got the dirty fries which have a lil kick to them but if you like spice its perfect for you. The On the Bayou packed a lot of flavor. We got the catfish blackened which was a great decision. We also got the fried catfish and shrimp plate. I preferred the catfish, cooked perfectly with juicy flavor. The place also had some good vibes music that wasn't too loud for conversation. Definitely going back.

Good customer service. Food was good. Shrimp and grits were good. Catfish and cheese grits were good. Beignets were just OK. Would like to try the jambalaya, it looked good. We'll be back.

This is the worst restaurant I’ve been to in Los Angeles ? Elaboration per the owner’s request: I wish I had photos, since the look of these dishes is worth a thousand words! The jambalaya I ordered was pretty obviously canned or at least over a day old; a very runny soupy dark broth (as advertised), however the shellfish inside was poorly cleaned and the entire thing tasted of salt water. I forced about five spoonfuls down my mouth before I couldn’t continue eating it. My partner got a chicken mac and cheese which was crusted over when it was delivered to the table, like it had been sitting out at a buffet for hours already and wasn’t hot or creamy. It’s very easy to make a homemade macaroni and cheese, but this was some kind of packaged cheese sauce that chunked up quickly topped with a bag-shredded cheddar that had crusted over. It was like a dome, requiring a knife to cut open. The hush puppies were good; maybe their sandwiches or po boys would’ve been fresher, but the server had recommended the mac and cheese, which was genuinely the worst I’ve had at a restaurant; Kraft would’ve been significantly more enjoyable. You need to buy fresh ingredients and hire a new chef if you’re going to be charging this much for these dishes. To be honest, I’d never even serve them the way they were served at my dinner. I was extraordinarily disappointed and am pretty shocked by the 4 star rating here.

Our first visit and we were definitely satisfied with our overall experience. Everyone is friendly, family owned and operated business, the decor has that New Orleans vibe, and even has an outdoor patio to host events. The food was so good! Ordered the oysters. Shrimp po'boy, gumbo and hush puppies, everything tasted delicious...! There is live music on Fridays and even offer comedy nights! What a cool place, we are definitely coming back!
