Dixie Cafe at Houmas House and Gardens

The food was good. The service is lacking. Most everyone eating appeared to work there, so they knew the rules and procedures which were not normal, in my opinion. It was confusing. It had upscale table settings and buffet setup, but you ordered and paid before you were allowed to be seated. Waitresses were visible, but you had to go to the counter to get a drink refill. They did not know how to treat guests.

We live Houmas house.
It is such a beautiful place with an amazing staff.
We stay there every Mardi Gras before we drive into New Orleans.
Lovely. Quiet and serene.

Watch the peacocks strolling through the garden.

When you visit be sure to bring some tennis balls for Maggie and Dixie.

They are the sweetest dogs.

We have dinner at the carriage house and breakfast at the Dixie cafe.

If you ever stop by…. You will never forget it.

I like the staff and it’s a very nice place

My family ate the buffet lunch here. Everything tasted super delicious. We all enjoyed our meal. The buffet was all Louisiana/Cajun type food, not spicy. Bread pudding at the end of the row.

We were disappointed not to see the dogs some reviewers mentioned.

The grounds are beautiful, we walked around for an hour after our meal.

Food is really good, only downside is for breakfast someone came in with 2 big dogs and let them just run around. This happened twice already. The dogs came around us while we were eating. Don’t get me wrong I like dogs but running around while you’re eating in a restaurant not good for business.

I went here for breakfast and really enjoyed the food provided. The only complaint I have is the owner coming in with two big dog unleashed allowing them to wonder around costumers as they are eating.

Very accommodating guide. It would have been nice to have a German translation.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. I live near The Dixie Cafe and the food is consistently good. Perfect for a Sunday brunch.

Went for a work lunch with a large group, since the buffet is an easy choice. The food was pretty solid, not a ton of options, but a decent variety (not for vegetarian folks have to say!) The staff was super accommodating so I don't want to knock their service, they were fantastic. The room itself is beautiful but it is SO LOUD. Like, I could barely carry a conversation with the person next to me loud. It was honestly just a lot. I don't think I'd go back unless I was there touring the property (and didn't want to splurge for the fancier restaurant). The grounds are stunning, and there's a lot to do on site, I do want to go back and see the rest.

Absolutely stunning property. Atmosphere, service and food were all wonderful. A small walk over bridge and you'll be overlooking a beautiful lake. Houmas House, Houmas Museum and Dixie Cafe are definitely worth the visit.
