Cajun Restaurants near Gretna, LA

“Great food and great service. I have never had a bad meal there. Great place. We drive 45 min to have dinner there. Love it“

“Decided to try this establishment as we have passed it for a while. It may have said it was a Red Bird fried 🐔🍗 chicken but also was a daiquiris shop. Ordered our food, wife got a chicken sandwich 🥪 with fries 🍟 and I got a breast and wing with fries 🍟. After a short time our food was served. Wife got what she ordered and I got a drumstick 🍗 and a back, completely opposite of what I ordered. Upon going back to the register the manager asked what was wrong and I explained what was wrong and said immediately corrected the problem. Kudos to the manager. The young man that took out order was wearing dark sunglasses 😎 while he took out order and afterwards he took them off. Food was hot 🥵 and tasty.“

“We had a breakfast wrap that was Amaazing............“

“This the best food I ever had in my life. Worth the wait.“

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“My husband and I went on Friday night for dinner. Could not wait to try the new menu and it was simply awesome. To start with, our sever team was Isaac and Cheyanne and they were great. We never waited for anything. The Hot Crab Claws and Foie Gras Torte for appetizers were divine. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet and my husband had the visiting fish, Sea Bass over Yakamein. While the fish was excellent, the Duck ruled the table. Thanks to the Servers and Kitchen for a wonderful meal. We'll be back.“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“Anything, I love Commander Palace. I have been there so many times.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans was at Toups! We had a charcuterie board with their house made hogs head cheese, chicken liver mousse and foie gras accompanied by house pickles. Simply incredible!! The hogs head cheese was the best I’ve ever had! I especially loved the chunkiness of it with nice pieces of tender pork! The crispy turkey necks! Oh my goodness… AMAZING! The braised lamb neck entree was exquisite with a generous portion and crispy spaetzle! Even leftover, it was great!! I also had their pork chop and applesauce cocktail which was creative and also delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Great work Chef Isaac and team!“

“Wow!!! The best food I have had in a long time. Every thing was absolutely delicious. Service was amazing. Highly suggest everyone should experience this place.“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“My favorite New Orleans restaurant. The food is always fresh, flavorful and delicious. Frank keeps the menu seasonal and world with what's fresh in the market. New Orleans is home to many fine dining restaurants but none dinner than Brigtsen's. it's friendly, distinguished, welcoming to all. I'm not a fancy person and I've never felt out of place here. You won't find a better place to dine.“

“Great food reasonably priced. Much better than some of the better known and prettier places we’ve eaten at in Nola. We had the super dome and Benson Boogie. We will be back!“

“Wow! Three of us ate lunch at Cafe Reconcile, the food was absolute perfection. We started with the fried turkey necks appetizer. Going into it we weren't sure what to expect but let me tell you.... they were unbelievably good!!! All of us had the Fried Green Tomato BLT on Jalapeno Cornbread Toast.... more perfection! Side dishes were Gumbo and Sweet Potato Crumble.....yep, perfection! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and absolutely spotless. The staff were exceptional and very attentive. The prices were extremely reasonable and I guarantee you won't find better food at an expensive high end restaurant. Be sure to check this place out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I am a middle aged white woman, so take that for what it's worth. But shiiiiiiiit my 98% Caucasian self was rocking in the corner sobbing because my 2% African heritage (thank you ancestry.com) was set free and gone wild. I have no idea what they do to the food here (clearly I can't cook) but daaaaaaaaang my taste buds have never been so happy. I'm saving the green beans for last, never in my life have I said that. They are that good. Do yourself a favor, eat here. Eat everything here!“

“We stumbled upon this establishment on our way to tour while on vacation. What a happy accident! We had tried a seafood restaurant the day before in the French quarter and left a bit disappointed thinking we wouldn't get the great dining experience we were hoping for while in New Orleans, but Restaurant des Familles more than provided. Everything we had was wonderful, not to mention the service was good and the views were lovely. So happy we stopped!“

“I will always come back for the food and the excellent hospitality.“

“Great food and quick service“

“Me and my wife went for dinner and it was an excellent experience. Waitress was very kind to us and our grandchild. I would definitely go there again and make this a regular dining spot on my list. If you have a chance to go check it out you should go you won’t regret it.“

“The food is good but the employees are rude. I would still eat there again.“

“Grandparents like us appreciate the extra attention Raven shared when we dined in today!! I was going to eat a lot today anyway, and so I did, but it was also a fun time. Many thanks to Walk-On’s.“

“I dined at at 5 of best restaurants in New Orleans from last Sunday through Thursday: Best tie. Mr B's and Antoine's - excellent food &service Next - Commander's Palace and Brennans - very good Poor and Worst !!! Arnauds - truly disappointing! Cold food , poorly staffed. Living on their reputation that is no longer warranted! Overpriced is no surprise“

“Kelly is the best. I live in Shreveport, but had to do my family reunion events in or around New Orleans. Food Symphony was recommended to me by my cousin. I called Kelly and she got the ball rolling. We had good communication through the planning of my Meet and Greet Event for my family. When I walked into my rented space, I was amazed how beautiful the entire set up was. I had the colors I wanted, and all the foods I had requested. The foods were beyond delicious. My family enjoyed the foods, and can't stop talking about the experience that had in Harvey, Louisiana at the Food Symphony/Timeless Moments Event Hall. Thank you Kelly and Trena. Everything was pleasing.“

“Amazing gumbo! Best in the city. Scallops were cooked perfectly. Excellent service and nice atmosphere! Check it out!“

“Delicious food! Best place to taste a little bit of everything New Orleans! Great owners! Great staff!!“

“One of the best hidden gems of New Orleans . Do not sleep on this place. The food is amazing. I also love a restaurant where the owner comes out and checks on his tables . I’ve been a few times now and will be returning“

“We went there on the afternoon of 2/3/24. Mom had been wanting to try it and I actually thought they were closed on Saturdays but we drove by just in case and found them to be open. Atmosphere is, eh. There were no lemons for the sweet tea and they ran out of regular fries for my order so I had to substitute with sweet potato fries. But the burger made up for anything that might have been lacking. That burger was so flavorful and hot and juicy! One of THE best burgers I've had in a long time! It tasted like something I would have made at home. I really appreciated how good it was. And the sweet potato fries were piping hot! I'd go again.“

“We love the food & service. Best breakfast in the French Quarter. We have been dining here for over 8 years & continue to come every time we visit New Orleans.“

“We were there for dinner 3/14/22 and breakfast on 3/16/22. Great food and even better wait staff. First time I 've ever seen the boss go borrow a cup of booze from another bar to make a drink! We had an excellent tome and will be back.“

“Recommended by a New Orleans native so we gave it a try. The service was a 10/10. My mom loved her lunch entree but my redfish was a little dry. The hush puppies were sweeter than we were used to. The charbroiled oysters were great!!! The seafood gumbo tasted good but I wish there was more seafood.I would return to try something else.“

“Good choices for breakfast that are affordable.“

“This is everything I want in a gumbo place. Neighborhood feel, cold beer, salt of the earth people working here. Chef/owner first person I met.

Gumbo was excellent! Highly recommend the Mumbo Gumbo. Combo of everything. I was stuffed when I walked in and just wanted a cold beer to bide my time- sooooo glad I took their advice and tried the gumbo.

I’ll be back and bring friends!“

“Amazing dining experience at Annunciation. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious, will definitely be coming back.“

“This is the best breakfast ever! Friendly staff, great food, love the mom and pop atmosphere. ❤️“

“Skip the seafood in the French Quarter and head to this spot. This is where the locals come to eat. Large menu, great prices and original Nola food. Delicious!!“

“Brennan's Restaurant is an exceptional venue for weddings! The timeless elegance, iconic atmosphere, and impeccable service create a truly unforgettable experience. We love performing here and being part of such beautiful celebrations—it’s always a pleasure!“

“Laurent was our server. He was friendly, attentive to the table, and quickly responded to additional requests. Loved the music and atmosphere. We were seated quickly.“
