Cajun Restaurants near Gretna, LA

“Awesome food at a great price.And Awesome service!“

“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.“

“Love everything about this restaurant when u in New Orleans make sure you stop its 1,0000“

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

“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.“

“A New Orleans must! Great tasting, traditional Creole food. Food comes out HOT and the portions are big! A more simple menu that has just enough options and you can’t go wrong with any dish (although I recommend the red beans and rice, stewed or fried chicken and the praline bread pudding). Very impressed with how friendly the staff was. We will definitely be eating here again next time we are in town!“

“Outstanding service and food! I just had the pecan crusted drum and it was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommended!“

“LOVED ALL OF IT! Great food, atmosphere, wait staff and Jacques himself! Go. Eat. Love it!“

“Our experience was excellent. We got the caviar service with our meal and it was delicious. The interior is beautifully decorated. I would recommend the banana fosters and creme Brule for desserts. I look forward to going back!“

“The hands of God himself made this food!!! 11000/10“

“Great food great service what else do you need. I ordered the garlic oyster po boy and some chicken and sausage gumbo. both were to die for. Definitely a place to stop if you are in town. it's a little off the path of the French quarter but worth the drive“

“Wonderful food in a beautiful setting with great service!“

“Food was delicious. Wait staff very friendly and attentive.“

“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.“

“Here for Mardi Gras, staff is phenomenal. True southern hospitality! & We love Sabrina the bartender!“

“Caitlyn was the best waitriss I have ever had“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“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!“

“The fried oysters were delicious, and the service was great and swift. We let the server know we had a plane to catch, and she was very intentional and timely so that we could make our flight in plenty of time. I also like that they have both inside and outdoor seating. It's also in a great location. I recommend it if in the area.“

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

“Highly recommend the Coolinary menu…2 weeks left. Delicious & creative redfish dish, shrimp bisque, & pecan pie. Service was also perfect. Can’t wait to dine there again!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“I was in New Orleans for the French Quarter Festival and was introduced to this restaurant by my Krewe of Cleopathra Float Lt Robyn Sodaro Cook my first time there. I can't wait to go back. The food and the place was amazing and the service! Jacquelyn Smith Waldorf. Maryland“

“My bestie and I visited Monday during Essence Fest Weekend and had the best server Centorrey. She was very attentive and honest from the time we sat down til the time we departed. Her customer service was A+++ Centorrey made coming to this restaurant a joy that I had to see her manager personally and verbally tell him what an amazing job she did. Thank you so much Centorrey and Hadji (Manager) for a great experience. The food and drinks were on point as well just removed those little airplane fans because that do nothing for that NOLA heat. I'll see you guys on my next visit“

“We have been many times. The oyster, crayfish and soup appetizers were excellent. The bbq shrimp were excellent but the shrimp smaller, and the shrimp and grits fantastic. The FAILURE was the desserts. Way too sweet and there were virtually no pecans in the pecan pie. The lemon tart tasted like canned filling and the bread pudding should not be heated in a microwave half was hot half was cold. We will always be back for the bbq shrimp but skip desserts, sadly.“

“Their mission is outstanding!The positive vibe, attentive and friendly service, and delicious food were a highlight of our NOLA visit! Give yourself the gift of a meal, or two, or three!“

“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.“

“Food was outstanding! Restaurant was nice and service was top notch! We will be back again!!“

“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!“

“This was the best meal we had our whole trip!!

Ambiance (4/5): Be sure to wait outside, behind the line on the ground, instead of walking through the door to be seated. We were told that there was no phones allowed (including taking picture/video taking)! My friend got scolded when she took pics of her food and I got yelled at when I took a video from the *outside* of the establishment. The tables are long and you may get seated with other guests. It’s dark and has a dive bar feel.
Service (4/5): They are bustling so service was a little slow. However, the waiter (from upstate new York) was a hoot and gave us the best recommendations for what to get (and not get!) Expect the staff to curse and talk without filters haha
Food (5/5): Everyone at the table was floored with their meals. I got the Coop’s Taste Plate which had a little bit of everything. The gumbo to start was packed with flavor. The fried chicken had a thin and crispy skin, moist on the inside (Get the 3 pieces if you get the main dish because some of the pieces were a little small.) creole, beans/rice, and jambalaya were all super flavorful. We couldn’t have been happier.
Friends loved the Chicken Tchoupitoulas which was juicy and to die for.“

“Old school fried Nola goodness…“

“Great food and quick service“

“The food, amazing The ambiance, beautiful. Ms Mary? She gave me two hugs and a forehead kiss and I will never be the same again. She healed my soul.“

“Great Food! Excellent service! Local support! A++“

“Husband and I were in the mood for Gumbo on this cool Fall night so I googled Gumbo near me and this Gumbo place was the first one to pop up. We checked out the menu online and decided to give them a try since they had variety of different Gumbos. We called in our order and our order was ready when we arrived. 9/10“

“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!!“

“the food was great,service was great,loved the cozy outdoor area,the bathrooms clean !! thank you lil spot grab a bite and get off your feet on bourbon st.“

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

“New Orleans Food & Spirits was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed EVERYTHING we ate! The Voodoo rolls are an appetizer that you MUST try. Simply delicious. All of the food was served hot and fresh. Loaded with flavor and so very well seasoned. I'm going back to get more of the items because of the yummy experience. I strongly suggest this restaurant if you enjoy lots of flavor.“

“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!“

“Shout out to Brynn, the rockin-est server! Best grilled cheese in town!!!“

“Lisa! Went to restaurant based on location - will go back for the staff and the food. Lisa was as fun and pleasant as you could possibly experience. Gave insight when we looked for suggestions. Talked and laughed with us about life in general. Clearly they have regulars. Good food, great prices. And the bottomless Bloody Mary is worth the trip.“

“I love this place! Got tonkotsu ramen for my son and spicy for myself. Hadn’t found potato croquettes since New York so I was happy to see them. The owner is very nice. Everything was so delicious with great depth of flavor. The godzilla is cool.“

“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.“

“Quite surprised to find this gem of a restaurant! The food was great with generous portions. The staff was very attentive and professional without being annoying. Seems like more if a local hang out rather than the usual New Orleans touristy place, which is a definite plus! Added bonus, my husband lost his knife the night we were there. He called the next morning to find that they indeed had found it and he could come pick it up anytime!! What a relief since it had been a gift from our son. They also have a little nod to the staff on the menu - you can buy them a beer for $8, which we were happy to do! They deserve it!“

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