Cajun Restaurants near Gretna, LA

“Always have good service and good food even when extremely busy. Stacey and Dominique are great servers that always have your best interest. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Gawd came down from on high and said , upon this fried chicken I will build my church … and nobody said nothing because their mouths were full. It’s delicious. Go get it.“

“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!“

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

“Everything. My favorite establishment in New Orleans!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Izzy is such a great bartender. Very knowledgeable about the menu. She is also extremely funny I couldn’t focus on the amazing food in front of me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone planning on going into Walk-Ons. Thank you Izzy!“

“Had the okra ,fried chicken and candied yams SoooooooGoooood thought l was at my mothers kitchen. WOW. everything was full of FLAVOR. Will be back. Thank You🥰🥰“

“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!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“Muriel's is definitely a place to visit in the French Quarter! The food, the staff(especially Randall) and the experience was amazing!“

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

“I drove AT NIGHT. WITH AN ASTIGMATISM. all the way from DA PARISH to THE CITY for this bread pudding. Took a wrong turn down a one-way like a true local menace, didn’t even put my dentures in, and would absolutely do it again because this bread pudding had me seeing God, my ancestors, and Louis Armstrong all at once. Soft. Sweet. Soaked just right. Illegal in at least three states. Now let’s talk about the REAL MVP: the waitress/bartender with the cute lipstick. Ma’am was serving looks, vibes, and hospitality like she was born behind that bar during Jazz Fest. Sweet as pralines, sharp as a Saints comeback, and made the whole place feel like your favorite cousin’s house—if your cousin knew how to pour a drink and flirt professionally. I am currently eating this bread pudding right next to the establishment like a raccoon with a treasure, specifically to keep my husband from getting a bite. He had 45 whole minutes to get out of bed, put on clothes, and drive me here before closing—and chose violence (sleep). That’s on him. I chose dessert. 10/10. Worth the drive, the risk, the one-way street, the bare gums, and the marital pettiness. New Orleans at its finest.“

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

“Old school fried Nola goodness…“

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

“Excellent, personable service, best tasting shrimp po boy that I have ever tasted! I wish they were located in our area!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went for a lite meal & shared the Gumbo, a Caesar Salad w/Oyster & Mixed greens salad w/blood orange, goat cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds, & grilled shrimp. All was excellent but the Caesar may have been the best I’ve ever had. Loved this place. Will return for more.“

“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!“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“From the moment you walk in every thing is just outstanding. From start to finish you will be amazed. Do try the wine pairing. Worth every penny! The staff so warm and welcoming. The food just fantastic. Will be back for sure! Thank you♥️“

“Superb service and delicious food“

“3/7/26. This is the gonto place for real Cajun food. I traveled 35 minutes to try Chef Ron's Gumbo. It was just as expected. The seafood Gumbo was delicious, and the pecan pie was excellent. If your in the neighborhood stop by and check out Chef Ron's Gumbo.“

“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’d have pictures but our amazing waiter threatened us to keep the cellphones in our bags and just enjoy the food, each other, and honestly, just joking around with him. I had the fried chicken with jambalaya and it was delicious from the first to the last bite. I haven’t laughed to tears so hard in all my life. Go and keep your cellphones in your bags. Enjoy the food, each other, and the people around you.“

“Great food and quick service“

“Amazing food, friendly atmosphere. I've been hearing about them for years and so glad I finally got to go. Well worth the wait. The debris is amazing!!“

“If there were a gold standard for hospitality, it would be JC, our waiter at Mr. B’s Bistro. We brought a group of dear friends along this time—and JC made each of us feel genuinely part of the Mr. B’s family. We’ve been dining here since 1979, and somehow JC has only grown even more remarkable with time. The food, of course, is exquisite. We started with spring rolls and crabcakes, and, naturally, the freshly baked warm French bread with butter. Truffle fries for the table were a decadent prelude to the main event. Several of us savored the filet—perfect with garlic rounds and sautéed spinach. The snapper, as always, was sublime. The gumbo and barbecue shrimp are quintessential New Orleans specialties—so iconic that I even try my hand at the shrimp at home using the recipe from the Mr. B’s Bistro cookbook. Desserts were equally delightful: the bread pudding, salted caramel chocolate cake, and, of course, the classic profiteroles. Cocktails were spot on, and the red wine we chose from their extensive list paired beautifully with the meal. Nestled on Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter, Mr. B’s Bistro is a treasure, and JC is its beating heart. Fifty years in, and we still can’t imagine going anywhere else. Dining here is less a meal than a tradition—and like a fine red wine—or even their unforgettable barbecue shrimp—JC only gets better with time.“

“Just the best food!! The real deal!! And the staff is great!!“

“Mikaela was an awesome server! She had amazing energy, was so knowledgeable about the menu, and most importantly had the food and drinks orders correct and on time! 10 out of 10 RECOMMEND, Coming back again!! 🤗❤️“

“Food and service is top tier. Im from Baltimore and I will def be visiting Nola again just to come back for Mambos food. we sat on the rooftop and it was so chill and beautiful views. We tried so much food and everytbing was 100/10, the flavor, the temperature and the freshness.“

“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.“

“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 came during our visit for my sister's 16-year wedding anniversary, and I must say the service and food were all great. We were treated like family. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his adorable son, who was trying to win over our women—one of the coolest little guys you will get to meet while dining here. I highly recommend dining in. Don't get the food to go, or you will miss out on the best part of coming to Nonno's: the hospitality. There's nothing like being far from home but getting treated like family. Truly, thank you for a great meal and an even better time.“

“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.“

“We visit this restaurant every time we come to New Orleans. The owner is so sweet and kind and the service as usual is excellent. While here this time the owner was having the bar tender to make different drinks and she kept bring over drinks for us to try, I am not talking about little shot glasses but regular drink classes. To say I wasn’t feeling any pain is an understatement. I highly recommend that you check out this restaurant, I promise you want be sorry.“

“Excellent food. Good portions. Courteous staff.“

“Absolute five stars 100% of the way
Parking can be a bit tight but let me tell you, it’s all worth it
I really wish I would’ve got the server’s name she was amazing and was the bright spot of our visit
We decided on a half a poor boy and a cup of soup along with a half order of hush puppies
Our amazing server brought our tea and kept them full
When the hush puppies came they were light fluffy very flavorful probably some of the best I’ve ever eaten
That was just a prelude to the rest of the meal, next course that came was my seafood gumbo again probably one of the best I’ve ever eaten amazing flavor and seafood in every bite
My wife had had the crawfish corn chowder and it was also amazing, ask me how I know lol
When our poor boys came my wife chose the catfish and I had the shrimp
If I wasn’t so caught up in the moment I would’ve taken a picture I could not even see the bun there was so much shrimp same for my wife they are not stingy with the portions
It was a perfect, the bun was the type that was flaky and crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside
The breading on the shrimp and catfish was the type that was crunchy and crisp but not over seasoned you could actually taste the catfish and shrimp you know what I mean

Highly highly recommend visiting this establishment“

“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.“
