Cajun Restaurants near Gretna, LA

“Everything was good.I know next time to get double meat for my taco Salad (in my opinion the ratio was a bit off) nevertheless, the Seafood Platter is great and fresh....what we love is that everything did not taste the exact same but had its own flavor (which is usually hard to do when frying food-so great job kitchen staff).My 5 year old enjoyed his Shrimp“

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

“Just 3 days ago I was visiting all the way from NY! Their food was delicious, the staff was extremely friendly, the porkchops are to die for, & their Collard Greens was so good. No hot sauce needed!!“

“The pool menu and service are AMAZING! The chicken slider is the BEST and it’s priced right. The grilled Caesar salad is my favorite on the regular menu, the dressing is full of flavor and the added prosciutto chips take it over the top. Great job Cafe Hope!“

“Extremely great service by our waiter (funny and described food with great detail). Atchafalaya is one of the top spots I recommend visitors coming to NOLA who want to try elevated Creole/Cajun food. Pork Chops were perfect medium and collard greens is a nice pairing. Shrimp and Grits are rich and flavor full with bits of of sausage throughout. For dessert, try the Pistachio Dark Chocolate Cheesecake- the pistachio flavor pairs wells with the dark chocolate . The Bread Pudding is light - does not have a heavy rum flavor or has the rich sauce some traditional local bread puddings have in New Orleans. This place is a great spot for brunch or dinner“

“IMO its a keeper and a great addition to the rotation. Great ambience. I vacillated on what to order and a last minute switch from the lobster black gnocchi to the veal chop was a good move. Started with the blue crab beignets and a martini (for me) then the veal chop which was delicious and perfectly prepared. For desert I had the creme brûlée bread pudding and espresso. My part of the bill was $125 and it was money well spent.“

“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🥰🥰“

“Fabulous! Family, History, great food, awesome wall pictures“

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

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

“The uniqueness of the menu is only exceeded by the quality of the food and service. The boiled peanuts were well seasoned, and the breading of the alligator bites enhanced their flavor (sometimes breading can overwhelm). Had the Cochon, which was tender and juicy.
The service was top notch--the staff made the meal feel special.“

“Great tasting food, excellent customer service and the owner is a sweetheart!“

“Beautiful building, terrific service, and spectacular food. The Texas quail was phenomenal, and the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had.“

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

“Great food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“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“

“Hidden gem in mid-city. Been to Ralph's several times for Brunch, lunch and dinner. Can't beat the views of City Park and friendly atmosphere. Food is great as are the drinks. Wait staff are well trained and very friendly. You can't go wrong with any of the food here, but your server is always happy to make a recommendation.“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“Wonderful, fresh food, lovely hostess (Miss D) remembered us, the boss, Jason, did as much grunt work as anyone else on the floor, and though seating stops around 8pm, we were never rushed. Of special note are the brussels sprouts, the little cabbage that everyone loves to hate, which was sweet and crispy and barely recognizable as the same vegetable you refused as a kid. Don't neglect the desserts, particularly their pecan pie, which approaches heaven on a plate. Fish and seafood that is breaded is breaded lightly and cooked just right. Convenient location, pleasant atmosphere, decent prices. I love this place!“

“We were in on vacation and decided to stop in for breakfast. The food was amazing; huge portions, and the wait staff was great. Thank you Claudia for the wonderful service. Will definitely stop back if we are in NOLA again.“

“Perfect place for a sports lover or food lover or someone wanting a drink in a comfortable and fun setting!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“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.“

“Great food and quick service“

“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 first restaurant we tried during our NOLA trip! A little expensive but the place has good atmosphere. You will enjoy the experience and music, plus the servers are fun! I met new friends and they're great people! The food is good! Try the BBQ shrimp!“

“I found Brigtsen's About 15 years ago. I have since been there 10 times over the years on vacation. I go to all the fine dining restaurants In NOLA. No matter where I go. Brigtsen's is consistently the best meal of my trip. I just had the pork chop last week in was so delicious. This is truly one of the best restaurants in America. One of my favorite visits is when Frank is there so that I get to say hello. There are not many restaurants were a famous chef is actually there . I try to save room for the pecan pie but I'm not always successful. The menu is so good with choices I get too full. The service is also excellent. So in ending, I could go on for days, I'll just say. When your in New Orleans check out Brigtsen's. It's ok to thank me with every bite.“

“I came in with my husband yesterday for my birthday…visiting from Oklahoma. Everything we tasted was great. Prices were good…and the window seat was wonderful. I may go back in today that’s how good it was. Our server was great and the places felt very welcoming!“

“Great food, great mission.“

“Old school fried Nola goodness…“

“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!“

“The seafood pot pie was delicious this is the best place to eat at. I give them a 5 out of 5“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time trying this restaurant. Will definitely be back! Great food and service.“

“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!!“

“As a chef, in a party of 11, on a holiday weekend, during a festival, and we had a superb experience. We were greeted warmly, had a few moments in the atrium to take some beautiful photos and then we were escorted to a beautifully assembled table. Our server and table assistant we’ve very attentive and informative. Our food was prompt and delicious. Everyone took photos, chatted happily and enjoyed their meals so much. We didn’t experience a single issue during our meal and we all, enjoyed every moment. Thank you Brennan’s, for providing an exceptional experience.“

“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.“

“Our server Kash was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, he gave great recommendations, and provided us with A1 service until we walked out. His personality was very natural and made our time here enjoyable. I highly recommend the restaurant and server Kash!“

“Great experience and food our server Nora was delightful ❤️❤️❤️“

“This review is long overdue. I went to Annunciation for the first time in June and I can't wait to go back. I hadn't heard much about it so I didn't know what to expect.

Everyone at my table loved what we ate -- so much so that we all shared bites of each others' dishes.

The waitstaff were professional and jovial.

It's a new local favorite!“

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

“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!“

“The food is phenomenal it has such a homey feeling that welcomes you with each bite. You will never leave dissatisfied. The service is very generous everyone is very welcoming. I absolutely love this place it is like a hidden gem“

“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 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.“

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

“We accidentally found this place and it was the BEST food and service we’ve had our entire vacation. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious!! Oh…the daiquiris were yummy!!!“

“This is a good restaurant. Delicious food at affordable price. Excellent service. I will go next time. Highly recommended.“
