I'm not the biggest fan of this restaurant. The staff was great, but the food wasn’t. The bacon was mostly fat, and the biscuit… well, it didn’t really look like a biscuit. Fatty bacon is always unappealing, and the biscuit had an unusual taste.

I rarely get to dine on the West Bank, but jury duty called and it was lunchtime. I walked to the closest place on this lovely day, and, because it was early for lunch, I sat right down. My friendly server was right there with with a menu and offering me a drink. I ordered the red beans and rice, because it was Monday, amirite? I worked on the salad with my entree. The greens were cold and crisp. The beans were tasty and creamy, and served with a nice, flavorful sliced sausage. For me, this was a perfect lunch, and I left only $20 with the tip. Good job, y'all.

Found this hidden gem while I was called for jury duty today. Very friendly staff and my food was extremely delicious.
Got the gyro sandwich and fries combo they had today.
Was very flavorful. The homemade taziki sauce was perfect.
Will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.
Thanks Courthouse Cafe!

Ordered a Greek salad from here and it was an awful sight. They made it with a mixed salad bag which was iceberg lettuce and it was turning brown. A Greek salad is made with romaine lettuce. $15 for a sour bad bag of lettuce. I want a REFUND!!

*UPDATE TO OWNERS RUDE COMMENT - I am not sure exactly what you are talking about. I never discussed with anyone at your establishment about parking. I paid to park on the street. You must have a lot of un happy customers to get me confused with another customer.
Good luck to you, sir
Food here is horrible! Nothing but terrible attitudes from the owner and I believe his son ...
Much better options to choose from in Gretna!

I'm giving one star based on the prices which have gone up considerably recently and please don't use inflation as an excuse!! It's gouging cause you think you can get away with it.

I would not recommend this place. I ordered takeout, which included three pork chop plates. The pork chops looked nothing like the one advertised by the waitress last time I was there, who showed me hers while raving about how great the pork chops were at the restaurant. Her pork chop looked as if it was cooked to perfection. I could tell it was juicy and looked well seasoned. When I opened my plates, however, my pork chops were visibly over cooked. They were all dark on at least one side, as if burned. I bit into one anyway and, as I thought, it was so dried out and over cooked that I couldn’t even feed it to my dog. I went back to get a refund and was instantly met with nasty attitudes from who I believe was the owner and his son. The older man told me that the pork chops were no good because I’d driven from Gretna to Gentilly with them. Just because I mentioned when I called in the order that I was coming from Gentilly does not mean I drove back to Gentilly. I went uptown because I was treating my family there to what I thought would be great food, from the looks of the sample pork chop I was shown my first visit there and the co-signature of the waitress, who was very pleasant and the only good thing about this establishment. When I told the older man he didn’t know where I went when I left, that I had not traveled far, and that there’s no way the pork chops continued to cook in the plate until they were burned and dry, the son then jumped in and said, “I was going to refund your whole order but now all I’m refunding is these three plates.”1. I NEVER ONCE demanded or even mentioned anything about a full effing refund and have NO PROBLEM paying for edible food, which the rest of the food was. The whole comment was unnecessary and smelled of racial profiling. They treated me as if I was some ghetto black person coming there to cause a scene and try to get free food. I match energy, so what you WILL NOT DO is be rude and nasty to me and expect me to bow my head and be polite.2. If I came there and dropped $90+ dollars on lunch in the first place (plus a tip), do you really think that I’m hurting for a full refund? So yes, that comment just infuriated me even more. Perhaps learn to keep your mouth shut instead of being smart a**es with customers when they complain about food that should never have been plated in the first place! I’d already complained to the lady over the phone on the way there (I actually wasn’t going to even bother getting refunded but they wouldn’t answer my calls when they saw my number on the caller ID because they knew I was calling about the below quality food they’d just sent me off with, so I started driving back), so I didn’t have anything more to say about it when I got there but the owner and his son just had to open their mouths with the attitudes, escalating a situation that didn’t need to be escalated. Again, you will not get away with talking to me like I’m stupid and telling me that food continues to cook and burn when taken off the heat source. That’s crazy. They don’t have to worry about me returning if that’s how they treat paying customers who tip well. Again, the one waitress with the glasses was super sweet both visits. I don’t see how she works with such nasty people.
