“Bar R’evolution is everything I want in a New Orleans destination: Good food; superior libations; professional staff; and engaging conversation with patrons. Last night’s meal of bone marrow, butter-poached lobster and smoked duck exceeded expectations. The 20-year-old Tawny Port arrived in a huge(!) bottle - my bar mates went wild. Thanks for a great meal.“
“Keyshawn was not a friendly server. Tracy was amazing! Food was great. Highly recommend visiting this historic establishment. Please retrain Keshawn to treat ALL customers the same and try to contain her unfriendliness. Overall we did enjoy our experience! A must try!“
“So good we went twice! The police patrol told us about this great brunch spot. Wasn't fancy but there was a line which told me it was probably going to be awesome....it was. Breakfast was enormous and our server Nora was just the sweetest and took excellent care of us both times in. They have bottomless bloody Mary's for cheap and delicious mimosas! Gotta try this great breakfast stop!“
“Celebrated my cousin’s birthday here with dinner and drinks on the rooftop this past weekend. We had an amazing time! Our reservation was for 530 but we arrived about a half hour earlier and were allowed to wait in the seating area/lounge which was connected to the hotel’s bar (located in the Pontchatrain Hotel). I absolutely loved the decor because it was a concept that was welcoming, nostalgic, and upscale. Whoever designed the space is a genius. There are plenty of Instagram worthy areas to take pictures and the menu was outstanding. My cousins and I each ordered a different dish where we took turns sampling plates. There were 6 of us and we ordered the pork cheeks, fish in a bag (flounder), crawfish risotto, broccolini, braised pork ribs, and cauliflower soup. I also ordered the “hibis-kiss” drink and a lemon drop martini. We lounged around a bit before the waitress told us about the rooftop bar “Hot Tin Roof.” All on the same hotel with a beautiful view of the NOLA skyline. The hotel is located on the RTA line and we took streetcar 12 from Canal street to Josephine and St. Charles. This was a perfect way to see more of the city and embrace the culture.“
“So happy we had the opportunity to visit Dakar on a recent trip to New Orleans. The staff is so kind and welcoming, they were very accommodating when part of our party was late due to a flight delay. The meal starts with table side hand washing, a traditional way to welcome guests to the home. Then onto smaller bites; palm oil buns, fried cassava with crab and a lovely tea topped with mint foam. Favorites from the larger plates were gulf shrimp and fonyo, and a stew with beans, palm oil and lobster. Mid-way through the meal our hosts explained the significance of the dishes and their roots in Senegalese culture. A unique and delicious experience!“
“Fantastic Sunday Jazz Brunch. Great food, Attentive service. Nice atmosphere. I started with a bloody mark. Delicious and affordable. I ordered the turtle soup, which was flavorful. I hadn't eaten it before. The egg hash was excellent. My wife ordered the mushroom soup and loved it. The po-boy with egg was good but salty. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Music was enjoyable. And the location off Jackson Square was great.“
“I love Lil Dizzy’s food! The gumbo is like no other. The crawfish bisque is absolutely amazing. The fried chicken is just like my grandma’s. OMG I can go on and on, the Mac and sweet potatoes, potato salad, and so much more! You have to experience this place for yourself.“
“Completely exceptional dining experience. I am so glad we found this little gem. The menu is set daily, based on what is fresh. And it is made to perfection. Our server, Rene, was extremely kind, and engaging. I truly didn’t expect such a good experience, considering the atmosphere - candidly it’s very ~meh~. But I considered that part of its charm. Also, the prices are totally fair and reasonable. Don’t sleep on this place. It’s so so so good.“
“This would be five stars if there hadn’t been a couple of slipups as the food and atmosphere were great and the servers were both friendly and knowledgeable about the food. However one side dish never appeared (but didn’t show up on the check) and we were assured that they knew how to prepare an Irish coffee but this was not the case - it wasn’t even close to the real thing.We would also have appreciated seeing a few moderately priced bottles of wine on the list, i.e. in the $35-50 range.But still a very enjoyable meal.“
“We love NOLA. Visit couple times a year but usually don't get a chance to go far from the Quarter. We had an opportunity to visit this place when a friend, who is a local, brought us, his suggestion. I'm so glad he did. Food was amazing. Great little bar with fun vibe.“
“It’s was a belated birthday dinner, and it was well worth the wait. Food was scrumptious, our waitress was full of personality. Kitchen was busy, but gave us time to breathe between courses. The white chocolate bread pudding was excellent and large enough for 3 of us to share. Thanks for such a delicious meal … until next time …“
“We had an amazing experience ! We got into NOLA later than expected and we’re starving. We had walked around and a lot of places were closing. Liz was outside treated us in the most friendly manner and we got a table right away. My 5 year old was already freaked out by bourbon street and was being stubborn. They made a grilled cheese especially for her and got her feeling better. The food was amazing and the service and hospitality were impeccable! I highly recommend pasta, gumbo, or the sandwiches. It is a bit pricey but your taste buds will thank you and Liz will tell you anything you need to know about visiting the city, and make you feel like family. Oh and did I mention homemade biscuits and to die for French bread?“
“We loved this place so much while vacationing in New Orleans that we went 2 nights in a row! The Blue Bacon Fries are seriously addicting! The blackened shrimp Alfredo was so good I ate every bite and it was a large portion. It's a must!“
“This was a very unique restaurant. The menu is small but I imagine everything is delicious. We ordered the mystery board which was a unique meat charcuterie board containing liver mousse, chicken hearts, boudin ball, head cheese, and more. The entrees were huge, definitely large enough to share. We ordered the lamb, venison, chicken, and pork chop. All were delicious! The server made great recommendations.“
“If you’re in New Orleans and craving a classic Southern brunch, you can’t go wrong with the smothered shrimp and grits at Porche Cafe. Their dish is a delightful symphony of flavors, featuring succulent Gulf shrimp atop creamy, stone-ground grits. It’s a dish that truly embodies the spirit of New Orleans cuisine—comforting, rich, and utterly delicious. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Porche Cafe's shrimp and grits are a must-try for an authentic taste of the city's culinary heritage. .“
“Fantastic evening at an institution. Food was top tier from the French 75s through to the baked Alaska dessert. Crab cake / Shrimp Arnaud starters were solid whilst the mains (veal medallions in a mushrooom sauce / quail in a strawberry gaatrique) were exceptional. Service was top tier with a special shoutout to Travis who made our evening.“
“Really loved our experience. Appreciated the organized hustle and bustle everywhere. Beautiful and tasty dishes all around. Get the turtle soup and soufflé. Staff was awesome. Special shoutout to Ashly for being on top of everything with drink recommendations, not to mention running down my purse when I left it behind.“
“New Orleans is known for its fantastic food scene, but let me tell you, I stumbled upon a restaurant that truly blew my mind. The dish that stole my heart was the cajun penne pasta - packed with juicy chicken and spicy sausage, smothered in a mouthwatering cajun sauce that left me wanting more even days later. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this culinary experience!“
“This is a hidden gem. I love the oysters, St. John and the shrimp remoulade appetizers. The appetizers are always on point. I have not tried every entrée, but the ones I have had don’t compare to the appetizers. The shrimp and grits is pretty good.“
“All of my senses were OVERWHELMED with pleasure at Criollo's Jazz Brunch! The service and food was superb Michelin level quality. The live jazz band kept me entertained as I was coursed out. The chef elevated the fried green tomatoes and chicken biscuit to an award winning level. The chicken biscuit was smothered in jalapeño's, scallions and the best rue I have ever tasted so I sent my compliments to the chef. Every delectable bite forced my eyes shut so I could deeply enjoy the freshness, flavor and texture. While I was enjoying coffee the chef sent complimentary Rosemary & Lemon Custard Madeline's. It was an innovative way to approach this classic pastry. My only critique is the custard on top was so good I wanted more. Very light, fresh, and balanced melody of flavors. The consistency was reminiscent of a fusion between a scone and puff pastry. You can tell the French invited fries by how well the fries here complimented every dish. It was such a phenomenal experience, I found myself making reservations for the next day halfway through brunch and I am happy to say the food, service and entertainment are consistently great here. The fancy French atmosphere at Hotel Monteleone was fit for a Queen and the bathroom attendant cleaned the stall prior to each guests use. This is a must try spot in The French Quarter.“
“Juan's Flying Burrito exceeded my expectations, even with a DoorDash order. The queso was absolutely phenomenal, earning its spot as a must-try item. Additionally, the Build Your Own bowl was both delicious and incredibly filling—I couldn't even finish it! I highly recommend Juan's Flying Burrito for anyone craving tasty and satisfying Mexican food.“
“I contracted with Ralph's for a rehersal dinner for 50 people. Julie was my contact and she is amazing. I am a planner by nature but she was totally awesome. She walked us through the menu and space and the night was magical. She is attentive to detail, organized, pleasant to work with, and thought of things I needed based on the guest list. An example, I had one child's dinner and she called to see if that child required a high chair. It was those little things that she caught that made the event a night to remember. The staff on duty that night were also A+. They were exrremely attentive to all our guests needs. We had guests from 7 different states from CA to AK and they were blown away by the balcony bar, the views, and the entire event. It made me so proud to put our southern hospitality on display. I highly recommend Julie and Ralphs for your party needs.“
“Amazing experience even at the bar. Great spirits selection, knowledgeable bar tenders that care, and amazing food. The BBQ shrimp was delicious yet simple. The chicory Manhattan was sweet, decadent, and savory. The barrel proof Weller was oaky, sweet, and hot. The traditional punch was sever with pizzaz and had neutral Asian flavors. Well worth the expense! Sean was a great bartender that walked us through our option and had great attention to detail!“
“We came at 4, which is when they open. Perfect, no one was hardly there. Then, out of nowhere. A family of 10 with 8 kids all under the age of 11 was so loud and had no home training the adults didn't seem to mind either. Not to mention, the kids were all girls. Business is Business. I would say wayy too kid friendly of a “
“Hands down the best Po Boy of all of NOLA! Guy's is always on the itinerary when we are in town. Their Po Boys are always over stuffed, perfectly seasoned and fresh. Bread is crispy yet soft. Lines can be very long and seated is limited, recommend going right when they open or outside of peak lunch hours.“
“Possibly - and I am not exaggerating - the best meal of my life, still dreaming about it the next day.You know it’s good when their “bread starter” is perfectly baked, garlic butter smothered corn bread. Atmosphere was so cool, food was INCREDIBLE, and service was top-tier (Doug was on POINT with all of his recommendations). Started with the grilled alligator, alligator & shrimp cheesecake (a must-order) and crab stuffed shrimp to die for. Then the crawfish étouffée and eggplant pirogue for mains - cannot recommend both enough. And the sides are amazing too. We had red beans and rice, smothered cabbage, spiced corn, and the most mouthwatering smashed sweet potatoes you’ve ever had. He was also kind enough to serve a bit of spinach salad between courses so we got our greens in ? And THEN he served us an unreal combo plate with bread pudding with caramel drizzle and the most divine crème brûlée you can imagine. And can’t forget the fresh watermelon mojito and hurricane-esque cocktails.I swear I’m shocked this place isn’t on every NOLA food list. also 100000% worth the Uber from French Quarter! 10-10 would fly back down from NYC just for this place ??“
“Drinks are great and very clean tasting. Bottomless vodka drinks for $20 11a-3p well worth it! Crawfish and and cheese- creamy cheesy goodness, blackberry ribs- fall off the bone melt in your mouth, pork skewers melt in your mouth amazing flavor, fried pickles-light and crunchy not greasy very good with poblano dipping sauce. Definitely a stop in New Orleans if you looking for something to eat and drink this is the place to go!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options“
“Open-air, live jazz, authentic creole food, and mouth-watering cocktails. What more could you ask for?! I ordered the half Muffaletta and could only eat half of the half. A whole muffaletta is the size of your head, so order smart! I took my leftovers home, stored them in the fridge for three days, and when I ate them, they were still delicious! The fried alligator and dipping sauce was also delicious.“
“Quintessential New Orleans on a residential strip of Canal Street. Casual, huge portions, family atmosphere. Big groups go to a plain dining room, but smaller parties sit in the big, interestingly decorated main salon. Can get loud after 7. Daquan (sic) was excellent.“
“While in NOLA we always stop here and are always happy with the food, service and atmosphere in general. It’s enough away from the Bourbon atmosphere but close enough at the same, if you have a preference. It was clean, fast and friendly. All good!“
“Oooooo weeeee! This is where it's at. Fresh seafood and they get you in and out very quickly. Are they going to ask how your day is? No. But they operate like a well oiled machine and make sure your order is correct and fresh. The food is so good it hurts. Great flavor. Spicy! We had crawfish, crabs, and shrimp. The seafood itself is gluten free. I avoided the prepared dishes to be safe. I liked the boiled potatoes and corn. I did not like the boiled turkey wing. Great local place.“
“After walking for hours, I chilled at the bar. First up, quenched my thirst with the Frozen Pomagranite Mojito. Worth the brain freeze. I had the Superior Oysters and the crawfish beignets. Excellent! Pricey, but seafood always is. Bartender very attentive.“
“I'm here from out of town for a conference amd needed a Lil hair of the dog this morning so I asked the Vallet at the Marriott who is close by that has great Bloody Marys...they said Daisy Dukes. So here I am waiting on my coworker and they've got buy 1 get 1 free bloody Mary's and they are fantastic. My waiters name is Philip and he's so kind and a wonderful waiter!!!“
“I was by myself, on a Saturday evening, and walked in without a reservation. They were able to sit me almost immediately, and super close to the live jazz band.Oh it was awesome!! I didn't want to ever leave!I had the gumbo and the fried oysters. They were absolutely delicious!! The service was spectacular. I felt taken care of and had such a great time. I atmosphere was perfect!You've got to try this place!!“
“An exceptional bar in a city full of bars. The Paris Safari decor theme makes for a cozy vibe. The varied cocktail list has many New Orleans classics that are made expertly. We loved the Brandy Crusta, Arnaud’s Special and the Bobby Oakes. We also enjoyed the tasty gougeres and the deviled eggs from the bar bites menu. Service was excellent.“
“Saw the excellent reviews so we gave it a try. What a great decision. Ordered for 5 people(2 kids) and everyone was beyond satisfied. Service was top notch as well. I would dare say this is a little hidden gem. Im sorry it took so long to try this place. It won’t take long for me to return.“
“My friend and I experienced the Chloe for lunch last week 10/12/23 and it was absolutely the best lunch from start to end I have ever had. The goat cheese, pepper and garlic starter is so full of flavor I can’t even describe how happy it made my taste buds. Every bite of food I had was simply perfection. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful in their recommendations. I honestly am planning another weekend trip simply to dine here again. This is a MUST eat while in town. Thank you all for this memorable experience.“
“A wonderful experience in the place of experience’s. If your coming to Bourbon Street, make this a must do on your list. My Sazerac was spot on, and the food was authentic and very flavorful. Full on the food or not, you will be amiss if you don’t try the bread pudding. I also Don’t want to forget to mention the great service and the very friendly staff as well, they really made our first time visit to New Orleans a great one. Just wow!!“
“Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress barely stopped by to check on us. The food was fantastic. The charbroiled oysters were plump and meaty. The gumbo and coleslaw were both very flavorful. And the fried fish dinner was also fantastic. Is the service was anywhere near the quality of the food I would recommend 100%.“
“Daisy Dukes Kenner (can't speak about other locations) was a great experience. Food served up fresh and hot...and delicious! We had the hot sausage po-boy and greens! The greens were so well seasoned and the sausage and bread tasted great and authentic (po-boy French roll)! I added the Daisy Dukes sauce to my po-boy (I'm saucy) and it took it to the next level!Between 3-4, you might have the place to yourself. But don't let the absence of a crowd fool you!“
“This place was amazing. Go here! Food is fire, customer service is 10 stars... PoBoy was to die for especially the spicy version. Gumbo was tasty! My husband loved the Catfish. I only wish i went back for another time while on our trip. Cool Vibes here very welcoming, they offer many hot sauces & the best part is the Have the red strawberry crème soda! This is what i liked and more. The portions were big & overall a great place to eat & go to.“
“Stopped here to check out the food with our city pass and this food did make it worth it. One thing we didn't read in the details is that this is a 21+ place, so my spouse and I had to swap around to get our order. My spouse had the alligator sandwhich, which he said was amazing, I got the oysters, which were amazing! Check this place out!“
“Our server, Michael was delightful. He was very welcoming, knowledgeable and patient with accommodating our dietary restrictions. We were his last table of the night, but he maintained exceptional service. The scallops were to die for and a dish you must try!!! Thanks for an amazing experience !!!“
“Sometimes you wonder about these viral places, and I can confirm they’ve earned every bit of those glowing reviews. The fried pickles appetizer, so were the PoBoys. Can’t remember the last time I’ve had shrimp that good. And the fried pickles were bursting with flavor. Service is awesome, people are friendly.“
“Have been wanting to try this place for a long time especially considering their mission. Their hours of operation are a little difficult for the 9-5 time, but finally made it out. Everything was fresh to order. Staff were friendly. They have indoor seating, parking is street parking. The building vibe is loft style, with high ceilings which made the place feel spacious. It was a busy time however we were seated quickly. I think they put a lot of detail into the place. Really enjoyed the fried turkey necks and the sweet potato fries. Would go back for those.“
“We ordered two poboys from here. The who dat poboy was really good, as well as the catfish poboy. The first one, though, was top-notch. We also got an order of fried ochre and boudin balls. The boudin balls were delicious, too. To top it off, we ordered ice cream.“
“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 probably would have never known this place existed if it wasn’t for my mom suggesting it. The food was delicious! All the best flavors, fresh tasting Nola ingredients! we even sat outside since it was a nice day. Definitely suggest stopping in for a bite. The crawfish pie was AMAZING!“
“Let me start by saying the guy who greeted me was extremely rude. He was rude to both me & the bar tender. Very pushy & bossy. He gave me Karen vibes lol. The food: I ordered the Crawfish Etoufee with a side of potato salad. Let me start by saying it does have more of a tomato base , so if that's not your thing, this is not for you. I, on the other hand, don't mind a tomato based etoufee. It was good. The potato salad, on the other hand, I was not a fan of. It's hard to really explain it, but it was on the drier side and needed some seasonings, more mayo, idk something though. The crab cakes & boudin balls were ok. My mom loved them so much. She said they're a 10/10. I had them the next day (re-heated) and I wasn't too excited about them. They have an aftertaste. I can't really explain it, but they're just not for me. I still recommend them, as I didn't try them fresh. Lastly, my favorite part! The BREAD PUDDING!! This was the most amazing bread pudding that I've had in a long time. I travel all over & try bread puddings. This 100% was the best. My only complaint is... the slice just wasn't big enough Also, the guy that was bar tending, made the best sweet & sour I've ever had. The most perfect balance of alcohol & mix.“
“Our weekly dinner krewe met here for dinner and everyone raved about the food! We have a diverse group, with some more picky than others, and no one complained...only compliments! The portions were substantial, the food was delicious and the service was incredible! We will definitely return in the near future!!!“
