Cajun Restaurants near Harvey, LA

“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.“

“That Italian ice was right on time... ❤️❤️❤️“

“Everything was great ‼️ Service was excellent.“

“We are regulars. great customer service, great food, very friendly owner.“

“Polo was our amazing server! Everything was phenomenal to say the least and I absolutely had no room left for dessert but I had to indulge when I heard they had a bread pudding with either vanilla sauce or pecan sauce. We had the pecan!! Thanks guys!

Wheelchair accessibility: There are accessible spots in front of the door along with a ramp.“

“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🥰🥰“

“Great food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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…“

“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!“

“Great food, great mission.“

“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.“

“Do not miss this charming restaurant. It may be on Bourbon St., but don't let that distract you. The food is marvelous and fresh. The service is friendly and attentive, even our drink modifications were embraced with grace and ease. Props to Alexia and Kirby. Thank you.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“A very special meal. Live piano player. Attentive service. Fresh bread. The shrimp etouffee was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Highly impressed by the crunchy fried oysters. A great meal at a very reasonable price. Conveniently located near the convention center“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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