When we landed in New Orleans, my wife said we needed to get something to eat. So before heading downtown, we decided to look for some special locations in Kenner. We definitely found one. Hurst's is a family owned restaurant that started with humble beginnings. Back in 1939, it began as a chicken shack. Today the family offers chicken and seafood. The whole family was helping out. We had the fried chicken with greens and cornbread. What a great job with the whole meal. Highly recommend checking them out. Being a small family restaurant with a long history and great food makes this a special find for us. Next time we go back to New Orleans, we will be going back. Check them out and decide for yourself.

I am never disappointed!!!This truly a hidden gem of Kenner! Always fresh,good and on time, and my order is always right. I never have to check the bag before I leave. I wait for the favorite days to get their specials. Portions are nice and food is perfectly seasoned! I just wish they fix the atmosphere. The restaurant looks like it's back in the 70s. I wish they get an interior decorater. The money they make in the restaurant on average,they could afford to fix the place up.. It looks like a dump from the outside and inside. But... Again the food is great!!!

Delicious, affordable food served up by friendly staff at a great little Mom and Pop restaurant. Daily changing specials means there's always something for everyone. Fried chicken and the various options for red beans and rice are my go to. This place should definitely be on your list when coming & going from the airport.

Parking: The parking lot sometimes gets full, but there are plenty of options on the street behind.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant for sure.

They noted this place as cash only. Be prepared for a 30 minute wait as they prepare your order fresh. The red beans and rice were perfectly seasoned. Super awesome flavor. The chicken was juicy with a great crust. The menu has lots to choose from, so next time, I'll dine in. Get there early as they were out of potato salad, mac & cheese, and greens. Skip the fried and I was not a fan of the cornbread. I think the food would taste better if eaten at the restaurant. If you are looking for an authentic atmosphere, good customer service, and good eats, then this place is definitely worth a try.

Phenomenal homemade food. The fried chicken was moist and the breading was so flavorful. It was fried after we ordered. The red beans and rice were outstanding.
The young lady who took our order was so friendly and has a great smile. I think she mentioned it was her family's resteraunt. She explained the whole menu to us. This was a great start to our trip after landing in New Orleans.

Hurst had been my go to place for years in the past. Some years had passed since I visited them up until recently.. Let me tell yall,honestly,the last 3 visits all of my food was top notch. The first time I had the shrimp poboy,the second time the red beans w/fried pork chop,and the third time smothered pork chops w/rice gravy and corn bread..I highly recommend this place..I may go today and probably more often since I rarely cook these days..Best soul food in Kenner since been

OH MY GOODNESS. You could go to a 5 star soul food restaurant and never have food this amazingly flavorful and perfectly cooked. Beyond excellent. Amazing!!!! We stopped after a swamp tour and were clearly looking like tourists, and the service was some of the best I have ever had - one of the ladies (maybe the owner) came and told us how to eat everything, brought extra gravy and sauces to try, turned down the fan to make us more comfortable, and just was the nicest and sweetest person you could imagine. Don't miss this one!!!! Get the greens they are heaven!! My sister had a fried fish po boy and I don't even like fried fish or po boys and I devoured the last few bites when she got too full. So fantastic!!
