“Classic home cooking in the parish...but this place is hard to beat!! I ordered the Friday special--shrimp pasta with 2 big catfish filets, corn and garlic bread. That meal was fire!!! And plenty enough to share! The wife had a cup of gumbo(it was more like a bowl!) that was FULL of chicken and sausage!! The employees were super friendly and the prices were very fair. Don't sleep on this place.“

“The fancy drinks 🍹 are titillating and the appetizers are fantastic. However, the entrees were not impressive. The chicken was served undercooked and the shrimp dish was overcooked and very greasy. Ambiance is what you pay for here and the delicate mix of intoxicating flavors in their cocktails! Staff is very friendly!“

“Best smoked brisket I’ve tasted in my life!! Cochin King is my new BBQ place!“

“Delicious dog! 🤤 And the chicken tenders for my daughter were fresh.“

“I was there on Sunday 10-12 from out of town. The food, ambience and people were fantastic. Everything was hot and flavorful as I went as soon as they opened. The singer had a great voice as he was moving around singing to various tables. I had a great time. I did favor the sweet potato casserole as it was “fire”. I will return whenever I visit New Orleans again. 👍🏽👍🏽“

“Oysters and pita/crab dip were delicious! Service was a little rough. My husband got his oysters before I got my meal- he had that and his drink finished before I received my food. We tried to be patient because they were somewhat busy, but watched our server take off her apron and leave before ever coming back to our table after drop off. We had 2 other waiters and what looked like management walk by several times, and even though I tried to get their attention, never looked our way or stopped. Finally made eye contact with a gal working closer to the front who came over and was very sweet, apologizing as our waitress had just quit. She brought out my food that'd been sitting there for quite a while, so the muffalettas weren't great, coleslaw warm. She never came back or reassigned someone to us, no one checked on us for drink refills, etc. Had to flag her down to place another food and drink order, again because no one else was helping us. After that, zero service, no one stopped at our table to check on us, and nothing 'taken care of' for the mishap. We came at a time where we were able to see the end of one band and start of a new- both fantastic, so that was good. Would recommend based on food and music, maybe not so much service.“

“I booked a private party for 25 people for my dad’s 90th birthday. Ms Carol Gales was so easy to deal with and very helpful. On the night of the event everything was as promised.

“The second my husband and I walked in this past Sunday, we were greeted. Walking in to a welcoming environment is a feeling that makes you feel like family. They had great customer service, were friendly, and the food was amazing. They definitely had the package deal. Anybody can serve food, but being able to serve food, have good customer service, and have the food to taste great is hard to come across. I can see them going far. This restaurant future is very bright.“

“picked up a to-go order, slight issue with order coming through. get there, no order’s been put in. They apologize, and throw in free french fries. Something about my order came through as 2 burgers. We come back 20 minutes later. Not only do they bring out my food TO me but they also threw in the 2 burgers that the mix up came through as for free! Ray was the gentleman who assisted me, couldn’t have been more pleasant. 10/10 choice for dinner tonight on service alone“

“Absolutely OBSESSED with this place — I honestly can’t say enough good things! From the moment I walked in, everything was chef’s kiss perfection. The atmosphere? Immaculate. The staff? Incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to love what they do. Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated, like they’ve truly mastered the art of making people feel welcome and taken care of. And the food? Let me just say — the red beans and fried fish deserve their own standing ovation. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to absolute perfection, and full of flavor that hits all the soul food notes. I’m still thinking about it days later. It’s the kind of plate that makes you close your eyes with the first bite and forget about everything else. Five stars isn’t enough. If you’re on the fence — GO. This place is an absolute gem and then some.“

“Truly incredible dining experience! The service is attentive, friendly, and knowledge. The restaurant is in an old home which is beautiful and charming. The food was perfectly seasoned and delicious - every bite. The portions are small but we were certainly full by the end of our meal. The shallot tart is a must try: Crispy pastry, perfectly sweet shallots, topped with creme fraiche and dill. I could eat that every day. The gumbo comes with pickled okra & potato salad. The lamb tagliatelle was al dente and perfect - so flavorful. The grouper was beautifully cooked and seasoned. The chocolate cake was moist and delicious. I would recommend to anyone.“

“Dined in, ordered gumbo, crayfish eggrolls, BBQ wings. The gumbo was delicious...a true Nola taste. The crayfish eggroll with a light savory sauce was cooked to perfection and BBQ wings w/ celery sticks were the best. Food was served with a beautiful presentation. This spot is a hidden gem. You have to check it out. We will be back.“
