“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.“

“My husband and I went here today for dinner around 6:30pm. There wasn’t many people, the old school music selection was great, and our server was really nice. We both got the half chicken and subbed our sides to okra and macncheese and greens and macncheese. We didn’t wait long for our food and it was HOT and DELICIOUS when it finally arrived. The chicken had a great flavor as well as the sides. The macncheese is creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be back!“

Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.“

“My wife and I had a late evening hunger that needed to be craved. We had a taste for chicken, and Gus was our second option. They stayed open at a great time to accommodate our hunger. Although we had a bit of a wait to sit down( there was a party of 28 people) so we were patient. The chicken was hot and fresh. Crisp skin, though I can't say that it was flavorful. It had a late kick of spice to it but the spice wasn't overwhelming. I want to try the tenders on my next outing and the greens.“

“Absolutely love this place. Finest quality food, freshly prepared to order. This is a mom and pop neighborhood gem with really good homemade food. The chicken parmesan is better than ANY fine Italian restaurant. Even the turkey poboy is slices of REAL turkey, not the thin, pressed turkey like most. The roast beef poboy is homemade and flavorful. Now my go to spot. You gotta try this hidden gem. No wonder they've been around for years!“

“This was our second time coming here! The alligator and etouffee dogs were really yummy and unique! Better than any normal hot dog. The etouffee fries were a bit too liquidy, and they could’ve put more meat, but we still enjoyed the concept. It wasn’t worth the $7, but it’s definitely something worth trying once.“

“The Chamber of Horrors is my absolute favorite sandwich ever! It's just a cold sandwich stacked with sliced meats and cheese and lettuce, tomato, etc. but it strikes a chord with me. Every time I go I tell myself to try something different but most times I wind up getting one. And a side of fries. I have tried other things and have never found anything to complain about. Koz's is a great example of the neighborhood restaurants that are scattered throughout New Orleans and the area. Place has been there forever. The family is running the business. He has passed away, but Koz himself was running the cash register every time I went there. Same crowd of regulars and locals is in there every day. A wide variety of menu items, daily specials, plate lunches, po-boys, fried seafood, and all that. Not all of it is good, but for the most part it is. Downsides - the place is old so it is a little dark and dingy. It gets crowded at times and then the service gets slow. The parking is scarce around but you can usually find a spot. Give them a shot. This is one place that I keep going back to. (If I want a Chamber of Horrors I do!)“

“Food is always on point but options are more limited later in the evening because everything is made fresh. In our most recent visit, the Mac & Cheese and Burger came out cold and when we requested it to be fresh, they just put the food under a heater and brought it back telling us to be careful because the plate was hot. It was the same plate of food just heated up. The server had no problem when we said we didn't want it and requested it to be taken off the bill. Still a positive experience but one person didn't get to eat. Will go back but earlier instead of an hour before closing.“
