I love this place!!! I visit at least once a year when I'm in town visiting family. Tessie's in a quite location/ neighborhood with friendly servers, cozy atmosphere. High recommended for those looking to leave the tourist traps in the city:)IYKYK;).
PLEASE season your chicken! I would rate lower if this wasn't a family-run business but I hate to do that to small businesses. But it just isn't fair to have unseasoned chicken with zero flavor whatsoever. C'mon now, this is New Orleans!The service was good and the atmosphere was actually pretty nice. But the food could use major improvement. Bread wasn't very fresh. Please try harder.
Good to have a place around the neighborhood with some decent gumbo. Their Turkey and Sausage Gumbo is always good. Most places just do a seafood gumbo, but it's nice to find a place that makes the kind of gumbo that my mom always made!
