“First note... Make an appointment or be prepared to wait. So we showed up without a appointment at the peach of bruch so we waited about 45 minutes maybe close to an hour. It was worth it . We had French toast bites, shrimp and grits, mimosas flights, bloody Mary with bacon. Everything tasted amazing. The service was quick and the host nice.“
“If you’re in New Orleans and craving a classic Southern brunch, you can’t go wrong with the smothered shrimp and grits at Porche Cafe. Their dish is a delightful symphony of flavors, featuring succulent Gulf shrimp atop creamy, stone-ground grits. It’s a dish that truly embodies the spirit of New Orleans cuisine—comforting, rich, and utterly delicious. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Porche Cafe's shrimp and grits are a must-try for an authentic taste of the city's culinary heritage. .“
“We went yesterday and the wait was 2 hours. Got there a little earlier today and we got in. I’ve eaten at the Uptown location and was so happy they opened up another one that’s closer. It was my daughter’s first time and she said the food is so good and understands why there is a wait.“

“I don’t take my 11 month old out to eat often but they made it soo easy for us. They were quick in getting his food to us and even though I offered, they wouldn’t let us clean up after him. The buser even came over to interact with our kiddo. It was a really nice experience and made taking him out very enjoyable.“

“The food is soooooo good. The best brunch menu in Nola. Tried most things and it always slaps. Service is great.-1 for no reservations and long waits. I have no idea why they don’t give both the overworked hosts and customers a break by having a more streamlined res/waitlist system. Attempting Bearcat on the weekend is a competitive sport.Is it a reverse psychology thing? Like knowing you probably won’t get in so you want it even more? Having waited in the sun for an hour so the mimosas are extra refreshing? Lmk!“

“I recently went to Another Broken Egg for the first time and Jenny was our server. She was amazing and really made my first visit special. She took her time with us, never making us feel rushed, and had some great suggestions from the menu. Everything she recommended turned out to be delicious, and it's safe to say she knows her stuff.Jenny's service went above and beyond, making our meal not just about great food, but a really enjoyable experience. It's because of her that I'll definitely be coming back to the restaurant. It's clear she's a great asset to the Another Broken Egg team, and anyone who gets to have Jenny as their server is in for a treat.“
“We went in Sunday morning and we were limited on time. Haley was super great and got us out quickly. So we went back on Monday and had a great time. Haley was our waitress again, I can’t say enough about her, when you go to the Red Slipper ask for her.Now for the food. The beignets come out fresh out of the fryer and are so good, this is one that you shouldn’t pass up. The grits and cheese are delicious, one of the best grits I’ve had. (I grew up in north East Tennessee eating grits)Biscuits and gravy, what can be said about this classic? Well you can say freshly baked biscuits smothered in sausage gravy, that will make you wish you could have them everyday. The bacon is perfectly cooked and the applewood smoke is just the right amount.The fried green tomatoes are cut to the perfect thickness and the cornbread coating is just the right thickness, then fried to perfection.I can’t finish this without mentioning the coffee, they have a blend made just for the Red Slipper and it is so good.As you can tell I’m very impressed with this place and you will be too. Between the staff and the food this place will become one of your favorite restaurants.“
“Best place for breakfast! Visited on multiple days of our trip. Delicious, homemade from scratch, creative and healthy options. The Interior decor is bright, uplifting and happy. Love the very comfortable green chairs. (not your standard wobbly wood seating). The service is outstanding: efficient and friendly.“
“Breakfast with my Momma at Monty's on the Square in New Orleans was an absolute treat! We savored delicious breakfast foods while sipping on refreshing mimosas and indulging in flavorful Bloody Marys. The best part? Our prime spot allowed us to watch the lively crowd on Decatur Street. The ambiance was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the food was simply divine. Monty's is definitely a must-visit for a delightful breakfast experience in the heart of New Orleans!-Marisa Balletti-Lavoie“
“Good breakfast restaurant but not the best. A lot of options both- in vegetarian and seafood. Drinks are nice, Irish coffee has a good bourbon punch. Not a lot of wait time even on the weekends. You get to pick sitting inside or outside. Parking is available on the streets right in front. Wheelchair accessible.Food: 3.5/5Ambiance: 3.5/5Value for “
“The food was so good. We visited on the last day of our vacation to have breakfast on our way out. There was no wait for a table and we were able to sit outside under the beautiful trees. Everyone was very nice but the service was a little slow. It took about two hours to do breakfast there and we are fast eaters. We also had to ask for things like syrup, creamer, sugar and refills a few times before they were delivered. We would still go back because the food was amazing.“
“We were visiting New Orleans from the uk, this cafe came highly recommended to us from our Air B&B owners just down the road. We highly recommend this cafe, the food is amazing the vanilla iced coffee came recommended from Jack our server, its supper tasty and we were instantly hooked, Jack was a absolute star, a true asset to the restaurant, thank to all staff who made our visit a fantastic experience,“
