My first time brunching in New Orleans and I’m glad it was at the beautiful location Chapter IV. This spot is walking distance from the Saints football stadium and Pelicans basketball stadium which is perfect for people who want to indulge in good food and sports.
When we walked in we were greeted by manager Erin who was so nice and felt like a friend from home. The interior was lively, with a bar and tv for those who want to watch the games.
Our waiter Jena was very helpful and gave us the best recommendations. My husband and I loved her! We ordered the following: Brunch champagne mimosas special, Oyster Rockefeller, Crab fried rice, Crab cake, Gumbo, Bbq shrimp omelette, Seafood pasta, Bread pudding. Every single thing was so full of flavor and delicious. The drinks were hitting, and the gumbo and bbq shrimp omelette were my fave! But the very best thing on the menu was the bread pudding…OMG my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Come to find out this Black owned establishment is the son of Dooky Chase restaurant. It’s great to see how much African American culture is celebrated here on the walls with the beautiful pictures. I can’t wait to come back and also I hope to check out the original Dooky Chase restaurant one day!
I had oysters 10 million ways since I was a kid but never on a bed of spinach with a pickled jalapeno on top. I'm going to go back and just get three orders of that for dinner. The catfish with the corn machoux with crawfish and andouille on top of it was a very unique and creative combination served on top of perfectly cooked and seasoned grits. We also had the appetizer with the three Asian ribs and three Asian wings which was perfect because I like getting a variety.

I had a great time at Chapter IV this morning. I enjoyed the company of family in a clean attractive environment with excellent food and service to match. The artwork is original and contemporary. I had the grilled redfish on crab rice. Loved it! The filet was large and the crab rice was generously portioned as well. I'm looking forward to returning and trying something else from the menu!

This place came highly recommended by multiple locals so I was very excited to try it. I was unfortunately highly underwhelmed. The food was subpar at best. My girl and I ordered three appetizers, she sent back the gumbo because it tasted off. My wings and ribs tasted dry and reheated, and the bbq shrimp sauce base was not pleasant. I did like my entree but food did not justify the price. Our waitress was lovely but seemed spread thin. I saw at least four workers but she was the only server. We waited a pretty good while to be addressed when we sat and overall because she seemed to be serving the whole restaurant it took a while for her to check in. Not her fault at all I think restaurants should always have multiple waitresses during any weekend brunch. Maybe today was an off day. Would I come back or recommend this place to anyone? No

The hostess told us they only had bar seating but they made a way to accommodate us with a table ,The waitress was very attentive, the atmosphere was very nice but the food was not good . The pancakes taste more of a funnel cake than a pancake. The fried chicken was so bland not an inch of seasoning.

I visited Chapter IV for their Saturday brunch. I ordered the Oyster Rockefeller and the Grilled Redfish.
The Oyster Rockefeller came with crispy fried oysters, creamed spinach, pickled red onions and jalapeños. The dish needed a bit of salt but was otherwise great!
The Grilled Redfish came with crab fried rice and grilled zucchini/squash. The fish was cooked to perfection. The crab fried rice offered a nice contrast in texture to the flaky fish. The grilled vegetables were simple but nice.

We were looking for a spot close to the Superdome to get some authentic New Orleans cuisine. Staff was great and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.
Recommended dishes: Fish \u0026 Grits, Grilled Redfish
We visit Chapter IV before every Saints home game, mainly because the food is so much better than the Superdome (fried chicken sammich is the best on the city), but also because the staff is just so friendly, and good at what they do. Highly recommended!

Lovely location with a clean modern feel. Location are good with some unique holiday creations. But the food...WOW grits so creamy they are other worldly. Red fish is seasoned to perfection and a must have. For something different, try the crab fried rice. Don't miss the gumbo either. Food comes out hot and fresh without a long wait. We had the bread pudding and the apple cobbler for dessert. Both were excellent and relied on the flavors and not the sugar. The prices were very reasonable and the food quality outstanding.

Fried Oysters were ok but mostly flavorless. Shrimp omelette had no seasoning at all and barely anything in it! Was lukewarm with only 3 pieces of shrimp and a tiny sprinkle of cheese. It was mainly just a bunch of tasteless egg. Service was decent. Not a place I’d go back too
