Legacy Kitchen's Tacklebox

The Bartender was amazing: the Manhattan was on point! The food was awesome. Red Beans and Rice with Sausage was a lunch special and was outstanding.

Fantastic food, fantastic service. The meals are delicious and focus on local dishes and flavors. Katina, our server and bartender, made us feel welcome and comfortable. 5/5 would recommend even if you’re not staying at the hotel.

We had the chargrilled oysters, hamburger and the red snapper. The oysters were outstanding. My buddy had the burger and said it may have been the best he ever had. The gravy fries as an appetizer were a treat. The red snapper was buttery and amazing. The snapper was accompanied by asparagus that was perfectly cooked. The last gem with the snapper was the cornbread. It was life changing. In such close proximity to the Roosevelt, and our short time schedule to get to a concert, it was the seat option. We were really surprised and we will visit here again!

Our server Cat was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and made us feel at home.

I love the music. Do Not change anything!

I felt like I was back at the 5 and dime with my grandparents.

I love this place. Every part of our meal was amazing.

Thank you again to Cat for making us feel welcome.

Absolutely one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We had a reservation for a party of 8, and despite planning ahead, everything went downhill from the moment we sat down. It took over 25 minutes just to get our drinks, and nearly an hour before anyone checked in on us again for refills. When we arrived we were the only table in the establishment.

The food? Completely unacceptable. Most of it was cold, and several items—especially the shrimp—tasted rotten or clearly not fresh. The hush puppies were so over-fried and rock hard they looked like they had been sitting around for days. Out of all 8 meals ordered, the only one anyone could eat was the chicken and waffles. Everything else was either inedible or clearly not safe to serve.

To make matters worse, the manager openly told us he was sick and should be wearing a mask—then proceeded to go into the kitchen. When we brought up the issues with the food and the service, he offered no apology, no explanation, no resolution. Just a repeated “I’ll figure it out,” and then disappeared. It took an additional 30 minutes after multiple requests just to get our check.

As someone with a background in the restaurant industry, I was appalled by the lack of professionalism, concern, and basic hospitality. This place needs serious help—both in the kitchen and in management. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Food came out icy cold. Shrimp tasted so completely off. Hush puppies hard as a brick. Has to ask three times for refills. Saw the waitress maybe 3 times. Forgot to put in three meals so the rest of our party had to sit and watch us eat. The shrimp made my mother throw up. Don’t know who is rating this place so highly considering there’s much better places but never again. Save your money and go somewhere else. There was also a ladder in the restroom making it hard to go to the restroom. Oh I almost forgot the worthless manager. He has no social skills whatsoever. Standing there literally like this emoji 🧍. He said he “don’t mind how I look right now I’m sick and didn’t feel well” to our table before saying anything. No apology or anything. Waitress said not the first person to complain about it. Insanely disappointed .

Legacy Kitchen's Tacklebox is a fine restaurant, with friendly and attentive staff. The waitress was helpful, explaining each dish we asked about. We tried several dishes and they were all good. I think the restaurant wants to appear more upscale and trendy than it actually is, but still overall a perfectly fine place to eat. We would definitely eat here again when in the city.

Great location - just off of Canal St. Although it was relatively empty, it took longer than expected to get our food. They were out of several menu items and/or no one was available to provide the requested item. For example, we ordered a specialty coffee, however we were told that the Barista left for the day. Our server was very friendly and did the best she could. The food was good for the price, but the slow service on an empty day would deter me from returning on a busy day.

We visited this restaurant after seeing it on Open Table and we never heard of it The food was not good and there was a limited selection. The waitress was good and explained the menu options to us very well, but the food was not good. I'm a native New Orleanian so I really expected the food to be more flavorful. This is more of a tourist attraction, than a place for natives. The price of the food didn't match the menu options nor the flavor .

Stayed at the Renaissance and ended up eating there a few times. Food was delicious, especially the sampler and Beignets & gravy. Garrett and Tina were awesome bartender and server.

We were so excited to get together for a great and relaxing lunch. The food, what can I say, but absolutely delicious. All eight of us were so happy with our meals. As for our waitress, Katina, her attention to our needs, smile and personality showed true hospitality.
