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.

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.

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.

The food was cold & we were one of three tables in the rest. Server wasn't the same for all the other tables so I feel she could have done a better job at being attentive to us.

Great job by all. Very friendly and welcoming. Super knowledgeable bartender, Sam, had me going outside of the box having a drink or two I have never tried before. Zach was gracious and kept us all entertained and we left happy. Had the charbroiled oysters and they were fantastic. The best food, drink and service we've had from a hotel bar. I would recommend even to others not staying at the hotel.

Got in late from the airport, was able to be immediately seated at the bar. Had a Louisiana mule, which was good, served in a beer mug, no copper cups here lol. Had the Gumbo pot and a side of brussel sprouts. Gumbo was good, nice flavor. Brussel sprouts were cut a little thick and whatever they were cooked with (onions maybe) have it a weird texture, not bad just different. Good came out fast, water was refilled multiple times. Only took me 25 minutes to order and eat, which was exactly what I needed to get to bed. The atmosphere is clean, just lacked some of the soul of the city.
