The menu offers a variety of dishes, with the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo being a standout favorite.

The NOLA BBQ Shrimp, Baked Half Quail, and Classic New Orleans Beignets are also highly recommended.

For breakfast, the Bagel and Lox is a satisfying option. The Caesar salad, available from the bar bites menu, is fresh and generously sized.

The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, serving up delicious cocktails such as the Grey Goose Lemon Drop (originally listed on the menu as "Lemon Kiss"). While the service can be slow at times, the friendly and empathetic staff make up for it. Austin, in particular, provided excellent recommendations, and the chef’s passion is evident in the food.

The televisions in the bar are muted, making it a suitable place to watch sports while still maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. However, it can get noisy as the night progresses. The restaurant is somewhat hidden with limited outside signage and a dimly lit entrance, so many find it by word of mouth. The lighting is a bit too dim, and noise levels can be high, making it sometimes hard to hear the bartender. There are limited vegetarian options, but the feed green tomato sandwich is a good choice.

Overall, Poydras and Peters offers amazing food, service, and ambiance. Many guests enjoy the experience of having an authentic NOLA meal in a warm and elegant environment, and it remains a favorite for those seeking delicious food and friendly service.
