Loved Pythian lots of different options and even though I only had a burger from one place everything sounded great.

One of the amazing food halls in New Orleans, stationed perfectly in the CBD. They have such a variety of booths, from coffee to sandwiches to Asian cuisine to desserts and juices. One of our favorite places to eat here is Eat Well NOLA & 14 Parishes, both of which have their own locations but it's great to have them together! Here is their Pho-Ritto (Pho in a Burrito) and Oxtail plate!!@PhidingTheFam

This place is absolutely worth the visit. It's essentially a food hall - a sort of elevated food court. This modern eaterie features a variety of local food vendors. One could choose from a variety of cuisines - Jamaican, Venezuelan, pizza, fried chicken - and then enjoy it at any one of the tables with your party or even just as a solo love-yourself date. The atmosphere is modern and airy, with plenty of windows and natural light. I went with my local friend who typically relies on me, her over-eager out-of-towner buddy, to drag her to new places in her city. It's located in the CBD, and we didn't have any trouble parking (I suspect we got lucky). I already had my heart set on Willie Mae's fried chicken, but she enjoyed grabbing some arepas for herself and some curried Jamaican dishes for her partner back home. The food is all served in to-go style, but you're more than welcome to eat on site. We actually decided to stop for a couple drinks at the bar. The cocktails are of the $12 - $14 variety, but my Vesper was excellently crafted. And, in true NOLA fashion, I got another cocktail to go. On our return home, we dined and gushed over the food. My local friends are excited to live so near to a place with multiple dining options, so they have a go-to place when they can't agree on a restaurant.

We went as a family of four, and we all loved it. Really great vibe and the food was yum at a reasonable price! I would definitely recommend and will hopefully return again before leaving New Orleans.

Great place for variation or a semi-quick bite before headed into your night/day. We had Lufu, a highly anticipated place I've been wanting to try. It was good and I'd go back to try some of their more popular items. Also had Willie Mae's which lives to its name. Great fried chicken, a little too oily for me, but the flavor and spice is there and the moistness of the chicken cannot be found elsewhere. Lastly La Cocinita's Arepas were okay, nothing exciting.

Lots of great cuisine to choose from. Very clean building with lots of seating!The Pythian market is a wonderful historic building turned into a melting pot of delicious urban fare. We ate there several times on our week long trip to New Orleans, enjoying everything from Jamaican j*** chicken to brick oven pizza.I encourage anyone who loves food or history to stop by and grab a bite while also taking a moment to read the placards that give a hint to the soul of this building.You won't be disappointed.

Nice variety of eateries to select from, also has on site bar! The pizza was decent, Bar 1908 was great for drinks!

Food halls are such a great idea! We all ordered from different vendors. Got a drink from the bar...frozen berry sangria. We were able to hang out & talk for a couple hours without being worried We were holding up a table. Definitely recommend it for parties with different tastes.I ordered from 14parishes. Their food was top notch & the service was stellar!Wife ordered a burger.. it was ok but service was meh & it was $$. I think she ordered wrong ??‍♂️ Friend ordered a calzone & loved it.

There isn’t a lot of options. The customer service is pretty bad too. My mom ate at a Jamaican place and she hated it. However, I got a pizza and it was delicious. I think it was oven bricked. I would come back specifically for that.

I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here along with a few cocktails for a night cap. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I wish I could remember the young lady's name working at Lattes on Loyola. She made an outstanding cup of coffee and remembered my order the next day. The ghetto burger from Origino Ghetto Burger was seasoned to perfection. The meat pizza from Pizza in a Box was so damn good. The sauce was chef's ?. That batter at Willie Mae's...I have no words. I had a great time conversing with Jake (Silky Red)at Bar 1908. The frose was delicious. My hotel was next door, so it was very convenient for a quick bite or coffee fix. Great ambience and great vibes from the people working there.

I love the selection of food in this food hall. 14 parish has amazing j*** chicken and oxtail. My momma's fried chicken wings and waffle are delicious although really pricey for wings. But their red beans and homemade lemon sweet tea is to die for. Willie mae's fried chicken has the crispiest and most flavorly fried chicken ever. They fry the chicken twice so it's like double the crispy. Kais has really great poke bowls. Lot of choices to put in their bowl. So flavorful and good BUT the last five times I've gotten crawfish in the bowl, it was old and dehydrated?. I LOVE crawfish and they have added fresh crawfish a few times when they first opened but I keep rolling the dice and hoping one day they would add fresher crawfish. So i add the crawfish as an extra protein and I'm always dissapointed. Just get their raw if you want a pokebowl. Don't get the crawfish.

Amazing selection of food places- spoilt for choice. We tried the well spiced and comforting J*** Chicken, mac n cheese from 14 Parishes. The chicken tenders from Willie Mae's- super succulent and tasty. Perfectly spiced.

So many choices!! Willie Mae's chicken is always delicious, but if you don't like chicken there are plenty of other places to eat. The bartender is super friendly and they always have great happy hours! I recommend stopping in for an early drink.

As a whole, I'm not impressed. First, the parking is abysmal. I had to park over a block away. Second, half their booths are empty. A lot of fluff like pizza. Their bathroom was empty of toilet paper. However the 14 Parishes Jamaican Restaurant is bomb.com.

A industrial vibe food court with a tasting of some favorites and some new locations. We went for Willie Mae's friend chicken while visiting as one of my friends had seen it on the Food Network. I used to live in NOLA and have eaten the chicken years ago. Chicken was served hot, crispy, and full of flavor. Macroni and cheese was flavorful but the noodles were over cooked. Bar Time Frozen Paloma- I'm not a frozen drink fan but this is made with fresh fruit juice. It did not disappoint, it was fresh and delicious, not very strong so if you just want an afternoon delight this is the drink. Waffle I was greeted when I walked to the counter but no one asked to take my order. The sign said to order online so after I picked what I wanted I tried to do an online order, they chef asked if I had ordered and when I told him no, he had the other woman working take my order. They were both nice and my order was taken quickly. I got the shrimp and grits that comes with cornbread. My wait was short about 15 minutes, the grits were creamy and hot, they put cheese on them which I didn't want but ate it anyway. The shrimp were swimming in a sauce with onions and peppers. It was all hot and tasty, while the shrimp could have a little more flavor without pork these were good. The chef even checked on me later to see how I was enjoying my food. The star was the cornbread that was made in the waffle iron, a little sweet and savory a treat for sure!
