Bomb diggety food and vibes! Crawfish Mac is ? Best Mac you’ll ever have in your LOIYF! Oysters are a huge hit here as well! Service is always 5 stars at my favorite restaurant/bar in the Quarter! If you’re lucky enough you might even meet the legendary Lulu! Stop thinking, order a drink and grub down on their beautiful patio already!

Love it here. Great place to watch a Saints game. It's worth noting I ordered oysters, only to be told they'd run out. Thirty minutes later, the person who told me they'd run out brought me a dozen of their best specialty oysters (can't remember the actual name) on the house! It's service like this that brings me back. Give this one a try.

Visited on a Thursday mid-afternoon for the oysters, but was told they were only available evenings and then all day on the weekend (Fri-Sun); don’t know if that is seasonal or not. Stayed for a meal anyway - split a steak and cheese po’boy with a side of collard greens. Sandwich was great - melted cheese and great beef. But the collards were the best I’ve ever had. On the salty side, but the greens and the pork were a perfect Combe, excellently done. Went back the next day at noon for oysters - raw - outstanding, served as they should be shucked, on ice, with hot sauce and horseradish on the side. So glad we returned for what we came for. The staff were excellent both days. Different crew each day, but friendly, welcoming, attentive, conversant. Highly recommend this place for the food, beer selection, and the staff.

I had been here before the onwership changed, and was reluctant to come back, but an old acquaintence from a now-closed bar was here, so I gave it a try. I saw lots of old friends, met some new locals, & thoroughly enjoyed my extremely cold beer. The space is open & inviting, the restrooms are clean, & the courtyard is absolutely incredible. I regret not putting this bar in my regular French Quarter rotation sooner. Thanks, Lulu, for the good service! I will be back.

It was a poor start to our trip to NOLA as a group of us ate here our first night and regretted this restaurant selection. So many great places to eat and this was horrible. My husband ordered an oyster sandwich and ended up with a pile of shells on his plate that he picked out of the sandwich! My oysters on the half shell were tiny and not worth the lengthy wait to get them. However, the beer was cold.
