While walking around on Frenchmen st, stumbled upon this place and knew I had to try the fried chicken. Ended up getting a 4 piece chicken with French fries, a corn biscuit, and jambalaya rice. I usually like to eat my chicken with some sauce, so I saw they had some honey mustard and got a few small containers. Upon first try, this honey mustard sauce was awesome! It had the right amount of sweetness and was peppery, which I love in my honey mustard. It made for the perfect dipping sauce when eating the chicken, which was super good! The corn biscuit was as well, and I couldn't believe that everything in my box was slamming! I thoroughly enjoyed my food, and yes, there wasn't a crumb left! The jambalaya rice wasn't bad, but I've had better. The decor in this place is unique to the area, and it really gave off a New Orleans jazz vibe. On top of that, there was some great love music playing outside, so between the ambiance and decor, it set the tone for my meal! I'd highly recommend this place for a late night fried snack and a live time.

So fracking good. Fries are PERFECT. biscuits are sweet and crumbly, chicken was hot and moist.

The fried chicken was so greasy and poorly seasoned. Tastes at best like Popeyes. Good, quick, and friendly service though. The place smells like weed infused. Would not recommend. Only if you're starving to death.

The chicken was just ok, which was disappointing. I've had a lot of great fried chicken in my life, and this was kinda bland like you'd see at a buffet. I expected something tastier for a $13 two-piece.

Came here to grab some drinks. They have plenty of space and the food smells great. I got a frozen drink and it tasted good. Love the decor of the venue.

Prepare for a scam. This place will cost you $50 for chicken tenders and a beer. Now I know what you're gonna say, I shouldn't have eaten on Frenchman, but the line at Dat Dog was too long. The chicken is totally fine, nothing wrong with it except for the fact it'll cost you an arm and a leg.

The atmosphere and set up was really enjoyable. They only had two items on the menu due to it being mardi gra. My husband loved the fried fish and the chicken was good which is what I had.

Ordered the fish and shrimp platter and it came out in a box. The gut Buster in the box had the taste of day old grease and fries that appeared to have been soaked in water after being taken out of the day old grease. When the lady brought the bag to the table, I asked Ma'am is this the platter and she then replied load and proud Yeeeepppppp! Mind you, we paid aprox $70.00 for this heartburn and two drinks that tasted like over rated and highly sweetened suga water with a Lil color. Eat at your own risk and if you choose to do so make sure you have the anti acid pills close by along with some baby wipes to donate your platter to a better cause.

The Jambalaya was the bomb with heaps of fresh tender chicken inside ? wish they had a 3 meat version. The chef was also nice enough to recommend me some places to eat after I had the worst food of my life at a tourist trap earlier. Very friendly staff.
