Eggs Benedict was extremely disappointing. The ham was very salty. The English muffins were not toasted at all. There was so little Hollandaise sauce on the eggs that I had to ask for more to be put on the eggs. It all felt like it was thrown together quickly because they were busy. Certainly not worth the trip to go to that specific restaurant and not worth the money.

Went for brunch, the food was great (potato cakes are a must)! Their mimosas are really nice because juice and champagne come separately you get to DIY!! Highly recommend, my only complaint is that for how empty the restaurant was sat for 5+ minutes before anyone came over to us. Our waitress (Monica?) was not very attentive. Our drinks were never refilled.... we could see her chatting with coworkers at the host stand. She walked past multiple times without ever checking on us. For how slow the restaurant was I was unimpressed with our service, but the food and drinks made up for it. Would have left 5 stars if our service was better.

At a time when hospitality and customer service seem to be sharply declining across the country, the staff at Beggar's always excel. If I didn't love their brunch, which I do, I would choose to go there because of their exceptional service.

Tried this place out for the first time the atmosphere was absolutely lovely. The food was pretty good although I will say with the shrimp po boy it was a little more peppered than I like. The poutine was amazing. Overall 9.5 out of 10.

Came here on Christmas Eve. It was empty when we arrived but was absolutely packed by the time we left. If you plan on coming in, get there early! Our server was great! She took care of everything we needed! No complaints! The food was ok! I had the chicken and waffles sandwich and washed it down with a Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary was boozy! It was good but very strong! The place itself is nice. No complaints about the restaurant overall. It was ok, nothing to write home about. There are a lot of options in the area. May return if an opportunity presents itself.

Food was just fine, but WAY overpriced for what it was. 25 dollars for a normal burger. 8 dollars for a coffee, there wasn’t even real milk/cream. Our water tasted like dish sanitizer. The servers were doing their best considering, no blame there. Would never go back.

This is not really a review, but a thank you letter from NJ. We were lucky to eat many times at one of Chef Mike's restaurants in NJ: Good Mojo in East Hanover. Amazing food and ambiance. We will miss him and his wife, but one man's loss is another man's gain. So good luck to you in New Orleans , Chef Mike and family. Your food is the best!

The eggs benedict was bland and tasteless. The potatoes were rather dry and seemed like they were sitting out for a long time. Having said this, in the kitchen's defence, the restaurant was jam packed. Our waitress did an amazing job.On a side note, please bring back the cannelloni!
