A little too, pricey for what you get. The poor boys were a little lacking in flavor. Maybe we ordered the wrong things? I have heard good reviews about their food.

The guy at the counter was very friendly. I ordered the fried catfish and shrimp combo. The fish didn’t taste like catfish and was a bit salty. The shrimp and fries were good!! The “who dat punch” was good as well.

Parking: There are only three parking spots on the lot!

I heard so much about this place prior to coming to the city, so I decided to give it a try. On the app, it said that their special was the catfish stuffed jambalaya. But when I got there, they only had pastas as their specials. I was so disappointed because I was really looking forward to the stuffed catfish. We settled on one blackened catfish and shrimp special and one fried catfish special with shrimp. After paying for our meal, we were told, "Hey, I forgot we don't have any shrimp." How can you forget a major item like that, especially after we've already paid and are expecting shrimp?

When we got back home to enjoy our meal, we found out they had given us both fried fish instead of one blackened and one fried. Another disappointment. They didn't give enough sauce for the fish or fried items, just one small container. The smothered green beans were extremely salty, and the candy yams were way too sweet. The only positive thing I can say is that the fried catfish had flavor, but it was so thin. Overall, I was just let down by the experience. I don't understand how you can run out of a main staple like shrimp and only tell your customers after they've paid. We had to come up with our own solution because the cashier didn't offer anything extra, even though we paid for something they didn't have. We asked for an extra piece of fish in exchange for the lack of shrimp.

Very Expensive & they take absolutely FOREVER to make your order. Three times now we have placed an order ahead of time, giving them at least 30 mins to make the order only to arrive to the order not being done & having to wait an additional 10-15 mins. The craziest part is all we ever order anymore are some fries with sausage & sauce drizzled on it! Should take 15 mins tops. As someone that has worked in the restaurant industry for 7 years, i have no idea what their deal is. Great food though. We’ve tried the peach cobbler beignets & they are fantastic. Po boys are a tad lackluster & dry with no sauces on it. Crawfish fries are delicious as well as the andouille sausage fries.

This was the 2nd New Orleans restaurant I tried in Omaha. The menu looked pretty good. It's inside an ice cream shop. The wife ordered the Jambalaya and I ordered a shrimp Po Boy.

As someone who's been to Mardi Gras 12 times and eaten at numerous French Quarter restaurants, I'm always on the look out for good Creole food.

While this place was better than the other Omaha New Orleans restaurant, the food still wasn't good. The shrimp in the Po Boy was under seasoned and dry. The Jambalaya rice was way overcooked and just not good. I'm sure it's just line cooks who really don't care about the food coming out, they're just there for the paycheck and go home. And the food reflects it.

If I'm in Omaha again, I'll come back for the ice cream, but Omaha has no good New Orleans restaurants that I've found so far.

This place is a little gem. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was amazing. Hot and Fresh. The food reminded me of being back in Tennessee and my wife being from Louisiana also really enjoyed this place.
If you never been here, you definitely should stop on in.

Beignets? More like "Beign-Yay!" Best Cajun-style food I've had since my friend's mom's Louisiana-style cooking. Great service and excellent food! Can't wait until I get to their brick and mortar location in Benson ?
