Krewe of McGinley Square Reviews
I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.
Great food, comfortable atmosphere and AMAZING staff. A must try!!!!

The restaurant is known for its bold, flavorful dishes such as Cajun pasta, blackened fish, jambalaya, and cornbread. Recent visitors praised the jambalaya as the best they have had in a long time, with a perfect balance of spice and traditional flavor. The food quality remains consistently high, with dishes like the salmon special and bread pudding receiving high marks for their deliciousness. The menu includes options for dietary restrictions, such as Vegan Dirty Rice, and the restaurant is BYOB, making it a flexible choice. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, with jazz music playing on Sunday evenings adding to the charm. Outdoor seating is available, and reservations are recommended since all tables tend to fill up quickly, especially on weekends. The sides, like cornbread and grit fries, are great for sharing, and the mac & cheese appetizer is super cheesy with a crispy crust on top. Most entrees are around $30, with generous portions that are filling and satisfying. The bread pudding is a highlight, and the staff offers friendly, attentive service, with thoughtful suggestions from the menu. Overall, Krewe of McGinley Square provides a delightful dining experience with excellent food, making it a favorite for locals and visitors alike.
