First of all, let me make sure you guys understand that I’m a 29 year Brooklyn native. Not knowing anything about southern cuisine I strolled into Krewe as I explored Jersey City. Before even getting through the doors I’m greeted by calming music leading me into an eye catching environment filled with tasteful art along with festive decorations.Smiles all around taking me to my seat as my stomach began to growl with anticipation. I’m a heavy eater of chicken so I went with the Chicken Po Boy….didn’t regret a thing. The south cut up chicken thigh overflowing out of my sandwich was a sight to see and the juiciness left my tastebuds back flipping. Water for my beverage as I’m a simple man. On a reccomendation I tried the Grit Fries - never knowing what grits truly were. To my surprise the delicious crispy crunchy outer layer was nothing compared to the soft warm cloud in the middle. I was sold, sandwich so flavorful along with a side of deep fried heaven - what more can I ask for from my new lunch spot.Service was amazing as people were warm and friendly. Cooks did an amazing job and the food was complimented by a very clean and vibrant environment. You’ll definitely catch me there again!

The food (especially the specials) are incredible, I've been to New Orleans a dozen times and this compares to some of the best I've had there. The service is fun, attentive, and on top of things. Amazing date spot or just for a nice takeaway dinner in. Highest recommendation.

Ordered gumbo and garlic bread from Uber Eats. Could use some spicy heat but it was good. Garlic bread was underwhelming.

The customer service is amazing! I frequently order the Gumbo on Uber Eats...at least twice a week. Ok. I'm addicted!! Lmao. Anthony the Chef is very responsive to customers request. I will definitely be making a trip to Jersey City to have dinner in-person and explore the rest of the

Ordered take out for the first time. Seafood gumbo, shrimp etoufee, blackened catfish and banana bread pudding. I'm super impressed! Great flavors, well seasoned. Loved the gumbo, shrimp, and banana bread the most. Excited to try in person.

This is one of my favorite hidden gems in Jersey City. Great spot for date night and brunch. It’s BYOB with no corking fees and the decor is so cute. I also had ordered a few dishes for catering for my Friendsgiving and they were a hit! My go-to is usually the BBQ shrimp but none of the dishes have disappointed. Absolutely recommend for foodies and those looking to escape the crowded bars, especially if you’re on a budget.

What a treat Krewe is every time we have it. My wife and I love that this gem is only around the block from us. The Gumbo is as authentic as any you've ever had before. Pay attention when your waiter reads the specials because they really are special. The Portions are healthy and it's BYOB so can wash your meal down with anything you want. The dining room is a little tight but that only adds to the atmosphere when they have live music going. The service is always incredible and super, super friendly. Good chance you'll even meet the owners, the head chef and his wife.

Service was superb and very attentive. Portions were large and full of flavor. Must try, hidden gem in Jersey City!
Ordered the mufaletta and red beans & rice to go. Sandwich was big enough to have lunch for the next day. The olive spread made it perfect. Red beans & rice made for a great snack. Loved the andoullie.

Best restaurant in Jersey city. The service is out of this world.. I’ve lived in the south and this place embodies and succeeds southern hospitality! The food is so delicious . The plates are well thought out and put together the ingredients fresh and perfect. I appreciate that the veg and vegan plates are also thought out. I hate when I get a veg meal and it’s just all the veggies they have in stock thrown in a tortilla or on the plate. This is a legit meal for herbívoros. All the food is made with love.. We’ve been here multiple times and will continue to return! Perfect for a romantic date night too. Brunch is fantastic. I hope In the future they can add a gumbo d’zherbs to the menu!!
