Way Down Yonder New Orleans Finest Restaurant

I spent 78.00 for some whiting that wasn't seasoned, mac and cheese, dirty rice (both were good), then my child had four wings, fries, mac and cheese, and we had two drinks. Not to mention there was a 20% gratuity built in, $89.00 for some not so good food.

Decent food but WAY overpriced. One of the employees was extremely rude. I'll spend my "limited dollars" at Lee's Seafood where you at least get what you pay for. ✌?

We were in town for a BOA competition and wanted to try something local. Their entrees are really good, but I LOVED their corn cake and greens. They were better than homemade! The cornbread was tall and fluffy, not too dense, and the greens had a good peppery, spicy flavor. Service was laid back and welcoming. We want to stop again when we're in town.

I had a better experience when I dined in March ‘24. This dine in visit on 9/15/24 not so much. My food was well seasoned and tasty, but warm. I prefer steaming hot like last visit. Also, the floor was not clean, and the sink in the bathroom didn’t work. The server was friendly.

I placed a to go order. I had been wanting to go to this place for a while but heard about the high prices. Finally, I decided to bite the bullet. I ordered a kids meal with chicken, Mac and cheese, greens and peach cobbler. I don’t eat much chicken and it was ok. The mac and cheese was good and the greens were ok. The most disappointing item was the dessert…the peach cobbler. The appearance and the taste was terrible that I couldn’t stomach eating more than one bite and I wasted $10 smh. I must say I was disappointed ☹️ and would have been even more upset if I would have spent more money. I’m big on dessert. Needless to say, I will not be back. The people were nice which is I’m giving them a 3. The desert gets a -1 and the mac and cheese gets a 3, the chicken I’d give a 2.5 and the greens would get a 3. ?‍♀️

The most family homie feeling restaurant. You don’t feel like a customer. You feel like your going to grandma house and you can smell that sweet warm peach cobbler smell. The woo dat punch is sweet but not over powering. The chicken is beyond flavorful, the Mac and cheese is creamy cheese and stay that way the whole meal. The greens taste better than your ex wife and the yams are yamming. Best New Orleans soul food in Ohio.. catfish is juicy and flavored..

It’s a little hot inside but not uncomfortable. Bring the family.

It’s a hit or miss.i always order and pick up.. this time i went inside..and i orderd peach cobbler ..it was peach soup..the carrot was from Kroger smh..the fried fish was not cook all the way..then the cook gave hisself a $20 tip..we spent $170…last time i will go there..i did support and will always support black business’s …but come on do better…who serves peach cobbler soup…no crust ..smh..

Went for lunch today. Right off the prices are very steep to say the least. People are very friendly and professional. I ordered gumbo, being a lover of good gumbo. What I got was far from gumbo. It was chicken and fish soup in watery broth. The key ingredient in gumbo is the roux. This place has no idea about that critical element. I, until today, have never seen gumbo broth that you could eat with a straw. Plus, where on earth do they get the idea to put shell on crab in a gumbo?
Nice folks, nice building, but way too expensive for bad Cajun food. Sorry, I really wanted to like it.

Workers were very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious- I got the seafood platter and the batter on the fish and shrimp was perfect. Huge portions, well worth the price for good fish around here. Have enough leftover for a whole meal tomorrow.

I’m visiting a friend in Columbus and heard about how good the food is so I wanted to try. Well I never made it because this afternoon the friend I am here visiting was side swiped by the food truck driver then when he got out to exchange info the driver punched my friend in the throat, jumped back into the truck and sped off with the license plate spray painted over. I would never eat at a place where the staff treats people this way.

The food was amazing. the service was amazing. We loved it and cant wait to go back.

I've ate there once the food was good but I didn't realize until I left that I was overcharged so I will never go back
