Me and my family went here to get a nice lunch after church . The ordering process was very easy, and food was GREAAATTTT! No one had any complaints and we are a family of six. The alligator bites were super good and the sauce that went with it was amazing. I also had the shrimp linguini cajun pasta and the portion was big enough for me to take home to have for dinner. I also got beignets to take home and me and my husband had to try them while they were fresh and they were so light and fluffy and sweet, soooo good, he is still talking about them lol. I will definitely be back again.

I didn't know what to expect after I ordered my food because I've never been to this restaurant and there wasn't many reviews but the food was SLAMMING! I had the Cajun blackened chicken and yellow rice with a side of beignets and it was so good. I highly recommend.

Crawfish Etouffee here brought me back to NOLA. Very good. Great service and great food. Highly recommend a visit.

I have been thinking a lot about trying this place out. I've been skeptical since I spent many years in Louisiana and Alabama. I pick the food up after work. The experience ordering has really surprised me though. I ordered online directly through the restaurant. Picked what time I'd be there to pick up my food. They obviously spent quite a bit of time on their website. My food was ready for me at 4pm as scheduled!! Their food was Amazing!!! Absolutely going back again.

Great food! This is not a watered down take on New Orleans cuisine - it’s the real thing. The gumbo has the proper black pepper punch 99 percent of “gumbos” outside Louisiana lack. I’ve spent a lot of time in New Orleans and this is my go-to Cajun/Creole place in the 757.

I'm super impressed! I ordered the Cajun shrimp boil on Grubhub. I live close so the food arrive hot. It have a ton of yummy seasoning on the top. I like that the seasoning was not too salty or over powering. I got these huge shrimp and the sausages were delicious. Corn, potatoes, and egg were bomb! 10/10 would recommend!

I placed a DoorDash order from Bailey's of both beef and shrimp yaka mein, Cajun punch, jambalaya, and pecan pralines and everything was delicious and amazing! The order came hot and presentation was really nice! Eating the yakamein made me feel like I had just walked into the bar room after a night out and finished my night off! AUTHENTIC! The pecan candy topped off the meal with a melt in your mouth sweet! Thoroughly enjoyed this meal from Bailey's. Thank you Bailey's!

Wow, and to think didn't know y'all were there. Feeling a tad under the weather, I went to grub hub to find something for dinner. And up popped you guys. What a pleasant surprise. My meal is wonderful! Definitely going to check out you restaurant in person and thanks for restoring my faith in the food delivery system. ?

The food and service is top notch! Absolutely loved the cajun juice. They even give you a cute water bottle thank you can re-use. We had the shrimp po boy, hot sausage po boy, beignets, and bread pudding. My Husband is originally from New Orleans so we were looking for a place to give that feel. This is definitely the spot!

Ok so I've been dying to try this place out..browsed the menu and for a while I've been wanting to try New Orleans style yak-a-mein....Went there today and I was sooo disappointed. I knew the yak would be different from the Portsmouth version, but damn! It was nothing close to what I expected at all. I had beef yak-a-mein and the beef was tough, noodles were over cooked and the flavor just wasn't doing it for me. My son had gumbo...he loved it!! bless his heart he doesn't know any better..the corn chowder was meh. Hey maybe I got the wrong thing or I caught them on a bad day. I gave them 2 stars for customer service and presentation. Sorry...it's a NO for me

Excellent shrimp po boy. Offered military discount which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend for authentic Cajun cuisine.

Absolutely amazing. Really captures the essence that is New Orleans cuisine. The proprietor greets every customer and delivers each dish with the twang that sets NOLA apart from every place else.
