Food was good and fresh. Just be ready to wait. Could be short staffed but its worth the wait.

We heard great things and had to try while on vacation. The staff was friendly, no wait, food came out quickly and was amazing. French onion soup was soooo good and the gumbo was a huge hit

I haven't had jambalaya for years. This is one of the first restaurants here in New Orleans that I saw offered it. I'm sure there are others, but this is the first one I saw. The jambalaya was as I remembered very good and there was a huge amount I could barely eat a third of it. The staff were very friendly The place looked like a typical bar so it wasn't anything fancy it was comfortable, but I had wish there was a little more air-conditioning rather than just fans on the whole. It was a good place.

Came here for breakfast as it was just down the street from our hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the food was delicious. Service was top notch, our server Christen was friendly, nice, and gave excellent recommendations. We ordered the biscuits and gravy (simple but good) the Atchafalaya (loved it and highly recommend it) , Bayou Benedict (also excellent), and the fried calamari (good but greasy). Get the jambalaya as a side it was like magic in my mouth, delicious!!!

This place is located near Jackson square and a short walk from the waterfront where the paddle boat is docked. It was crowded and the hostess said the food would come out quicker if I sat at the bar. I appreciated that suggestion. It wasn't a long wait at all for the food. The bartender was very nice and helpful with menu recommendations. He just wasn't that attentive. But it was because the bar was full and he had a lot to take care of. I ordered the crawfish Benedict. I was torn between the grits and jambalaya but I went with his jambalaya recommendation. This is an extremely filling dish. The biscuit was good but heavy. The crawfish cake and sauce were delicious. Very flavorful. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The jambalaya had a lot of chicken and sausage in it. The spice level was perfect.

Cafe Maspero spoke to us so we headed there tonight. It was delightful from the moment we sat down because the front and right side walls are actually doors that open. And there are large fans turning slowly on the ceiling, so there was a lovely breeze on this 85°day. It also opened up the outside world to people watching! Our waiter Sammy was eager to please and very good at his job. They have a full bar, and offer anything you would ask for, plus house special drinks. They also offer a nice variety of beer, in the bottle and on tap. We enjoyed a cold local favorite, Abita Amber on tap. It paired very nicely with our appetizer, fried alligator with remoulade sauce. I asked for it crispy and they didn't disappoint. It was very nice, with a flavorful breading and perfect with very tasty remoulade. My wife opted for crawfish Étouffée and since I couldn't pick just one, I had a flight of New Orleans delicacies. I ordered the Taste Of Cafe Maspero: All the bayou traditions: red beans & rice, jambalaya with chicken & sausage, chicken & andouille gumbo, or crawfish etouffee. You have the option to select 3 or all 4. Since my wife had Crawfish Étouffée, I had a flight of 3. The portions were perfect, just enough to give you the experience and share a bite. Not so much you are stuffed and unwell. We both selected a side salad with honey mustard dressing. The salad is basically Romain lettuce with a pinch of shredded cheese and tomato wedge. A bit of a let down honestly. The rest of the dinner did not disappoint! The red beans and rice tasted traditional and wonderful with a nice kick to it. The jambalaya was a also flavorful with just the right amount of kick. I am not a gumbo fan but ordered it as part of the trio hoping it would change my mind. It didn't, but I'll own that. I liked the crawfish étouffée as well, but the jambalaya and red beans and rice were the stars of this plate. Based on my tastes of course. The flavors of all of them were very traditional with just the right kick of spice, which I was looking for and therefore delighted to find. To finish off the evening we decide to round out our evening of traditional food with an order of the beignet fries. These were a nice twist on traditional beignet pillows but had the same dough flavor and avalanche of powdered sugar. The atmosphere was just great, perfect for this hot day, the full bar and beer choices were nice to see for groups who need the options, and the menu is full of all things traditional to dining in New Orleans. It also happens to be across from the Cafe du Monde, if a large order of beignets is the way you want to end your day, and the water front, a nice place to walk after a satisfying meal.

Walked in for breakfast not knowing what to expect. I got the crawfish benedict and BOYYY I was NOT disappointed. It was so delicious. I didn't know what to expect but it was great. I got them with cheese and grits which was excellent! The sauce was good, the crawfish was good, the biscuits were good. It was a huge portion so I split it with the BF. We were full!!! Def on the heavier side of meals but totally worth it for the uniqueness of it.

First place we dined in New Orleans. It was recommended by a local friend of mine. Quaint cafe a block from Cafe Du Monde. Staff were very friendly and assured me I could park on the street (got lucky with a parking space but wasn't sure if it was a legal spot). Crawfish cakes for an appetizer. Great crawfish flavor. Muffuletta was stacked higher than any I've had before and the olive salad had cauliflower and a really nice vinegar taste. I really enjoyed the red beans and rice. Perfect combination of gravy and whole beans and delicate rice. Southern Bourbon Peach tea was a little sweet for me and not as much peach flavor as I expected. Overall it was the perfect lunch to start off the weekend in NOLA.

Stopped in to rest my 'walking feet' on the way to Jackson Square and was pleasantly impressed! Instead of a 'nibble', I ordered a yummy 3-egg omelette. The service could have been more efficient; however, their food was delivered quickly. It appeared there is a steady flow of patrons at all times of the day. On a corner, which made 'people-watching fun ;). Across from a popular beignet place, it seemed to have equal, if not more, customers, which indicates 'good food' .. and it is/was!

Most Yelp ratings are heavily weighted on the food experience and if the food is palatable or not. In this case, I want to make emphasis on my customer service experience because this place was the most welcoming and friendliest restaurant I've patronized in a long time! This restaurant displayed the true definition of "southern hospitality ". We were seated quickly, and our server was warm and knowledgeable. We ordered the Strawberry mint lemonade (with Tito's), an appetizer of spinach dip, and two shrimp baskets. The manager gave us a free dessert as first time guests as well. The food was decent and good and their price points were fair. Overall, we had a joyful experience and we attribute our dining experience to the lovely employees at this restaurant.
