The 44 best spots for waffles in New Orleans

The food is phenomenal here! There wasn't one thing we had that wasn't delicious. Our favorite was the chicken livers and pepper jelly. The oysters were perfectly cooked. Praline bacon wasn't over sweet. Fried green tomatoes had a wonderful tartness to them. Service was amazing too!

Great spot in Elizabeth! The food was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous definitely worth the visit if you’re in New Orleans. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere made the experience even better.

A great comfort southern breakfast. My favorite was the friend boudin eggs special. It’s got A fried pate type situation in the bottom topped with a flavorful crawfish etoufe & poached eggs on top. I think this place is most known for the duck waffle and honestly it was not my thing because it’s pretty sweet. The carne asada hash was really good. They have great crispy potatoes that came with each dish. The praline bacon and biscuits and gravy were decent. Overall super solid breakfast spot would come again

Cute place for breakfast- out of the main tourist-area. You can park and take a walk along the river across the road. It's great food- the prices are according. The sweet potato-duck waffle is amazing.

Overall experience was a blast. The meal I got was a little underwhelming as the french toast breakfast burrito. I would of loved it NOT in a tortilla, but in a crepe or softer casing. The tortilla just didnt do it for me. All the other food was amazing and the service was top notch!

Food was absolutely amazing! Boudin is house made! Praline bacon is off the chart! We will definitely be back! David our server was amazing and made sure our drinks were filled at all times!!

Love this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the ambience is great. The food and drinks were excellent. Can't wait to return!

We spent several days in New Orleans and ate at a few fine dining places, but Brennan's was by far the highlight of our culinary adventures in New Orleans! We came in for brunch, and every minute was superb. The wait staff was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is so beautifully decorated and pleasant. We started with a delicious Irish coffee and Bloody Mary. My crab cake appetizer was really special, creatively done with the freshest ingredients and perfectly fried exterior. The turtle soup is a must try! The shrimp and grits had a fun presentation twist, and my husband's duck confit hash browns were out of this world. Of course, we got the bananas foster for dessert. They make the ice cream locally and prepare it in a special way so it doesn't turn to soup with the banana and sauce. It was so delicious and such a fun experience. The "cherry on the cake"? The coffee with chicory is probably the best coffee I've ever had!

Our dinner at Brennan's was nothing short of a five-star experience. Despite the restaurant being typically packed on a Friday, we were seated on the Terrace, which provided a wonderfully quiet and charming escape. It was the perfect atmosphere, and we even enjoyed the small water fountain that is home to a delightful crew of 10 turtles (one of them an albino!). The service was truly the highlight. Our server was beyond excellent—attentive, extremely helpful, and proactively sought answers from the chef regarding our questions. The overall supervision was also impressive; the head of the servers and other staff were constantly present, making rounds to ensure every table was perfectly taken care of. Our party of five enjoyed a variety of dishes, and every single plate was prepared and presented beautifully. Even the kid's dinner was surprisingly delicious! The level of attention to detail across the entire operation was evident and appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.

The eggs sardou is the best, most mind-blowing dish I’ve ever eaten! The crispy artichoke bottoms are definitely not from a can and each component was cooked to perfection. I will dream of this flavor for years to come! The whole meal was outstanding and surpassed my expectations - I wondered if it might be a tourist trap but it was the highlight of the trip.

Brunch was amazing from the service to the food to the dining space. Our server Lynika and her team mate Destiny were both so helpful and awesome. Lynika gave suggestions and answered every question we had plus everything we got was delicious that she said. Even though we were pleasantly full we had to get the bananas Foster which they do table side. We had the bloody Mary's and coffee. Our meals were scotch egg, eggs st. Charles, duck confit hash, and the steak and eggs. I really enjoyed my duck but the best thing was Eggs St Charles, which was recommended. Thank you for an incredible experience and meal.

I tried "Taste of Brennan's" combo: turtle soup, shrimp boil, and bread pudding for 38 dollars. I particularly liked the shrimp boil, it was so very flavorful that I had a strong urge to lick the plate. The turtle soup was a bit of disappointment, I expected a lot more and more unique flavor. It was good, just not great. The bread pudding was very sweet, I ate about half of it. Overall, performance ratio was very good. Note: reservation time is just a suggestion. Were asked to sit and wait past our reservation time. We were situated about 10-12 minutes after the original reservation time. We were not late, in fact we arrived a few minutes early.

100% Gem!! You must eat at Brennan's when visiting NOLA. Some of the most creative brunch dishes I have ever seen. FYl they created the banana foster so you have to get one when you come here just saying! Food was on point in every way. The cheery atmosphere and staff is very proper and considerate you get top notch service! Went for breakfast and it was fantastic. I definitely recommend the turtle soup the flavors were amazing. I went with the Eggs Owen and my wife got the Eggs Sardou both dishes came out hot and picture perfect amazing mmmmm...They were phenomenal everything from the service to food was spot on and overall we will definitely be there again next visit. Loved the waiter that did our bananas foster he was amazing and very informative! 100% recommend!

Finally getting around to posting reviews for the places we chose for our wedding back in March- Brennan’s was exceptional from start to finish. If you are contemplating having a party, reception or event here, look no further. Our food was perfect, the drinks were spot on, and our dedicated party host and server went above and beyond for us, even with our cake cutting service. It is so hard to find truly great catering with delicious food for groups of 20 or more anywhere, and our 3 course meal was so fresh and everyone raved about it. I’m still thinking about it all this time later. Thank you Brennan’s…I could not have dreamed of another place I wanted for our wedding, given we are from Texas and wanted a real NOLA experience celebrating at a place owned and operated by one of the greatest hospitality families of all time.

One of the best breakfast spots we found in New Orleans! The customer service was amazing. Our server Jonathan, was super friendly. We ordered the Bananas Foster French Toast and the Corned Beef Hash with sunny side up eggs, both dishes were extremely delicious. I will definitely be coming back here for breakfast next time I am in town!

This place is fantastic! They make a delicious Bloody Mary, and the Omelet Sandwich was incredible - packed with ham, bacon, cheese, and a spicy mayo. Great service, fun atmosphere!

Great spot just off Jackson Square in open cafe with great NOLA feel. Staff very engaged. Excellent gumbo! Dark roux with deep flavors and not thick like many that can be too thick. Lots of seafood, sausage and chicken. Get it with the potato salad!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. I highly recommend the crab cakes benedict. I actually got scrambled eggs on the side and mixed some of that crab cake up in the mix and it was 🤌 Jonathan did a wonderful job as our server.

Absolutely delicious! Jonathan was our server and he was fantastic. One of the best breakfast meals I’ve ever had!

Monday morning breakfast in NOLA, is a treat when you eat at Stanley’s in Jackson Square. My wife just had Mother’s Day yesterday and her Birthday tomorrow so she was feeling good about things and started the order off with a double Bloody Mary GreyGoose, and crab cake Benedict. I ordered coffee, then, Jonathan our waiter ask if I was going to let let her have all the New Orleans fun! I canceled the coffee got a Bloody Mary and eggs Benedict, everything was delicious! Service, food, atmosphere! We left and did a little shopping! I truly enjoy NOLA. Stanley’s is a must for your breakfast/brunch! 5:12/2025

Quite possibly one of the best brunch/eggs Benedict I've ever had in my life. Was our favorite breakfast spot in NOLA.

Some things actually don’t change very much. Maybe that’s why so many of us love New Orleans. Like so many people, I used to come here at all hours when I was in college a million years ago. Also like so many people, I always try to stop by when I am in town. If you’ve never been, stop by if you have time. It’s a tiny old-school diner - just a narrow counter with stools - but it’s the kind of place where people still remember their waiters from years gone by. They have traditional Louisiana diner fare. Today, I went for breakfast. I had red beans and rice (because Monday), with catfish (because catfish!). Chicory coffee, of course. If you want to be comfortable, this is possibly not your place. If you want to experience a New Orleans tradition, get on in there. ❤️

A real old-time lunch counter. Good food, lots of it, smiling servers (if a little slow) and a great vibe. If you can, save room for the Coconut Cream Pie. It was fantastic! I also really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes.

It was more than a meal - it was an experience. The staff was so kind and friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. It’s small, but I’d happily wait in line to get to eat here again. Lots of customs and traditions, such as how the waiter gives you a straw. Quality service and food. They also offer a full menu all day, and my kids loved getting burgers for breakfast.

After reading so many great reviews & realizing I was in the neighborhood, I decided to walk to Camellia‘s last night where I was greeted with nothing but smiles and great energy. I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich and mac & cheese to go, walked 20 minutes to my home and it was absolutely delicious, It hit all the spots & the kind of mac & cheese also that I have been craving all week. You even get to watch the food being made right in front of you, my compliments to the chef and the kind gentlemen who helped me, especially Chad. There is also a lovely hostess with a beautiful smile, waiting to help you get seated somewhere. If you’re in the neighborhood or in town and you need some good Diner eats, then I’d absolutely recommend you stop by this place, it’s right along the street car path and very convenient. I plan on coming back for the pecan pie! P.S. the Mac and cheese doesn’t come with black pepper, I just added it.

It's the Camellia Grill! Pretty famous spot, been there forever and it's easy to see why. Boyfriend got a Roast Beef poboy and I had an Omlette. Excellent. What I really love is the service though and that it feels so much like eating at a friend's house who are great cooks. They just serve you when it's ready....here's your Omlette, here's your hash browns 5 minutes later...cool! It tastes like food I can make, but just so much better and really is so authentic New Orleans in every way and I love it. Forever a favorite spot since I was a kid. The Pecan pie, tastes like someone's grandma makes it, it's perfect.

Great old time dinner atmosphere and friendly service. It is all counter service only so there is usually a line. I had a sausage omelette and cheese grits. It was delicious! I had to have a slice of pecan pie. It’s grilled with butter before serving. WOW

Went here because it's historic, but unfortunately, I think they lean on that a bit too much. Our server was meek and not all that enthused to be helping us. Everything we ordered was wrong in some way (wrong cheeses, wrong sides). Took forever to flag her down for a coffee refill, which I got but after I was done with my meal. I love a good lunch counter, but I've experienced better service at a Waffle House.

I did not expect a tiny little burger grill to be the place I hit up twice in a 2 day trip to NOLA but this beef burger was one of the best I have ever had in my life so couldn’t help myself. I don’t even understand how or why it was as good as it was because it looks like any old burger but it was seriously amazing. Just simple food with every detail done to absolute perfection I guess. My partner had the chicken sandwhich our first visit and said it was a 10/10 too. The vibe here is great, super cute interior and the location is so close to where you’re probably gonna be on bourbon street so easy to pop in and I highly reccomend you do. I also want to comment on the service from the staff as I did see quite a few comments talking this down - both times we went we had a diffeeent server and they were both really lovely and attentive. They were friendly, Made sure we had everything we needed and seemed to genuinely care about delivering good service which wasn’t the case everywhere we went in the French quarter. 10/10, you gotta go here at least once but more likely, you’ll end up back twice.

Kat was phenomenal. She welcomed everyone inside and got our group of four seated quickly. She took our drink order, and made us laugh right off the bat. Very pleased to have her attend to our lunch, which was extremely delicious. I had the special club with bacon, ham, turkey, two types of cheese, mayo, tomato, and lettuce. Two of us had the beef burger with cheese, one with fries, and one with onion rings. Our fourth order was the corn dog, all of which were great options. Kat kept the entire diner clean as people checked out, picking up dishes and cleaning the tables in a prompt manner. I would love to come back as we enjoyed our experience here.

Walked in on Sunday afternoon with my husband, daughter, and father in law. I didn’t get her name, but the red haired manager/server acknowledged us and we sat down right away. Ordered 2 club sandwiches, and the breakfast burger. While I am not a fan of eggs, I did take a bite of the breakfast burger and had my socks blown off! Even though I was eating the best club sandwich I’ve ever eaten, I wish I had ordered the breakfast burger. Our conversation with the lady was even better. As a tourist, I had a million questions lol. Probably the best conversation out of the entire visit to NOLA/Louisiana. Really enjoyed the camaraderie she showed us, and the vibe of the entire place was fantastic!!! Would definitely eat here again!!!

This was one of my favorite burger spots, but I got a breakfast burger with a live roach or beetle or whatever type of insect that is. When I showed the server this, he promised to comp the meal and give us a new one. Obviously I didn’t want it, but he insisted. Because I agreed to the replacement meal that I did not want I was then required to pay the full price, when the check came. It was 4 am and I was too tired to argue. It ruined it for me it’s one of the best burgers in America but now how many times did I eat a bug and not know?

Amazing, cheap, fast and delicious food. Felt like a nostalgic throwback despite being a foreigner, like this was the closest I was going to get to a true American diner experience. Loved it and is one of the meals I think about a lot from our trip in NOLA.

Great service. Excellent grub any time of day. A special nod to the breakfast burger which is enormous and tasty! There pour a mean cup of coffee, too!

Absolutely loved this gem. Excellent service, delicious breakfast at affordable prices. Loved the history of this joint, it's 24 hours and no cash. Small spot with counter space and a few tables. Hit the spot, right on time. Every staff member was great.

Service was great. If you love sugar and sweets the French toast is definitely for you. The serving sizes are good. I enjoyed the eggs and grits. There was no wait when we got there but by the time we left it was a line outside.

One of the best meals I have ever had. The staff was amazing. The wait wasn’t too bad. It is a smaller location but adds to a very lax vibe that they have going on. Love the art available inside as well. I am not typically a shrimp & grits person, but this honestly may have been the most flavor I have had in a meal. The bacon added to it was just icing on the cake. Paired with a very unique stuffed bananas foster French toast. It was one of the best variations of a bananas foster I have had and I may or may not have made an audible noise as I ate it. One of the servers walked by and just went “I heard that” not even realizing I had done it. I couldn’t recommend this location enough. Come early to try and get a spot. If you find yourself on the waiting list, it is so worth sticking around to be seated. Plan on coming back every time I am back in New Orleans

This restaurant came highly recommended by my hotel. The shrimp and grits were to die for!!!! The coffee was great and the originally blended orange and mango juice was wonderful. Definitely will be visiting this gem when I’m back in New Orleans! Thumbs up to Club Wyndham for the awesome recommendation.

Amazing food....12 outta 10 delicious 😋. The place is very small and there will be a wait, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Staff was very nice service was fast and food amazing. There are art pieces covering the walls that are for purchase that were beautiful. Go, you won't regret it!!!! Oh yeah the fresh juice was amazing as well.

I found this place when I was googling directions to the zoo and decided to stop for a late breakfast. We parked on the side street pretty close to the restaurant. We were seated immediately, and the service was great! The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. The restaurant was also very cute and unique.

Very small space. The food was decent but not delicious. The way the Shrimps & Grits looked, I really expected it to be amazing. I think I fell into the Tiktok hype and got disappointed. Overall, we only could give it a 5/10

The hostess and waitress were amazing. Very kind and welcoming. The shrimp and grits OMG!!!!! 10/10 but honestly the rating is higher! The grits were creamy and buttery and the shrimp was cooked to perfection! I’m still thinking about this meal! Shout out to the chef!

Great atmosphere and very busy . Waiter was quick to the table took our order refilled our drinks if needed. Food Took a lil longer than expected, sadly to say my wife’s food was cold (even the grits). Waiter replaced food with no problem . My cat5 burrito sounded exciting after reading it from the menu . Disappointing! the side of plantains on a bed of spinach stole the show . Overall disappointed.

Top tier breakfast. Such great flavors and really large portions. Everything tasted amazing. The etouffee here was the best I had in New Orleans this trip. After being massively disappointed by etouffee and thinking it was just not my thing this place turned me around. The portions were so huge but I literally could not stop eating. I got the Orleans slammer - a bed of crispy hash covered in a flavorful chili full of beans, topped with bacon, two eggs and a biscuit. I would definitely come back, next time I would get the creole slammer that has the etouffee on top because again, best etouffee I had in this trip. I also really liked the vibe and our waiter was super nice 9/10

Super cute place and food was great! I got the BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato sandwich) with hash browns cooked with onions and covered in cheddar cheese. Delicious!! Got the homemade strawberry milkshake to go. It was good, but I could have done without it and saved $10. Our waiter was super friendly and the atmosphere was pretty chill. Over all, I highly recommend eating here!

The food was good. The sweet potato pancake was okay but the omelette was delicious. I will visit here again so I can try more dishes. Great place for visitors. I felt welcomed and safe.

Fun, quirky diner on Magazine. Atmosphere is eclectic, bordering on junky. Felt a bit dirty. Service was friendly if not spotty. “Sinkhole” omelette was tasty, but at $20 I was expecting more.

I ordered the Creole Slammer. It was moderately seasoned, and I had to add hot sauce to make it enjoyable. The service was great, with bubbly personalities and patience.

Great little restaurant! We ate on the patio, which has a very welcoming feel to it. If I lived here, I would eat here on a daily basis! Food full of flavor! Eggs, hash browns with crawfish etouffee and s biscuit to "mop it up." A+

I'm already hooked and can't wait to come back! The food here is incredible, and the presentation is truly outstanding. It looks as good as it tastes! I played it safe with a light dish for my first visit, but I wasn't disappointed. I'm so glad I took the plunge and gave this place a try. My friend's recommendation was spot on! With so many delicious options on the menu, I'm excited to try a little bit of everything next time. Definitely give it a shot. You won't regret it!

Be aware! There's an automatic 20% gratuity added to checks of two or more and another 3% server free that you don't find out about until you get the ticket. $90 breakfast for two people. Not expected. Good food, good service but not for that price.

Great little spot!! Cozy & good food , you can even order a bottle of champagne and make your own mimosas. Had the bacon egg & cubbed mini potatoes along with 2 very well fluffy pancakes. I will say the only thing I didn’t like was the bacon. For them to make everything else fresh & well made. They need to up their bacon game. 2 very sorry pieces of none crispy thin sliced not to tasty bacon. Get there EARLY!!! Waiting list is very long. I personally don’t think the food is amazing enough for ppl to want to wait such a long time. I’m talking 1hr + wait time. But I do get the vibe / atmosphere it has , which is probably why ppl love this place so much.

We sat outside. The menu is great and our server was great. I would suggest if you want multi items I would split. We ordered the crab dip.. wonderful! Blueberry pancakes, salmon, crayfish gravy biscuit, crab omelet, cat mamma, scallops and oyster grits. And the drinks were great.. fresh squeeze juice mimosas!

This is an amazing place to get breakfast, brunch, or lunch, as they close earlier than other places. Their prices are a bit higher than other restaurants, but you get what you pay for. I have not disliked any item from their menu, but my absolute faves are crab croquettes, brisket hash, and their blueberry pancakes. You will not go wrong with any item you choose. We always bring visitors here, and they have never been disappointed. Definitely recommend getting there early (before 9 AM) as there is usually a line. You can give the hostess your name, and they will text you when the table is ready. They give you 10 minutes to return once called. This, of course, only works if you live close by. But definitely recommend trying this place

Pretty good brunch spot. My husband and I arrived around noon on a Friday. The wait was only around 20 minutes. Street parking was plentiful. Inside was cool with a slightly warmer temp that I would have liked. Also the tables are very close together. We started with a side order of the crispy breakfast potatoes, these were really good! I wish the serving size was bigger. We had the mango lemonade and blueberry lemonade bottle juices. They were decent. For entrees we ordered the Lobster Daddy with a hard fried egg and the crawfish sauce on the side, and 2 blueberry pancakes with grilled chicken and hard scrambled eggs. Now the wait time for the food was not timely at all. We saw a few tables that came after us get their meals. Not sure what happened. I enjoyed the Lobster daddy but I feel the serving size was really small for the price. The crawfish sauce was lukewarm so I couldn't really enjoy it. The lobster was fried really well and it was seasoned perfectly. The biscuit was kind of flat but had a good flavor. My husband said his was just ok. Only 1 pancake is needed because it is large. Not the best pancake around but pretty good. The chicken breast was season and grilled wonderfully. Overall not a place I just have to visit again but glad I got it off my bookmark list. Total price $97.00. They automatically include 20% gratuity ( even for a party of 2) and some kind of server fee.

Went here for breakfast on a Saturday, they were busy, busy... put in my name for 1 person, still had to wait to be seated for the bar even though, there were 3 open seats. I waited about 20 min to be seated. Ordered a latte & the steak & eggs special, medium. I was a bit dissatisfied with my meal. The amount of garlic & onions on the steak was way to much, I had to scrape it off, but it was still strong. Steak was over cooked to well, even though I had ordered it medium. Potatoes were way too salty for me. I would go back but try something else.

We visited for Mother's Day, so the wait to be seated and for food was long. However, the food was really good. I had the shrimp and grits with catfish, and it was very good and hearty. I like their sauce better than most restaurants I've tried. It's different in a good way. My niece liked her chicken and waffles, and my sister said her omelet was good as well. Our server, Angel, was sweet and attentive. I definitely recommend them and will be back again.

We had the big Belgian waffle sandwiches with thick slices of bacon eggs with cheese and side of really good creamy grits. The sandwich was not worth $20 because the waffle was horrible and taste like it was made a box mix that you add water. The syrup was Smucker little cups that you get at fast food restaurants. Our server was friendly and attentive. They really good music but it was too loud for brunch and made it hard to talk. The walls are covered with fun and interesting art. The seating is tight and it feels like they packed us in. My overall impression is the place gets a lot of hype but didn't live up to it. I'm not sure that I would go back because there's nothing special about the experience.

We had the most amazing experience at biscuits and buns. The music was on point, Our waitress Cassidy was wonderful and the whole place was a vibe. Cannot recommend enough. This has been the best breakfast we’ve had in New Orleans hands down. The shrimp, catfish and grits were OUT OF THIS WORLD. The depths of flavor in every meal were outstanding. Can’t wait to go back. The service and food were impeccable.

So glad I made it before my trip was over. Food and service was spectacular! I had the oh baby pancakes (Ube) and eggs. They were so good! Pancakes are thick but fluffy, I could only finish half without eating well past my stomachs limit lol. My server was extremely kind and attentive. Would absolutely add this to a must go place anytime I'm in the city. Everyone was so kind and welcoming even though I got there 45 minutes before closing. 10/10 recommend!

Visiting from St. Louis, and I can say the food was amazing. The customer service was top notch, and the vibe while I dined was definitely there. The staff made sure my family we were good our entire visit. I will try and visit whenever I vacation in NOLA.

For Our first time at the location, my 1st time ever in New Orleans this hit the spot , for us the food tells an amazing story through it’s delicious flavors and added hospitality. We both are Chef’s with a business so to be able to sit back and not leave anything on the plate, it truly was just phenomenal. Jaz our server was on it she did not miss a beat. Ms. T offer us this delicious mock tail it was very refreshing. We will definitely be back before leaving and when we bring the family back.

My husband are local but enjoy trying places we haven't been. Having already read up on this place I was excited tp check it out! It absolutely did not disappoint! From the front door with the sweetest hostess to meal it was a great experience! Loved the funky local art, the speed of service. Now let's get to the goods...I chose the chicken & waffle my hubby has swap Omelet. It was the absolutely the best waffle I have ever had! The chicken was so crispy and full of flavor! The Omelet was ok, it lacked in flavor a little but over all worth giving a shot. I will definitely revist!

My cousin and I met Steven and Chrissy at the Hope lodge (a hotel for patients having treatments for cancer) where they taught us how to make biscuits and we had so much fun learning, which was a great distraction considering why we're there. We had a awesome time. I was scheldule for surgery than monday so we decided to go to the Ruby Slipper's that saturday. When I tell you the experience was awesome, it was amazing. The staff and the vibe was so on point, and the food was soooo good. Chrissy when I say mixology she was so on point her drinks was oooo we. Steven even the took time to come greet and take pictures with us. This is one stop I will definitely make when i'm in New Orleans.

The Ruby Slipper has a warm, friendly atmosphere, and the service was honestly the highlight of my visit. The staff was so kind and attentive. My meal was just okay overall. The fried green tomatoes tasted like they had been sitting out for a bit, so they lost some of that crispy freshness I was hoping for. The shrimp and grits had good flavor and a nice presentation, just not quite as rich or bold as I expected for a New Orleans spot. Still, I appreciated the hospitality and laid-back vibe. It’s worth a stop if you’re looking for solid service and classic Southern comfort food.

Absolutely amazing!!! I had the trifecta and it was the best eggs Benedict ive ever had. The St Charles and the Bayou shrimp Benny's were so freaking good! We had a friend in our party with Celiac and allergies and Judit took great care to make sure that she had an amazing meal and experience without worrying about her allergies.

This was a good place to have brunch with the food staples of this area of the country. I liked their biscuits and the French toast bites as well. Food comes out quickly and staff check on you often. I think it's good, yet people give it too much hype and make it sound as the best food you could ever try. This is very sweet and artificially flavored or enhanced flavored food, deep fried, breaded, etc., as many things in the States.

Absolutely LOVED Ruby Slipper. There is nothing I can say that wasn't good about this place. We came early in the morning maybe 9:00 AM to eat something before all of the bachelorette activities we needed to do and it was the best idea ever. I wanted an iced coffee, they gave me a delicious iced coffee. We wanted the banana foster beignets and they gave us the most delicious banana foster beignets I've ever had. (Not that I ever had anything like that before.) My friend ordered the eggs and biscuit, and my other friend and I split the chicken and french toast bites with hot honey. It was delicious! I would say it was a tad pricey, we paid $38 for two small dishes, iced coffee, and tip. I don't know is that an average amount? I feel like in NoLa it is. We were 4 girls, and since there was a little bit of a wait, and we were in a rush, they sat us at the bar, which was great! We loved it. I would love to shout-out our waitress Trish, she was AMAZING! I didn't even write her name down because I knew I would remember her. She gave us other recommendations on where to go during our time there, and she was just so good! She was serving, bar tending, cleaning, getting the check, all at the same time! She did it all!

my husband and I came here on our honeymoon trip as it was recommended by a friend. We shared the Trifecta and the French toast bites! The food was delicious and really great portions. I also got their spiced vanilla latte which was really good. It was pretty cold in the restaurant so bring a jacket if you get cold easily like me but that was my only gripe. Service was awesome everyone was very kind and helpful, I definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in NOLA.

We did Sunday brunch at Ruby Slipper before our flight home, and it was the perfect bow to tie on our NOLA trip! We were seated right away, and the service was full of that classic southern hospitality. The loaded tots (pictured) were surprisingly exceptional, honestly one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever eaten. The biscuits were absolute perfection. Highly recommend this spot for a cozy, flavorful, and genuinely welcoming New Orleans brunch experience!

Atchafalaya was our very first stop in New Orleans. We went straight from the airport, and my only regret is not making a return trip before we left town. This place set the culinary bar high for the rest of our trip! I loved that it’s tucked away from the downtown bustle; it felt like a true neighborhood gem. The gumbo and the shrimp and grits were both hands down the best versions of those dishes we had anywhere in the city. The service was world-class: warm, attentive, and perfectly paced. An absolute must-visit that lives up to the hype! We’ll be back next time we’re in NOLA.

My wife and I walked in for Sunday brunch. We did not have a reservation. It was early afternoon so the wait was not long. We sat at the bar with Ryan and had one of the best brunch experiences in quite some time. The cocktail/wine menu is top notch. Ryan is the bar manager as well, so he curated and created the cocktails on the menu. We had a Good Morning Vietnam bloody mary, a Spanish g & t, and a bubbles and butter. All of them well balanced and delicious. For food we went with Ryan's suggestions of shrimp and grits and the duck hash....so good! I had a cup of gumbo as well, also excellent. We topped off the decadence with a blue cheese panna cotta, don't let the blue cheese scare you, it was ridiculous. We were visiting from AZ but will be back for sure! Highly highly recommend. Oh! One of the very patient and lovely staff crafted a perfect traditional macchiato for me as well :) above and beyond

We arrived for our Saturday brunch reservation about an hour early after a 5 hour drive from Birmingham, AL. When we checked in, we were offered a table at the bar if we didn't want to wait for a dining room table to open. We were seated in about 15 minutes. The service was great from the minute we walked in the door! After doing a little research on Atchafalaya, I realized that the owner Rachael was from Bolton, MA which boarders the small town of Clinton, MA where I grew up. When she stopped by our table to check on us, we had a great conversation about our home towns. She was very friendly. I ordered Tuscan eggs and my wife ordered the special of the day which was a breakfast Quiche and a side of cream cheese grits. We also ordered a boudin sausage to split. For drinks, we ordered a bubbles & butter and a espresso martini. We also ordered a tres leches bread pudding to take back to the hotel after brunch. The food was "out of this world" delicious and very memorable! The boudin was the best I've had. Atchafalaya will be a "must eat there" stop for us every time we return to New Orleans!

My husband and I took a quick trip to New Orleans and wanted to find somewhere really good for dinner. We found this place and it was SO SO good. He got the shrimp and grits and I got red fish. We shared a gumbo also. The atmosphere, service, and food was an 11/10. Go try it!

Amazing neighborhood restaurant that was one of the best dining experiences on this recent trip to NO. The care and warm hospitality was something I haven’t felt in any restaurant anywhere in quite sometime. Food was original and delicious. A must when coming to town. The experience was excellent. Can’t wait to return again. The chef was even walking around dropping food to guests. That’s a team effort!

Me and my friends didn't have reservations, casually hoping to get seats for four. Even after lunch service had ended the staff got us seats. They had some of the best food I had in Louisiana. The shrimp and grits were immaculate.

A wonderful dining experience! Our host was very accommodating and welcoming. Our server, Harold, was friendly and did an excellent job at making us feel at home. My husband and I ordered the fried oysters, a cup of their gumbo, the gulf fish, and the shrimp and grits. We even made room for their bread pudding. Everything was delicious! P.S. - If you are not consuming alcohol, they also provide you with a mocktail menu.

Willa Jean in New Orleans is a very nice breakfast spot with a spacious, clean, and inviting atmosphere. I loved the bakery section and the overall vibes of the restaurant. The food was good — I tried the avocado toast and the crab omelet, both of which were enjoyable. The standout for me was the biscuit: perfectly flaky, buttery, and delicious, easily a 10/10. That said, while everything was solid, it wasn’t quite as mind-blowing as I expected based on all the hype. The avocado toast and omelet were tasty but didn’t leave a lasting impression. Overall, it’s a great spot for breakfast with quality food and a lovely atmosphere, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a must-visit on a New Orleans trip.

Honestly the best brunch I’ve ever had. Everyone is super pleasant, great atmosphere, and delicious food. Save room for the milk and cookies for sure. Such a treat. The chicken and waffles is AMAZING. Michele was a great waitress!

What a fun experience. After a short wait, we made it to our table. The service was prompt and friendly, and the coffees were on the table in no time. Orders were taken, and food arrived in without much of a wait. The others in the group loved their meals and the chicken and waffles were really great. I struggled with the marshmallows melted on the dish and tried to get around them a bit. The chicken was juicy and the batter really lovely, and the waffle was well toasted with pecans and honey. Nothing much to say that was negative. The dining room is very large, and when it is full, as it often is, it gets loud. But that would be the only critique we could make. Parking, if you need it, is challenging. 4 stars, which, using my definition, means “good place, good value”. So, really check it out when you are in town. There are many great-looking dishes on the menu, and I will be back.

Willa Jean is definitely a new favorite. We went for breakfast while visiting N.O. and everything was amazing. We ordered the waffle, the hangover bowl, and the fried chicken sandwich, and all of it was so flavorful. The vibe is bright and welcoming and the staff was super friendly. If you’re in town and looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot, this place is a must. Already looking forward to coming back next trip.

Absolutely loved Willa Jean! The place is beautiful, cozy, and has such a welcoming vibe. Our server was super friendly, which made the experience even better. The food was amazing, we truly loved everything we ordered. The matcha latte and café au lait were both delicious, and we couldn’t resist taking some pastries and cookies to go. They were just perfect, flavorful and not overly sweet. Can’t wait to come back next time!

Really good. The hot honey had a great flavor and wasn't just Dave's Hot honey, it was something else. The biscuit didn't have as much flavor as I thought it would have, but was still good. The cappuccino was better than average.

The service from the host was amazing! They assisted us with our luggage, the wait was quite long but we were able to sit at the bar. Unfortunately, the eggs were cold but it was tasty. I would recommend as the biscuit was delicious.

One of my local friends recommend this place, and I'm so glad they did. The food was amazing, came out quickly, and cooked to perfection. The staff was also super friendly. Definitely will be stopping by next time I'm in town.

We had breakfast everyday here during our recent trip in New Orleans. That tells you how much we loved this place. Great food, superb service, reasonable prices and good vibe. It’s always a bit tricky for vegetarians to find food in the Southern states, but there are a couple of options at this restaurant. They could also do gluten-free buns!

My my my, best chicken and waffles ever. Best fried chicken of my life and them grits.. normally I put salt, pepper and butter on my grits. Don't mess with these grits y'all, they're perfect the way they get dropped on your table. This is your perfect little hole in the wall restaurant that has the most delicious food.

Breakfast this morning was absolutely outstanding! Thank you, Adam and your team for a wonderful dining experience! Definitely will visit again when I’m back in New Orleans. Looking forward to trying other menu options. If they are anything like I experienced this morning, I can’t wait to try them. Thanks again for everything!

The staff at this location is so friendly and attentive! The food was fresh and yummy! And there wasn’t a wait. I love this location!

The place had a nice vibe and the food overall was okay, but we personally didn’t enjoy the waffle and pancake — they had a weird sour taste that wasn’t for us. Everything else was fine, just not quite what we expected from brunch classics.

Great place to get breakfast or brunch in New Orleans. I got the pancake puffs with lemon. I feel like it’s more of a sharing plate, but it’s one of the items on the menu that popped out to me. The lemon sauce was pretty good, I think I prefer beignets over pancake puffs but again it was too cute not to order. I’ll definitely come back and order their savory dishes though.

We are in town for the weekend to watch the Saints vs Patriots game and were trying to find a locally owned establishment to support before heading that way. I got the WhoDat big breakfast while my wife had the Bywater Benè coupled with an iced Matcha latte & let me tell you they DID NOT disappoint! The atmosphere was very chill on a somewhat quiet corner with plenty of street parking nearby. Our server Gary was great! We will definitely be return customers every time we are in town!

Such an amazing place. Truly a neighborhood gem. Craig and the rest of the team at Who DAT deliver on a unique quintessential NOLA experience with great food, service and hospitality. They are happy to accommodate my hubby’s gluten allergy which can be difficult some times. 15/10 stars. Put this on your MUST visit place on your trip to NOLA.

This place was cute and the food was delicious. I loved the service and how quickly I received my food. You will definitely be full and happy when you leave. Great prices

Such a quaint cafe. Off the beaten path but worth the trip. The corn cakes were so good I asked if they had ever considered selling a mix for it, cause I would buy it in bulk. If you have the time make a stop for breakfast or lunch.

Can’t wait to come back already!! Very welcoming staff, inclusive ambiance, and delicious food. Prices are fair and they have a different selection of daily specials everyday. That crawfish omelette was phenomenal… Street parking only and a great brunch option post yoga workout (iykyk). They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Come give them a try, you won’t regret it.

Best brunch in NOLA! I loved those corn cakes so much. Stop in and find out what a “bloody margaret” is.

A great place for a hearty breakfast served with a smile. I had a froed green tomates beignets and it was delicious

12.30.24 came for the first time here--my bf spotted the sign "Please-U" and we decided to stop for lunch. I ordered the chili hotdog po-boy which was pretty good. Don't order the fries--it's a waste of money... -Nuked shoestring fries He ordered a grilled chicken po-boy...and he said he enjoyed it. Maybe one day I'll come back to try one of the lunch specials...after I visit every other place in NOLA, first. 😂

We were looking for a restaurant close by and this came up in our search while on vacation. The food was good and there were no major issues with the service. The food took a bit to come out though. It seems to be more of a local haunt. If you're looking for a typical diner experience this is a good place.

Friendly and helpful staff. I was able to try authentic, delicious and reasonably priced creole comfort food here.

Found this restaurant by happenstance, and I couldn't have been happier: small-town diner feel, locals having lunch, eclectic art on the walls. 10/10 recommend

Small town diner vibes. Excellent gumbo, shrimp po-boys, and chicken fried steak.

An amazing family dinner, classic home soul food. Any kind of food you may want. They make homemade biscuits, breakfast served all day from 7am til 3PM. When you arrive you may see many well known local artists, and influencers of the city eating here. Come enjoy some Greek Nola style dinner food. Great prices too!

I really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and the wonderful service that I got here last December while my wife was recovering from surgery at a nearby hospital. I was reminded about it while watching Hit Man on Netflix today. There's a whole scene in the restaurant and it made me happy!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Service is always charming and quick. The food is on point and there’s something for everyone. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always good and always consistent. Just a solid restaurant with the friendliest staff. I called the other day to warn about bringing a big group. They said no problem, see you soon. All of our food came out so quickly and at the same time. Our server was so attentive and easily handled our big group. Love this place.

Best fried chicken ever! We went on a Saturday and got the Fried Chicken special. It was so much food my husband and I shared it. We got a salad or gumbo, a half of chicken, two sides, and a dessert. All this for such a reasonable price!

We absolutely enjoyed our brunch here last Saturday! The mimosas are made with fresh squeezed orange juice 🍊 Our server was attentive and friendly, and the food came out quickly, hot, and perfectly seasoned. Barely needed the hot sauce! Looking forward to brunching here again soon.

So yummy! We got the coastal , eggs ninth, and vegetarian omelette with fried pickles and sweet potato beignets (non classic, more like a buttermilk drop pancake vibe). All amazing! 10 minute walk from the water!

amazing!! they were packed and still got us in quickly , food didn’t take too long and tasted so so good!! service was also great everyone was so kind. loved it!

Very delicious! It was my first time in Russell's Marina Grill and it did not disappoint. The waitress was very kind and prompt bringing out the items. I will definitely return.

This place was fantastic! My shrimp po boy was perfect and loaded with shrimp. The waitstaff was awesome and the atmosphere was nice and low key. But the food was just really good. Their menu was varied and extensive . My husband had a mishap and fell. They were very concerned and so helpful. I could have gone back there several times. And tried other menu items...they were that good.

Tiny breakfast cafe in Mid city. We didn't show up early enough to avoid the wait. They only have 6 tables or so inside and several picnic tables outside. It was nice enough to sit and enjoy the weather. It was difficult to pick what we wanted. They have traditional style breakfast, eggs, pancakes, meats etc but the specials seem to be the favorites. The breakfast burrito was a popular choice but I got the sandwich and they got the tofu bowl. The sandwich was basic, but damn good. I like their sourdough and may buy some of their starter at another visit. The tofu bowl was equally excellent. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. It was a bit spicier than we were expecting with the jalapenos, but in a good way. It was busy but the staff was doing their best to keep everyone happy and satisfied.

We were in town from Mobile Al to see the Red Clay Strays in concert. Two words.......simply amazing! The food, the service, and the atmosphere was simply amazing. We had the OG bowl and a side of Cajun Hash. I highly recommend having breakfast here. We will be back!

Been here twice now and had an awesome experience. I had the young blonde lady as my server and she was welcoming, attentive, and fast. The vanilla and caramel iced coffee I got was 10/10. The food was fresh, and the service was great. I will definitely be returning soon.

Looking to enjoy bacon and breakfast in a cozy restaurant. Here's the place. Great food and customer service. Place where the locals eat so pricing is reasonable. A nice variety of breakfast items to choose from. Great for families, friends or just eating solo. Normally crowded so be prepared to wait for a table. Enjoy!

5/19/24: I didn’t get a chance to try the food but the customer service was top notch. The restroom was clean and fully stocked with tissue and hand soap. The seating area inside is a bit quaint but there is also covered seating outside with large fans. Of course, the building is in great New Orleans fashion with the art and wild array of colors! I’ll be back soon to taste the food! 5/20/24: update with food pictures and food review. Bill waited on me and he was a pleasure. I went around 1p so there wasn’t a rush and it was pretty quiet, which I prefer honestly. I tried a light meal, the heart healthy omelette and it came with the Cajun smash hash as a side. It was definitely light as 30 minutes later, I don’t feel bogged down or nauseous. The Cajun smash hash was probably a 6/10 to me but not horrible. The lemonade is half the price of the orange sauce but was a bit too sweet for me..but no worries, I cut it with my water. Also, I ordered some fruit which was fresh and yummy. It came out to $26 and some change and I tipped of course. I highly recommend this place! Parking is a little tricky in this area because it’s residential but it’s New Orleans so if you’re a local, you already know the drill!

Wakin’ Bakin’ – A Quaint Breakfast Gem in New Orleans Wakin’ Bakin’ is a cute, quaint spot in New Orleans that we stumbled upon while looking for a new breakfast place to try. Located downtown, it’s a charming little restaurant with great food. We had breakfast, and I have to say the grits were amazing, and the biscuits were just as delicious. The poached eggs were perfectly scrumptious and velvety. My only complaint would be the coffee – at $5 a cup, it wasn’t great and could use some improvement. That aside, the service was good, with servers who seemed like easygoing owners. Overall, a great spot for breakfast, just skip the coffee!

Food not great, especially for New Orleans where food is legendary and major tourism revenue. I would go in for 4 dollar coffee, but the FOOD was most basic IHOP-made from box pancakes, stale turkey bacon AND twice/ three times the price. Coming from DC, not impressed.

Staff was extremely helpful with the recommendations and pleasant to talk to. Food was amazing and the coffee was on point!

This has to be me & my partners favorite breakfast spots. Simple & so much flavor. I get the bacon taco & it never disappoints. But if your looking for grits, get there early bc unfortunately every time we go they never have any! Overall amazing.

Great tacos, pastries (options for vegan/vegetarian), coffee and teas! The food is fairly priced and the tacos are filled well. The atmosphere is relaxing, and our cashier, Solomon, was cool and helpful. They also use compostable straws and to-go boxes! Ordered the standard egg taco and a tofu taco, the mushroom/sweet potato savory pastry, and an iced latte. All were very tasty

This is a cute neighborhood place, nice size patio, food is well seasoned, I ordered a curry chicken sandwich, they are out of bread, so they gave me a salad instead; but half of the salad leave is black and already gone bad. I am sure they don’t intent to do that, but oh well, they do need to check the quality of the salad and make sure they are fresh. To me, that’s the problem of a lot of neighborhood small, family run, hole in wall place, they are friendly, interesting, but the food quality is not consistent and lacks certain standard. All in all, still worth to give a try.

Staff were so friendly. Breakfast sandwich was huge and delicious. Iced coffee tasted amazing. Worth the stop!

Go-to neighborhood hangout. They have only outdoor seating since the pandemic started, with a subway style ordering window. It's mostly ok, given the May weather. The nice staff makes ordering a joy. Fresh pastries and a good variety of inventive drinks make things interesting. The people are the draw, as folks meet and greet at the tables and in front. Very fun to experience.

Pagoda Cafe has been on my list as a place to visit for several years. I was just never near the location during their opening hours. Apparently, it’s not been long since they reopened post pandemic. You order at the window and when your order is ready, they bring the food to a particular table and call your name. All seating is outdoor. I particularly enjoyed the mango lassi and the guava cream cheese puffs; although, I was puzzled as to why they called them “puffs” when there was only one. I wish there would have been something me mention that the sweet potato, mushroom and brown rice turnover was spicy, because nothing led me to that conclusion when I ordered the item. Some may have found the spiciness a pleasant surprise, but I didn’t. I found both turnovers lacking in flakiness, good, but not excellent.

Visited new Orleans and decided to check this place out, it was packed to capacity!! We figured the food must be to die for, we waited almost an hour for our drink order to be taken, the longest I've ever waited, hands down. The food came, I got chicken and waffles and a side of corn bread. The chicken was delicious, my waffle was too dry to finish, the corn bread was ok. Was it worth the 2 hr 30 mins spent there? Certainly not. But the staff was sweet and very apologetic for the long wait.

Amazing homemade southern food! Small cozy joint you'll love!! The corn waffles are to die for and could literally be a meal itself and the chicken and waffles are legit out of this world! Will definitely be back soon!!

The chicken and waffles here are exquisite! The chicken is so amazingly seasoned and the waffle is big and soft. They give a complimentary cornbread at the start of your meal, and it's shaped like a waffle. It's the best cornbread I've ever had! So delicious!

On our recent girls trip, we had the pleasure of having brunch here. The food was great and our cook/waitress was fantastic. We will visit again when we come back to NOLA!!!!

Great experience. Good staff. The food was great! I'm from the south and so I know good chicken and cornbread and this place got both! Great job!

Only come here if you want to get addicted! The Mac n cheese can substitute my mom’s! The hash browns were perfectly crisp and topped with freshly cut tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Wash everything down with some homemade tea and you will want to hug Renee on a job well done!

They say a dirty kitchen makes the best food. And it is good food. We were they shortly after opening and for a table of five with only bout six other adults in it did take awhile for us to get our food. Whichever meal you get skip the toast & pay the extra buck for their cornbread. Waffles were excellent too.

The food was good, and the service was absolutely spectacular. What really sets this place apart is the setting—eating in such a historic location made the whole experience feel special. While the food was a little overpriced, I still think it’s worth checking out. Overall, a great place to eat and enjoy the atmosphere. I’d recommend it!

Pierre Maspero’s – A True New Orleans Treasure Since 1788 Dining at Pierre Maspero’s is like stepping back in time while savoring the authentic flavors that make New Orleans cuisine legendary. As one of the city’s oldest restaurants, this historic gem offers not only incredible food but also an atmosphere rich with charm and Southern hospitality. Our meal reflected the very essence of traditional New Orleans gourmet. The Blackened Redfish, made with fresh Louisiana red drum and seasoned to perfection with Cajun spices, was simply outstanding. Served with French fries, flavorful jambalaya, and topped with jumbo lump crabmeat, it was a dish that beautifully balanced spice, texture, and local flair. The Blackened Chicken Alfredo Pasta was equally satisfying—tender chicken over perfectly cooked fettuccine tossed in a creamy, decadent Alfredo sauce that added a comforting richness to the meal. The Crescent City Sampler offered the best of New Orleans classics in one plate, featuring Cajun jambalaya, red beans and rice, and chicken & andouille gumbo—each bite full of authenticity and bold Creole flavor. The staff truly elevated the experience. They were courteous, attentive, and delightfully funny, adding a personal touch that made our evening even more enjoyable. The lively atmosphere—with a perfect mix of history, laughter, and Louisiana charm—made it easy to see why Pierre Maspero’s continues to be a favorite among locals and visitors alike. If you’re visiting New Orleans, Pierre Maspero’s is an absolute must. It’s more than just a meal—it’s an experience steeped in history, heart, and unforgettable flavor.

We ended up here by fluke because the place we originally planned to go was closed for a private event and I am so glad it happened! We ordered blackened redfish and veggie Alfredo pasta and both were absolutely amazing. Fish was super fresh and we enjoyed every bite. The bread pudding at the end was spot on too. The food was so good that we didn’t leave a single crumb. Definitely a 5-star experience. I will be visiting this place again !!

Had the 4-dish sampler and each item was very good. The jambalaya though, had to be the best. Incredibly filling and delicious food! I got the bread pudding to go and I was disappointed by the lack of whipped cream on the bread pudding. The front door is open though, so it is very loud. They get very busy, so the service can be improved.

Had the blackened redfish with jambalaya and roasted veggies on the recommendation of Shelly our waitress. It was by far the best Cajun dish I had in New Orleans. We had an outstanding meal with a vegetarian friendly off menu Po boy for my wife. Shout out to Shelly for the personal service and charm that she brought to our evening and compliments to the Chef!

I got the Andouille and Eggs and it was incredible. Heavy, but so good. The waitstaff were very friendly and my server was impeccable. I will definitely be returning.

Loved this place! I ordered the fish po-boy and my son ordered the shrimp. My wife ordered the seafood potpie. The food was delicious. Especially the bread pudding for dessert. We actually tried bread pudding at 3 other restaurants around NOLA and theirs was by far the best in town. My only complaint is the po-boys were supposed to come with Tabasco mayo but there wasn't any on either po boy. I had to ask the waitress for some. Even without the mayo the po-boys were delicious but the mayo did make it better. We loved the bread pudding so much we stopped in on our last day in NOLA just for dessert. I wish there was a Pierre Maspero near us. Or some way to have that bread pudding shipped here.

On our last day in New Orleans, and everyone wanted breakfast. The grits—did not disappoint! I won’t give away the secret ingredient… you’ll have to taste them for yourself. The food was amazing, and the service matched it perfectly. We had originally stopped by the Bourbon Street location, but it wasn’t open, and this spot was recommended instead. I’m actually glad it worked out that way—otherwise, we might have missed this wonderful dining experience in such a charming, quaint location.

Loved the ambience. The live music adds a nice touch to the entire environment. The Beignets were definitely nice, fluffy and warm. The coffee served here has chicory that adds a very unique flavour that is known to Indians as 'filter coffee' and also adds to the thickness of the coffee.

Great little spot in French quarter. Pastries and coffee. Beignet are a New Orleans must try. 3 pack for good price. Made fresh and covered with powdered sugar. Atmosphere is part of the experience.

I will take these over the Cafe Du Monde every single day. They are a thicker version with all kinds of options. These were a pecan and caramel and I could have eaten the cardboard boat. Great location and not as crowded. Right next to the police pct too. Bring your appetite and definitely make this a stop

OK, I had a southern breakfast which was good. The eggs were OK at atmosphere was nice. Everybody seemed like they were happy and the beignets are absolutely delicious. They make them hot and I think that’s what makes a difference than eating a cold one. Overall, this is the place for beignets and I would highly recommend.

The best delicious break on a cold windy day. Warm greeting, fresh hot coffee, freshly cooked hot beignets (huge!) and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Deserves to be the fav coffee & beignet spot in New Orleans. So much better than today’s Cafe du Monde!

Loved this cute cafe it is the cutest French-inspired decor. Loved the cute French table and chairs. Loved the variety of coffee options and the huge delicious beignets. OMG, the beignets are hands down the best I have had this week. I love the setting. It is a small place but I loved watching people/families/friends enjoying themselves. 😊 ☺️ ❤️

We came early for breakfast to avoid the lines and were seated promptly. Diesel was fantastic and answered any questions we had about the menu or drinks. She made us feel at home and was friendly joking around with us and making sure we had everything we needed during our meal. The food and drinks were great and the vibe of the entire place was fun. Spaghetti was also working and contributed alot to the fun atmosphere making diners feel at ease. When in NOLA be sure to check it out. Very cute cozy space.

If you're in New Orleans and looking for an incredible breakfast spot, Jimmy J’s is an absolute must! From the moment we walked in, we felt the warm and inviting energy of this gem. Our server, Disel, was fantastic—polite, friendly, and incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Now, let’s talk about the food—every single bite was pure bliss! We ordered the Western Omelet, Breakfast Burrito, and Cheese Grits, and they did not disappoint. The omelet was perfectly fluffy and packed with flavor, the burrito was hearty and smothered in delicious sauce, and the cheese grits were the definition of Southern comfort. But the home fries—oh wow! They were so flavorful and crispy that we didn't even think about reaching for the ketchup. To top it all off, we sipped on Peach Long Island, Hurricane, and Sweet Tea—a perfect blend of refreshing and bold flavors that complemented our meal beautifully. Jimmy J’s captures the true essence of NOLA hospitality and flavor. If you’re in town, do yourself a favor and check them out. Five stars all the way!

I am from OKLAHOMA. I am in NOLA for a conference with Chi Eta phi Sorority Inc. We stopped in for Brunch!! It was the best ever!! Thank you Marilyn for your excellent customer service💚💛💚💛. the shrimp and grits were delicious!! Perfectly cooked😊

Very good food. Enjoyed the shrimp French toast, although I would have preferred less sauce. Very limited seating. Servers are friendly, but seemed to have a lot to do so couldn't be as attentive as they'd like to be.

Stopped for breakfast. Ordered French Toast with bacon and my wife ordered small order of Sausage and Biscuits. Weird gravy and sausages in gravy not white with sausage cut up in the gravy.

I stopped in for a quick cheesy shrimp omelette. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I really thought it would have more flavor. It tasted exactly like it sounds. I just thought there would be some New Orleans zip to it for some reason. The waitress was really cool. They accidentally sent my food to a different customer, so it took a while longer, but that didn’t matter. I ate out on the street. That was cool. The next time I’m in New Orleans, I will give this place a second try and try something else.

The food is great nice portions and home town service. Breakfast all day.

food was absolutely delectable! the shrimp and grits were packed with so much flavor, this is a must try for sure. the ricotta and peach was also very tasty, with the spicy cheese and fresh peaches. the potatoes were okay, nothing crazy. service was slow and food took quite a while. the decor is super cute and overall would recommend!

The main reason I came to NOLA this year with my friends was to eat at Cafe Amelie. I must do it each time I visit. When I first visited the establishment years and years ago, I fell in love with the courtyard and the vibe it provided... Especially with the fountain. To my surprise, the restaurant moved and no longer has the beautiful courtyard. However they do have a cute little outdoor area in the back. But it's not the same :/ I hope they re-form in the previous location. Food was great. As always.

This was SOOOO good. I mean we knew going into it it was going to be that way bc they were PACKED on Sunday night. Had the chicken breast entree and it was perfect and they’re reputable for it and for right reasons! Also the spinach artichoke dip was good for appetizer. I missed entree pic and mocktail but mocktail was great too and not like sugary but tasted great.

I’d been wanting to try Café Amelie for a while, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The food and service were fantastic from start to finish. The courtyard was beautifully decorated for Halloween, and all the staff were in full clown makeup—it added such a fun, festive touch without taking away from the great dining experience. Food and drinks were both on point. The house special blackberry whiskey cocktail was a standout. The beet salad and BLT were excellent, and the pork sandwich—the cochon—was absolutely loaded with tender, flavorful pork. Perfect mix of charm, creativity, and great food. Definitely worth the wait!

I am still sitting in the restaurant and had to leave a review! The food here is SO GOOD! I wanted some real shrimp and grits as we can’t get it in northern Indiana. It was delicious! And my husband had the chicken, which he loved, and an affogato, which you can’t get many places. The cafe is adorable and the staff is super nice. Highly recommend!

Didn’t have a reservation but got seated right away. Cozy atmosphere and stylish, with wait staff very helpful. Tastes were out of this world wonderful.

I came from New York to celebrate my birthday here in NOLA I chose Cafe Amelie for my birthday dinner and it was great , it passed my expectations. Staff were very attentive at all times, food tastes so delicious. Our water was Alex( I believe that is how you spell it older lady with glasses) but she was super amazing, so kind she really ended my day beautifully teaching me about the beautiful culture here in New Orleans.

Amazing food and Amazing service! Our server Q was nice, funny, informative, really made the whole experience. I got the Bloody Mary and crawfish omelet. Can’t wait to come back and try more. Also the coffee was perfect please try the caramel iced latte!

*10 October 2025* Visiting from Atlanta. Me and my friend dined just in time because the line was out the door once we finished our meal. My food was good, but I'm not a big fan of boudin sausage -- that's just me and my taste buds that don't agree with the flavor. My scrambled eggs, grits, biscuit, and OJ were good, though. Whenever I'm back in NOLA, I'll definitely try this place again, but will get something different instead.

Great place to have breakfast or lunch, clean cozy atmosphere with great music jazz — Many delicious menu options to please almost any pallet, unsweetened iced tea. — Grilled chicken breast salad was amazing service friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Thank you. Back again - breakfast is amazing!

First time eating here, after being in New Orleans for 2 days. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of both the food and coffee. I had the Creole Country breakfast, and a latté. The Creole Breakfast consists of eggs your way, smoked boudin, a biscuit, and a side of grits. The Smoked Boudin had a great flavor and I really enjoyed it. The grits as well we're flavorful and a nice accompaniment to the dish. The biscuits were fresh, crispy and soft and on the inside. The latté was made right in front of us at the bar, and it was expertly prepared by Frankie at the bar. We had a great time, and we would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice dine in spot for breakfast.

Arrived early (8:30ish) on a Sat morning and was thankful to be allowed seating on the balcony. Friendly service, some food items were not as warm as they should have been, but tasted good. Came back the next morn' and dined inside, GREAT service and DELICIOUS cheese grits! All food was perfectly hot this visit. We will return on future trips into town!

Our meal at Café Fleur de Lis was nothing short of outstanding! We only waited about 10 minutes for a table, and it was well worth it. On our server’s recommendation, I went with the étouffée omelette (torn between that and the crab & shrimp eggs Benedict), and it was absolutely the right call. My husband ordered the pancakes and declared, “these are the best pancakes I’ve ever had.” He’s never said that before, so I know he meant it! We were traveling with our 10-month-old, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They accommodated our request for balcony seating, even offering to keep an eye on the stroller while we ate. Our little one loved the food too, especially the grits, though the pancakes definitely stole the show. Thank you, Café Fleur de Lis, for making our last meal in New Orleans such a memorable and exceptional experience. We’ll be back on our next trip!

The scrambled eggs are the worse I ever had—dry and basically an omelette cut into pieces to resemble scrambled eggs. I actually sent the first batch back and requested soft scrambled eggs. Nope. The same as before but I think even worse. The sausage was also dry and burned on one side. The grits were delicious. The bacon was okay as well as the pancakes. Probably the shrimp and grits would’ve been a better meal choice because the grits are delicious.

We enjoyed all the food. The crab cakes are a whole nother level. The jalapeno coleslaw is amazing with them. I had shrimp Creole and it did not disappoint. Husband had the shrimp platter

This was a great find. Close to my hotel and they have a Happy hour Monday to Friday 3-6. The happy hour menu includes $1.50 oysters, so i had to be there! I love oysters!!! And they have so many options to close from, 6 ways too be exact. All very good. I loved chargrilled, must try. Of course the raw is a classic. I sat at the bar so i got to see the action, they chuck them right there! The staff was great, very friendly. I had a dirty martini, not great but it was ok. Their blackberry brumble was great. I also had Boudin boulettes, a must try, they were great. And for dinner i had their jambalaya pasta, which was great but it was not as hot as i would've liked. It really wasn't hot at all which is why they lost a star. It was a busy night, food took a while so it should've been hot. That was disappointing but it was still very good.

This was our first trip to the New Orleans downtown scene and made this our first restaurant stop. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. The service was excellent and we had a great time. I had the jambalaya with the chicken wings and they were fried to perfection. Will certainly go back again

I had the blackened chicken & shrimp jambalaya. It was very dry. Others in the party had po-boys and fries. The bread was hard, but the fries were good. The adult beverages though were really good and made the more enjoyable. Our sever, Jade was good too.

Amazing tasting food, a especially friendly service and a nice surroundings, that's what you want for enjoying your time i a Restaurant. Everything you will find here. The Kambalaya tastes amazing, the Duck and Andullie was good but the best was the Crawfish Étouffée. So i can really recommend this if you want good and tasty food.

The customer service was excellent! I wish I could remember our severs name. I think it was Matthew, but I am probably completely wrong. The chicken was delicious. Was waffle could use a little work. Overall, it was a good experience.

Let me first say, the atmosphere and the taste of the food was so amazing!! I was really excited to try the crab claws after reading so many reviews about them online. The sauce was TO DIE FOR. My only disappointment was that I only got five tiny claws in a $20 dish. Because I thought this was a mistake, I asked my server and she said it was correct ‘because it’s based on the weight’. Many photos online show anywhere from 15-20 claws, which is why I felt mine was a fluke. Either way, the taste was out of this world, so maybe I’m just upset I didn’t have more! lol My sister ordered the shrimp po-boy and it was OVERLOADED with shrimp. So so good!!

This place was an amazing. The food and service was great. It was so good that we did it two mornings in a row! We had already started eating before I remembered to take pictures!

Rolled into NOLA for a work conference and it is HOT. But I didn’t want my first meal here to be in the hotel, so I was delighted to find this spot a three-minute walk from the Sheraton. The catfish po boy (fully dressed, of course) was perfection, and the sweet potato fries were a cut above. Great atmosphere, too.

We were in New Orleans for a 4-day vacation and ended up at Majoria’s Commerce Restaurant for breakfast on 3 of those mornings — that alone should tell you how much we loved it! The food was consistently great, and the service was warm, friendly, and welcoming every time. The star of the show, though, has to be their butter biscuits. Hands down, the best we’ve ever had in our lives. My friend and I even joked (only half-joking!) that we’d fly back to New Orleans just for another biscuit. If you’re in the city and looking for a true breakfast gem, Majoria’s Commerce should be at the top of your list.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wow 🤩 Got a private tour of this amazing brunch spot last night when they were closed- this place has been here since 1965!!! Highly recommend when in New Orleans! I had the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit with a side of breakfast potatoes with jalapeños and onions…. The biscuits are made from scratch daily, as is the dumplings, desserts, gravy, cookies etc! Of course, I had an Iced Chai Tea Latte ☕️ MUST TRY 💛💚💜 ⚜️SUPPORT LOCAL⚜️

2 days in a row came over here for breakfast and was not disappointed. One day was a sit-down full breakfast at the bar while the other one was a to go breakfast sandwich. Both were phenomenal, especially the homemade biscuits with scrambled eggs. Great people carrying on the neighborhood breakfast and lunch tradition at this diner. Highly recommend.

Best breakfast i had in New Orleans with amazing service. Tried a few dishes and they were all very flavorful. On weekends, they have shrimp and grits!

A perfect way to wrap up our NOLA trip. We stopped in for breakfast before checking out of the Eliza Jane Hotel and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was delicious, the coffee was excellent, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The space has such a timeless charm; it's not old, yet it somehow makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. Loved the atmosphere and the inviting interior. A wonderful dining experience all around.

This place saved me with amazing GF gumbo and herbed GF toast! I was struggling in New Orleans, where much of the food is fried or otherwise gluten contaminated. I walked into the outdoor French Market and found this stall; Meals From the Heart. I was saved! The gumbo was full of chicken and sausage and shrimp and made me so happy I almost wept. Thank you, sweet lady at the counter, for saving me from the prospect of my choking down another GF protein bar.

This is a market style place, but they have an amazing vegan menu and I only wish I was hungrier. Being in New Orleans I thought I better have the Okra Gumbo which was delicious. Not the sort of thing I’d normally order and I fought the urge to go one of the amazing looking Po-boys, but glad I did! It was delicious, and light, and the small was perfect as a snack, especially accompanied by the amazing Bloody Mary, which was LOADED with edible garnishes. Loved it and the atmosphere of the market was perfect for a quick pit stop in New Orleans.

People, just do yourself a favour and go to this place! Delicious food, delicious drinks, super friendly service! We were there twice - it was that good! Also that was definitely the best Bloody Mary I've ever had! The crab cakes were absolutely delicious!

I was so excited to find New Orleans food that was vegan! I ordered the vegan Po Boy & it was amazing. My husband ordered the regular one & also loved his. We actually had to go up & ask which one was vegan since they both looked so similar. We got vegan beignets that were life changing. I wish we lived closer so I could eat here all the time!

Some of the best vegan food I've ever had. I got the sweet potatoes, sweet heat cauliflower, red beans and rice, and bread pudding for dessert. It was all fantastic, but the red beans and rice were the star of the show. I was in vegan heaven! The staff were also very friendly, and the food was reasonably priced.

Loved the various gluten-free options at this restaurant. I went with the po-boy Philly style sandwich and it was awesome! I also enjoyed a hurricane drink which was great, too.

We LOVED our food at Meals From The Heart Cafe! The vegan gumbo, beans, spicy sausage, crab cake po boy and beignets were excellent. So flavorful, delicious. The food tasted like love, and the service was kind. Bonus that it’s next to a cute flea market and park.

We loved everything about this place!! Our service was not confined to our server, but the entire team taking care of our hospitality. Everyone checked on us, helped with refills, removed empty plates, and all with big, beaming smiles! Our order included a house basil-cucumber lemonade, Papa’s French Toast, and Farmhouse Omelet with potatoes and a side of sour dough bread. The portions were larger than we expected which was so nice! In addition to our amazing food and service, the atmosphere is lively, the music is upbeat, and the decor is the cutest! We will certainly return when we visit NOLA again!

Decided to detour into New Orleans on a road trip back to TX with my daughters. We wanted real, local, breakfast at a reasonable price without spending the whole day waiting to eat in NO. This place was perfect! It was easy enough to find, the service was wonderful and even being from the south… they were the best grits I’ve EVER had! Would’ve happily paid twice as much but glad we didn’t have to! Gave it to our waitress instead!

BEST breakfast I’ve had on my trip! My family and I aren’t local and were looking for a home style breakfast; this place checked all of the boxes. Everything was fresh and super yummy. The staff was VERY attentive and super nice! Not to mention it was decorated SO nice, very homey. Would definitely recommend for your breakfast needs.

The food is excellent! And they give you plenty! I had the shrimp and grits,so flavorful and such a generous portion! A gentleman in the restaurant shared with me that he had a made-to-order omelet and had enough left over to have for breakfast the next day (and it was very tasty! )! The servers were very nice and attentive. The prices very exceptionally reasonable given the quality and taste of the meal and the portion size.

Found this place during a work trip to New Orleans. Let's just say we went back 4 more times that week while we were in town. Quiet, Cozy & Delicious food that comforts the soul. Definitely recommending to anyone visiting to try. The Grits bowl was my favorite since we been on a health kick, but ended the trip with the Traditional Benedict and French Toast for a nice cheat day. Thank you again.

First restaurant I’ve eaten at in New Orleans and I have to say… this place was absolutely adorable. The waitress was sweet and very prompt. The food proportions were much bigger than i anticipated and well worth the amount you pay!

Delicious Lunch at Two Chicks Café We had lunch at this café and it was truly a delightful experience. We ordered the Thai Shrimp Poboy, the Kickin' Chicken Omelet, and a Banana Split Smoothie—all of which were absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were spot on. The Thai Shrimp Poboy had the perfect balance of spice and freshness, while the Kickin' Chicken Omelet was hearty and flavorful. The smoothie was a sweet and refreshing treat to round out the meal. The café itself has a great vibe....warm, welcoming, and relaxed. The atmosphere added so much to the overall experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We loved everything about this place: the food, the staff, and the cozy ambiance. Definitely a spot we'd love to come back to. Highly recommended 🤗

Mixed emotions about the visit. Took almost an hour for my pancakes when there was only one other table of two in the building which already had their food and the manger sent the server into the bathroom to me on the toliet to get my order instead of waiting for me to return to the table.The bathrooms were also nasty. On the contrary the pancakes were really good….

The food was delicious. My husband had the Waffle Combo. I had the Pancake Combo. Our server was great. She was nice and checked in on us to make sure we had refills and to see if we needed anything. The decor in the restaurant was really cool. It's a collection of antique doors, old gates, shutters and frames from New Orleans. Also if you are a Andy Griffith Show fan you'll appreciate the photo in the back. It's of Hal Smith, he was The Pancake Man for IHOP in the late 50's and early 60's. It was a children's show sponsored by IHOP.

As soon as my friends and I walked in we were greeted by 3 employees and all had smiles on their faces. Our server Alicia was amazing! We had a couple of requests and she came through and our meal was so good!!! We left full and happy. Thanks for treating us so kind .

We stayed upstairs at an airb&b and came down to IHOP for breakfast. I cannot speak more highly of the staff. Our waiter, the waitress and the manager were all so helpful and friendly. And the food was great, and also reasonably priced for being in a tourist area. They are doing something right there becase the clients AND the staff all seem happy. I stopped by to grab a cup of coffee as we checked out at 6am and even those employees were pleasant and helpful. Great job!!!

I'll start with the bad there was only manager, 1 server, and 1 cook. I understand it's a Monday night but in a city as busy as this one with the location being on one of the busiest streets, come on🙄. The bathrooms also need some serious attention. The stall doors look like they've clearly been kicked in a time or two. Also, I'm pretty mad that a single glass of chocolate milk was $7. That's wild. Now the good, our sever was an older lady with red hair and she was so unbelievably sweet. Even with the chaos going on of a bunch of tables all at once she kept her composure and got everyone their food. The location itself was nice as well. The music was a bit loud but it's really cozy in here. I would definitely come back but I would definitely skip the chocolate milk lol.

Spend a 3 night Caesar's Reward Air trip in NOLA which is about a 15 minute walk or so from the casino to IHOP. It is 24/7 and some of the tables were put up as the crew were cleaning during the slow time...we were the only ones there. The wife ordered cinnamon roll strawberry crepes...huge portion and looked amazing. I ordered a burger and out of the three I had on the trip this was the best one. The other two were Bobby's Burgers and Burger Bar on Canal. Both were good though. Worth the stop if you are avoiding the more expensive places around. They were very helpful while discussing my wife's garlic intolerance as well.

Picked up to go order and we didn't have silverware, napkins, syrup, butter, or a whole order of turkey sausage. Went to the store later after calling and being told it would be made right..... only to be offered silverware for our breakfast from hours before that we couldn't eat half of and the parts we did have weren't impressive. Do not recommend. Go somewhere else.

This cafe was right next to our hotel, and we ended up having breakfast here for 4 days in a row! It seemed to be a local favorite and had a great, cozy vibe to it. We ended up trying a variety of things veggie paninis, breakfast bagels, apple pie and everything was fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

Un lugar cerca de todo, rico, no muy costosos. Y con un chocolate caliente delicioso ☕️ (su torta de chocolate super recomendado). The food is super delicious, the service is not to mention the people are super friendly, and it's super close to the French market. Highly recommended.

Place is beautiful inside and outside, food doesn’t have anything special as I thought it could since the place is so cute, and located in a nice calm corner. Service at the cashier was a little weird. I wouldn’t come back, but I think is a cute beautiful infrastructure and design.

FAITH!! My girl Faith was the best experience about the place, an everything in there is great! So that says a lot. She's just a genuinely good person with a dope Vibe!! Her vibe was so infectious I forgot my card in the card machine. Called back she knew exactly who I was and held my card for me. If you haven't experience this place yet, do yourself a favor and try the drinks and pastries most definitely the chocolate is great. Faith Vibe honestly made me feel welcomed. For that, I'm internally grateful

Great atmosphere. Coffe was on point breakfast was awesome.

As a local, this is my favorite coffee shop in the city. They are typically busy mornings/weekends (as is every place in the quarter), so plan accordingly, but the wait is worth it. They have a LOT of coffee and food options, so you're sure to find something you're into. The staff is also extremely kind and efficient. Even if the line is long, it'll go pretty fast. The indoor/outdoor seating is really awesome.

Ample seating, including at the bar. Some fun day drinks and excellent regular coffees. Their espresso did the job very well. Food options are plenty and also tasty. Reasonable prices and clean restroom!

It's been about 7 years since the last time we ate here. The food was good. Not sure if a rush had just left but nobody else was there the whole time ,which was strange..

Beautiful breakfast and brunch place. Good food and unique individual design. Set in one of my favorite NOLA neighborhoods far away from all the touristy places.

It's a small place and I think that works for this restaurant. The Chicken and Waffles with hot honey was excellent. My wife had the Basic Breakfast, and it's looked good. The bloody may was ok and had too much horseradish for my liking. I prefer spicy but not fishy, and this was on the fishy side. While this place uses exported crawfish, I appreciate that being on the menu.

Don’t miss out! I just got back from New Orleans and hit up many restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I happen to have a gluten allergy, and I was with a friend who is a vegetarian. Going out for a Southern breakfast was a series of the two of us deconstructing the menu and leaving disappointed. Well, not the case at Horns! First of all, the place is decorated with fun, quirky art, a lot of which I noticed, was for sale! Next, the people who worked there were friendly. Which sadly was not the case in many places. Our food was delicious, perfect, plentiful, reasonably priced and piping hot. Make sure you come by there and enjoy a real good breakfast or lunch- you’ll want to go back- I do!

Went here for breakfast/brunch as it had good reviews and was near our hotel. It's a sort of serve yourself sort of place... very casual. But the staff is very nice and the food was quite tasty. I opted for the Cuban sandwich with fries. The place was clean and not overly crowded when we went. But there were only maybe 15 or so tables. I liked the food and I'd go here again if I'm in this area.

We had a simple breakfast. French toast with fruits and Eggs with bacon and pancakes. Food was as good as breakfast can be, simple! The coffee was also good. This place gives a real homey feeling. It was very busy. The food came out barely warm. But overall, I would definitely go here again. Friendly staff 😊

My husband and I were visiting NOLA and staying at an Airbnb walking distance away. Had breakfast there 2 days in a row. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food was fresh and hot. I enjoyed the creations in the walls and the pottery above the coffee. We especially enjoyed the home like feeling of the atmosphere and the small town feel as we walked in. We’d definitely recommend stopping in for a meal.

Cute little place! Server was great, very friendly and super attentive. Coffee always was kept full! The crepes were delicious and I loved that the server recommended adding bacon to the French toast, it was so sweet I needed the salty bacon to break it up. My only complaint was the French toast was huge, a smaller size served with something to break up the sweet would have been better.

This breakfast restaurant is a gem! They offer a great variety of options, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The French toast was fluffy, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced with sweetness. The chicken and waffles were another highlight—the chicken had an amazing crunch with tons of flavor, and the spicy butter that came with it was fantastic. The waffles themselves were light and tasty, making the whole dish come together perfectly. To top it off, the mimosa was fresh, flavorful, and poured just right. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for a delicious breakfast or brunch!

Visited New Orleans and found this place. The food was amazing, our waitress was super nice and friendly. We sat outside because we had a dog which the tables were a little small and so was the space but that was more due to the sidewalk not the resteraunts fault. I would def go back if we ever visit again.

Excellent find on the south edge of the Quarter. My omelette was large and fluffy. The puffed pancakes (can't recall what they're actually called) were good, but the lemon curd topping was superb. Waitress was friendly, cute, and efficient.

Brilliant food! Was one of the best breakfasts we have EVER had! Amazing and delicious french toast, round pancakes and eggs Nothing like we’ve ever tried

I came here twice while visiting for breakfast. It was close to where I was staying and had great options for variety. I sat outside with my group of friends the first time and sat at the counter the second by myself. Both times the service was prompt and helpful. Easy 5 stars from me!

such a adorable little place! the staff rom start to finish were sweet and attentive, it’s a small cafe but they have great seating. food took MAYBE 10 minutes after ordered and it’s was HEAVENLY. We’re just tourist but definitely a wonderful spot for savory and sweet breakfast foods! (i got the coconut stuffed french toast)

We visited Satsuma Café in the Bywater on a friend’s recommendation, and what a hidden gem it is! Tucked away in a quiet corner, this café offers both delicious food and a peaceful, cozy vibe. I have a nut allergy and was relieved to find the staff incredibly accommodating. They took extra care to make sure my meal was prepared safely and without cross-contamination. My son had his eye on the green eggs and ham, but it came with a basil pesto made with pine nuts—so we flagged that early and they were very careful from there on out. I ended up ordering the burrito—the salsa that comes with it ties everything together beautifully! My family also enjoyed a pancake and a croissant egg and cheese sandwich, both of which were big hits. We sat outside in the courtyard, which was quiet and quaint, with birds hopping between the plants and trees. It felt like a little oasis in the city. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot with great food and staff who truly care, Satsuma is a must-visit in New Orleans.

The staff is awesome. As an out-of-towner, were friendly and patient with me, and I saw them show the same grace to everyone. I had the beet lemonade. It was delicious and a good price. Inside there’s a friendly welcoming atmosphere. This is the type of place where you could strike up a conversation with the people at the table next to you.

*Update While there was delivery through food apps just last month, Satsuma is not able to do food delivery for some reason. Whoever the man is that answered my call 2 weeks ago, is not someone I would hire or want touching my food. It's unfortunate that people bring their misery into service business. The rest of staff is excellent. I used to frequent Satsuma when I lived in Bywater years ago. I loved the food and vibe there. I was happy to return since moving back and ordered the Breakfast Burrito for delivery and than dined in with my dog within 2 days because I was craving that burrito and the salsa it comes with. The staff here is so kind and go beyond what I expected. Peter is jovial and treated us like a house guest who needs for nothing. The man washing dishes in back was singing with the music so well, the soul was felt. That's great vibes I want around my food ! I have got the green juice twice also and got that to go because I couldn't Not, try the lavender coffee. Also got warmed blueberry muffin with butter. It's was a real blueberry muffin as in, it tasted like it was homemade with whole ingredients. Of course it was so delightful. My dog was given a treat the first last week also. Sweet. They still have books on a shelf here and the places is so spacious and comfortable to stay around. With outdoor seating for pets, I appreciate havens like this. Always will return here.

GREAT FOOD AWESOME SERVICE CHILL ATMOSPHERE A must stop if you're in the area. My husband and I really enjoyed coming here (5×) on our stay in NOLA. We are coming back soon and we will for certain be back here. Plus the area is so cute. If you're not far, I recommend to walk there (weather permitted). Take in the area as well as all the kitties that make themselves at home wherever. We highly recommend this place.

sweet spot for breakfast. pancakes are amazing. like why are you not eating one of satsumas pancakes right now? seriously. get your life together. staff is always warm & friendly even when busy or having to deal with rude people. theres a reason for allllll the good reviews. place is legit. oh & their pancakes are out of this world ^_^

My husband and I both have Celiac and we’re vegetarians. We visited here on our trip to New Orleans for brunch. This is a small and charming cafe-style joint with a nice patio. It’s not a dedicated kitchen but the staff happily prepared us an egg sandwich on housemade GF bread as well as an eggs & black beans breakfast with housemade tortillas. They cleaned off surfaces to prepare our meals. My husband and I are both very sensitive and felt fine after this meal. Amazing coffee here, too.

Some say the day starts when the sun rises, but any masters of life know time doesn't begin until you've stepped into Satsuma Cafe. Forget the fart (& whatever else) that freely flowed out of you in the early AM. No need to remember the muscle you pathetically pulled failing to reach the snooze button shortly after. Nothing before Satsuma matters. (And nothing after.) Married? Now you're single. A parent? There was never a child. Employed? Step directly to the cash register to completely omit any & all responsibilities. Who needs a paycheck, family or a life when the cuisine & vibes are this spectacular? Without Satsuma you are nothing. Make something of yourself - nay - make something EXTRAORDINARY of yourself & come support a cafe that will revolutionize the very core of your DNA. I had the lavendar lemonade and brunch hash. Was good. 5 stars.

Our crew of 11 loved the service and attention we received by the establishment. We were celebrating a friend’s 40th and called two weeks in advance to make reservations. The hostess greeted us by saying happy birthday to the birthday girl which was a nice touch that they remembered! We were sat promptly and drink orders were taken. The staff even found a way to make the birthday girl a Cherry Cola! Our waitress was kind, flexible, patient, and matched our loud crews energy! Thank you 😍 She even took the time to take our photos out front. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food but I think the Mac and cheese was the hit of the table. The birthday girl received a slice of cheese cake with a candle and a song. We were the last table in the building but didn’t feel rushed by the staff. Compared to other locations we ate at during the weekend we felt this was fairly priced for the service we received. Thanks to the hostess and our amazing server!

We were originally going to go to another restaurant but that was closed. we had heard good things about the Country Club and they had availability so we decided to check it out. the ambiance and the service was outstanding. we started with the crab beignets and the curry and crab bisque. the crab beignets were really good but the aioli was average. the bisque was very good and tasted like an asian green curry sauce. we then got the brussels sprouts, the kale salad, the hamburger, the shrimp, and the curry salmon. the shrimp was really good as were the french fries that came with the burger. the salmon was decent but needed a sauce and was better when we added the soup as a gravy. the brussels sprout and kale salad were also good. portion size was good and price point was also good. overall good food in a nice ambiance with great service

The drag brunch is always a good time. Be aware the building has a few rooms of which the drag queens make their way through performing. If you want to see them the entire time this venue is not for you.

Drag brunch is a MUST! I visited with a Bachelorette party and they had us feeling like the main show as soon as we walked in! Several other occassions were being celebrated and the staff did an awesome job making us all feel seen! The food was AMAZE-BALLS. All the flavor, and thank y'all for my extra pecans on my chicken and waffles!

The food was just okay! The staff was fine but not overly friendly like we had come accustomed too in New Orleans. We loved the Mac & Cheese and Crab Beignets. The Short Rib was a little fatty. The red fish was good but it didn’t knock my socks off. The drinks were good! Overall, I would recommend this spot for drinks and opt for something less “instagram worthy” for dinner. There is certainly better food in New Orleans.

What can I say…my first drag brunch at The Country Club, powered by Hampton Water Rosé, was a glittery fever dream in the best way. The Crabcake & Egg was bougie Benedict, the Shrimp & Grits brought the sass, and the Dubai Chocolate Sundae? Richer than a Real Housewife. The dancers slayed, the rosé flowed—brunch has never been this fabulous.

I attended a Drag Brunch on this day and my oh my I had a darn good time an absolute great time the Queens were fabulous and very entertaining, the Food was also amazing.

We visited this restaurant for a delightful dinner and to reconnect with a college friend. The food was exceptional, bursting with flavor, though the portions were slightly modest—still, it didn’t detract from the experience. The service was truly outstanding, thanks to our waiter, Sam. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring our water glasses and drinks were always refilled promptly, which added to the seamless dining experience. The ambiance was calm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a first date or a meaningful conversation over dinner. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for its excellent food, impeccable service, and pleasant atmosphere.

Apolline is a charming little boutique restaurant tucked away on Magazine Street. The food? Excellent. Creative, flavorful, and well-prepared. If your priority is a solid meal and you’re not too concerned with the service, this place might work for you. We called ahead to confirm vegetarian options and made a reservation noting we were celebrating three special occasions. While we were acknowledged when we walked in, that’s where the warmth ended. Our server never mentioned our celebrations and made no real effort to connect or engage with us. The service was blunt and impersonal. One dish had to be returned after just two bites, and we were told we’d have to pay full price for a replacement and we were charged full price for the returned item. The vegetarian option was also charged at the same price as a full omelet—no accommodation or flexibility, just a flat approach. There’s also a 4% kitchen fee tacked onto your bill to "support the kitchen staff." Honestly, I’d rather the meal prices be slightly higher and know the staff is being compensated fairly, instead of feeling like the owners are passing that responsibility onto the diners. Bottom line: If you care more about what’s on the plate than the experience surrounding it—and you’re not price sensitive—give Apolline a try. But if service, attentiveness, or value matter to you, this may not be the best fit.

We had an incredible Bachelorette brunch here. We were a group of 11 girls and we had a fantastic time. Food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. I ordered the fish and grits and had the waffle. Both very delicious! Our waiter was such a treat and added to the experience. We would highly recommend this place

Had the perfect breakfast here. If You're looking to start off a NOLA visit in absolute Flavortown...go here! The seafood chowder was bomb and the namesake bfast dish was literally the best thing Ive eaten in the morning for a looooooong time. Superb dining spot; Especially for brunch.

A friend and I made a last minute decision to have dinner here on a Saturday night. I lucked up on a park directly across the street and my friend found one a block away, so that was a great start! The restaurant is super cute on the outside and definitely had a Nola feel to it. I didn’t want a cocktail so requested a lemonade. My goodness…it was the most delicious lemonade ever! We received complimentary rolls and garlic butter. Eh, the rolls were just eh and the butter too garlicky. We split the appetizer special which was a baked Brie with crab and a bunch of other stuff. It sounded amazing when the server explained it, but it didn’t taste like it sounded. It was also priced too high for the size of the dish. The menu was limited and I ordered the shrimp and grits. It was surprisingly good and uniquely done. Again, I thought that the serving was too small. Although the ambience and service was nice overall, nothing made me want to say that I would return.

Was super excited to visit Apolline for restaurant week and would have loved to give this place 4/5 ⭐️s but ultimately had to settle on 3. We had reservations for 7:00PM and were seated right away. We ordered drinks and shortly after that we put in our apps, entrees and dessert. We weren’t too impressed with the cocktails we got, but it was saved by the complimentary bread. The garlic butter was delicious! However I wish the bread wasn’t so toasted, it would have been better a little softer in my opinion. At 7:52PM we finally got our appetizers. Once those were finished we were told our entrees would be out soon. We didn’t receive our entrees until 9:00PM. Dessert came out immediately after finishing dinner, but altogether it took us 2.5hrs to complete our meal. While ALL the food was extremely delicious, we were disappointed in the service. Our waitress was nice and offered free wine between appetizers and the entree as well as bringing some additional bread. She kept thanking us for being so chill, but at this point we had started to feel taken advantage of a bit as other tables who arrived later than us began receiving their entrees before us. The manager was walking around delivering plates to tables but never once stopped by our table to chat. Had there been more transparency about the situation or even more acknowledgment, especially by the manager I would have been happy to give 4 stars. It wasn’t until we were walking out the door that the manager told us to have a good night and apologized for the wait. They did comp the drinks for us, but honestly we felt it was the least they could do. It’s really a bummer to have to give 3 stars because we really did enjoy the food, but that amount of waiting really makes a difference in an experience.

What an outstanding dinner! Everything from the atmosphere to the service. The seafood was delectable, the salad was amazing, and the lamb was out of this world. Don’t forget to ask about some wine! The bottle we received was not only affordable but delicious. Make sure to ask for Haley, her service was amazing! Can’t wait to come back again!

After a long morning of walking and exploring the downtown area, I got an appetite for some food. I ended up looking up this place and noticed it sale breakfast and lunch. I opt in to try some breakfast and it wasnt the best but it held me until dinner time. The shrimp grits were seasoned to perfection, the cakes were on the tough side but I guess the syrup helped with that.

I was REALLY hoping for a true chicken fried steak. I'm from Texas and haven't had one since I left 10 years ago lol. This one was just okay. I'm not sure what happened with the gravy. It was very thin and had chunks of what I think was corn starch. The Mac n cheese tastes like Kraft. I'm still going to come back and try other things though!

We took the Streetcar up Canal to Dorgenois Street, just to go to Betsy’s for breakfast. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere is like an old-school dinner, nothing fancy just fun and homey. The breakfast is basic, eggs, bacon, grits with toast or pancakes. The portions are very large and the cost is super reasonable. A great experience and we will be back.

Food is fresh and delicious, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable. I ordered the silver dollar pancakes for my 3 year old grand baby and they were the size of regular pancakes and the regular pancakes are the size of a full dinner plate. However, service is a bit slow and the dining room could use a remodel but it has local flare. Overall it was a great experience and I will return when I am visiting NOLA again.

This place is a historic hidden gem. I ordered pigs in the blanket. Food was great and came out fast. Price was reasonable for location and quality/ quantity. I will be back.

Waitress was friendly but food was very mediocre. Eggs undercooked and hash browns were old and stale. Older waitress was very rude and unfriendly. And the signs all over for extra charges for everything with the scolding sign on the table for raising prices is very off putting. Sadly I believe thier best days are behind them

In town for my birthday weekend and the hotel staff recommend Betsy's. Was dissatisfied and disappointed in whole experience. Food was done as basic and unseasoned as possible. The omelet was basically a scrambled egg with stuff in it. My granddaughters could have done a better job and they don't cook. Waitress was rude and unassuming. Took the wrong order and tried to get my wife and I to switch plates. Unbelievable. Parking was unusual due to no parking lot. Just find a spot that looks available. On the street. They seem to be old fashioned and had alot of customers. However they appeared to be enjoying their experience. Maybe because they were locals and used to that sort of eating and dining.

Cute, charming atmosphere with the walls highly decorated with artwork from local artists. The food and service were definitely subpar/nonexistent. I ordered plain, regular drip coffee, it didn’t come until the meal was finished. The food itself was nothing to write home about, just typical American dishes. Although, the biscuits definitely looked homemade and very fluffy and the French toast looked amazing, that’s a reason I’d go back.

These places in the middle of neighborhoods are true gems. Parking is in the hood, so plan accordingly...walk, taxi, Uber, just don't expect valet service. Staff is super friendly in this big 'ol space that looks like a really old grocery store, honestly I don't know the history but you can feel it with an inviting atmosphere and art on the walls for sale! Breakfast was wonderfully standard cafe fare and my breakfast sandwich and pancakes were very good and satisfying, the potatoes might've been a bit too oily but I still ate them all. My breakfast was perfect for a busy New Orleans day ahead. Morning beverage options at the cafe were as expected and more than adequate. I would definitely happily return for other menus items and more boozy drinks!

This place is at the end of the green trolley road and you walk through some neighborhood streets but it is worth going to. They had some different types of drinks and food for brunch which were interesting. I had the crab cake benedict which was amazing and an irish iced coffee which was absolutely delicious! My friend had the Eggs Sardou and of course a mimosa! Haha! Service was good at first but then slowed down a bit. This has happened in New Orleans at a couple of places so I don’t know what that’s about...Anyway, great irish coffee and good food! Cute little neighborly restaurant.

Great quick easy meal. Nice atmosphere with pretty stylish local art on the walls available for sale. Went for brunch on a Monday and had a lovely meal and a quick stop without feeling rushed. I had the blueberry waffle which I would definitely recommend. Service was attentive and on point.

1st time there. Great location in neighborhood with friendly staff and many good looking items I saw pass by me. I went with steak and egg special. It was great

Love sitting at the bar with Anne. She’s the best! Always delicious and fun atmosphere!

Nice,quiet,local place for breakfast or lunch. Few tourists if any. The menu is straightforward and the food is good. There is nothing fancy about the decor. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly.

Great restaurant choice for ppl with restrictive diets and/or health conscious! So many choices and lots of vegan options. Wide open atmosphere with lots of natural lighting, decorated very nicely with greenery and floral accents. Service wasn’t the best, but I think our waitress was overwhelmed, seemed like she had a lot of tables. Lots of seating available and can accommodate large groups. The ancient grain bowl was a definite hit, would definitely recommend that. The edamame dumplings were okay. Glad to have restaurants like this in the city.

9.6.25 came here for the first (and last time) The food was very, very Salty which made it unenjoyable and INEDIBLE. We ordered the guacamole as an appetizer. My bf had the turkey burger, and I had the air fried chicken sandwich. The air fried chicken was breaded...and salty. 😔😭 All of these items were just too salty to handle. The building is beautiful and clean, but that's about the only thing that I can rave about. They do offer unique drinks. Skip this place unless you really love salt and sub-par expensive food.

I’m so tired of restaurants giving terrible quality Togo food. I placed an order tonight for 2 burgers; one vegan and the other was the American burger w/o cheese. My food was cold and looked disgusting. I opened the burger to see that cheese was placed on the burger but scraped off. And it was cold! I did not get 3rd party delivery. I called and they were pleasant on the phone and apologized, and offered to give an adjustment bc of their mess up. Instead of them refunding me for the meal (Burger and lettuce (listed as a small “salad”) (~$20)) or even just the burger portion; the adjustment was for $9 and some change stating I wasn’t satisfied w/ the burger. Of course I’m not, I COULD NOT EAT IT!!! I was able to scrape some of the cheese that was still on there off with my finger. So disgusting and disappointing!

The True Food Kitchen in New Orleans is very similar to the one in Dallas but the service and Food quality was not good at all. Both excellent choices, but something was off when I ordered takeout here. It was supposed to be ready at 6pm, but when I arrived they were running behind and I needed to wait. I had to wait 30 minutes, so at 6:30 it was finally ready. The salmon I ordered was overcooked and hard enough to pick up to eat. We were disappointed this time and hope it was a one off and not an every day example of the one in New Orleans.

I am the first person to admit I don’t eat vegetables. I came to try a seasonal pizza I saw in the reviews but it was no longer available. I ended up ordering the ancient grain bowl + steak. Tbh I was thinking about what I would eat later bc I knew I wasn’t going to like my meal. To my surprise I loved it. All the ingredients brought their own layer of texture/ flavor to the dish and they all complimented each other so well! The sweet potatoes added a nice sweet flavor, the char grilled onions and peas added a nice crunchy texture to the dish. The pistachio pesto was semi acidic and packed with enough flavor to season the whole dish perfectly. I did add steak to my bowl (which was not needed) and it was over cooked and tough. Will definitely eat here again.

Almost threw up my burger was so undercooked (ordered medium) fries were cold and weirdly textured. Cheese on burger was unmelted shredded cheese. Multiple wrong orders delivered to table. Waitress was inattentive. Espresso was burnt. Nice atmosphere, very artsy, so many plants that it smells like dirt inside.

Hello. My name is Derrick and I went to True Food Kitchen today was amazing! My burger not well done like I asked, and it was no big, but my sister told the server and next thing I know the manager came out and literally took it off the bill. He told me he believes in making sure his customers are highly satisfied. I couldn’t believe it!! Everyone was so kind and they aimed to please. If I lived in New Orleans, I would be a consistent lifetime customer! It’s also very beautiful and really clean there. They get five stars all across the board for me!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I watched a lot of YouTubers talk about this spot and they were right . This place is 🔥🔥. If you indulge in sweets and pastries this your place . Sugar heaven . lol . Not only are the drops and donuts affordable there portions are big. They also have glazed beignets , they didn’t survive once I got them 😂. Forget cafe du monde no disrespect , these are the truth . They do serve breakfast but I didn’t get the breakfast but just imagine having a home cook meal and a bakery at the same location . The people working there were polite and wonderful . Go support them trust me they are worth it . So price wise I got 12 different things from drops , a donut , a cinnamon roll and beignets for 15 dollars total . Their menu is extensive and varies but you won’t spend as much as you think . Keep that in mind .

My first time trying this business. I got there bright and early and went to the Chicken & Waffle side. The food looked fresh and amazing. Ordered Shrimp and Grits, which came with eggs, hashbrowns and a biscuit. Also got the breakfast rice, 6 piece wings and one dozen original buttermilk drops. While leaving the store- I noticed the bakery side - went in there and the selection of donuts was awesome. They even sell day old donuts at a special price. Pros: Staff is very friendly and welcoming. They were opened as advertised. Variety of menu items Breakfast rice and homemade biscuit were delicious. The amount of food for the price is nice. Cons: None of the remaining menu items were seasoned -didn’t even have salt or pepper. The shrimp were sauteed but also had no flavor. The buttermilk drops are not the nostalgic flavor I was expecting. Summary: I expected better tasting food from an establishment in the Creole 7th ward. I understand that customer’s salt and pepper tastes are different; but totally bland food, in NOLA, should never happen.

Customer service alone TOP TIER! From walking in the door feeling like family to the patience and smiles. We ordered the seafood grits with hash and eggs, stuff cream cheese beignets, and a side of smoked sausage for $31 (with tip). They ran out of the sweet potato stuffed beignet but sis behind the counter said "I gotcha' I love this!

My son had the chicken and waffles, and I had the French toast and waffles. He enjoyed his and I enjoyed mine. The food was fresh and the chicken was fried perfectly. No complaints on our end. Everything was made to order.

I ordered my food at 7am thru uber eats. I’m thinking because it early I should get fresh food I GUESS NOT I’m so livid the whole order is a waste of money. The donuts are cold and poorly made at this point I should have asked for coffee donuts instead of glaze because that what I got. My sandwich is very COLD, HARD AND VERY OLD not to mention y'all don’t read I asked for strawberry y'all gave me grape. Customer service sucks and ya’ll don’t know how to take care of paying customers. Mark my words this is the last time I waste my money with this company and I will be sure to let my peers know as well how negligent, you guys are with people’s money and food. Pictures included with this review. AT LEAST MY DOG HAS A GOOD BREAKFAST COMING. SO DISAPPOINTED….

I love me some donuts and they did not disappoint. Decent breakfast spot too but the donuts, top tier! Took a boatload home from my trip!

The breakfast rice is delicious. Its take out only but the wait times aren't bad at all.
