This place definitely had more of a sports bar vibe than I expected it to, but it wasn't loud or…read morechaotic. I was looking forward to trying this place, but I wasn't obsessed with the food. My favorite thing we got was definitely the veggie red beans and rice. It was very balanced and cooked well. I was very excited to try their shrimp and grits, but it wasn't that great. The grits were quite grainy and didn't taste cheesy as described. They weren't creamy at all and really tasted like plain barely salted grits that could have been cooked a bit longer. The shrimp was flavorful and the sear on the outside was nice, but they were quite overcooked and tough. There was a much higher ratio of grits to shrimp and gravy than you would want, especially given the grits were not that good. However, my husband absolutely loved the chicken pasta and said it was one of the best he has ever had. They definitely can make good food but I would skip the shrimp and grits. The lemonade I ordered was also incredibly watery. The service was efficient and good overall, but very impersonal and bare minimum. Definitely efficiency prioritized over true dinner service. Not bad but not what I expected.

I've visited this restaurant three times during my stay in New Orleans, and that alone should tell…read moreyou how much I've enjoyed it! From the moment you walk in, the staff is welcoming, helpful, and genuinely kind. Their hospitality keeps me coming back just as much as the food. I always choose to sit upstairs on the balcony, which offers the perfect combination of great dining and a front-row seat to the energy of Bourbon Street. It's an experience all by itself. Now let's talk about the food. Bayybeeee, those mustard greens are absolutely to die for! They are seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. The blackened redfish is incredible every single time, and the drinks are always on point. If you're looking for a spot with great food, great service, and a great atmosphere, this is it. Do yourself a favor and order the mustard greens. You'll thank me later!

I've never had crawfish and seeing it was crawfish season we were destined to be here. We built out our own seafood boil, which included, 1lb shrimp head off, 2 soft shell crab clusters, 1lb crawfish, corn, potato, and sausage. Let's just say we left with a pretty big leftovers box We ordered the hot house flavor and do not regret it one bit! Our server was so kind to show us how to peel and eat the crawfish and honestly it was so fun!! I will definitely be back next time in New Orleans!! One quick note I will say that I learned from a local that I wish I knew before this feast (And you should double check with staff if this info is correct). Most seafood boil places in the area when they have headless shrimp it is farmed and brought in from outside retailers where if you get head-on it's from local ships in the area/fresh caught. Apparently they've been struggling and if you want to support New Orleans local fisherman then go for the head-on shrimp. Again double check with staff if their head-on shrimp is local cuz I learned this information after visiting.

We waited approximately 30 minutes before our waiter even came to greet our table, which set a disappointing tone for the entire meal. The food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable or worth going out of the way for. It's possible the long wait and lack of attention from the staff affected the overall experience and my enjoyment of the meal. The restaurant has potential given the nice atmosphere, but the service needs significant improvement. Until then, I can't rate it any higher than 2 stars.

It was clean & decorated nicely with crisp edges everywhere i looked. I can't explain it but there's something about how southern food is plated that either or makes it or breaks it for me & i love that they know what they were doing. I sat at the bar because no reservation. I had the fried shrimp, yams, mac and cheese & green beans. My only complaint is the yams texture. (It was kinda like baby food, I like mine still a little whole and not so purreed but flavor was on point- didnt hold it against them.) It was nicely presented and the server took excellent care of me. I was too stuffed to order anything else.
