Pros: Customer service. Environment. Staff Food wait time was quick. Cons: Food is the biggest miss. We ordered gumbo, shrimp poboy, blackened fish and étouffée, crab claws & onion strings. The best thing today, was the onion strings. Everything else was underwhelming :/. We wanted to order a few more dishes to give a solid review, however after tasting the gumbo and entrees, we figured everything else on the menu would be bland. Drinks weren't that amazing either. Don't get the polomar or electric lemonade. We attempted to get it removed but unfortunately, management wouldn't allow - so we took an L. If you guys could maybe add some seasoning to your dishes, that would definitely elevate the plate. The gumbo literally tasted like the étouffée & neither had any seasoning at all. Thanks again for our server that went over and beyond to accommodate - only reason I left a 2 and not 1. * lastly I never received my beer I ordered and we were charged incorrectly for the cocktail that was on a special. However, they adjusted the price once we voiced our concern.* Overall, cool dive in restaurant. Wack food. YouTube review with have all details :) read more

A little bit of a dive bar. Actually it's a full dive bar but it's actually really good. I was feeling like I wanted some off the beaten path Cajun food and I found it. You'll go ahead and park in the lot and a lot is free. But you are supposed to only be parking in this lot if you are in going to the restaurant that this lot support so don't try to park there or you might get towed. I don't know. Either way they have free parking so that's the important part. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor is covered so you don't have to worry about the weather if something does happen. Indoor is pretty small. There's a decent sized bar area and multiple seats but it's not very big. You actually might have the same size seating, indoor and outdoor actually. I sat at the bar last time I went and the bar too look's pretty cool. We chopped it up for a little bit before I order just so I can see what I wanted. Voodoo wings - The wings were good. They came sauced, and the sauce was pretty decent. I would have rather just have lemon pepper but that's not the situation LOL but for what they were, they were good. Gumbo - The gumbo was a decent size of gumbo for a small cup. But it was very flavorful. Only thing was you may come across a shrimp tail somewhere in there, but I can't be mad at that. But the flavor and The taste was definitely present in the gumbo and I would actually go back for a full bowl next time. Oyster po boy - The oyster po-boy was pretty good. It felt like it needed the sauce on it, it was a little bit dry but it still had a lot of flavor to it. I'll go back and try some more from this spot. They did a really good job of my first impression. Now you don't get real New Orleans food outside of New Orleans a lot of times, but some things are comparable. This spot as far as the po-boy sandwich goes, was pretty good and worth it giving the fact that it's not in New Orleans LOL. read more

I chose to go here for the LSU game, as it is a Louisiana bar. The place is decked out with LSU and New Orleans decor. They have great specials throughout the week, including $5 Abitas for game day and $7 cocktails on Saturday. There is a decent amount of seating - both indoor and outside on a covered patio with small TVs around the place. They did play the LSU game out loud, but the speaker was very low and hard to hear with people talking at the bar. Because of this, I ended up only staying one quarter instead of the whole game since I could watch it on a bigger TV with more volume at home. I ordered the mixed basket and chose grilled shrimp and fried alligator, which comes with Cajun fries. The platter was huge and I couldn't finish it all. The grilled shrimp were big, cooked perfectly, and seasoned great. I wasn't a fan of the alligator though. It was more fried than gator and was chewy. Next time, I would go with solely the grilled shrimp platter. Overall, the food is decent but nothing to rave about -- or at least not what I ate. However, the service was great, with very kind and attentive servers and bartender. My water was constantly being filled, which I appreciated so much. read more

This is my #1 go to every spring since my first Atlanta spring in 2012 to get truly fresh crawfish. When they are not in season they don't do the boils and that's fine with me because who wants that old mess? Not me! Super casual spot, I'm sure prices are based on the market. Last week i went i think they were $14/lb but when i tell you they were Big, Juicy, and well seasoned....i think it might be downplaying. So good! Also honorable mentions are the gator bites and the fried catfish. I typically don't order fried catfish at many restaurants because it ends up looking and tasting like a piece of mystery fish covered in a wet batter like long John silvers or a Light dust of flour. Idk where they do that at and like it, but i like mine crispy with corn meal. I've even ordered on door dash and when it arrived it was still hot and crispy! It's a small spot, free parking in the lot and on the street. Good drinks, good service, good vibes. I could gatekeep, but if you ever see my and my little dog and no tables are left, let me have a seat and I'll continue to share lol read more

they tried to send me home with jambalaya mush, and then as of May 22 I've been trying to get a refund. I actually returned the food and asked for one the same day I was there and it must've got canceled or something because I still don't have my money back. If you want mid food and then once you ask for a refund, not get your money back then stop at the big easy grille. I seriously am so upset that I have to call this establishment every day over this matter read more

Still in search of the perfect poboy in Atlanta and reviews brought me here. Service is very friendly and your food comes out hot and relatively quick. I saw the crab claws on the appetizers and had to have them, they were yummy. My husband had the fried catfish basket and I had the 1/2 shrimp poboy. The catfish was nice and crispy and flaky and tender on the inside. The poboy was good, however it still wasn't on the level of what I'm looking for. Nevertheless the I would go back. The food is good. read more

As a former cook in New Orleans I never cease to be amazed by Big Easy. The recipes and processes are all amazing. The owner grew up in a New Orleans restaurant family. I ate at his family's place many times. The staff is always happy and provides great service. read more

I took my mom to a late lunch here on this past Saturday, I'd been before but it had been a quite some years so I was excited to go back! We ordered 2 salads & alligator bites as an appetizer, they had a little sweetness to them with a creole mayo sauce. We also ordered the shrimp po-boy & combo basket w/ catfish & chicken tenders. The catfish was cooked/seasoned perfectly & the tenders had a hand breaded taste to them. Service is prompt & never out of sight. As for the ambiance, it's a New Orleans themed restaurant & bar with inside & covered patio seating. Parking is shared with a neighboring restaurant but they had about 10 reserved spots for their patrons w/ one dedicated to Togo pickups right in the front. It's on mom's "new favorite place" list now! read more

Slow service, weird service, always something when I go makes me annoyed with them. Food is fine but when you get the bill you are always surprised by the cost (in a bad way) Poboy Shop of North Druid Hills beats this place in a landslide read more

The food was delicious!! My family and I are from the Big Easy , so we were prepared ourselves to be ready to judge and we were not disappointed with the crawfish ; it was not overly seasoned but tasty. The sausage was authentic D&D sausage (which is the crème de la creme). The service was excellent, the waitresses were very professional, polite and made we were taken care of very well ( hospitality at its finest). The ambiance was right on point!! I felt like I was back home in New Orleans it reminded me of the French Quarter and the DJ knew exactly the right songs to play . I'll definitely return to try out their Poboys !! read more

Good food and drinks. This place always provides a solid meal! My favorites are the crab fingers, catfish and shrimp!

Went for Fat Tuesday. Great service. Fun atmosphere. The crawfish were well seasoned and flavorful. Its early in the season for crawfish so they were small and some soft ones. This is no fault of theirs. We were happy to get our crawfish fix. Can't wait to come back for their Wednesday boils. If they are this good in February, it can only get better. My son had the fried shrimp po boy and it was loaded with shrimp. He said it was very good. We give the place a solid thumbs up! read more

The food was excellent. Our friend recommend the place because everything else was packed for Father's Day last week. I got the Catfish Po Boy. The fish was hard fried and flavorful. My friends got a few hurricanes and they were raving about them. The bartender hooked us up. We'll definitely be going back. read more

Lunch time has a steady crowd but staff is still pretty attentive. Food always good, must try there alligator bites(yummy). I've only been during lunch time so I can't say what the drinks be doing, but the look together have some cool specialty drinks. The space is a nice size, small but has so much cute creator. A must try and if you beat me there...let me know how the drinks are read more

Location: This spot is located a few minutes from Chattahoochee Works which means it's near a lot of cool places and heavy traffic. Parking: Parking was free but seemed to be limited Service: The service was great, we didn't wait long for food drinks or to be waited on. It seems that everyone is on the same team there and works together to make your experience a great one. The restaurant is very casual so no need to make reservations. Ambience/Crowd: the ambience is warm and inviting and laid back. Food/drink : 7/10 for the food - I had the bourbon salmon with jambalaya which was delicious. My boyfriend had fried catfish and shrimp combo (he love's catfish and said it was great) we also had the alligator chili, Mac and cheese & beignets. The mac and cheese is not what I am used to but it was still good. Will I be back? YES! Mainly because of service and that jambalaya! read more

My first time visiting. The food and service was good but I was disappointed when I got my ticket to see there was a cash price and a card price. For a restaurant, seriously. I feel like something should be done about this. You are charging customers to pay your card fees without any notice. At least tell customer before hand. Local Atlanta restaurant owners are wondering why people don't frequent their establishments. This is one reason. A franchise restaurant has never had a credit/cash price in my experience. For me, this will make me not be a patron again. It's the principal of it- it's not transparent and feels like greed and deceit. read more

This is the 2nd time I am coming here for lunch and have to say the service and food quality has been consistently excellent! I forgot to take pictures of the food . Today I had the alligator & oyster combination platter with fries. Everything was served hot and fresh. Properly seasoned and fried. I also had the gumbo. It was tasty. I must say as much as it was good, I have had better gumbos. Notwithstanding, this was still very good, served hot with a nice size portion. The ambiance is warm, cozy and comfortable. The service was prompt, and very courteous. I had two servers tag teaming to assist me. This is definitely becoming a favorite spot for me to eat. Oh, the price is good as well. read more

So I've never sat in the restaurant to eat but I've ordered takeout a couple of times. Pretty good and consistent with quality of food. I normally get gator bites and fried catfish. Always super crisp. Gator bites are some of the best I've ever had. They come with this pretty tasty sauce too. Not sure what it is but it makes them pop for sure. Small inside and small staff but always taken care of when I go. read more

Food came out very quickly and everything tasted great except the fried crab claws. The flavor was there but it had more bone than meat. Hush puppies were phenomenal. The shrimp in the shrimp poboy was fresh. Beignets were great. Service was great. Bar was a bit loud but it's a Friday night so nothing unusual. Will be coming back. read more

Big Easy Grille is like a hole in the wall little joint. Food and drink are pretty good. I had alligator bites/oysters and hubby fish & shrimp. Both meals were served with fries, came out hot and fresh and rather quickly. The Electric Lemonade was a bit too tart and carbonated flavored for our liking. Probably should've paid more attention to the description. Beignets were hot and just the right serving after an entree. I also had to try the bread pudding. It was a little on the soft side, similar to oatmeal but tasty. Overall, it was worth a try and we will return. read more

We ordered take out a Big Easy Gumbo, a Shrimp Po-Boy and a few beignets. We got there before our food was ready so we sat at the bar and while we waited we order 2 hurricanes. It was Monday night so the football game was on and the bar was not full just a few people seating around the bar watching the game. The bartender was nice and as soon as our food was ready she told us so we were able to pay everything together. Unfortunately I was a disappointed with the gumbo. The last time I had gumbo was in New Orleans so I was expecting better, the Po-Boy wasn't bad and the beignets were ok. read more

So I have drove by so many times saying I was going to try this spot. I ordered online for pickup. $45.21 with 18% tip. I ordered the Fried combo platter with Cajun chicken fingers and fried catfish which came with Cajun fries, hush puppies and I chose the creole Mayo. I of course had to order a side of red beans and rice and gave the small order of voodoo wings a try. The red beans and rice were so plain. Needed salt so badly, no taste at all. Two bites and I tossed it. The voodoo wings were fried nicely but I could barely taste the sauce. It was rather weak. The combo platter was so disappointing. The catfish wasn't seasoned good at all and the Cajun chicken fingers were just as bad. The fries were mediocre and the hush puppies were tasteless. The creole Mayo was ok, wouldn't order it again though. After a miss on all three items I just can't give this place another try. Especially with the bland red beans and rice. I was really hoping the food was going to be really good, hate that I paid so much for disappointment. read more

Second time coming the first time I came alone for a late lunch to satisfy my Cajun cravings being from Louisiana I found this place on Yelp searching for beignets in Atlanta. Came in today and brought my family visiting from out of town. Tatiana was our server she was so sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. We sat 5 adults and one baby plenty space at the outdoor seating. For appetizer we got the Cajun queso really good with a slight spicy kick The hurricanes were tasty not as strong as the ones in New Orleans but still really good. I had the half alligator poboy and half gumbo. Really really good love gator. Two orders of beignets! Everyone loved the food and can't wait to come back. This little gem does not disappoint read more

Great, clean, not too loud space. Friendly service and DELICIOUS food!!!! I recommend this place, for sure.

We hit up this place because I currently live in the west and miss southern food! I have to say we were not disappointed. It's one of those hole-in-the-wall places. The sweet tea was great, not too sweet or unsweet. My party got the hush puppies, oysters, red beans and rice, fried catfish, gumbo and blackened salmon. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Definitely hit the spot for this southern girl. Only complaint was that service was a bit slow but otherwise definitely recommend! read more

I found oysters and great wings here. The wings were a little pricey, fried crispy with voodoo sauce and Cajun blue cheese on the side. Still a nice start to my Easter weekend. My waitress and everyone I met were great. Parking is a bit scarce, but they do have their own parking lot until Savi provisons opens next door. I'd bring laid back friends here for simple food. Thinking Cajun probably isn't the way to go despite the name. But you will find GOOD food. I'll be back again. read more

Nice food, awesome crab fingers. Reasonably priced meals, you won't be disappointed. My go - to for mid week meals

Service is great and the vibes are good too. Bit of a dive bar feel. The alligator tails are good. Probably the only place nearby to get some but everything, and I mean everything is underseasoned. The fried shrimp is cooked really well but you have to get seasoning on the side. The boiled crawfish have literally no seasoning in them. I think they boiled them like fine dining crab boils..... this is not that lol. Everything is too damn expensive too. read more

My mom use to work at this location in the kitchen and used to always talk about how nice her boss was. Aside from the boss, I went to dine in with my sister last night and I ordered the Bourbon Salmon Salad with spicy ranch sauce (yummy) + Lemonade cocktail (wasn't watered down) , & my sister ordered the Shrimp Basket. They are a bit understaff as well so it can tough juggling multiple clients at once. Overall we had a good experience! Waiter got our drink orders ASAP, she came back and took our food orders, food came out shortly after, and she checked back on us here and there. Only leaving 4 stars because my sister inquired about applying, waitress said she'd get her an application and never came back so We ended up leaving. read more

Tried this spot because I really wanted some Oysters. We sat outside on the patio and it was nice you can seat yourself. The oysters only are served fried so I was a little disappointed but they were good. The food was served nice and hot. On Sat they have $7 drink specials. They have TVs to be able to watch the game, but the parking lot is small if it is a big game on tv or if they ever have a huge crowd. If I am in the area again I would stop by. The Voodoo sauce on the shrimp was tasty and had some kick to it. Also the Queso Dip was spicy as well and delicious. read more

I struggled with this. My waitress was not all there. She was a little sluggish. It was semi- crowded two waitress's worked the indoors and outdoor set up. The one that worked my area was not all there she was a little preoccupied I guess. No real sense of humor for a good laugh Alesia on the other hand the other waitress was assume! Gave her a compliment on her service abilities the girl would not stay still working the entire section like she had the Owners interest! Nuff said about that- the food was ok had the fried catfish- but the reviews for other dishes limited my experience from ordering anything authentic from New Orleans. - I'm Ken to that location and will not take chances on fake food or fake people. The waitress that served me seemed to pick up speed when it came time to pick up the check.. But Alesia. - she was the real Saint! For real dough read more
