I'll never get tired of this heaven sent spot. I make it a point to introduce everyone I know to Cochon Butcher, and even though I've reviewed it already, I'm updating my review because they continue to deserve the praise. Everything was disrespectfully delicious. Every bite had us questioning our life choices in the best way. By the end of the meal, we were all sleepy and completely defeated by how good the food was. The staff was on point, courteous, and polite. Our food came out hot, fast, and perfectly plated with consistency that never misses. My only small complaint is that the sweet potato habanero sauce isn't as thick as it used to be. I'm a little annoyed about that, but it still tastes exactly the same Cochon Butcher remains one of those must visit New Orleans spots that never disappoints. Great food, great service, and a place I'll always adore. read more

Food: Got the Le Pig Mac, Fried Pork Chops (the daily special!), and Cajun Fried Ribs. Akin to the McDonald's special, the Pig Mac was exactly what the Big Mac should be. Juicy, thick, and opulent. The pork patties were softer and lighter than their beef counterpart but equally tasty. The Cajun fried ribs were the best part! Bite sized flavor blasts of Norlins! The fried pork chops were well executed and crispy complimented by the bed of beans and rice. Overall, a great meal! Service: Accommodating, efficient, and fast. Waters will be filled quickly and readily. Ambiance: Vibes of a casual eatery with a seat yourself style akin to a BBQ or taproom. read more

Fabulous! Service is beyond great. Everyone looks like they truly enjoy working here. Food 1000000/10 read more

The place was nice. You could tell they take pride and in their craft. The food was good, I got fish, they said it was the whole fish, but it was only half of the deboned fish. But it seasoned soooo well, I decided not to make a fuss. No sides come with the dinner, and they didn't have a basic salad. So if you aren't pescatarian, this isn't the place for you. My coworkers loved all of their food. And the drinks they were served. The hospitality was phenomenal ! read more

Wowser. The sandwiches are amazing. They have beer in a full bar and several other items as well. They do have some sidewalk seating. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you. You do have a server for any additional items, such as drinks. They were very attentive. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was fantastic. My wife had the muffaletta, which was also good, but mine was better. Everything on the menu looked great. You could smell the place from a block away. You can get it to go as well. I also got the Boudin as an appetizer which I totally didn't need because it was too much food. Also delicious. read more

Another gem in a city full of incredible food. After doing some research, this place came up on nearly every list of must-visit spots in New Orleans. It was definitely crowded when we arrived during lunch hour, but the experienced staff helped us find a table quickly, and we were able to enjoy our meal comfortably. We ordered the muffuletta -one of their specialties and something I was trying for the first time. It was a fantastic sandwich, and the portion size was generous. The cocktails were almost as good as the food, which says a lot. This place has earned its legendary reputation, and if you have the time, it's absolutely worth a stop. read more

Street parking or walking. I've been to new orleans a bunch lately ive visited been here twice. There are always conventions or festivals going on so it can be busy and hard to find a seat. You find your own table inside or outside. Sides are separate order and price unless you order the special of the day amd it'll say what it comes with. 1st time ordered le pig. It was good, a little salty. But its not as tender as a beef burger. It was a nice change up. The pickles were good. We ordered some to go. ( take with you or they can ship to your house). The burger itself was filling to me. Rest of my party bbq pork and fish platter. Hush puppies were okay, they give so much. I could honestly do without it. Everyone was satisfied. 2nd visit ordered the porchetta . That was really good. Ordered a mac and cheese. It has breadcrumbs on top it comes in a small dish that i feel like is shareable. It wasn't bad actually ( ive had worse lol). One of the workers did really suggest it. I was willing to try it. It was edible, no cheese pull but also not just buttered noodles. Depending on my mood I might get it again. Porchetta and the leadership pig, I think the porchetta was better but both are great and filling. read more

The worst part of this meal was deciding what to order. Everything looked good. If we could have eaten more, we would have. The service was friendly. The food came out quick. I loved every bite and we sincerely tried to finish everything, but were unsuccessful. 10/10 read more

Cochon Butcher - Mac & cheese, potato salad, Cubano, Gambino - Sandwiches Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Can't believe I never left a review for this place! I first visited back in 2019 because I had to try the Le Pig Mac, their twist on the classic but with pork, and it was absolutely delicious. Six and a half years later, I came back... and it was *still* just as delicious. Some things really do live up to the hype. There are actually two spots: Cochon Restaurant and Cochon Butcher, both are fantastic. Cochon Butcher has more of a casual, deli-style vibe where you can seat yourself if dining in or order at the counter for takeout. Perfect for a laid-back but seriously tasty meal. If you're heading to The Big Easy, do yourself a favor and add this to your must-visit list. You won't regret it. read more

While in town, I had to visit the other great spot for muffulettas. Here, these sandwiches are served warm, but more importantly, the meats are cured here. These meats make a great difference, as well as heating up these meats. But the goodness doesn't end there. This is a butcher shop and there is also a nice bar with draft beer with really great beer. I absolutely recommend a visit to the beer selection. read more

Really good bbq in NO! Was told to stop by this place and grab 2 items. Le Pig Mac and Cajun Pork Dog. Mane! This was a Smokey goodness burger that was spot on Big Mac-ish! But Smokey and tons of flavor. The Cajun dog had a nice small kick to it that was flavorful and just the right amount of spice! This was a great location with plenty of people to give it a hang out spot vibe. Service was on point and friendly. read more

Friend had heard rave reviews of this place so we checked it out. I ended up getting the BBQ pork sandwich which is a pulled pork sandwich. Pretty good, but honestly nothing more special than any other pulled pork sandwich I've had at comparable restaurants. Gf got the Fried Louisiana shrimp which is similar to the shrimp found in po boys around town. Not bad, crispy outside with tender inside. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Otherwise, a good meal but nothing particularly stands out. I will say that we don't eat meat much but still, I felt like it was an average meal. read more

Cochon Butcher - Bbq Pork Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I love this place! One of my top places in New Orleans to eat. Beat Cubano sandwich I've EVER eaten. Seriously. Perfection. The muffaletta was highly recommended and delicious but that Cubano still has my heart. The seeet pickles hit the spot too. I'd order it to ship to Denver if I could. The ribs were amazing. Shrimp was great. Duck sliders were tasty. Hogwash was very special and I fell in love. I wish I could this meal every day. We came for lunch and got lucky with two seats in the back bar. The line was out the door for good reason. It cleared out by the time we left and we got to see the lard and boudin to go. Love the Star Wars touches. I cannot wait to come back and I recommend this place to anyone who asks about our Nola trip. Good stuff! read more

Sat at the bar for lunch. The food here was amazing. We ordered the pork chops with cantaloupe and the drum fish with eggplant. Both were amazing and so well balanced in flavors. Had the mezcal cocktail and it was tasty too. Good service, great ambience. Would highly recommend. read more

A revelation between two buns. Cochon Butcher is everything a higher end sandwich shop should exemplify, from its setup to its menu. The interior is refined, yet rustic, settling somewhere between a butcher shop and modern restaurant. The line is long but moves quickly (10 min wait to order); the menu is straightforward and yet detailed. You have the options of a dozen sandwiches, a variety of sausages/meats, and a few smaller plates. We settled on their Porchetta and Butcher Burger, which were brought out pretty quickly considering how busy it was and our table size being around 10. There is also a bar in the back if you would like a few drinks alongside your meal. Speaking of, it was remarkably easy to find seats accommodating our party size despite not having a reservation heading in. The Porchetta was hands down one of the best sandwiches we've ever eaten in our lives. Salty, some kick from the chili-marinated rapini, and a very good focaccia bread. Likewise, the burger was fantastic. The patty was delicious, seasoned perfectly with the cheese melting on top with a soft bun. The quality of the meats here is extremely high. We were originally a bit skeptical because of the price of the food, but we understand now that this is no gimmick or day-old meat you're eating, it's the real stuff. Add into the fact that they have a fantastic house hot sauce on the table and you're just swimming in flavors. Others in our group ordered their pulled pork, mac and cheese, and duck pastrami sliders; all of which were fantastic and got heaps of praise. Cochon has set a new standard in what we look for in sandwiches. The concept of a sandwich is centuries old, always staying what some would call "safe". This place challenges that norm and sets you up for bold flavors with passion and care behind them. It is shocking to us that this place is only a Bib Gourmand. Easily could be starred. You should run here, right now, no matter where you are. read more

Our group of 3 ended up at Cochon Butcher when we found out we had to wait an hour for the original Cochon but didn't have to wait at all for their sister restaurant, Cochon Butcher. We did not regret the decision! We sat at the bar and had full service while we sampled both the muffuletta and lamb wrap with some local beers. The muffuletta was as huge but delicious. The Olive spread was not as thick as some other muffulettas I have had but I liked it. The lamb wrap was good as well. Ambiance was very brewery like, lots of seating inside and out. Nice casual place to grab a beer or sandwich. The Star Wars theme was fun too. read more

A group of us stopped by for a late lunch on a Saturday. The place was crowded with hungry folks braving the unusually cold temps. There are both smaller and larger tables available and you seat yourself after ordering and getting a number. The Mexican Cokes paired nicely with the absolutely delicious Cuban sandwiches and potato salad. A few folks got their mac n cheese and it was phenomenal. These people are doing something really special with meats here and you probably can't go wrong with anything on their menu. read more

If you're looking for a place to get a smattering of tasty New Orleans favorites at a decent price with a fun, casual atmosphere, come to Cochon Butcher. My friend and I sat outside at their benches and were joined by another pair of women and a friendly dog while we enjoyed all the yummy things we got. First up was the muffaletta. Now I must start by saying this is the first and only muffaletta I've ever had so I don't know what to compare it to but my only notes for this was that it was so salty that it was hard to finish. I ate one triangle and my tongue felt like a raisin - BUT I did enjoy the leftovers warmed up as it didn't seem as salty. The bread is nicely toasted and I do want to try this again. We also tried the hot boudin, brussels, shrimp, and mac and cheese. All were quite good and left us with empty plates by the end. The sweet pickles served with the boudin and muffaletta were also a highlight so don't ignore those! read more

Each visit here is always an amazing experience of culinary excellence. The last time I visited New Orleans, this was my first meal and my most recent visit, I made it my last meal. On this trip, I enjoyed both a Muffaletta and a charcuterie board. The care and precision that is put into each cut of meat makes shines through with each bite. The flavors explode with great seasoning and the meats are so tender. The bread used in the Muffaletta has a great balance of softness, yet firm enough to ensure all the meats and cheeses are held together. My date and I usually sit at the bar and get great service and conversation. Additionally, the Star Wars themes throughout are fun and whimsical. I can't wait to return on my next visit to the Crescent City. read more

This spot came highly recommended from several people I chatted with at my hotel. So I stopped here for dinner one night to check it out. Upon arriving, I realized the place is split into two separate parts. There's the restaurant part and there's the butcher shop part. Since I was by myself and wasn't feeling crowds, I stepped into the butcher shop. The restaurant was packed to the brim and sounded festive so maybe next time, I'll do that. But the butcher shop was where I did the deeds at. Upon entering, I was greeted by someone behind the counter who gave me time to scan the menu. I knew the muffeletta sandwich was a popular item so decided on one of those and also added a side of potato salad and some hot boudin (comes with spicy pickles and a side of dijon). Also got a hot flamingo IPA to wash it all down. Everyone came out at once pretty quickly. Upon eating, the food was alright but overhyped in my opinion. The potato salad was similar to what you could find at grocery stores. The boudin had some kick and good flavor but at $8 was overpriced. The muffeletta was tasty with good bread but I kept thinking there's got to be better ones out there than this. It is a huge sandwich so I had leftovers for lunch the next day. Surprisingly the flavor held up the next day so didn't miss a beat on that. I liked the IPA that was paired with it; shoutout the person at the front for recommending it. The inside area has several high top tables and a bar area. It has a open window where you can see the food get placed up for delivery to wherever you're sitting at. Since it's a butcher shop, they serve boudin and other meats/cheeses by the pound too. I'd be open to stopping here again; definitely will try the restaurant. Hopefully I can get a spot there given popularity. read more

Awesome spot near the conference center! I've gone here TWICE now for conferences and I think it'll become a staple. Service is so friendly and turnover is quick so theres always table space. What I got: - cajun fried ribs (6/5) - SO tender its fall off the bone! Juicy and spiced so well. The creamy sauce on the side was also delicious. - side of coleslaw (5/5) - i wanted a side of veggies and the coleslaw was the perfect option! I love Cochon Butcher! Will be a repeat customer as long as I come to NOLA :) read more

Food: 4 Service: 4 Cleanliness: 4.5 Ambiance: 4.5 We found our way to Cochon Butcher after a trip to the WWII Museum. It's a super easy walk for a casual lunch. The vibe is laid-back with a menu full of hearty, comforting options. We ordered a little bit of everything: the Cochon Muffuletta, Cuban, burger, mac n' cheese, pretzel and sausage plate. Overall, everything was really good -- flavorful, filling and hit the spot. The only miss for me was the boudin. And honestly, that might just be a me thing. I wasn't totally sure what to expect, but the texture threw me off a bit. It was kinda mushy and looked raw. I'm guessing that's how it's supposed to be... just not my vibe. Would recommend stopping in if you're in the area. read more

I really enjoyed Cochon Butcher during my visit to New Orleans! It had the lovely perk of being open late while continuing to serve proper food. We ordered at the counter with the friendly staff, then found an open table and waited with our number. My friend and I tried the gambino sandwich, fried shrimp, duck pastrami sliders, and pea soup. The sandwich was like a classic Italian - good, nothing super unique. The duck pastrami sliders - while praised a lot on here - didn't have any of the characteristic richness or flavor of duck. It mostly just tasted like meat. Still, it was great. The portion sizes were somewhat small. Nevertheless, we chose an array of great local flavors and I would consider coming back if I were in town again! read more

TLDR: Cochon Butcher has always been a local legend, and now with a Michelin Bib Gourmand which is well deserved. I have been coming to Cochon Butcher ever since the late, great Anthony Bourdain recommended it, and it has only gotten better over time. Fast forward to 2025, and seeing them finally receive a Michelin Bib Gourmand feels like well earned recognition. I brought my wedding party here for our rehearsal lunch, and it could not have gone better. The staff was incredible. We called ahead since we had a large group, and they kindly reserved a section for us so we could enjoy our meal together. Everyone was blown away by how exceptional the food was for what is considered "fast casual." We practically ordered the entire menu, from the BBQ shrimp to the Cochon Muffaletta, the Cochon burger, and the boudin links. Every single dish was outstanding. The flavors, the portions, and the consistency were all on point. The drink menu deserves special mention too. The beer, wine, and cocktail list is excellent. The Hogwash Old Fashioned was the star of the show. The glass is rinsed with pork fat before mixing, giving it a subtle smoky depth that makes it unforgettable. We chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. Surrounded by good friends, great food, and the relaxed energy of New Orleans, it was a meal to remember. Michelin may have just discovered Cochon Butcher, but we have known for years that it is something special. read more
