Great food and service. The lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious. Don't forget to get a bread basket!!

Great location, decent parking options. Benches to wait before being seated. I recommend getting on the waitlist before showing up. The vibe of the restaurant is A+ very Instagramable. Our server Bryce was very attentive but not pushy as some servers don't give you much time between receiving food and checking on you. The food, baby the FOOD!!!! Everything we ordered was fantastic. Well seasoned, cooked well. The Banana Fosters was surprisingly still crispy even with having a scoop of ice cream on top. This place is a MUST for you to try. Only 1 thing that I wasn't a fan of. Kelsey - not sure on the spelling. She was RUDE for zero reason, our server was busy but we needed small plates for the monkey bread (no picture because we started eating it immediately - DELICIOUS!!) I asked her and she barely turned her head to recognize I spoke to her, she replied with a quick yes and an annoyed look like I asked her to borrow money. Just nasty for no reason. Anywhoo - GO!! Go and GO! You won't regret it. read more

The food is very good.... The only down fall is there is no where to wait while waiting to be serviced. Service was great to an extent... We had a party of 12, the waitress needed help but it was just her, she did good for the party size. The other down fall is they don't serve Bacon (Pork) also we purchased 4 bottles of Champagne w/ shot glasses of orange juice. Each additional orange juice is $3 (crazy work)... all in all the food was Good...I Loved the fact that the cook came out & chatted with us... it was my sisters birthday brunch...9/10 id Patronize again on a less crowded day read more

The local is nice. I loved the disco ball and the yellow accents. Nice ambiance inside withe cute photo ops areas. The food is averaga. I had the farmers platter and asked for the eggs scramble with cheese. The hasbrowns could have been more crispy. The duck bacon was ok. I'm just a lover for pork bacon. The service was a little lacking. Our server, Missy was cordial but so busy she was not able to check on us. Every time we needed something we had to chaser. At the end we asked for water and she never made it. I hope they get more servers to avoid this. read more

We were nicely greeted at the door and able to be seated quickly which was a bonus, as it was fairly busy. Server Missy was prompt, cheerful and provided top service. Among us, we had the Acadian Assets, and the Brisket Hash dishes, with a shared side of duck bacon. The Assets dish came out luke warm, and Missy made it right. The Hash dishes were worthy, however a bit scant on the brisket (I was expecting a hearty brisket layer). Overall a good choice for our work group as we were famished from a morning appointment. read more

Stopped in here before the Femme Fatale parade. Everything was great. Our server was nice and attentive. I got the strawberry lemon drop. What a great cocktail. I got sugar around the rim, but if you skip it, it won't take away from the drink. The chicken benny was good. I got a side of hash browns, but the portion of the chicken benny was so good that I didn't really need the additional food. My mom got the lemon ricotta pancakes and really liked them. We got here pretty early, so it wasn't busy, but if you want to go later than about 10 I would recommend adding yourself to the waitlist before you arrive. I'll definitely be back! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my leisurely breakfast at Crack'd. I found it while looking for a spot during a weekend trip to New Orleans. Some restaurants can be a bit weird about solo diners, but the staff here was great about my table of one! I started with the crab cake appetizer, which comes with two good-size cakes. For my main, I got the farmers platter. They serve merguez (lamb) sausage and duck bacon, which is delicious, but if lamb and duck aren't your thing - be warned! Since I was using rideshare that weekend, I'm not sure about parking, but I did not see a parking lot. Most of the neighborhood is street parking. read more

The location and presentation were both aesthetically pleasing, but I would not recommend eating here for the food. I will say that the monkey bread and latte was yummy. But, I was so excited to order the bacon tower and it was cold. We saw that the table next to us had theirs torched, so this could have been an oversight but it was nevertheless unenjoyable to eat. I was also disappointed in the croissant royale -- the cheese was not melted on the sandwich and the side of arugula was wilted. read more

This was my second experience dining at Crack'D, and it was disappointing. We were seated 35 minutes after our reservation time. We had to keep returning to the hostess stand to ask if our table was ready, what's the point of using OpenTable for a reservation if the automated notification feature isn't utilized? Once we were seated, we were quickly greeted by our server Kelsey, and our drinks and starters of monkey bread and crab rangoon, both were served hot and delicious arrived promptly. The service took a downturn when Kelsey, legit disappeared on us. It took 40 minutes to place our order, then another hour and half wait for our food, while dirty plates and empty glasses piled up on the table. When the food finally arrived, it was luke warm and not fresh, except for one friend's dish, which was hot. Our table ordered a seafood omelette, two steak and eggs( one returned back to the kitchen as the steak burnt), a chicken sandwich, and the chicken and waffles. With "large party" gratuity included (when did a party of five qualify as a large group?), our waitress had little motivation to offer better service, even with our almost $300 bill and a $42 tip that felt undeserved. read more

Great menu with a good variety they serve brunch until 2:30pm and close at 3pm sat. Brie helped find some great brunch choices. I ordered the farmers platter, 3 over easy eggs,hash browns & toast with 2 lamb sausage and a piece of duck bacon. This is what I recommend if you can't decide. A little bit of everything with sweet thin coating on duck bacon, and savory lamb sausage and eggs My Wife got specialty mushroom omelette and said is fresh and tasty. Our server Brie sad bedtime is before 10am for brunch on Sunday We were sat right away at 2:15pm we just beat the 2:30 pm guideline to order your food before they close kitchen at 3pm. My 3 over easy eggs were could just right still runny and soft. I prefer has browns cooked more but it didn't detract from flavor. Next time I will ask for crispy hash browns. Great decor, a large variety of beverages including tea,coffee, cocktails and mocktails. Great name l, great service and really good food. Thanks for letting get crack'd in NOLA read more

I want to preface this with, "this was my experience," and it looks like some people here had great experiences. Wish I could add to it but my visit was whack! We went because the place we wanted to go to was closed. The place is cute! Hip and cool! The hostess was friendly. Since we didn't have a reservation, we were giving a side table in the front. Nice bathroom too! Nice presentations! That's about all the nice things I can say. Yo said no one acknowledged her while I was in the restroom. After I sat down, she went, and no one came to me either. After she returned, we waited...and waited....and waited. Finally "K "came over and was not the most welcoming, no eye contact, no excitement, and we ordered drinks. And waited...and waited...and waited...but I noticed the two tables that were sat after us, already had their drinks. After she dropped off our drinks we ordered. And waited...and waited...and waited. The two tables ahead of us were already eating. So we waited, and waited. The family of four sitting near the window received their food, but one dish was missing. And they were waiting. They waited so long, they ended up getting the dish to go. The father did wave over one of the owners/managers. Here's the kicker. About 15 minutes later, a couple was seated next to us. When they ordered their food, the server told us our food would be up soon. But the couple got their food first! They felt bad! And then ours came out a few minutes later. The Dubai waffle was beautiful...but cold, like it had been sitting in the window for a while. I wondered if we had ordered the kid's size brisket skillet...small and "where's the beef?" What could've been a great breakfast was just wrong on so many levels! Sure, I could've said something, but I shouldn't have to. We were right in front. Two owners/managers and a hostess could clearly see us, but should also know what's going on, on the floor. Again, this was my experience, and I was on vacation. It matters. But for now, all I can say is, "Crack'd is whack!" read more

I returned here a few weeks ago on a Saturday. Again found nearby street parking to pay for at a reasonable cost. I made reservations but they were limited. So, we decided to show up as a walk-in at an earlier time. Fortunately a high-table opened up after only a 15 min wait. So, I cancelled the later reservation. The vibes were good. The staff person who tended to our table, Assata, was very cool. She was friendly, had good vibes and also had good food recommendations. On this visit I ordered the seafood omelet. It came with a small side salad. The salad was basically just greens and tomatoes but it was so fresh and tasty. I also had a cappuccino. I enjoyed everything that I ordered. read more

I will preface this by saying I believe the management is 100% at fault for the issues described. We waited for an hour for our food, which was not the best flavor-wise. We rarely saw our server, and when we did, he was loudly criticizing the problems he was having with his team and cursing right next to us. When we were seated, we ordered everything upfront as to avoid delays, but did not get our food until 45 minutes later. Our coffee sat at the bar and became watery from the ice and its overall quality was not good. We also got told at the very end that our banana foster toast was unavailable, despite ordering it an hour prior and not being told this then. Side note, when we order this we expressed that one of us had a tree nut allergy, but our server was initially stubborn to remove the nuts from the dish before settling on omitting it. The restaurant was too packed and too busy for the staff that was onsite, and better management could have prevented the issues that were also present outside of our dining experience. Tables of four were seated at smaller tables for two, causing dropped cups and broken glass. I rarely ever have a bad experience when dining, but this was perhaps the worst experience I've ever had. It disappoints me to have even written this, as I was extremely excited to try this place. I don't believe I will be returning until something changes. read more

There's always tiny bits of shell. Definitely not a deal breaker but enough to remind me not to do that. Service was good. I'd definitely go again.

Crack'd has been a consistent brunch spot and I would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal. Ive only visited during the week and they've been pretty steady but service is quick. Never needed a reservation during the week but Im sure weekends are a different story. This last visit I tried the hot honey chicken sandwich. It was really good and the fry connoisseur in me was very pleased with the crispy shoestring fries. The chicken sandwich had a great flavor but it was definitely more "hot" than "honey." The fried green tomato on the sandwich was the addition. read more

I used to work as a server, so I understand how important proper seating flow is during a busy brunch rush. When I visited recently, I noticed the hostess was seating too many tables at once without considering the servers' workload. The servers themselves were doing a great job and were very friendly, but it was obvious they were overwhelmed trying to manage multiple new tables back-to-back. The issue wasn't the service -- it was the lack of organization at the front. A better seating system would make a huge difference for both the staff and the customer experience. read more

The atmosphere is hella cute! The restaurant staff was very kind and accommodating. Now to the food..... we had the steak eggs and hash brown entree which the hash browns was swimming in oil, the steak was a little cold but had really good flavor and the eggs were good. We also tried the ricotta lemon pancakes these were dense and heavy but had really good flavor. They were also extremely small. Now to the Duck Bacon....this was yumlious, drizzling some syrup on top and it was oh so good. The manager did come over to chat with us about our food and experience he mentioned the system in the kitchen glitched which caused an extremely long wait for food. I do understand that this causes a lot of stress in the kitchen and on the rest of the staff. He did make it right and apologized. We will be back to give it a second try. Overall cute place and a great location to host a girls brunch, bday brunch or what ever. There were a lot of big parties just having a great time! read more

Crack'D was such a fun spot to eat lunch at and very trendy. It did get a little confusing to find the entrance, but one of the helpful employees saw that we were lost and guided us to the door. I will say there was a strange strong smell of incense when we came in, but it faded after about 15 minutes or so. There's a good amount of seating available as well as two single stall bathrooms and a bar. We didn't have reservations, but we had no issues getting a table on a Tuesday. I ordered the seafood gumbo and the house salad. I actually loved the gumbo and considered it tied for 1st with another place for my favorite gumbo during my NOLA trip. I didn't love the house salad though -- it had too much vinegar and stung my lips as I was eating it. The cheese also didn't taste that good with the salad so I just poked around it. I also tried the white cheddar grits, which was just okay. read more

My friends and I went here randomly on a Sunday morning. We made a reservation through yelp, and I'm happy we did because it was busy!! Cute atmosphere with a cracked ceiling to go along with the name. We sat and our waiter was okay, would've liked him to be a little more attentive. I ordered the duck bacon, and was disappointed. I like my bacon to have crisp to it and this had none. I also ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich which was great!! The perfect size for brunch and had the right amount of spice. However, I did have to send my fries back because they came to the table cold. They immediately got me hot fries and apologized for the inconvenience, which I thought was great! The reason for the two stars: My friend ordered the Acadian Assets, which was supposed to come with a crawfish cream sauce. When her plate arrived there was no cream sauce, and when asked why they said they stopped making it and they shouldn't hadn't changed the menu. They did take it off the bill, but they should take that off the menu and not assume the waiter/waitress is going to remember to tell the customers. The second reason is my friend and I ordered a spicy margarita. They served us a margarita with hot sauce in it and pickled vegetables! I couldn't believe. I will give this place another try, but will not a go to spot for me. read more

I'm in love with this restaurant! It's at a corner of a 4way intersection you can't miss it, the interior is nicely decorated and the beautiful natural light that comes in just sets the mood for the day. The cracked ceiling and light within it was a really nice touch. Our server and the service was A1. The reason I am in love with this place....two words (Duck Bacon!!). I mean come on, I love Duck and have never considered Duck bacon. The presentation and the flavor! You just have to try it. The entire meal was absolutely delicious. The ( seafood omelet, lemon ricotta pancakes, cocktail and hash brown done right CccRISPY !) with three C's. Will make this a regular spot on my future visits. read more

I really want to give this place five stars as the food was absolutely amazing, but the customer service here fell flat and is the main reason why they're falling two stars short for me. We made reservations a few weeks ago for a group of 12. I knew how hard it was to be able to make reservations for a group that large, but when they said they could accommodate, I was excited as I read a ton of great reviews about this place. When we arrived, they didn't have the table ready for us, which was fine, but when they finally did, they basically had a table of 6 ready for us to be sat for a table of 12. How were we going to be able to fit into that table with a group of girls; not even to mention the food. So we told the servers and they were trying to force our hand to sit there. It was NOT going to be comfortable and our argument was extremely valid. Not everyone was even sitting yet and our table felt tight. Then to my right, I heard the server complain and say "Why'd you guys even come here?" Excuse me? WOW. The saving grace was the food and the decor of this place. The dishes were good, but I especially LOVED the french toast bananas foster. read more

We ordered a wide variety of food, and the shrimp and grits were delicious; this was my second time having them. They are not your average, mediocre shrimp and grits. The gravy is luxurious, with carrots, shrimp, and sautéed celery cooked throughout, and you can tell it was made with love. The crab cakes were also delicious, served with eggs Benedict. The duck bacon tower is always a favorite, though they ran out of rosemary. The usual presentation includes flamed rosemary alongside the duck bacon, but that was not the case this time. The monkey bread was extremely tasty as well, resembling a dessert with pecan sauce or praline sauce--it was delicious all around. They forgot to serve us our crab Rangoon, so we asked them to take it off the order. We also ordered hash browns with eggs, but they arrived cold, so we sent them back after trying one bite. The lemon drop and strawberry lemon drop cocktails were perfectly blended and tasted great. There's a $25 bottle option for mimosas, which is better than getting individual mimosas for $15 each. Originally, when they first opened, you could bring your own bottle, but that policy changed, likely because they now have a liquor license. We were disappointed to have to take the bottles of champagne we brought and set them aside on the floor. It felt as if we were being rushed by the young lady who greeted guests in the restaurant. She was friendly yet somewhat dismissive. There was an error on our receipt, and when we pointed it out, she was quite pushy and irritated. When we explained that we were waiting for our waiter to remove the crab Rangoon from our bill, she seemed frustrated. She went to the back to speak with our waiter about the discrepancy, and he returned with the corrected receipt. My review has changed since my first visit, as my expectations were very high due to the amazing service I experienced then. Unfortunately, many aspects have changed, and I felt somewhat disappointed this time. However, the food was generally delicious, aside from one plate being cold and a dish we originally ordered not being served. Will I be back? I'm unsure, as there are many other brunch spots in New Orleans with better service. read more

Incredible ambiance and even better breakfast. As a classic breakfast lover, Crack'D was one of the few places in Nola that served a classic breakfast with some cultural twists. We started off with Just Bring Us the Basket and their muffins are made in house and leaves you thinking about them days later. For entrees we got chicken and waffles and the farmers platter.

We had an amazing brunch at Crack'd in New Orleans! The vibe was on point--great music, a lively yet relaxed ambiance, and top-tier service from start to finish. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich, which was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sweet heat. It came with fries that were golden and seasoned just right. We started with the bacon appetizer, and let me just say--don't skip it! Crispy, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal. My youngest daughter had the kids' smash burger and fries, and she devoured it (which says a lot!). My oldest went with the seafood omelette, which was packed with fresh Gulf flavors, and my son-in-law ordered the Smoke in Paris--a unique and flavorful choice he's still talking about. Crack'd delivered on all fronts: food, service, music, and overall vibe. Definitely worth the visit whether you're local or just brunchin' your way through NOLA. read more

Our only issues were that one person in our party received a dirty mimosa glass and an order of eggs was never received, but was on the bill.
