    Crack'D Brunch was a solid Friday brunch spot. We came in around 10 AM with a party of 7 and were seated quickly. It was already pretty lively, but the restaurant is comfortable, spacious, and really well decorated. Our table covered a good chunk of the menu: seafood omelette, catfish sandwich, chicken & waffles, blue crab rangoon, blueberry muffin, and I had the Mac Daddy mac & cheese with fried crawfish. Everybody was happy with their food. We skipped the liquor, but the sweet tea was great. My only issue with my meal was the fried crawfish came covered in buffalo sauce, which I don't remember seeing mentioned on the menu. I didn't feel like sending it back and it was FINE, but I would've enjoyed it way more without the buffalo sauce. My friend specifically told me I had to mention the blueberry muffin She loved that it was organic and said you could tell the blueberries were actually fresh. Service was just okay. Kelsey wasn't rude at all, but she wasn't particularly friendly or engaging either. Maybe the automatic 20% gratuity has something to do with that, maybe not. And speaking of the bill... heads up: they won't split checks at the table, even if it's just two people. Also, $4 for a sweet tea?? WTF Overall though, the food was good, the atmosphere was fun, and everyone left happy with what they ordered. I'd definitely come back, but next time I'm asking for that crawfish with NO buffalo sauce.

    The food is absolutely delicious and their espresso martini is one of the best in the city, the service is great the people are so friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is nice just a little loud would love to hear better music at this establishment

    Monkey bread
    Victoria P.

    I've been wanting to come here for so long so I'm glad I finally made my way. It was super packed so I'm glad I had reservation! Everything I had was really good and the service was good too despite our server being really busy! The monkey bread was delicious but we did have to ask for some extra sauce. The chicken and waffles were good too but I actually didn't try the cone that came with it lol. Also, aesthetically this restaurant is super cute!

    Came in on a Saturday morning around 10a and was able to be seated right away! Our server came over shortly after , but I didn't catch her name. And honestly I didn't even remember her telling us. She was kinda cold fr! She didn't really seem to care to be there, in a weird type of way. Ngl the sandwich was nasty... the bread was hard and I don't know if the guacamole was dark because of the heat from the bacon and egg, or they have it just in a container.. who knows, but it wasn't the best. The mimosas were good, I mean it's mimosas. It's street parking and you will have to pay for it. Overall I won't go back, and it if I did.. I would stick to some drinks.

    Banana Fosters French toast
    Lorie D.

    The food was great in presentation and taste. I enjoyed the banana fosters French toast but would get it without the ice cream next time as it was a bit much for breakfast time. It was perfect texture and enough for two to share. Service was good and chill atmosphere. I was pleased with everything I ate. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

    À la cart eggs, hash browns and a biscuit
    Emma P.

    Omg this place was so good. Me and my friends were looking for a brunch spot last minute and without even making a reservation, they were able to get us a table, which was great seeing how packed they were. The food was phenomenal and so unique! the prices were good , the vibes are so fun and it's just a cute place overall.

    Love this little place! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation or add yourself to the waitlist to avoid longer wait times. This is my third time and have yet to run into something I don't like. Highly recommend the monkey bread, steak and eggs, and any of their waffles. If you want the best service, ask for Missy! She's the sweetest lady and is so attentive even with how busy it is!!

    Ghina P.

    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.

    Chicken and waffles
    Tarika S.

    Decided to have a little bridal sprinkle here for my sister's wedding. This place was very cute in the inside. The staff were really friendly. Loved Joel he was entertaining. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. We had the duck bacon, so good and flavorful. I had the chicken and waffles. It was really good. I also had some of my sister's seafood omelette. And I appreciated that real crabmeat was used and plentiful. Also the sauce on top was delicious. I will definitely be back .

    Brisket Hash Skillet w Poached Eggs (one extra added)
    Erik F.

    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.

    Strawberry lemon drop
    Janna J.

    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!

    Smoked Salmon Rosti

    When I arrived I was told there was a 45 minute wait. 1 hour and 10 minutes passed so I decided to go inside and ask about the wait time. After I asked, the hostess was able to immediately seat me. What I found odd was, 30 minutes past after I was seated, and I received a notification that my table was ready, which leads me to believe staff doesn't keep track of the waitlist, so if you plan to eat there, I suggest just waiting at the restaurant for quicker service. The atmosphere is fairly average, for a brunch restaurant, the presentation of some of their dishes is unique. The food, the smoked salmon rosti was delicious, however the crab cake benedict was fairly bland and the flavors in the dish did not complement each other which tasted fairly curious. I also had a cold brew martini (not pictured) which could have been better.

    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.

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go. The place is much bigger than I initially expected. There are 2 floors with seating. It would be hard to accommodate a large party but there's plenty of seating. I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice.
