    Chicken and waffles
    Tiffiny C.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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!

    Decided to go here for my aunt's bridal brunch. I've heard of it before and thought it'd be somewhere nice to go. I made reservations online Thursday night for Saturday afternoon. I received text reminders about our reservation and we received a text saying our table was ready 5 mins before our reservation which was nice. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly host and he showed us to our seats. The decor is really cute and the music they played was nice. Our table ordered a few different things. We ordered the bacon tower, grits, brisket hash skillets, seafood omelets, and one chicken and waffle plate. Cocktails ordered were the slow down relax and the lemon berry vodka slush. For some reason the slush wasn't on the menu, but I saw the machines behind the counter and asked our waiter about it. I think if it was listed on the menu, or even on a little card on each table(like people have to display happy hour menus) more people would order it. My aunt was surprised when I received it and was like I didn't see that on the menu, I probably would've ordered one. It tasted pretty good to me, but was kind of on the higher side as it was $17 and the cup was small in my opinion. The brisket hash skillet was okay, but I felt like it was dry. The brisket wasn't juicy but pretty crispy. It needed a salsa or some kind of sauce to go on it. I asked my waiter and he said they didn't have any salsa or sauce for it, but that there was some kind of crawfish sauce I could get. I ordered that and it helped the skillet. However it was $5 and the sauce cup was really small. My aunt enjoyed her chicken and waffles and my other aunts enjoyed the omelets. Bacon was nice and crispy but did have a little kick/spice as it had red pepper flakes on it. My aunt said grits were okay but got stiff pretty quick. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and our waiter Bryce , along with the host (I can't remember his name), was really nice. I'd go again but would probably get a different entree.

    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.

    Croissant Royale
    Ellie M.

    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.

    Steak and eggs
    Ashley C.

    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.

    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

    We had a WONDERFUL experience. The food was excellent, The duck bacon...mmm mmm mmm! Mimosas anyone?! Yes please! Missy was excellent, very helpful, very experienced and patient. We had a party of 8 and was from both Ohio and Michigan We were there to celebrate my birthday. The experience was so positive that we went back(not a good visit). BUT I will still visit again when I go back.

Both were outstanding. The Bananas Foster French Toast was rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. The bananas and sauce were the perfect complement to the French toast, making it feel like a New Orleans dessert and breakfast all in one. The Boudin Breakfast Biscuit was equally impressive. The biscuit was fresh and flaky, and the boudin added a delicious Cajun flavor that set it apart from a typical breakfast sausage. Every bite was savory, satisfying, and uniquely Louisiana.

If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for a memorable breakfast, put this place on your list. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

This place is a true gem. I can't wait to come back and try more. Such a great experience.

It was massive and very hard to eat, and there was a lot of fried chicken skin. The mayo on the sandwich was definitely homemade and had a very strong egg flavor, so I would go without that next time. The biscuit was probably the best biscuit I've ever had. As a California girl, I think the flavors might have just been a little too strong for me, but still a great spot to stop by.

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. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!

I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.
