Steak Au Poivre
Akilah S.

Jonathan did good service. The restaurant is small. My friend and I really enjoyed our lunch. I had the steak . My friend had the crawfish bisque. They don't serve alcohol.

The food was incredible and absolutely delicious. The service was quick, warm, and friendly. The ambience was really cool, there's only about five or six tables inside, and the servers were very attentive. We loved everything we had here, and we will definitely be driving out to Metairie again for Dr. Jones! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6mg3XRy/

Had a great lunch here recently with great friends. I believe reservations are a must as the number of seats are limited. The hostess also served as the waitress and was very helpful and attentive. I ordered several small plates for my meal. I had the fried oysters, beet salad, and shrimp bisque. The fried oysters were delightfully crisp with a wonderful and unusual sauce and salad. At first, I had the thought of asking for tartar sauce, but as soon as I ate the oyster with the salad and sauce, I was excited by the flavors presented. The shrimp bisque was also a surprise. Instead of the traditional creamy bisque, this one had a brown, very flavorful broth. Much more like a great gumbo than a bisque, but I loved it and could have licked the bowl for the wonderful sauce. The last was the beet salad and it was the least exciting. Although good, I have had better beet salads.

The food and service were very good. I ordered the mushroom gnocchi and my husband ordered the steak au poivre. We shared the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was honestly delicious. My only critique is that the restaurant is tiny and where we sat felt very cramped. I would rate the food quality and creativity of the menu somewhere between four and five stars; I just wish the tables weren't so tiny and squished together.

This tiny place is amazing! Seats maybe 20 people inside and four outside. On street and lot parking. Wood tables and slate floors. We had the tapioca and Camembert croquettes. Savory and rich with light breading and Parmesan sprinkle, grilled shrimp with spices on coconut rice with a miirliton slaw. Lightly spicy and very fresh. Also had the marinated cucumber with crispy buckwheat. Attentive service! Very friendly! BYOB! sodas and water. Make reservations online for larger groups! Vegetarian friendly!

Got to try Dr. Jones today on a friend's recommendation. I was absolutely thrilled I listened. Just walking in, the smell of savory flavors filled the air and built an instant appetite. The space is very cozy and inviting, perfect afternoon feel. We had : Meat Pies Onion ring fritters Mirliton and cabbage salad Roasted Eggplant Crispy sweet potatoes & Bread pudding Every single dish was superb. Full of flavor, filling and very nicely presented. Service was excellent, friendly and over all environment was great. I could be a regular here.

It's rare to step into a restaurant before the doors open, an almost behind-the-scenes experience…read more You get to see what makes people tick and who they really are. In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I thought Southern's was pretty good overall. The menu offers some unique options, including…read morecreative chicken sandwiches and a few Asian-inspired fusion dishes that go beyond traditional Southern cuisine. I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal.

This is great place to go! It is kinda off the beaten path and easy to get to depending on traffic…read more More toward the west end near the airport. This restaurant is located in a great location. In a large shopping center. So parking is not an issue. They have plenty of parking that surrounds them. They have bunch of handicapped parking spots in the front with ramp on the right side. They do have a few steps in front for easy access. As you walk in, you are greeted by the staff. They mention that someone will be with us shortly. We went on a Sunday before it got crowded. They said we lucked out. They usually get busy when local churches get out. We quickly paid for our table and advised us we welcome to sit anywhere we like. They said they offer many discounts available. Please ask before paying. We sat at a table near the front of the restaurant and easy access to the buffet. They mainly have large tables with hard wood seats and no padding. The waitress quickly took our drink order. Started out with an Arnold Palmer. Rare that they offer that. I don't know so far that another restaurant that offers this. And an ice water. She mentioned that they offer a small selection of beer? We declined. (Drink responsibly) The first plate was sample plate to get my lay of the land. Unfortunately my first plate was full. I noticed that they offer gumbo. So I had to come back for another plate. No offense, the cup was not enough. I was surprised that they served fried swai not catfish. The cornbread was delicious! Usually they are dry at most places. Maybe they been sitting out so long they dry out. This is not the case with them. The gumbo was seasoned just right. It is only chicken and sausage gumbo. Not seafood. Usually you can tell when it is freshly made. To me, it not only look good but taste great! Unfortunately they did not have ice box cake available. Few of the reviews mentioned to definitely grab a piece. However, they did have freshly made bread pudding and chocolate delight. Both were delicious! I could go on about the food. I digress. They offer free Wi-Fi but is password protected. If you are in the area and want some good food. This place does not disappoint. In my opinion.

The red beans and rice are a must, the fried chicken was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the gumbo had just the right amount of kick.

They were flowing in when we arrived. The line was long, but the wait wasn't too bad. People were nice and friendly. . Food: Ok, the food... I know Mac & cheese and that wasn't it. It was spaghetti with cheese. I don't know why places call "spaghetti" ... macaroni - it's two different things. Anyways.. Hubby said it wasn't what he was expecting m, but it was just "ok". The chicken-he even chewed up the bones for the last taste he could get. He loved them!! He said he should have just got a plate of wings. The potato salad ' green sweet peas, we were not allowed to change from their daily special.. . Oh well - wasted food. He did taste them and absolutely nothing special about them. Now that cornbread muffin! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! We did take a u-turn, to go back for another one. Those little suckers melt in your mouth-my goodness. . Overall it was a solid 4.5 experience. Yes, will go back!

If you're looking for a dressy date night, this is not the place for you. But if you just want a hearty delicious meal in a fun atmosphere with friendly, attentive service- this is the place!!! We ordered: * Watermelon mojito - very refreshing * Hurricane - boozy * Ribeye special * Short rib special * Eggplant pirogue * Barbecue shrimp - which Daniel, our server who clearly loved his job and joyfully took care of all his customers, graciously peeled for me All our meals included the complimentary corn bread, a spinach salad, and 2 side dishes (we had the corn, mashed potatoes, and shoestring fries). The meal was already so filling, but our wonderful Daniel brought us a toasted coconut caramel bread pudding with 4 spoons! This place is packed every day after 7pm, but if you come early...you should be able to score a table. Reservations can be made for larger parties. It's a little out of the way, but worth the trip!
