Why wasn't there a line out the door like "Two Chicks Café"? That, I don't know. She wanted to hit the popular breakfast spot but while walking, we saw the ridiculous line outside. Being observant, I spotted Lux Café, which is on the ground floor of an office building. I used my influence and was able to pursuade the pivot move to Lux Café. Once inside, there was a small line but the café was modern and everyone's food looked tasty. The host quickly found us a table for four, even though it looked full to capacity. You have to order at the counter, pay, and then they'll bring your food to you once it's ready. Our food was excellent. The avocado toast, seafood grits, and the chicken and waffles were all hits! We ended up at Two Chicks Café the next day, but listen to me closely, skip the line and just come to Lux, I liked Lux just a tad better!! :) read more

We came here on a Saturday morning during our trip and our experience was okay. The lady assigning tables was very nice and funny once we spoke to her, but she was assigning tables to people who came in after us and seemed to be skipping over us? She was also handing out menus and we were also skipped for that. Once we flagged her down, she told us she would find us a table, then forgot about us. That was fine though, we did not have a problem finding a table once we got our food. The host was very nice once we were seated. It is an order at the front then find a seat kind of restaurant. When you order a coffee or drink, they give it to you while you're standing in line so you have to hold them which I thought was a little odd to be holding hot coffee with no cream or sugar yet until I got to the table. Also, the line took a while to go through, but we didn't really mind that. The whole vibe just was not that welcoming. On to the food, I had the crawfish omelet and my wife had the banana stuffed french toast. Hers was amazing. Mine needed more seasoning or something. I added some salt and it was okay. The potatoes, however, were very good. Nice and crispy. read more

Happy New Year!!!! Our first meal in 2026 started for us at Lux Cafe! With the College Playoff Games in New Orleans, every restaurant was packed! Lux Cafe had their process for big crowds. You can tell they are used to this type of busy. It did take sometime to order with a 5 minute wait in line, however our party of 4 was able to eat a wonderful meal. They recommended the majority of the party to sit while one made the order, this actually worked and people came and went like a well oiled machine. The staff, while overworked, were NICE! Ambiance is casual. Let's get into it! Chicken and Waffle - My mama said it was one of the best she'd had! Meat Lover Omelette - Delicious Avocado Toast - Delicious Cajun Fish and grits - Yummy! SUPER YUMMY and would come again! read more

So I was scouring yelp looking for a new brunch place I hadn't tried yet. Found this place, it had good reviews but I was surprised I had never heard of it. Idk why it's not in more people's radar but their loss cause this place was amazing. Immediately when we walked in we were greeted by two servers. They explained the set up to us which was that you had to order at the counter but the food would be brought to you. My sister and I struggled choosing what to get as the menu had great options. We were between the seafood grits and the breakfast lo boy. Ultimately we both decided on seafood grits, I know it's dumb but my sister said she didn't wanna share. Honestly I'm glad we didn't because I cleaned that plate. The grits were so good. Perfectly creamy. The seafood mix and sauce was sooo good. Lots of cheese but Not too salty. It was just great. We had no notes. The only con I can think of is the parking but that's the CBD for you. Overall a nice laidback brunch spot with friendly service and good food. I will be back. read more

The crêpe was perfectly sweet, and the pancakes were fluffy, fresh, and topped with the perfect combination of fruit and whipped cream. Everything was rich in flavor and made with so much attention to detail. Such a cute spot with delicious food -- definitely worth the visit! read more

Solid 4 stars. We had great service by Lo! The food, I'd rate a 4. We tried one savory dish and one sweet dish. The seafood grits were just okay to me. I think they could have used a bit more seasoning, but Lo did bring us some extra sauce which helped. We also shared the banana stuffed french toast and this was also just okay. The bread was a bit soggy and difficult to cut. I think this dish could use some crunchy pralines to take it up a notch. I would probably just try something different next time. read more

The poboy was well executed. Shrimp was fresh and seaosned, all the other toppings were fresh as well and a welcome sight to cut the heaviness of the sandwich. Overall, Lux Cafe brought great food and good service to a cute restaurant! Need a brunch spot? Try Lux cafe next time! read more

My visit to Lux Café was intended to be a highlight of our first meal in New Orleans. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. Despite the posted Saturday hours of 7 AM to 7 PM, we arrived to find the café closed early. Given the bustling atmosphere in the city, especially with a Superdome concert and numerous seminars taking place, I expected the restaurant to remain open. This was disappointing, especially after a long four-hour flight and a desire to support local businesses. Regrettably, I cannot recommend Lux Café at this time. read more

This meal was the epitome of New Orleans and possibly one of my favorite dishes in all of New Orleans. Ambiance is meh but the service is great. We had the sweetest southern lady wait on us and she was as hospitable as can be. Honestly was hesitant to try this place at first because the name "lux" usually screams over-priced bland food like Los Angeles or Dubai cafes. But I was wrong. Still think they should change their name. Nonetheless, Go here. Order the Cajun biscuits. Ask for an extra biscuit. read more

Second time here, super busy compared to the first time I was here with a large group (Nov 2024). There were probably 30 people seated already and 15 people ahead of me in line to order. I stayed because I remembered the food being good previously (& I had time). Once I ordered, I was able to get a seat at the bar right away but I know there were some groups waiting for tables. Food took about 15 mins to come out but was very hot and clearly just made. The chicken biscuit was okay, not the best I ever had but still good. The potatoes and iced chai latte were delicious! Would go back again if you have the time to wait! read more

Found this place doing a Google search of top restaurants in NO. Looked at the reviews and menu and decided to try them out. This hidden gem is conveniently located in the business district and did not disappoint. We had the ultimate seafood grits and the chicken and waffles. The portion sizes were huge and they both tasted absolutely amazing. I had catfish/shrimp and grits 3 times from 3 different restaurants during my stay and this was hands down the best spot we had them from. The only con is they only have one cashier and the line was long to place our order. I would suggest they get a hand held point of sale system, this way when the line gets long during their peak hours people don't have to stand in a long line to place their order, they can just place it with the waiter. read more

Conveniently located in the CBD on the first floor of the Exchange Center. There's ample metered parking on the streets surrounding the building. We were greeted immediately by Sharon, the manager and other staff then seated. There were many items to choose from including a vegan option. I ordered a crawfish omelette which was paired with breakfast potatoes. The dish was perfectly seasoned and filling. I also ordered an iced matcha latte which was refreshing. My husband ordered chicken and waffles and cheese grits. He described his dish as mouthwatering. From the small bite I took from his dish, it tasted like a it could almost be dessert. If you have a sweet tooth, the chicken and waffles would be perfect. Both my husband and I were impressed and would definitely visit again to try other dishes. read more

The crepe of the day was called el Bandito and had quite a kick with chicken and jalapeño ... our kids had strawberry and chocolate and loved it so much they ordered a second one. It's a one-man operation so be sure to arrive with patience and grace. He made our coffees before the crepes so we were happy sipping while waiting.

All the crepes we had (and we had a lot), were delicious. The ambiance was very quiet which is a…read morenice change from many local restaurants. The most interesting and unique part of the experience was the man behind the counter, who was very surly and grumpy. In a curry full of southern hospitality and servers that go out of their way to give you a good experience, he made sure to let everyone know how much he disliked his job. I can't lie, I respect his honesty. He was overwhelmed with orders, working alone, and wasn't afraid to tell us all about it! Would definitely return. Everyone should try this place!

First off, that honey butta hot chicken sandwich is so delicious. The spice and sweet and the butta is so rich and leaves a long lasting impression. That is the bite you'll be thinking about and returning for. But don't sleep on the donuts either! Normally I'm not huge on donuts but that lil peanut butta cup donut with the whipped peanut mouse and chocolate ganache...yeah ima need that. It's perfectly balanced with the bitter chocolate ganache, and the light mouse. Obviously, after you're eating all this, you're gonna need something to wash it down. They have an excellent selection of coffee and teas, I enjoyed their chai latte, which wasn't too sweet for my pallet. After I thought I couldn't eat anymore, the chicory ice cream spoke to me so I had to answer. Stopping here made for a perfect day of indulgence than walking up and down magazine Street and shopping. The staff here is so nice too! They let us come hang out back here after we were done shopping and needed to rest for a bit. Which was nice because this place has a decent amount of seating and a little patio in the back and some seats out front. I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody. Who's in town in New Orleans!

The first floor has a bar where you can sit and watch the kitchen plate the food, which is a nice touch. Upstairs offers more formal seating along with a balcony, giving the place a different vibe depending on where you land. We ordered the shrimp and grits, and they lived up to the hype, excellent flavor, well-balanced, and cooked exactly right. We also had the cast iron seared fish, which was swordfish that day. It was seasoned perfectly and very tasty, with no need for anything extra. Overall, the food was well-executed and thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking for a New Orleans spot that takes its cooking seriously without being over the top, Gris-Gris delivers.

The chicken and dumplings was excellent, as was the shrimp and grits. Cocktails were less exciting, I think they just didn't suit our tastes in some cases, but seemed well made. However the frozen Irish coffee was pretty fantastic!

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!

We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. 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.
