    Waffle
    Evelyn D.

    Walked over from the Hilton. Egg -scrambled well done - tasty Bacon crispy - very flavorful Grits - the top part was very light but the base was solid and very gritty. A bit different but still tasty. Biscuit- tasted good. A little denser that I am use to but they use this for their sandwich so it needs the structure. Waffle- light and fluffy perfectly sweet.

    Fried Chicken and waffles

    I visited here based on Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. It was a 16 minute walk from my hotel but it was a beautiful day so I didn't mind. It's in a very quaint area. The restaurant was spacious and inviting. You can order at the counter or the table using a QR code. I ordered at the counter with a pleasant young lady and proceeded to sit near the window to get some sun. I ordered orange juice, a cafe au lait, fried chicken and waffles. I was handed my orange juice at the counter. My cafe au lait was delivered soon after I sat down and my chicken and waffles arrived about 15 mins later. The chicken was crispy and the waffle fluffy. The sauce used for the chicken was delicious. I probably should have asked what it was so I could bring some home. I would absolutely recommend. I went on an early Sunday morning and there wasn't a wait.

    My wife and I wanted to try a new restaurant each day we were here for our anniversary and we looked on Yelp and saw this place within walking distance from the hotel. This place is big and clean with just the right amount of tables so you don't feel on top of the people next to you. Must be a NOLA thing but you place your order upon entering and they bring it to your table. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was the best chicken and waffles I've ever had!!!! They debone a thigh, which is not seasoned but cooked to perfection. The waffle is topped with pecan butter. Add syrup and you have the perfect brunch. I highly recommend this place. After my wife tasted what I had she wished she would have ordered it.

    It was about a 14-minute walk from my hotel but was in the top 10 near me to try out for breakfast. I do believe I started my first meal in New Orleans just right! Very classic diner aesthetic and friendly staff. I'm sure I looked a little lost while looking around but bo worries the staff will be more than happy to assist with taking your order at the bar or you may put in a digital order by scanning the QR code at your table. I found the easiest version was to speak in person if you're anything like me. I tend to ask questions when it comes to a substitution or inquire about an unknown item. Although it has a southern home cooking style, there was clear balance to keep a lighter option available! I ordered the Morning Joy busicuit $9 English muffin, poached egg, gouda cheese, and bacon with a drizzle of their Yucatan Habanero Pepper hot sauce. I could not have been more satisfied mopping up the egg yolk. Each bite was exactly what I was looking for! I chose to try there Patria mexican medim dark roast, great cup of joe to pair with your morning breakfast!

    Home style breakfast and Louisiana love. The food was very filling and delicious. The staff are super patient and explain everything. Inside, you'll be taken through the history of the company and the brand. All of the tea and coffee boxes and antiques are super neat! Very welcoming and homey. They no longer serve beignets, sadly, but don't let that discourage you from giving them a try!

    Boudin Benedict
    Hong M.

    Easy walk from Ceasar's for breakfast. Nice, easy atmosphere. Order at the counter and seat yourself. The Boudin Benedict was delightful. The Chicken and Waffle was elevated with pepper jelly, although the chicken was a bit skimpy. Self-serve coffee options allow you to select medium, dark or chickory. We were able to get a good, quick breakfast before heading out to explore the city.

    I went for a late lunch and there were only a few other people in the restaurant. I wanted a shrimp Po' Boy and this was close to the hotel. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. The service was friendly and efficient. I was hungry as I hadn't eaten yet and the friend shrimp in the baguette looked sooo good. I put a bit of hot sauce on the shrimp and dove in. It was good though the bread was a bit dry on the ends. I ended up using a knife and fork to eat this sandwich because it was so big. In the end I couldn't even finish all the shrimp but I left with a happy tummy and ready to spend the day walking around this great city! It's definitely a good spot to hit for a casual meal.

    Nola proved to be an amazing experience for my daughter and me as the last leg of our Spring Break Southern Food Tour. After experiencing one fabulous meal after the next, on our last day, it was highly recommended we visit a particular establishment. But after finding out there was an hour wait, we decided against it. Not to worry, my restaurant sleuthing skills never failed me and I quickly found Luzianne Cafe. We needed one last fabulous meal in this fabulous town before we began our drive back to Chicago. And it did not disappoint. We pulled up and there was a decent line at this down-home, warm and inviting eatery. Diners ordered and paid at the counter and found their own seating. This was perfect as we really wanted to just eat something extraordinary and hit the road, without all the extra fanfare. We both ordered the chicken and waffles, a side of scrambled eggs with cheese, and coffee for there and to go. Of course we cleaned our plates... we were in N'awlins, after all. Even though there were no waiters, per se, the staff on hand made sure we had everything we needed to make this experience an exceptional one.

    Can't go wrong! It's so good, so cute & doesn't break the bank Me and my boyfriend went a few months back and loved it! Friendly staff - it was super busy but they got us right in and we found a table to sit at! Food was superior! Next time we're in Nola we are gonna have to stop! 10/10!

    Fried Shrimp Po'boy
    Amanda W.

    A quick search for breakfast and walking distance from our hotel brought us here. Customer service was good. You order your food and pick your own seat. The grits were good. Simple but tasty. I enjoyed the shrimp po boy. They were fried well. We're not locals and wanted to try some beignets. They were terrible. Just fried puffed up dough and empty on the inside. I was so disappointed I forgot to take a picture to explain what we saw.

    During our stay in NOLA, we stopped by luzianne during lunch, and we were not disappointed! We wanted to try a po boy and so glad we got it here! The fried shrimp po boy had perfectly fried shrimps with light lettuce and tomato mix with some fresh pickled cucumbers and mayo! The buns were toasted and the combo was so good and fresh! We also ordered the fried chicken sandwich! The chicken was delicious and fried perfectly. The flavors were more acidic forward with some tart notes to it, more than I expected, but it all worked and was really good! The seating is free for all and the food was served really fast! Nice little diner vibes and perfect for lunch!

    Really nice people and terrific food, especially for the price. The most perfect un-fancy eggs Benedict. Love it. Also lots of cool merch.

    This place is often overlooked and its a great little tourist stop. The prices are very good for the central business district; and in a city where it can be hard to get into places for breakfast, this place is more fast and efficient. Think of it more as a food hall, with counter service and the food is brought to your table. This is a great spot for someone who is heading to a convention and can't spend all morning at breakfast. The food is pretty solid and will give you just enough southern touch while still being a fully familiar menu. The coffee is excellent but mostly basic offerings. I'm an iced tea addict and enjoy that I can get my own refill and choose between sweet, unsweet, and mango tea. The best part is almost too understated - the cafe features the historic brands of French Market Coffee, Luzianne Tea, and Blue Plate Mayo. I would say that from a tourist perspective a lot of folks aren't that familiar with the brand heritage, and I would like to see more of the brand story within the building. But there is a retail area and old ads around the room if you are inclined to get better acquainted.

The highlight of the meal was easily the CALAS appetizer. The snapper pastrami brought a wonderful smoky depth that paired beautifully with the horseradish cream, and it was one of the few dishes that felt balanced, intentional, and memorable. A genuinely excellent start. Things became more disappointing once the entrees and cocktails arrived. The Rohan duck breast itself was cooked very well -- tender, properly rendered, and clearly prepared with care -- but what was never communicated by the staff was just how sweet the overall composition of the dish would be. Pairing that with cocktails that also leaned heavily sweet made the entire meal feel one-note and overwhelming by the midpoint of dinner. The red beans and rice suffered from the same issue. Despite the spice topping, the dish skewed surprisingly sweet and didn't complement the duck at all. What frustrated me most was that this felt entirely avoidable. At a restaurant with a cocktail reputation this strong, I would expect the wait staff to guide guests toward drinks that balance the meal rather than amplify the sweetness already present in multiple courses. Instead, no recommendations or warnings were offered, and the meal suffered because of it. I was especially underwhelmed by the Harlequin cocktail, which seems to receive a massive amount of online hype. In practice, it simply didn't justify the reputation. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the complexity and "wow" factor you would expect from a signature drink that's so heavily talked about. Overall, there are flashes of excellence here, particularly in the appetizer course and technical preparation, but the lack of thoughtful service and pairing guidance made the experience feel far less polished than advertised.

Walking in at 1:30 on a beautifully sunny Wed, we fully expected a wait. Instead, our two empty seats beckoned to us like a pretty girl winking at us across a bar in college. Marvin has been promoted to Beverage Manager. He left his bar in very good hands. The two young dudes carrying his torch were great. Very friendly and well aware each time we finished our drink and needed a reload. They're well-trained in the art of concocting the Sazerac we love.

We got there at 10:55am and there was a little line. When the doors opened, Oddly enough, there was a party of 5 sitting inside already?!?? Our bartender W took a while to come get our drink order and took longer to get, one of us never even got our beer. I pointed at someone's drink and told W I wanted that, the martini special. How is he gonna make me the drink minus the Baileys?!? I pointed to the drink I wanted, simple. My bf ordered a Abita, guess what 45 mins passed and he NEVER got his beer. We asked for the check and W said "oh your beer". Bro just give us the check and take off the beer. Worst service I've ever experienced. How you going to forget about someone's drink who's sitting right in front of you drink-less plus make a drink wrong. The carousel sits about 25 people and there's 2 bartenders?!? This isn't a club where drinks are getting shouted out. The only thing they have going for them is the rotating carousel bar if the SD one didn't close, I'd say pass and go to that one instead. One and done for me. Good luck if you get W as your bartender! And sir, no I'm not coming back after the game for you to make it right, make it right the first time!
