The day before Mother's Day, when the grand kids arrive from Atlanta, we can't find a table in town. A quick call at 10:45 am to Jeff at the reception desk at "Orleans on Carroll" in Perry Georgia assured us a table, where "Toast" reservation service would not. No worries, Jeff came through for our party of five. The pics cannot describe how delicious and well prepared our food was, and our server was very gracious and efficiently facilitated the order. It was our second visit to Orleans on Carroll, but won't be our last. read more

. We accidentally found this restaurant after going to another restaurant in Perry who had run out of the items we were looking for. We're glad we found it and we'll return because the food was wonderful and reasonably priced and they had a nice outdoor patio. read more

Orleans On Carroll - Cajun pasta with shrimp - Southern Near Me - Perry, Georgia

I have been to this restaurant a few times. Each time, the service has been phenomenal. I don't know if the previous times were luck because I've just been asked to wait 45 minutes at 3:30 because they have reservations that are arriving at 4. In all fairness, my party had 4 adults and 5 children, so I can understand a wait time, but the restaurant had more than half of the tables visibly empty and no other parties waiting. The greeter asked that we wait for the manager, who came to the entry where we were waiting. She did not bother to speak to us, so we waited for her to let the greeter know what to tell us. After we were told to wait 45 minutes, we left. Other than this disappointing experience, we have had no complaints here. The food is very fresh. I love being able to taste the ingredients. My favorite is the jambalaya. The setting is romantic. It's a great place for a date or adult gathering. You can be comfortable dressing casual or more dressy if you wish. I will likely return to this establishment, and I do recommend it if you have a reservation. read more

Orleans is a hidden gem in downtown Perry. As soon as we pulled up, I felt like we were no longer in little Perry,GA. The exterior definitely took me back to my many visits to the bustling city of New Orleans. This restaurant stays packed, and it is hard to get a reservation if you don't book one in advance, especially on the weekend. They have a large bar off to the left when you walk in the front door. During our first visit on a Saturday night, we sat at the bar, and we were impressed with the friendly staff, handcrafted cocktails, and attentive service. The ambiance was upscale and beautifully decorated. The music was nice. The only thing missing was a live jazz band. I had the shrimp and grits, which was flavorful and spicy. The presentation was lovely, and every bite was like a party in my mouth. My husband had the Salmon Almondine, which he enjoyed. During our second visit, we dined here on a Thursday night. We were able to get an 8:45pm reservation. The amicable hostess seated us immediately. After waiting for close to 10 minutes with no one coming to the table, the manager who was making his rounds, making sure everyone was being taken care of by the wait staff, stepped in and took our drink orders. I ordered the Purple Lady like the last visit, but this time, they had to make an adjustment to the drink due to being out of one of the ingredients that's turns the drink purple. Honestly, the adjusted drink was even better than the original. My husband had an old-fashioned, it was made well. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Crab cakes for an appetizer. The Crab cakes were ok, decent for the price. Being from Baltimore, I'm a snob when it comes to crab cakes, so I won't be too critical. Now for my entrée I had the Salmon Almondine, and my meal was delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. My greens beans were fresh cooked just right. I didn't know what an Orleans baked potato was, but I ordered it anyway. I had to remove the cream cheese and bacon, but other than that, it was a scrumptious baked potato with cheese, butter, and scallions. My husband stepped out of the box and had the Etoufee with both chicken and shrimp. He loved his entrée and said he would definitely order it again. We ordered dessert to go. Bread pudding was not on the menu, but our waiter mentioned that it was one of the desserts offered that night. I was stuffed from all the food I had eaten, but it was certainly worth eating the next day. Just like everything else , the bread pudding was so yummy. If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an occasion or want to impress a date, look no further. read more

Our second time here was not what we wanted it to be. My boyfriend got a beer and we immediately had to ask for a new pour because there was some big grey thing in it. I was drinking my water and realized the cup was covered in soap scum, so I had to ask for another cup of water. The service was sub-par, probably because they had the bar tender acting as our waiter as well. read more

We came for Happy Hour and an early dinner on Memorial Day. Walking up, we were delighted and impressed with the entry and the decor, and were pleased to see how tastefully decorated it was inside. My fiancé had the Purple Lady and I enjoyed a Sazerac, and they were both fantastic. We started out with the Okra Fries. Just gonna say, the simplicity of the recipe (cut length-wise in half and deep fried without batter, then lime juice and salt garnish) was amazing. They were served with a hot ranch dressing and this complimented the flavor perfectly. My lady had the Orleans Salad and it was light and fresh. I had the shrimp and grits. The grits were super creamy with the cream cheese and had some nice heat with the fresh minced jalapeño. The shrimp (probably 15-20 per-pound sized shrimp) were prepared perfectly with a savory chicken stock gravy. We also shared some hush puppies and were surprised to find corn inside for a unique flavor. After the success of these dishes, we knew we had to stay with our French Creole flavors and chose to have the beignets. These were made with croissant dough, which gave it a lighter and less doughy texture, and was served with both chocolate and caramel sauce. Unbelievable! All throughout the meal, our server Jessica was super sweet and patient and was excited to talk us through our menu choices. If you are in central Georgia or even within 100 miles of Perry, GA, this place is a destination. You have to check it out if you love that authentic New Orleans flavor. read more

Definitely recommend this place if craving for Cajun food in middle Georgia. We ordered several different dishes there from appetizers to the entrees and desserts. I recommend ordering the crawfish dip as far as appetizer. Fried pickles came with remoulade and hot ranch sauce, which made them quite enjoyable. Shrimp and grits and shrimp etouffee were exceptionally flavored and served with large shrimp. The Cajun pasta was disappointing since I was expecting the sauce itself to have more flavor, pretty bland compared to Cajun pasta I've had at other restaurants. Nothing too fancy with the desserts except for the chocolate brownie/cake, it had a hint of pepper which I thoroughly enjoyed. As far as service, our server was fast and friendly which made the experience pleasant. All the food was served in a timely manner. Dishes were served hot and in a large portions. read more

Visiting for a week and we needed something way better than fair food and Orleans on Carroll knocked it out of the park! Modern but comfortable, and you are quite capable of hearing conversation from table mates as opposed to some modern restaurants with so much din it becomes noise. This was a win and we may actually be back before the week is through! read more

Decor upon entering was beautiful! They had new with the old elegantly combined. Loved the metal and wood elements. The menu was simple and straight forward. Plenty of choices for those allergic to shrimp and shellfish. The cocktails were delish and strong... jambalaya was delicious and the steak was on point. Dirty rice fried balls were delicious perfectly fried plenty of flavor and their sauces were freshly made. Dessert was delicious with fresh whip cream for sure. My husband hates whip cream and ate it all. The staff was pleasant and attentive. Pleasant experience overall. We'll definitely be back. read more

My wife and renewed our wedding vows last night and took 50 guests to Orleans on Carroll for a reception. I can't say enough about what a great experience Dalton and his team gave us. The preparation, menu, decor and bar were beyond first class. And the food? Wow!. We worked with Dalton to come up with a menu that provided choices in appetizers and entrees. The menu, presentation and food..., I can't say enough good things about them. I hope someday I will have an opportunity to work with them again. I'm pretty sure several of my guests who had never been to Orleans are looking forward to future visits. read more

Always loge this spot. Enjoy bringing out of town friends to what has become a staple in Perry. Great food!

We were driving through Perry and saw good reviews and decided to check it out. I got the lunch special trio. It was good. The service was fast and the server was attentive. If we are hungry again when driving through Perry we will eat here again read more

We came in from Valdosta for the Vintage Flea Market. We looked up places to eat and saw this restaurant. We were so excited and all 7 of us found something to eat. 3 of us had their burgers, so so juicy, cooked exactly as ordered and the fries were scrumptious. I ordered red beans and rice with the andouille sausage, it was so tasty and so so good. Two others got the shrimp and chicken etouffee and my goodness so so good. One of us ordered the blackened shrimp Mac n cheese and it was so flavorful. I make homemade Mac n cheese this was just that homemade and with the blackened shrimp just made it that much better. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes and deep fried crawfish tails for appetizers. If you walk away hungry it is your own fault with the size of the servings. If you are in Perry you must go, the prices are comparable to what you are getting and the service was amazing. read more

Just ok. Service and atmosphere good. The food lacked flavor. My pasta was overcooked and mushy. My husband's shrimp were not fully peeled. The catfish nuggets were flavorless. Wouldn't go back. read more

The food was fabulous. Many opinions on the menu. The atmosphere is inviting and well designed. The service was amazing. Our waiter was very pleasant and professional. He explained each dish we inquired about with great detail. I was reluctant to try the shrimp and grits after reading the grits included jalapeño pepper; however, Jeff, our waiter explained that the jalapeño pepper could not be detected in the grits, it merely enhanced the flavor and the was no heat added to the grits from the pepper. We ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer, they were scrumptious. If the crab cakes are ever added as an entree, I will definitely order that dish. My shrimp and grits arrived and I was pleasantly surprised at the number and size of the shrimp included in my entree. The shrimp were grilled and moderately spicy, but they were delicious. The dish came with twelve large shrimp on top of a creamy bowl of cheese grits. I believe this is the best dish of shrimp and grits I have ever tasted. I ended up taking have of my meal home for lunch the next day. My husband ordered the ribeye. It was grilled to the perfect temperature. He did not require a knife to cut the ribeye, he was able to cut it with his fork. He ordered a baked potato as a side but the restaurant did not have any available at the time so he tried the mashed potatoes. He said the mashed potatoes were good, and were real, not instant potatoes. After our meal we shared a slice of the blueberry cheesecake. It was fabulous. Our waiter told us that they recently started serving a brunch buffet on Sunday from 11:00am-2pm. The brunch buffet includes prime rib, shrimp and many other house specialties as well as homemade pastries. My family will definitely return and try the brunch on Sunday in the near future. The quantity and quality of the food was superb. You can find restaurants that are more economical, but you will sacrifice a lot, the meal will not come close to the flavor of the dishes we found at Orleans on Carroll, and I assure you, when you leave Orleans on Carroll you will not have room for another bite. I hope you enjoy your meal as much as we did. read more

Amazing in all aspects. Every dish has a kick of cajun/creole spice but not overpowering. The attention to detail in the food, decor, and service is great. Don't leave without dessert... even that has an Orleans flair. Great place for lunch, dinner, or events.Cajun Chicken Pasta read more

We came on a super busy Friday evening (reservation is recommended) and were seated right away. Our waitress was excellent, a little noisy but that's to be expected on a busy Friday evening!

Ughh. We really wanted to fall in love with this place. Decor is fun and we liked the fine dinning feel. We did make reservations. Waitress was slow to greet us. Water with lemon was hard to achieve for her. Not all our appetizer came out. We sent back the shrimp and grits because it was dry. Shrimp and grits returned to the table with what looked like chicken gravy with chunks of chicken on top of everything. It did not look appetizing at all. At this point, the Jambalaya was already eaten by the time the waitress came back to the table to check on us. We sent back the shrimp and grits and asked for the check from our waitress. Waitress didn't even hand us our check. Yet the waitress could help the table right next to us at the same time we were handed our check by another wait staff. ODD behavior we thought. We have eaten here before for lunch and have enjoyed it. Valentines night was not a good night for the restaurant. read more

This is not one of those ho-hum reviews that dogs the establishment, first and foremost. Orleans is a newer kid on the block and deserves another review after the bugs are worked out, as long as it lasts that long. The atmosphere is fantastic and is reminiscent of a fine-dining establishment. Based off of the décor within, you would think the menu pricing would reflect that, which is not the case. We had made a reservation for 4 prior to the new year. We arrived 15 minutes early and were immediately seated. The host and hostess greeted each of us as we entered, so no issues whatsoever with that side of the restaurant. Our waiter was not attentive to our drinks, which ran dry several times throughout the evening, however, this was resolved when the owner or manager noticed and came over to check on us. Appetizers- We split two separate appetizers with the other couple: The 'Orleans Crawfish Dip and the Fried Green Tomatoes. The crawfish dip was very creamy and came with bread crostini's, however, there was more dip, as usual, than the crostini's could handle. The dip was mediocre at best, but still had plenty of flavor. The fried green tomatoes were FANTASTIC. They came drizzled with a remoulade-type sauce drizzled on top, as well as a corn maque choux in the middle. The corn maque choux in the middle, when placed on top of a piece of fried green tomato, melds the flavors very well; definitely my favorite item of food for the evening. Main Course- I ordered a small gumbo with my meal, along with the shrimp Etouffee. My wife ordered the salmon almondine with the brown butter sauce on the side. Our friends ordered the shrimp n grits and the fried pork sandwich with fries. The gumbo was not good...at all. My brother lived in New Orleans for approximately 10 years, so I know what good gumbo tastes like. The roux in this gumbo was not browned enough and was the color of a light camel tan color. Roux should be dark and the color of a deep mahogany. The chicken within the gumbo appeared to be shredded, and was the consistency of a Mexican-style burrito chicken at a Mexican restaurant. The flavors did not meld well and was very salty, as if Tony Chacheres was the main ingredient to construct the flavor and seasonings. The Etouffee was above average, however, on the salty and greasy side of other Etouffees that I have eaten. The gravy was the dark consistency that should have been utilized as a standard comparison color for the roux that was placed in the gumbo. Plenty of shrimp were given in the Etouffee, which was a bonus, and were cooked perfectly. My wife's Salmon Almondine was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. The flavor was almonds and fish seasoning, so nothing special about it. The seasoned garlic beans that came with it were over-salted, but were cooked well. The dirty rice that comes with it has a weird off-flavor, and is not very good. I made the comment that Bojangles has better dirty rice than this establishment. My friend ordered the Fried Pork Sandwich. He cut off a piece of the pork for me to try, which was a mistake. The pork was thoroughly cooked after being pounded and then deep fried, however, a little Cajun seasoning would have made this sandwich go a long way. The pork did not have any flavor whatsoever. The one promising thing about this was that the pounded pork cutlet was approximately 7-8" in diameter and sat well-outside the bun that is given. The fries it came with appeared to be of frozen variety and were nothing to write home about. Some duck-fat fries would have made this sandwich option much better, along with adequately seasoning the pounded pork. Our friend's shrimp n grits were good, however, there are better ones out there at different restaurants. Again, similar to the Etouffee dish, they do not skimp on the amount of shrimp that are given or the size of the shrimp. The grits were cheesy and spicy, since they add jalapeno to them. The shrimp gravy that is used appears to the be the same gravy used in the Etouffee; again, the same color standard should have been used to match the gumbo roux to the color of the shrimp gravy and Etouffee. The good: The friendly staff, the atmosphere, décor, Fried Green Tomatoes, prices of dishes, amount of shrimp given in dishes. The average: Crawfish dip, Salmon Almondine, Garlic Beans, Etouffee. The bad: Inattentive wait staff not refilling drinks, Fried Pork Sandwich (no flavor), Fries, Dirty Rice, Gumbo. For now, wait to go there until the kinks are worked out in the near future. read more
