Robert was the kindest server and the hostess is such a beautiful soul! We love this spot and We shall always return! read more

During a pleasantly quiet week in the French Quarter, sitting in the dining room here with the windows and doors wide open was relaxing. Looking outside was slow tv at its best. Black coffee and a seafood omelette were welcome on a Christmas morning when most restaurants were closed. This was a filling breakfast. The staff was helpful and attentive without disturbing me on an idyllic start to the day. read more

There was no wait time, we were seated right away. Our server Tony B, was very knowledgeable about the menu, he even suggested some food items. The atmosphere was welcoming. We decided on ordering the Omelette Rue Royale with cheese grits and Chicken & Andouille. The food was served heat hot, you could see the steam on the plates. Oh my goodness the food was extremely delicious till I forgot to take pictures. Packed with lots of flavor and prepared with much love. When we're back in town we will definitely be making our way back. If you haven't tried their food. I suggest you stop in and try it for yourself. read more

Rue Royale Antoine - Menu - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Our family of four dined here for brunch on a Wednesday, and it was outstanding. Eggs Benedict Belgian Waffle Louisiana Lost Bread All were perfect, and the bottomless mimosas were a nice touch. I'm usually wary of places with the barkers out front, but I'm so glad we went. read more

This is a new one that I finally made myself try in the French Quarter that took the place of the 1st restaurant that I ever ate in the FQ, which was one of my favorite places to eat, Pere Antoine's. The ambiance was nice with the windows open to the street and my server did a great job, but I was hoping for a more NEW ORLEANSY (I don't know if that's a word or not) soundtrack and not music I would hear on the top 40. I decided on the French Onion soup for starters. It was fine but the broth was not as dark and rich as I like but the flavor was ok. For my main course, I went with the - CRESCENT CITY SAMPLER: "sampling of the city's most famous dishes" - cajun jambalaya, crawfish etouffée, red beans and rice, and chicken & andouille gumbo, that way I could try a little of everything. I left very full but not as satisfied as I had hoped I would. And maybe, just maybe it is because of the sentimental value and the change...but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. read more

We decided to stop in here for breakfast based on a recommendation from a friend (bottomless mimosas for Brunch!) and we were all so glad we did. It has a nice "old world" New Orleans feel with excellent service. (This restaurant should not be confused with Antione's Restaurant on St. Louis Street as this place is on Royal Street.) Speaking of service, we had Shaune as our server and she was amazing! She was very diligent in providing the mimosas and waters as well as explaining various dishes based on our questions. She even went to see the chef to get an answer to my question as to the makeup of the sauce on my Andouille & Eggs breakfast. (It's a combination of the juices from the Andouille sausage with the cheddar cheese mixture! Fantastic!) The food was very good based on comments from everyone at the table. As mentioned above, the Andouille & Eggs is highly recommended. It comes with two baked eggs (I never had baked eggs before; they were like egg pancakes), combined with sausage, tomato and cheddar cheese. I choose my entree with hash browns, but you can also choose grits or fruit. One friend had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo Pasta, and she was impressed with how light the alfredo sauce was. Another friend selected the Shrimp Po-Boy and did it come with PLENTY of fried shrimp! We were all happy and satisfied with our selections! One more comment on the "Bottomless Mimosas Brunch". You can obtain it with any entree purchase of $20. You can also choose Bottomless Bloody Marys for the same deal. I asked for a third mimosa after we finished our meals, and Shaune told us you even get a bottomless mimosa to go to enjoy on the streets of New Orleans! I could not have been happier! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Let me start by start by saying what I had to eat was awesome. It was called Crab Cake Royal. It was three crab cakes on top of spinach and mushrooms. I loved. For dessert my wife and I shared an Oreo Pie. It was yummy. Top notch. I can honestly say this was best meal experience in my four days in New Orleans. As for the first 15-20 minutes at this restaurant, the best way I could say it was lacking. We get there and they put us in the corner. There was some water on the table and the hostess says "Let me get someone to clean that up" She leaves...and doesn't come. Our waitress comes back and my wife asks could she clean the water off the table. She leaves and doesn't come back for, I'd say, 10 minutes. Another waitress comes and takes our drink order. Then later, the first waitress shows up, cleans the table and proceeds to ask what we wanted to drink. My wife told her, another waitress took the order. I think that confused her for a bit. We also didn't have a setup. I walked over and grab a couple from another table. I wouldn't say the waitress was unprofessional, because she was rather nice and earnest. But it's rare to see a wait staff ( along with the hostess) so unprepared. Thank God for Crab Cake Royale, or this review would have come out differently. read more

Thank you Sandra for an outstanding experience at Rue Royale Antoine! Sandra was very attentive to our needs, she gave us great recommendations and we couldn't be happier. We got a series of drinks and appetizers that were fresh, made to order, and unique to NOLA. While the restaurant was loud and crowded, this is a part of the Bourbon Street experience and we loved the beautiful architecture and decor. Thank you, we will be back! read more

The spinach dip was the worst I've ever tasted. It even looked gross, the fried bow tie pasta was super weird for dipping. The waitress agreed it's not good after paying, maybe mention what's good next time for a better experience to your tables... the ice water with lemon was great. read more

My wife ordered the blackened chicken jambalaya and she received a bowl of brown. Everything tasted like they started cooking it this morning or yesterday. It was so over done and the sausage was just dark brown cubes. I ordered the blackened redfish and it was fine. The crab cake appetizer tasted like frozen crab cakes warmed on a flat top. Not good. read more

You know how sometimes you walk into a place and you just know within about thirty seconds that you're somewhere special? That's Rue Royale Antoine in New Orleans for you. Let me tell you about Nia first, because in this cowboy code I carry around, you always talk about the people before you talk about anything else. Our server Nia had this energy that just lit up the whole experience - vibrant doesn't even quite capture it. She's got that rare gift where her friendliness feels completely genuine, not performed, like she's actually invested in making sure your evening matters. The kind of gracious hospitality that reminds you why New Orleans has always understood something about taking care of people that the rest of the world keeps trying to figure out. She made recommendations like she was sharing family secrets, checked in with perfect timing, never hovering but always there right when you needed her. That's the art of service right there. Now the food. The étouffée was the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-conversation because you need to just be present with what's happening in your mouth. Rich, perfectly seasoned, that depth of flavor that only comes when someone really knows what they're doing and cares enough to do it right. And the blackened redfish - look, I've had blackened fish all over, but this was something else entirely. Perfectly executed char on the outside, flaky and tender inside, seasoning that had layers to it. The kind of dish where you find yourself slowing down because you don't want it to end. This is the kind of place that reminds you why we travel, why we seek out experiences, why breaking bread matters. Good food, sure, but more than that - people like Nia who understand that hospitality is about making someone feel seen and valued, even if it's just for an evening. If you find yourself in New Orleans, make the trip. Tell Nia that Spinny sent you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Rue Royale Antoine - Sampler - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

There weren't many Yelp reviews for this place but the menu looked awesome and it was right next to our hotel so my wife said, "let's go for it!" I was glad we did. Service was outstanding right from the start, super friendly and helpful. Great ambiance and clean restrooms. Everything was going great until the food arrived and it went from great to insane. My wife devoured her omelette and my gumbo was as good as I've ever had. My shrimp po boy was enormous and delicious - the amount of seafood in that sandwich was impressive and it was delicious. They even got me a "beer to go" - I love New Orleans!!!! This restaurant was a real unknown for us but it turned out to be fantastic. Would return in a heartbeat. read more

Wonderful service!! Our server, Jacob, was so friendly, personable, and quick! He caught an order gone wrong before it left the kitchen and kept our bottomless mimosas moving! The space itself is cute and open-air, which is great for a sunny day. Food itself hit just the spot and made for a nice breakfast in a great location. read more

Rue Royale Antoine - Andouille sausage and eggs - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The food is good here! That I can say confidently. Unfortunately what ruined the experience was the service. I came in with a party of 4 at around 11:30 am; we were seated immediately, and most of the restaurant was empty from what we could see. Our side only had one other table when we came in. Our waitress didn't visit our table until about 10 minutes after us being seated. Our drinks took another 10-15 minutes to come out. Most of the drinks were sodas and waters Our food took 45 minutes to come out after ordering. Tables that were sat after us got their food before us. We also ordered one appetizer, and that came out after all of us had finished our main meals. Very disappointing. I have a ton of patience and gratitude for the food service industry and understand things happen, but the restaurant was not busy enough for how much we had to wait I have a feeling our order may have been forgotten about? read more

We went for breakfast, as it was close to our hotel,and we were glad we did! The omelets and potatoes were good, as was the biscuit.

She was attentive and friendly, and took great care of us. We will definitely be coming back. read more

My family and I spent just a little over 2 weeks in New Orleans recently and while we ate a lot of really amazing food, I want to take the time to really shout out two very special people from this restaurant. Zach, our server, was patient was us "out-of-towners." He was friendly and offered up ideas on things that he not only enjoyed but things he also thought we might like based on a few inquisitive questions on his part. It made a difference, having a friendly server. One who checked in on us and was attentive to our needs. Rommel, the manager, dude, what a kind and compassionate Rockstar! Like truly. Upon hearing that my Mama, who decided to try something completely new, didn't really like her dish, he came over, not only apologizing, and taking it off our bill, but also offered to bring out complimentary dessert. My Mama, who is always down to try anything once, was initially very adamant about how she took the chance on something new and that all of "that" wasn't necessary. But Rommel insisted that we couldn't leave his restaurant without the best flavors in our mouths. So very kind. So very generous. So very sweet. (I know its been like a month since we were there, by the time I got home to California, it has been a whirlwind of well, life. But I told you two that I would shout you out, so here is me, making good on my word.) I hope you two are thriving and I hope you two are just having the times of your lives making tourists and more smile. read more

Loved this place! Super friendly staff! ANDREW was EVERYTHING. GIVE HIM A RAISE, he went above and beyond every time (as we went there to eat and drink a few times) Tajmah was super sweet, made us feel welcomed, her service was excellent. Chicken and waffles are to die for! 10/10 read more

The service was excellent. The food was mediocre. None of my family of 6 left there thinking their meal was very good. The prices would lead you to believe you are about to receive a healthy portion of food, but you won't be. They skimped on the meat. Very overpriced for the small portions. We spent over $200 and had to go find more food. read more

Terrible experience. Waited an hour for food that never arrived. Nasty attitude and bad slow, service. Go anywhere else.

We passed this place three times during our stay and said " we have to try it" I could eat the blackened chicken pasta everyday. Wow. Kennedy is an awesome bartender. read more
