Our server, Christopher, was very attentive, suggested wine pairings, and gave us great recommendations. We started with the charbroiled oysters which is a must. They were large and charred to perfection on the outside grill, topped with parm and breadcrumbs. My friends ordered the filet and the gulf fish, and I had the charred cabbage entree, with a French gerwurztraminer blend. The mushrooms with the blue cheese sauce were so rich and delicious! Sweet treats were a no brainer. The blue cheese flan was creamy and decadent. A perfect ending to the meal. This is so far my fave restaurant in New Orleans. It's an honest, no BS creole inspired cuisine. 100% coming back soon!

And yet again, I am so thankful for Yelp steering me in the right direction yet again! A short Uber from the French Quarter brought us to what I believe is such a special hidden gem! The moment you step into Atchafalaya, you realize it. Ambience is amazing, quirky, cool, homey and cozy. Staff is amazing. We sat in our own private room and were treated to a very special delight of a dinner. I tried the incredible fried green tomatoes, the seafood soup (?) and the incredible steak...wow, everything was amazing. And not only did Chef Christopher Lynch come out to say hello to my Autistic son but the owner Tony Tocco did as well and it made his day! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Growing up in the Mid-South, iron skillet cornbread, fried chicken, greens, coleslaw, stewed okra,…read moreand black-eyed peas weren't comfort food they were lots of weekday meals. Between my momma, my granny, and me, we've always cooked those dishes exactly the way our taste buds like them. Because of that, I don't order them out very often. Sure, I'll hit Willie Mae's or grab McHardy's when I need a fried chicken fix, but it's few and far between. High Hat is an exception. It's one of my go-to spots when I'm feeling lazy and craving that Delta-style cooking. Amy and I stopped in on a Tuesday night. I had the fried chicken with red beans and rice. Top Hat is one of the very few places I'll order red beans outside my own kitchen. Amy went with the coleslaw, cornbread, stewed okra, and black-eyed peas. The star of the meal is the fried chicken. My family always used a flour wash, but Top Hat's breading is incredibly thin with just a hint of cornmeal. It isn't what I grew up eating, but man...it is good. Add a little of the table hot sauce and it gets me every single time. The sides are solid across the board. The black-eyed peas are perfect, and the stewed okra tastes like somebody's grandma was in the kitchen. If I could change one thing, I'd make the coleslaw a little crisper, chop it a bit finer, and give it another spoonful of mayo, a splash of malt vinegar, and just a pinch of sugar. But that's my preference, not a complaint. Don't overlook the catfish either. It doesn't play. They can get busy, and the service sometimes moves at the pace of an August stroll through the park. But honestly...that's part of the charm. Good Southern food isn't meant to be rushed, and neither is High Hat. If you're looking for a taste of the Delta without leaving Louisiana, this is a mighty fine place to start.

Just a heads up that the side of fries not listed on the menu is $7. I can't help but think there is better in this city and this place might be resting on its laurels a bit. The service was not bad- really friendly server but the food took a long time to come out (20 min) and the restaurant was less than half full so be ready for that if it's crowded. We sat outside on a beautiful New Orleans afternoon. On this warm, 80 degree sunny afternoon, the breeze was punctuated by piercing whiffs of vomit and feces- no fault to this restaurant tho, just New Orleans post Mardi Gras!

We were desperate to cool off. Their AC was so cool and necessary during the heat wave that we had just spent a couple hours walking through. 2. This place served best rum punch I've ever had. Oh my goodness. Turning down a second one was hard!! 3. I've never had a server who appeared as invested in our order as our guy. I developed an old lady crush on this sweet man! We told him that we are both vegetarians and one is a post bariatric surgery puzzle. He was so sweet and supportive that I would return here weekly if we were local! He made sure we had what we needed. 4. We ordered the roti, two tacos (Rasta & cauliflower) with coconut rice and plantain as the sides. The tacos were both so extra, so yummy, the roti was tasty- but the sweetness on top confused me- we loved the plantain but not the rice. We'd be back in a heartbeat. I want to try every vegetarian option here!

As a local, Joey K's is one of those places that reminds me why I love New Orleans food…read more We had the fried green tomatoes, Eggplant Napoleon pasta, and the hamburger steak with green beans and mac and cheese. Every single thing was a star. One of the things I love about NOLA is you can get a crawfish cream sauce at five different places, every one of them equally delicious, and somehow none of them taste the same. Joey K's version is exactly why. The eggplant was perfectly crispy on the outside with a tender center, and that crawfish cream sauce tied everything together. The hamburger steak was cooked perfectly and covered in house-made brown gravy that tasted like somebody's grandma still has the recipe. Comfort food done right. The fried green tomatoes might have been my favorite. The batter had an unexpected little hint of sweetness that paired beautifully with the grilled shrimp and remoulade. The French bread came out fresh and exactly what you want with good butter. Service was a hit. The place was spotless as an old school place can be. And I always love seeing the Simon folk art signs on the walls, they're part of the Joey K's experience for me. We cleaned every plate, which tells you everything you need to know. When a table full of locals leaves with nothing but empty plates, that's about the best review you can give.

The interior was spacious and airy, with plenty of colorful artwork and signs all around. There was a Chalkboard with the specials of the day. From the specials menu, I ordered the Voodoo Catfish (full fried filet) with Crawfish Mac and cheese with seasonal vegetable, which was Sweet Peas. I also got a Cup of Jambalaya (half portion). The Catfish was absolutely delicious. It was oh so light, irresistibly crispy, flaky, and well seasoned. Mac and Cheese was satisfyingly cheesy with flavorful crawfish. Sweet Peas were cooked perfectly and just the right consistency with a slight pop of sweetness. Jambalaya had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. The dish could have used more shrimp and seasoning. Service was solid. Our waitress was welcoming and knew the menu well. Everything was very reasonably priced. I was so full at the end of the meal, I didn't have room for dessert, but would like to try the Blackberry Cobbler.
