    Been meaning to stop by and finally got the chance. I had the chicken sandwich, burger, and fries, a pretty fair meal overall, middle of the pack for me. I also grabbed a cookie. The staff was friendly, and I even got a chance to chat with the cook, very hospitable vibe all around. Solid spot worth checking out.

    THE GRIT BOWL with bacon
    Foua Y.

    Local here. I've been here numerous of times. service is always hit or miss. The workers present today around lunch time did not want to be there. I entered with no recognition or greeting. Stood at the pickup area to pick up my online order like an unwelcome house guest. The woman packaging the orders just tossed my bag onto the pick up counter with the name showing because she clearly wasn't going to service anyone. The entire interaction or lack of was in complete silence. That was my final straw. The food is not that good to tolerate the service. Attached is a photo of my grit bowl with bacon, sub scrambled eggs. I understand there's gonna be oil but I was not expecting an entire layer on top. I went through a handful of napkins to keep myself clean from each greasy bite. I used to get the wrap until they changed the price. The lattes are watered down and flavorless, definite pass. The wings do have good flavor, the price is just outrageous for the quantity. Just like the service the food isn't consistent. Cold ambiance inside, usually empty because most locals know it's not worth the money. I usually bring my friends here since I live so close by but not anymore. TLDR; bad/rude service, inconsistent food and overpriced for the lack of quality

    Fries

    Had a chance to visit this place. I think the place was good if you like sandwiches that are on the greasy side. They were flavorful, and the sandwiches were a decent size. Place was clean and location was close to a lot of the hotels downtown. Not sure i would visit this all the time but it hit the spot.

    Great fried chicken sandwich and delicious sauce! The fried chicken was perfectly sized for the sandwich. Not too big and each bite had everything you wanted on it. The fries were also delicious and I tried my friends cheese sauce for the loaded fries and it tastes like yummy queso from Johnny Sanchez! Definitely will go back! Quick and easy to order.

    Great location next to the Superdome, anytime a home game is on, this place will be super super super busy, yes I know because I ordered a breakfast sandwich with hash browns, I waited over 1 hr from order to finish. What's sad is I was with a group of 10, everyone got and ate their order but mine was pushed to the side. Seems Uber eats and DoorDash are high priority than walk in clients, maybe if a home game is on, suspend those orders and solely focus on walk in clients, the experience will be better, the staff can handle the flow, I just saw too much orders and not enough staff. To wait 1 hr to have a brioche bun with a sunny side up egg, very very nice crispy bacon, it just wasn't worth it. I will say the hash browns are the best I've ever had from a quick in n out restaurant, it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Bits and pieces of seasoning mixed into the hash brown, I didn't take a picture because before I realized it, I ate them all since I was soo hungry.

    I ordered the 3-pc tender meal with waffle fries. My meal actually came with four tenders. Perhaps because they were on the smaller side, but I'm only speculating. You have your choice of various dipping sauces, including bbq, honey mustard, ranch, and house. House is a play on Chick-fil-a sauce, and it was pretty good. The cost was $9, about what I'd pay at Chick-fil-a. The chicken was seasoned and had a good flavor. The fries were reminiscent of Rally's with the seasoned coating, but in waffle form. They were ok. I think they were overcooked because they were on the harder side. The food came out quickly, so that was pleasing. Service was also fine. The restaurant feels airy with all the natural light beaming in and high ceilings. I'll be back to try some breakfast.

    Had chicken sandwich and it was very good. Service was self serve but people were friendly. Price is little high for the location but at least food was very good.

    Sooo it's giving overpriced Chic Fil A but it was good food. I went in to order pickup and they did get my order wrong. The fries were pretty good but they were fried harder than most places which was okay for me because they were thick waffle fries. Chicken sandwich was also fried a little hard but it was ok as well. I wish I had a little sauce on the side for dipping. The lemonade was really good but was pricey for the size. The place is small but was clean.

    Banty Rooster, Cheese Grits, Waffle Fries, Latte
    Brooks W.

    Showbird My wife and I went here for a breakfast / brunch this weekend. We really enjoyed it. We both got the Banty Rooster which was a chicken biscuit with bacon jam and "birdy" sauce. We both enjoyed it, but thought the bacon jam was a bit overpowering. But every bite with the birdy sauce was awesome - that sauce made the sandwich in my opinion. Parking... this is near my job, so we didn't have to pay for parking. But if you didn't have a place to park then you'd have to pay for parking. Reservations.... N/A - just walk in. Would be perfect if you wanted something casual before an event at the superdome / smoothie king center.

For entrées we had Banana Foster Pain Perdu, Side of Duck Bacon, Hashbrown, 100% Seafood Gumbo and Fried Catfish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and hot!!! Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

Both were outstanding. The Bananas Foster French Toast was rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. The bananas and sauce were the perfect complement to the French toast, making it feel like a New Orleans dessert and breakfast all in one. The Boudin Breakfast Biscuit was equally impressive. The biscuit was fresh and flaky, and the boudin added a delicious Cajun flavor that set it apart from a typical breakfast sausage. Every bite was savory, satisfying, and uniquely Louisiana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it's easy to see why Surrey's has such a loyal following. If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for a memorable breakfast, put this place on your list. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

This place is a true gem. I can't wait to come back and try more. Such a great experience.

It has retro vibes, and I loved how the outside looked. The inside was just as cute, with 80s toys lining the walls. There was ample seating. The staff was very friendly and helped me pick out what I would like to order. I went with the spicy chicken biscuit and a side of hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were very crispy and seasoned well, so I loved them, as soggy hashbrowns are a major pet peeve of mine. The chicken biscuit was good, but I'm not 100% sure it was to my taste. It was massive and very hard to eat, and there was a lot of fried chicken skin. The mayo on the sandwich was definitely homemade and had a very strong egg flavor, so I would go without that next time. The biscuit was probably the best biscuit I've ever had. As a California girl, I think the flavors might have just been a little too strong for me, but still a great spot to stop by.

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.

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.
