Absolutely loved this place! The food, the service, the atmosphere were all amazing! We sat at the bar and ordered the jambalaya fritters, Cajun Mac n cheese, wings and the Alligator sausage with fries. Everything was super delicious! I would absolutely go back again. We really enjoyed the live music as well! Definitely check this place out if you haven't been! read more

I went with my friends to the Maison for dinner and the live music. The music was fantastic, the artists were absolutely talented! I tried the Creole Mac n Cheese and it was alright. There were definitely plain pasta at the bottom of the container but still decent overall. The service was wonderful and our server was very helpful. I wasn't able to try the drinks but they looked great. read more

We really enjoyed the atmosphere and music. Their margarita is strong! The jambalaya tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. I think you can see that in the picture, hard dried sausage on the top. It did have nice heat though. Our change came back $1.50 short. My husband just let it go, that just irritated me. There is a 20% gratuity off the top. read more

I was NOT expecting the bbq shrimp and grits to be this good! The bbq sauce is a bit salty and Smokey, no sweetness really. The grits are a nice buttery texture and carry the flavor of the bbq sauce very well. Couple this with the amazing band that's playing tonight, the vibes are super nice! read more

Located on Frenchman St The Maison is a great casual spot to hang out and listen to some New Orleans Jazz. The atmosphere here is great with lots of people loving the live bands and their music. Great drinks and food were consumed and we spent a long time in here. The staff were efficient and pleasant ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our night. We had a blast. read more

We hit The Maison for our jazz night on Frenchman street and had a lot of fun. Both bands we saw were great, and it had a pretty relaxed vibe. One of the musicians pulled a couple of my friends down to dance during the beginning of their set, which was actually really fun (we're a pretty reserved group, but I think we had a good time!). The bar service was pretty quick but we were too late for the kitchen, so I can't say anything about the food. read more

This was the most unwelcoming and rude establishment I have ever had the misfortune to visit! We stopped out front because the music sounded good. We wanted to go in but were told there were no tables available - they were reserved. There were LOTS of empty tables and chairs and the band was in full swing. So we sat at the bar on uncomfortable bar stools and ordered drinks. I couldn't see the band well. We noticed some people had moved to some of the empty tables from other tables so we decided to do the same. And btw the kitchen at this point was closed. Why wouldn't they want customers who had bought drinks and were enjoying the music to sit at one of the empty tables? We were told we couldn't sit there so we left. Very bad experience! Ugh! read more

Make sure to make a reservation to ensure seats in front of the stage! Food we ordered as of 3/2022: - Last Mango in Paris - $16 - Mixed field greens, creole tomatoes, goat cheese, mango salsa and toasted pecans. If any of those ingredients sound good to you then definitely order it! We enjoyed it and the portion size is enough for 2 to share. - Cheeseburger Po Boy - $17 - Not bad but nothing spectacular. The menu here isn't expansive and so you're really here to have dinner and enjoy a show. Make sure to check out the calendar on their website to see who's playing! read more

I was very disappointed in Maison. 15 minutes before I was scheduled to start my Mixology class they canceled the entire thing. Absolutely ridiculous as I had this scheduled a month in advance. Really bad customer service. read more

Afrobeat upstairs, live jazz downstairs. We had to dump our drinks before walking in so that you can order inside. That was fine. We were carded at the door (which always tickles my grown self). We danced upstairs, then danced some more downstairs until it was time to move to the next spot. It was an enjoyable night overall. read more

Great find on Frenchman Street. We came here looking for live music and was happily surprised to find music, food, and drinks. We were seated right up front, which was great! The band was fantastic. So talented. While listening to the band, we enjoyed cocktails and food. For food, we tried the gumbo with alligator sausage and the Cajun Mac and cheese. We got a cup of each and shared. Since we ate dinner, we wanted to try a little more Cajun food. So good! read more

Great music. Good vibe. Good customer service. Unfortunately, they stop serving food at 9pm. read more

Cool spot for live music on Frenchmen Street. First band wasn't great but the second one we heard was better. No cover charge which is always a plus. Pretty extensive drink menu which even included a local brand of nonalcoholic cocktails. read more

OMG some of the music here is phenomenal! Open late, great vibes, no cover (at least when we went). But tip your musicians!!

Great place to see some local jazz that is NOT on Bourbon Street! No cover charge but I did Venmo tip the band. I got the Creole baked Mac n cheese, the wife got the chicken sandwich. Both great and sorry no pics! Had a few brews and really really enjoyed the old time jazz with a 4 piece band. Definitely recommend Maison for a night out! read more

Me, and my two new AUSSIE FRENS cruised out of The Spotted Cat Club... and ended up falling into THE MAISON just after 730 pm... We found a spot at the bar, and ordered another round of beers... I got a peek at the Menu, which was smartly sized, and had a lot of interesting items on it.... and decided to order the Jerk Seasoning Chicken Wings.. A fateful decision. These are Flats and Drumsticks that are par fried crisp in Prep I would guess.. and then 2nd Fried just after the order comes in(still naked), and then tossed in a combo of Jerk Seasoning/Tony Chacheres, and a few other seasonings... The first order came in just 5 to 6 minutes, which makes me think they were cooked almost done in Prep, and it doesn't matter what is going on, because they were some of the best wings that any of us had in our lives... The CRISP on the outside, that juxtaposed the tender, and perfectly cooked and moist chicken meat on the inside was really other worldly. 6 chicken wings for $13. 6 palate changing wings. Complete Eater Heaven. The AUSSIES were blown away as much as I was, so I ran another order immediately upon finishing off the first order of 6, because it just seemed like the Best thing to do. And it was. 5 to 6 minutes later, here they come again, and I get the biggest Drumstick just perfectly coated with those Jerk, Chachere,, and other MAISON Seasonings. Credit must be given. These wings, to a few new FRENS with a nice Buzz were the best wings ever. Da BEST EVER. If nothing else they were spectacular little works of edible art, that never stood a chance. I will be going back to The Maison I am sure again and again, but will also take the time to reverse engineer those great wings at home in between visits. We enjoyed our bartenders personality, and she kept the Cold Miller Lites coming my way. If I had it my way, there would have been a 3rd order of wings, but somehow I got distracted late in the game, and those 6 wings will have to wait for a day in the very near future. If you are on Frenchmen Street, Run, do not Walk to the Bar at THE MAISON, and get you a Cold Cold Beverage, but most of all, Get you the Best Jerk Seasoned Wings this CAT has ever gobbled down. ALL CAT PAWS UP. Decadently Flavorful C'est Fantastique Meow Meow read more

great spot for free live music - easy place to view the bands too. service is absolutely terrible, and you'll pay at least $10 for a drink. none of the less, still a great spot to come into and check out a jam and have a drink. read more

On a night looking for music on Frenchmen, we spent the most time here. Lots of room, great intimate sound, and the brass band playing was amazing! Stephen Walker was the musician. Also the bartenders were great read more

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Rudest service I've ever had. Booked the venue for an organization and the bouncers took our REAL IDS. We paid a lot of money to be here and instead were yelled at and berated and GOT OUR REAL GOVERNMENT ISSUED IDS TAKEN. Ruined our nights. read more

I was really hopeful for a good experience here due the to prime location and solid reputation, but I was sadly disappointed. I was part of a large group that rented out the second and third floor, and it was common consensus that we will never be returning. The only music that was being played was from Pandora and they would not let us change the music and play the playlist that was created for this event. Also it was not working at times, so we were stuck in silence for many moments. The bouncers were also extremely unpleasant and yelling at us for having 5 people sitting on a 4 person couch or sitting on the arm of the couch. There are very few working bathroom stalls which makes this a poor venue for a lot of people, and one girl was kicked out for trying to go to the bathroom on the first floor of the venue. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

We had a blast at The Maison. We visited during the day and the jazz band was awesome! We had a few drinks (I felt bold so I ordered a bloody mary only to remember why I hate them lol) and shared a few appetizers. We ended up spending the rest of our time in NOLA here before our flight home. It was a relaxing end to our trip! read more

The Maison is usually a great spot to drop into on Frenchman street. I've never made it for food, and my visits have only been for nighttime fun, listening to great music, or grabbing a few drinks. Staff has always been friendly, and the bartenders make some great drinks. Recently, we heading to The Maison after a wedding, and we stumbled on a great band allowing lots of the group to dance while also still having some seating available in the back for those of us who hit the wedding dance floor a bit too vigorously. I would say you'll almost always have a great late night time at The Maison. Hopefully I'll remember to try the good out sometime. read more

Love this club. Great vibe. Lots of seating- which you can't always find. Drinks are fab. Try the southern peach. Light, refreshing and not too sweet. Saw Amber and the Sweet potatoes. What a great swing band. Had so much fun we came here two days in a row. Once in the afternoon and once at night. Had a great time both times we were here. If you're looking to hear some authentic local New Orleans live music, Maison is a must. read more

Listen to me: If you are in New Orleans, you must come here for dinner and order the Creole baked mac and cheese and a side of gator sausage. Then, when the food comes out, you will mix the gator sausage INTO the mac and cheese, and it will be one of the best things you've ever put into your mouth. Aside from the food, the live music and atmosphere here are great. It's a fun little place on Frenchmen Street. read more

Great jazz, good service, good drinks, and great Mac-n-cheese. I mean it...great Mac-n-cheese. We also ordered wings and enjoyed them. A bit pricey. 19 dollars for fried shrimp basket and 9 dollars for a cup of Mac-n-cheese. No regrets, but not an everyday thing to eat and drink here. read more

This review is for the mixology class that they offer... Purchased a Groupon for the mixology class for 2 in order to do something a bit different in town. The class size was great; with only 8 of us it made it really intimate and easy to engage with the teacher/bar tender. We had Chris, and he as super engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. Even though I didn't personally like all of the cocktails we made, I'd still highly recommend the experience. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is because the class is taught upstairs while the band is playing downstairs and it was a little loud/hard to hear at times. Our teacher tried to compensate by speaking louder which helped. read more

This was one of my favorite spots in New Orleans-- the live shows were fantastic, and there's lots of seating available (though it gets crowded quickly). They offer dinner reservations, which I would recommend making-- for $40/person you get a drink+entrée as well as prime front-row seating. Unfortunately, I found out about this after dinner, so we were seated towards the back with a partial view of the stage. We ordered a cochon de lait po'boy ($14) and shrimp and grits ($22). The po'boy was pretty decent, as the tangy slaw did a lot to cut through pulled pork that was heavily doused in BBQ sauce. I also really enjoyed the grits-- deliciously creamy and perfectly tempered by the malty Abita Amber shrimp sauce. All in all, an extremely enjoyable dinner with fantastic performances! read more

Great food and experience while at the restaurant. We actually picked up a CD from the band that was playing. Jenavieve and the Winding Boys were great. Our server was on top of things and we had a good experience. We did have an issue with rescheduling, but that has been resolved. read more

Worst place I've been to in NOLA. The bartenders are cool but everyone else who works here is such a jerk. They refuse to let anyone sit down. I got out of my barstool for one second to scoot over and the waitress rips it out of my hand. And then in front of the stage there's this huge table that at least 5 people are sitting on / leaning against (with no sign on it that's bolted into the floor) and the security guard comes over and yells at everyone that he's going to kick them out if they sit there. So then I go to the back table to sit down and 20 mins later the waitress comes over and says no one can sit there because they're selling merch THE NEXT DAY Don't come here if you want any hospitality. And the drinks are tiny for $15 and taste bad. Would not recommend. Last place I would ever go to if I wanted to have fun read more

Great place to listen to live music. No cover charge. We got a seat at 7:30 on a Friday night. Many people had reservations. There is a car you can sit at, but with limited view of band. We saw swing orchestra which was an 8 piece band playing music from 1920-1950. Food is served. We had great service. One drink minimum per person per set. Prices are reasonable. read more
