Looking for a taste of the South in the DC area, my family and I stumbled upon Voodoo Brothers, and boy, did it deliver! From the moment we walked in, the owner, Luke, gave us a warm welcome and seated us immediately. Our server, Lewis, was just as fantastic, his great personality and helpful recommendations made choosing our meal a breeze. Both Luke and Lewis made us feel right at home, but the food was the real star of the show. We'd honestly go back just to chat with those two; the incredible meal is just a huge bonus! If you want delicious food and a team that makes you feel genuinely appreciated, you have to stop by. We're definitely becoming regulars. Thanks for bringing that authentic, friendly Southern hospitality we've been missing! 5/5 stars. You have to try the Shrimp and Grits and the jambalaya. I was doubtful before and then I had a taste. You want be disappointed. read more

Amazing, I had the alligator bites with sweet potatoes fries, the crawfish etouffee and got to try the guava margaritas and brisket Mac and cheese, every flavor was so delicious. I even brought home an extra alligator bites and a chicken lettuce wrap for tomorrow. The only thing I didn't like was that I forgot to order some dessert. I am already planning on my next visit. read more

This place was a pass by after leaving Manassas. My family and I wanted to get dinner before hitting DC traffic. So we stopped here. We were the first to enter and the drinks were delicious. I had the hand grenade and it tasted like New Orleans. Could've been a little stronger. The ambiance of the restaurant is small but comfortable. The bar was inviting. Each dish was full of flavor. My Dad demolished the potatoes and greens. The crawfish was tender and my brother thought the grits were thick enough to be perfect. I would recommend this to anyone in the area! Wasn't cafe du monde beignets, more like donuts. Same with the frosted banana bread pudding dessert- not authentic but good and sweet. Very limited parking; however there is a parking lot two blocks away. Also, steer clear of first Fridays (per the waitress) it gets really crowded and they shut down the street. read more

Was curious to go to this place and see how it would be since I couldn't truly eat when I was at New Orleans last year! But this place is quite a hidden gem. I read some of the lower reviews and higher ones, so here is my opinion: The food overall was good. The soup I do agree could have been a bit warmer but the flavor was there and not overly seasoned. I tried the boudin balls and they were interesting in the sense I never had something like that before but were fresh out the fryer. Same with the beignets! We only had one server so the wait time was long but honestly he was running around all over the place and was super hospitable. The place does feel like as if you transported to New Orleans itself! It was a cute and cozy spot that was full of charm and great music. Overall if you're in a rush, this isn't going to be the place for you! But it's def great for a lazy Sunday type of deal and I will give them another chance as their soup and apps were pretty tasty! I saw a man with a fried chicken sandwich that looked amazing! read more

Quintessential New Orleans Let me start by saying my family is from the New Orleans area so needless to say I was skeptical when I saw a Cajun/Creole another restaurant in Virginia claiming to be authentic (because every other one I've tried hasn't been close). Food We ordered the Boudin balls, Alligator Bites, Shrimp Poboy, and the Banana Foster/ Bread Pudding. First of all everything was exceptional. The Boudin balls were best I've had (you should use the voodoo sauce instead of the mustard). The alligator bites were amazing. Shrimp poboy had the right bread (hard to find in VA) and was great with the voodoo sauce. We put the banana foster on top of the bred pudding instead of the bourbon sauce which was great. I wasn't expecting cherries in the bread pudding but still excellent. Service We were seated pretty quickly on Valentines evening. Apps came out pretty quickly and server was friendly. Ambiance Feels like the kind of place you could wander into in the French quarter. Nice vibe. Price Bill before tax and tip was $69 Overall 10/10 of you want authentic New Orleans food I highly recommend. read more

My review is based solely on the lack hygiene that the Server on duty displayed. He went to yhe restroom and stayed 6 minutes and come out wiping his hands with a towel he had been using to wipe down behind the bar as well as his hands. This towel was wrapped around his belt when he went in to the restroom. When he wiped his hands on a towel that was with him while he used the restroom I loss my appetite and canceled my order once I saw him in the kitchen prepping my plate. His actions is how feces get into food and causing sickness. The food looks very good although he ruined the possibility me of me returning. read more

Our family had the Empanola, the shrimp gumbo, lettuce wraps with pork belly, Cajun rubbed chicken wings, Mac n cheese with brisket, and hibiscus punch, The food and drink was absolutely exceptional-- the texture, the flavor profile, the freshness. Will come back again when we're in town. The service was great- they fresh squeezed my kiddo orange juice and were friendly and polite. read more

Such a hidden gem in Manassas, VA! The food was absolutely delicious, service was great, and the establishment was fitting for a downtown vibe. Not to mention the price of the food was very reasonable, especially in NOVA. read more

Went here for a late lunch with some Friends. It's cute inside very small and cozy. I was very excited to try this place as it had been on my list for a while. The presentation of the dishes were very nice but the drinks and dishes left me with a big disappointment. Flavorless and crunchy for the crawfish, the wings sauce was not good had a bad taste, the drink was a little off. I really wanted to like this place but was very disappointed. The staff was nice. read more

We got the cornbread, crab hushpuppies, collard greens, and Jim's jambalaya. The fold was good, I think the greens were a little sweet, but still good. Service was great, friendly staff, our server Louis/Luis was very nice and personable. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, no one else was there, and a couple people sat at the bar right before we left. Will def go back to try more food and drinks read more

Small spot in Old Town. Not a very big bar. Plenty of food and drink options. But the flavor of wings we got, I can't remember what they were just not really my thing. And I've had gator bites before, but these ones weren't really doing it for me. Everything came out in a timely manor and prepared very well, the flavors were just off in my opinion. Still worth checking out if you are in the area. read more

We went to Voodoo for the first time recently for brunch. It was pretty quiet when we visited as they just started serving their brunch menu. We started with Chicory Coffee and Beignets - which is probably better than what I had in NOLA by the way. For brunch entrees, we had Chicken and the Egg and Cajun Omelet. Both were delicious and spot on. I could not remember the service but it wasn't bad but not memorable either. The ambiance was great. It was almost like we were transported to NOLA. Brunch food is huge in New Orleans and I feel like Voodoo can do better by having NOLA brunch favorites in their menu like Pain Perdu, Jambalaya, Chicken and Waffles. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Voodoo Brothers. The gumbo was very flavorful. The shrimp and grits were different than I've had before, but I really liked this dish. The flavors worked well together. The catfish sandwich was huge!!! It was also delicious! Our waitress was friendly and attentive! We highly recommend this restaurant! read more

My husband and I went to Codo Brothers expecting a nice dinner experience, but unfortunately the customer service was very disappointing. After arriving, we waited about 15 minutes just to ask for our drinks There appeared to be only one waiter handling around 7 tables, so we tried to be patient and understanding. The waiter disappeared for another 10 minutes carrying what looked like delivery bags. When he finally came back, he only brought us two glasses of water. As I was politely about to order drinks, he suddenly yelled at me and said, "Don't you see I'm the only one attending? There are more people in front of you." There was no reason to speak to customers that way, especially when we had been calm and respectful the entire time. We decided to get up and leave, and his reaction made it seem like he simply did not care. I understand restaurants can get busy and short-staffed, but respectful customer service should still matter. read more

The food is so delicious. My husband and I shard an alligator bites appetizer, which was very tasty, but but my husband thought it was expensive at $19. He had a half portion of Jim's Jambalaya, and I had a half portion of the Shrimp and Grits. I didn't taste his, but my shrimp and grits was delightful. We also shared an order of beignets, and I had a cup of Cafe du Monde coffee. If you've never had creole cuisine, you should know it isn't highly spiced, just flavorful. Service was excellent and ambiance was evocative of a New Orleans bar. Four stars, because it is pricey, but we haven't been to Old Town Manassas in a while, so that may be the norm. read more

Love the location of the restaurant as it's in downtown Manassass. The restaurant is decorated with Louisiana decor along with sports memorabilia. The customer service was great and the food was good. We ordered boudin, creole wings, and gumbo for appetizers. The boudin had great flavor but would have been better served with a remoulade. The wings creole sauce didn't come off as creole but more of a peanut Asian sauce and took some getting used to. The gumbo was good. We ordered the chicken club sandwich with Cajun fries and catfish with collard greens. Not negative to say as they both were good portions and delicious. read more

Manassas was in need of a good cocktail spot and Voodoo Brothers has been one of the new spots to really deliver. A great restaurant and bar with creative cocktails, great service, friendly staff, and in my opinion one of the best burgers in town. You may ask why I got a burger in a spot specializing in cajun food and po boys, but I don't have a good answer for you. I was craving a burger and it far surpassed my expectations. And the sauce. Holy cow the sauce. Get anything that has the voodoo sauce. Family got the catfish, jambalaya and fried okra. All were raved about. I don't think I've ever seen my mother in law finish her plate at a restaurant and that catfish and crab rice dish was demolished. read more

Had a great experience here. Drinks were great. Also, had the beef beignets and red beans and rice. Sooo good. My new favorite spot

Great service and great food I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is also very welcoming if you want a chill spot to eat at.

Nice local spot in old town Manassas that looks like a hole in the wall from the outside. We started with the fried crawfish appetizer and those were the only item that I'd say wasn't great. They had a ton of batter on them and had a really strong flour taste to them. For my entree I tried the catfish sandwich, and it was really good, and a lot better than the crawfish. I'm definitely going to come back and try some of the other menu items when I get a chance. read more

Service was good and the staff were extremely nice, It was cute inside and bathrooms were clean. Food was average. It could use some love (wobbly tables, chairs, etc.). Has a great kids menu/coloring page but I would rather go for a date night without them. read more

Love the decorations and how welcoming it is. Immediately sat down and was served. I am not a big burger gal but their voodoo burger is a must try. Delicious paired with the crunchy fries and sauce. The beignets were hot and delicious as well. Definitely will be coming back for that burger! read more

Everything about this place was good. The service was amazing, as well as the food. We will definitely go back.

Best Cajun restaurant in Northern Virginia. We started off the beignet stuffed brisket sliders which were amazing. My wife really enjoyed the shrimp and grits and she thought the sausage was a bit spicy but delicious. I enjoyed the crawfish etouffe which was amazing. We also ordered the cornbread with honey butter which was equally delicious. Finished off our meal by sharing banana bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is a must try and a perfect place for date night. read more

Very disappointed. My wife is from New Orleans, so we were excited to try this place. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to our expectations. Popcorn crawfish bites were very dry. The gumbo had good flavor, but little seafood. The vegetables weren't chopped finely enough or cooked down well, so the gumbo was a bit chunky. The crawfish etouffee was even worse - too strong on the tomatoes and not enough roux. Service was very good, but the atmosphere is more bar than restaurant. Didn't stay for dessert. read more

I went with my friend for a late lunch/early dinner. We enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The service not so much. I was told to lose my sarcasm when I asked for plates, napkins and silverware. IMHO, the server was very snippy to me. He also got my drink order completely wrong, but I chose not to mention it after I was barked at in front of several other diners. read more

I need to start by saying I grew up along the gulf coast. Texas, Louisiana, & Mississippi. I'm VERY familiar with Cajun/creole food. We checked out this place for some nostalgia. I have to say I've NEVER in my life had a bowl of red beans & rice with a tomato flavor until today. Just super weird to me. $10 wasted. I also ordered the muffuletta. The bread was so dry and the cheese was barely melted. The muffuletta was disappointing as well. The seasoned fries that came with it were good but you can get those at Food Lion & air fry them at home. My husband ordered from the brunch menu. He got the biscuits & andouille gravy. He liked it but another unforgettable dish. I won't crave anything that would make me come back asap. I also need to second the other review to tap into the theme by offering Zydeco or Jazz music to come full circle with the theme. The waiter also seemed a bit awkward. He checked in too much. I.e. he asked if we liked the food before we even got the food. read more

We live in Manassas and had loved the previous restaurant that occupied the space and the one next door too, Okra's - a Manassas classic - so we've had our eyes on Voodoo Brothers opening (the three owners all had worked at Okra's prior) to give us a taste of what we loved so much again. I will preface this by saying we really enjoyed our evening at Voodoo Brothers tonight. It was a Saturday night and quite busy. A great thing to see for a newer, smaller restaurant in its opening weeks. Our server, Ellie, was just the best. Absolutely sweet, charming, on top of things, always checking in on us yet giving us the appropriate amount of space to enjoy our food and drinks too, just the perfect balance all the way around. Definitely ask for her when you go! The manager was also very kind and checked in on us and introduced himself, so we were very happy with the hospitality. Drinks - Awesome. We had the blueberry lemon lavender drink (my favorite), the voodoo grenade (also my favorite lol), and the hurricane. Drinks are on point. Highly recommend. Food - We loved the gator bites and popcorn crawfish. Perfect seasoning, really good. The dirty rice was also a delicious. Cornbread was good paired with the butter. Beignets were good. The only thing my husband felt could use a boost was the gumbo. He makes his own gumbo, roux, and is particular about his gumbo - and he felt this was kind of bland. The color of the roux was great (nice and brown), but overall lacked flavor and that kick you are looking for with a crave worthy gumbo. That being said, we know they are new and continuing to evolve and build their flavors, so we will give them time and try it again! Overall, we love that we have a Cajun spot again downtown and will continue to frequent this spot. Give it a try and continue to patron our local Manassas businesses! read more

Voodoo Brothers recently opened up in Manassas and is currently in their soft opening stage. We came here for an early dinner and were able to try their gumbo, fried okra, the pickle plate, and the shrimp & grits. The place is colorful and lovely, and the staff were friendly. Plenty instead parking in the area. read more

Food great...my husband ready to go back immediately. Better than other reviews led us to expect.

This was their first weekend of the official opening! Used to be Okra, another Cajun restaurant that we had enjoyed a few times until they closed. Voodoo's space is smaller with only about 10 tables and some booth and bar seating. It was vibrant and welcoming with the hostess greets you as soon as you enter. With the limited seating, we were seated at a two person table with an additional chair on one side. Our server was very friendly and I appreciated that she asked us what we thought of each dish. As the first opening weekend, it is very important to tweak and improve where needed so it's always a good idea to ask your guests. She also gave suggestions which tells me she is familiar with the menu items. For starters, we ordered the alligator bites, cornbread and chicken andouille gumbo. Alligator bites were delicious (I've eaten this before but for those who haven't, taste like chicken but slightly chewier), the cornbread was from a red corn meal which is why it's darker in color and the honey butter was a perfect compliment. The gumbo looked great but unfortunately was bland (all three of us agreed) so when asked how things tasted, I was honest and she said she would send the owner over. I didn't ask for it to be comped as that was not my intent. The owner came by, I gave my opinion and he said he would address it with the chef as they are still improving on items as needed. I really hope they fix the taste because the presentation was on point, just not the flavor quite yet. Ordered the shrimp po'boy, shrimp and grits and the fried chicken with collards. My husband said the po'boy was good and shrimp seasoned. The collards with the chicken was almost as good as mine lol! I was impressed since you don't get homemade collards cooked right all the time. The chicken thigh was good but did notice as you get near the bone, it was pinkish red like maybe it needed another minute of cooking time. The highlight was definitely the shrimp and grits! There were several different flavors enhancing this dish, from the mushrooms to the pickled okra! Very interesting and very delicious indeed. I would recommend maybe to present the shrimps on top of the dish instead of hiding underneath the various ingredients! We ended the night with beignets and my son thoroughly enjoyed them! They probably could have saved some of the powdered sugar though...it was a lot lol! We definitely will visit again in a few months once a full menu is in place. I would like to re-try the gumbo again. read more

Came in for a late lunch and loved it. I had the crawfish etouffee, which was superb, and my son loved his crawfish po boy.

Attentive service, fun atmosphere, big portions. read more

Just want to keep it short - had the Jambalaya, the quintessential Cajun dish. For 29 dollars small portion, not well seasoned, and it came out cold. My son got beef poorboi looked great but the bottom bun was saturated with liquid and every time he took a bit liquid just ran out on to the plate. I tried adding their name brand hot sauce and it had zero heat. Service was poor. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The vibe is super chill and welcoming, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The food was delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. We got fried alligator and pork belly lettuce wrap as appetizers and blackened the catfish with dirty rice + crawfish etouffee as entrees, and everything was amazing! Portions were generous, prices were fair, and everything tasted homemade in the best way. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to with friends. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more
