Eddie, our server was friendly, with just the right amount of humor and very attentive. He described dishes and offered a hot sauce that was HOT! The Shrimp Bourbon Street was tasty, lots 'o shrimp, yummy dipping sauce, a perfect combo with Seafood Gumbo, to finish off my meal. The Seafood Bisque-appetizer and the Shrimp and Grits meal seemed to satisfy my husband. Our friends ordered Crawfish Etouffee and the Cajun Jambalaya, which were a hit. We commented that there might be some take-home, but it was not to be, the food was consumed on the premises. Our finishing touch of Beignets covered in the powdered sugar and coulis sauce was the perfect finale to our very enjoyable meal. We ate in the dining room, which was busy, but not noisy, and as mentioned , the service was excellent (Eddie) , and patio seating is available. Parking is convenient, so there is every reason to visit Bud's as soon as possible. See ya soon!

Few weeks ago spent a few days in the French Quarter of New Orleans and the food was sooooo good...seeing this place while on a business trip in San Diego I had to try this place and see if it was the real deal or just a pretender. This Cajun restaurant is the real deal. I can't believe it...I highly recommend this place. A must stop here in San Diego. The owner, Bud is from the French Quarter and he makes all the meals and desserts right here. The best. I started with the Seafood Gumbo then Shrimp and Grits...very hearty and excellent in the flavors. Finished with the Bread Pudding. OMG. This is a "5 star must do." Get here and try everything. Bring your family because I can't try everything...but I wanted to.

Got garlic noodles but to my disappointment noodle was changed to udon. I haven't been back to this establishment in awhile so it surprised me when it was no longer linguine. I was specifically craving the garlic noodles but it didn't really satisfy me. I took 3 bites and opted to take it out for left over. Flavor is great but I just prefer linguine or thinner noodles for garlic noodles. I don't think I would order it again. I prefer getting my garlic noodles at Submarine crab instead unless they ever go back to linguine. I am not used to using garlic noodles. 18% service charge is included in the bill already! :)

Stopped by Po Boy Shop and ordered the fried shrimp plate with mac & cheese and red beans & rice…read more Overall, it was a really good meal. The fried shrimp had great flavor and seasoning on the breading. I personally would've liked them fried just a little harder for a bit more crisp, but they were still very tasty and fresh. The mac & cheese was creamy, rich, and definitely one of the highlights of the plate. The red beans & rice had a good hearty flavor, though it was a little on the salty side for my taste. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler. The flavor was really good and comforting, but I would've liked a little more juice in it. It would also be great if they offered an option to heat the cobbler, which would take it to another level. Interior is cute , screams New Orleans. They had one person working counter she was busy in the phone trouble shooting some software so I just ordered on the tablet. Overall, generous portions and good Southern comfort food. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu.

Service 5/5 -Attentive and efficient staff, it was busy but we were seated and our food came out quickly. Food 5/5 -Combo A with two orders of white rice, I LOVED how fat and juicy their clams were, wow these were the meatiest clams I've had from a seafood boil place and they were super clean, no sand at all. Shrimp was really fresh because the meat was firm and not soggy at all, mussels and crawfish were also very solid. The quality of rice, sausage, potato, corn were all outstanding. I do wish there were more sauce to dip the seafood in. Ambiance 5/5 -Lighting was fun and very aquatic, this would be a fun place to come for family dinner or a celebration meal. Clean bathrooms and there's also a sink in the hallway for convenient hand washing.

Although it was fried the food wasn't very greasy, it was a very dry, well executed fry. We all talked about our favorites.. the cat fish and the dookey chase were probably the top votes. The service was good and accommodating. A little slower but we had a big group and a lot of food. There was live music and the artists killed it!! Fun spot for a group of girls night!!

Though initial visit was for HH I decided to stay since my son had been craving alligator. We ordered... Alligator bites with fries $26 (I thought that was high, but I never got gator before and don't know how to compare it) Bowl of Gumbo (chicken and sausage) $16 I thought it was flavorful, I would have like the roux to be a bit more thicker. Beignets $13 These were perfect Cheddar biscuits $10 There was 5 large biscuits. Flavorful but I would have like them to be a bit more softer Gouda Mac (side) $10 My kids enjoyed. (I can't eat, so I can't confirm) I also had a Paloma and I thought it was good. I rate a 3.8/5. There are a couple things on the menu that I would like to try, like the lemon pepper catfish, so I may visit again
