If you are an early riser in the Big Easy, this is your place. We had already had hot beignets, so we needed some protein. I had the usual, my sons had the pancakes and my husband had the Confit'o Burrito all were very good. Our server was extremely kind and helpful. The ambiance reminded me of a small diner (but you cannot see the kitchen). I would go back here again! read more

Wow! Maybe name may not be the best but we had a really great time at Wakin bacon for our last day! We were immediately seated in the upper area, in a nice little room. Lots of artwork adorned the walls. Our waitress was awesome and came by quickly for the drink order, delivered it quickly, too. I chose the heart healthy omelet because of the description of shrimp, spinach and avocado... and was oh-so-delicious and would get it again. The others I traveled with got the Sourdough king sandwich , the Meat monster omelet and The Usual and all were also reported to be delicious! The cold coffees may have had a bit too much ice and not enough coffee but was still yummy. It's convenient and not far from Jackson Square. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers who rated it highly so it caught my eye. A five star experience! read more

The food was amazing--full of flavor and probably the best breakfast we had while visiting. The service was excellent, and I really appreciated how our waitress catered to my kids. The dining room is nice and cozy. It is a bit tight, but manageable--we were able to fit comfortably even with my 8-month-old stroller positioned between our table and the one behind us. The only downside was the lack of a ramp for wheelchairs or strollers, which could be challenging for guests with disabilities. read more

Very tasty breakfast spot! An easy walk from our Airbnb and when the hostess saw us rolling our luggage inside she immediately offered to store it behind the counter so it was out of the way. The inside is brightly colored with tons of art work on the walls and there is plenty of seating. I had the Confit'o Burrito which was flavorful and the perfect amount of food. My friends had the Sourdough King sandwich and were obsessed with the fresh sourdough toast. The lattes are delicious as well! read more

Sourdough King was PHENOMENAL!! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Slap some hot sauce on that bad boy and your taste buds will be dancing like it's Fat Tuesday. Complimented by the delicious Cajun breakfast potatoes and you've got yourself the perfect breakfast, possibly even a hangover cure (if applicable). Service was great and the servers were attentive. Really enjoyed the ambiance inside, they had cool decorations in there and also local artwork on display and for sale.

Best breakfast!! And not just in Nola, in general!! Love coming here. The voodoo brew and the usual are my favorites!! This cozy breakfast spot is perfect. Even when it's hot outside, you can stop in here to cool down, get a strong coffee and amazing food. The biscuits are fresh, hot and fall apart while you're eating them; the bacon is crispy and flavorful; and they give you plenty of fruit with the fruit side. Highly recommend! read more

This place is so cute! Very clean, nicely decorated you can buy local art which is neat. Prices are pretty reasonable! I had "the usual" and it was really good! The homemade biscuit was great and not dry, eggs were cooked perfectly. Wasn't too fond of the chai tea latte, it tasted good but was gritty from the topping. The rest of our group had the king sourdough sandwich which they said was great and the power bowl which was also good but very heavy on the beans. Our server was nice and answered all our questions and made sure there was no cross contamination with a food allergy at our table! Fresh OJ was great! read more

I had the OG Bowl one morning and the Super Bowl the next. Both were fantastic. Really cool eclectic place and nice servers.

It really was pancakes, plus eggs and sausage ( or bacon) It was very good. I just had a comfortable feeling about this place. The ambiance was relaxed and the murmur was low.

Staff were all really friendly. We got a table right away which was nice although not expected. I had the tofu hash bowl which had all my favorite ingredients but since it didn't have any sauce, I found it a bit bland. The latté was tasty. My husband had the OG which was grits with cheese and bacon confit. He enjoyed his too. We both just felt the dishes were a little small and underwhelming on flavor. I feel with an extra ingredient or two both dishes could go from good to great! read more

I have the usual I asked for my eggs over medium and they were perfect. This grilled biscuit you see on my plate is as good as it sounds! The gravy has so much flavor! Nice and thick. Obviously made from scratch and just amazing. The hubby has the king sourdough sandwich. Says it's really good. He is even eating the tomatoes! The sourdough with a garlic aioli on it is really good. The Cajun smash hash potatos are crispy and flavorful. The grits are good and creamy. The servings are very generous. We had to take quite a bit home. read more

The smoked Gouda grits were delicious - very heavy for breakfast but worth it. The matcha latte was disappointing. It was lower end matcha and not a proper proportion to the oat milk.

We've been a huge fan of Chef Cook over the years and we're really sad to see this gem closing. We decided to share a bunch of small plates and split a main dish. I got the frozen espresso martini to start which was refreshing on a hot summer day. We got the house salad, oyster BLT, pork belly & watermelon, bowl of gumbo and my mom's chicken and dumplings. The gumbo was my favorite starter and it's really hard to share a bowl because you want it all to yourself! I really enjoyed the oyster BLT with the crunchy oysters and crispy pork belly pieces. The main of chicken and dumplings is the epitome of comfort food. The service was amazing and staff is attentive. The food came out pretty quickly but we weren't rushed. Before leaving we made another reservation for this upcoming weekend before we have to say goodbye for good.

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. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!

We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. 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.

So we had to come to where the incredible, almighty "Banana's Foster" dessert was created! Here's how our time was at Brennan's. Atmosphere/Appearance: We came in the front door and the whole back of the restaurant was packed for a private party and I respect that so my wife and I took some seats at the bar that were recently vacated. We didn't get a whole tour of the restaurant, but it felt like a big mansion with several partitions, rooms and etc. Lighting was dim, a bit dark and intimate, but the atmosphere felt so calm and chill compared to Bourbon Street nearby. Lol. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but she was the bartender and she was awesome. We had no problems whatsoever and when it came time to make the infamous dessert, she popped out from behind the bar to put on quite an amazing show! Food/Drink: I started out with their Lobster Risotto and it was fantastic. Creamy, hearty and BURSTING with flavor! I absolutely loved it and loved how it was a smaller portion as an appetizer. For my entree I with with the BBQ Shrimp and a side of their grilled asparagus. Delicious through and through. Portion, presentation, flavor and everything was just top-tier. No complaints. Value: This place won't break the bank, but it's not cheap eating either. It's a good date-night spot so be prepared to spend, but if you do it right, you won't blow your budget. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here at Brennan's! No complaints! Check this place out if you're in the area and it certainly lived up to it's reputation.

The combination of perfectly smoked pork, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese was incredible, but what truly set it apart was the banana pepper aioli paired with their signature cilantro-jalapeño pesto. The flavors were bold, balanced, and unforgettable. Served on fresh, crispy bolillo bread, every bite had the perfect combination of crunch, heat, and tender smoky goodness. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are obvious from the first bite. Cochon Butcher has earned its reputation, and after trying this sandwich, I completely understand why. Whether you're a local or just visiting New Orleans, this place deserves a spot at the top of your must-visit list. I'll definitely be back--and it will be hard to order anything other than that incredible Cubano. Say hi to Anthony, Zane Ciarra, their recommendations are on point! Cheers!
