    Chicken fried steak
    Leigh A.

    This was my first eating at this hidden gem. The food was very favorably, hot, fresh, reasonable priced and served with a smile. I don't know how I never been here before, but I do know I shall return.

    This is the cheese sauce/corn crab bisque. Same exact product.

    Went to Wegeaux Cafe on Westbank expressway.... Oh let me tell you!!! This is a pic of the sauce that the corn and grab soup is made of. My girl said it wasn't her taste, the short waitress told her to take it home because she still had to pay. When she said no thanks she took it back boxed it up and still charged her. Of course she's the manager. Manage me spending my money elsewhere! As much as we eat. And as many people we know... This is horrible customer service. It's not what you say but how you say it. Don't spend your money in a place where bad food is compounded with rude behavior and bad service from Billie the Floor manager... whose boyfriend is the cousin to the real waitress Mona that served us so well last time we enjoyed this place.

    2 egg breakfast with grits, toast, and bacon.

    This is a quaint little place that offers breakfast all day...winning! I stopped by yesterday for a quick one. It was full of what looked like regular customers...everyone seemed to know each other. Service was friendly and fast. The breakfast was tasty and super reasonable. They also serve lunch. My only negative was the tea party sized coffee. Lol. I had to get a couple of refills before i felt completely saitisfied. Other than that it was a pretty good experience.

    Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy.  (Onions and mushrooms are optional). So delicious!

    Crab balls are truly amaze balls. There is a mama in the kitchen cooking comfort food like a boss. Every day offers a daily special and the chicken fried steak was the real deal served with homemade gravy and real mashed potatoes. My friend had the pork chops which can be ordered a multitude of ways. Portions are HUGE. Bring a big appetite or go home with a meal or two left over. Me? I'm taking home the pecan pie. Don't miss this precious diner because it's what a diner should be.

    A wonderful lunch in this little hole in the wall.

Back to the best part...the food! Nothing is left without seasoning. The chicken and waffles didn't even need butter. The French toast is fantastic as always(they were out of praline sauce, but the blueberry reduction was really good as well). Last up is the shrimp and grits omelette, this thing is huge and packed with flavor. The omelette is topped with shrimp and sauce, and then stuffed with shrimp and grits! Chef Myron is going to need a bigger diner room when word gets out about them. Thanks for never disappointing, Lebrane's!

    Today I gave another eatery a try to give my taste buds a change in my dietary intake. I did…read morereviewed LaBrane's menu prior to arrival and elected to have the Lasagna Baked, Fried Half Platter substituted the Fries for Mac & Cheese for an additional $3.00. The same Mac & Cheese was listed for $4.00. It was never explained of a cost difference after being told I can substitute because so I was going to get the Mac & Cheese regardless to try it out. I also ordered the Baked Bread Pudding. Placing the order took a little time and the Kiosk seemed to be a little cumbersome. Paying attention to my receipt, I see a To Go Fee of. $0.75 which isn't much but it was just an observation. Service is not quick! Order was placed at 11:57 and I received my close to an hour later. So I took a seat and patiently waited for my name to be call. Started paying attention to other patrons who were dining in and waiting for their food. Each table had people sitting down and having casual conversation. I counted about 21 people including myself. The atmosphere was pleasant but it was not giving. They had music playing from station 107.5. I'm a stickler for sanitation and it's the little things that matter....dipping cups in an ice machine vice using a ice scooper, wearing gloves particularly when servicing food to those dining in and not using a tray bring out food. Simply doing too much to not be consistently washing hands. Same person taking away soiled trays is bringing out food. One customer had to ask for utensils for his Togo orders as he didn't have any. A second customer just got her Togo order and had to ask for utensils as well. Just saying with a To Go Fee, you think that someone will check or maybe they are just overwhelmed with the services they are trying to provide. 30 minutes later, I'm still patiently waiting and listening to Drake with my AirPods in. So this is heavily leaning towards a One Shot One Kill for me. This business had 6 potential customers who came in and walked out. I witnessed four potential customers who were never greeted or given an explanation as to how the operation goes. It's safe to say they more than likely will not be coming back. They were on the lure but the lack of acknowledgment allowed them to get away. Update: Got my food in To Go containers at approximately 56 minutes after paying for my order. I did check my bag before leaving and no utensils could be found. Once I got back to my office, I saw that they did place a fork in each tray which was essentially covered with food as it was not separated. I would prefer to have a utensil pack or a knife and fork wrapped in a napkin. Guess only reason is that my food all being cooked fresh as it's ordered Joking How was the food? Fish and Shrimp: Tasty with a nice consistency for then breading. Lasagna: Simply did not have the layers for me as meat sauce, noodles, cheese filling (did not exist. The top layer of the lasagna had some hard spots and the ends of the noodle were crunchy. The sauce beneath it was on the sweat side and did not match the same flavor of the lasagna itself. Mac & Cheese: Peppery flavor with cheese tasting more on the Velvetta side. I never pictured Mac & Cheese with shells. Surely was not expecting it to be like this. Bread Pudding: Best Part of the Meal. The flavor, consistency and sweetness were all on point! . They did have sauce on the Menu for a $1 but prior to my order, I thought a sauce was automatic like many other locations serve. I did not let my emotions overtake my Honest review!

    My sisters and I visited Brown Butter Depot on Saturday, and I can't say enough great things about…read morethis restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the food, service, and ambiance were absolutely outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our meal. The portions are generous one of my sisters ordered a salad that was so large she had plenty left to take home for her husband. My other sister ordered the breakfast croissant, and I had the smash burger, which practically melted in my mouth. Of course, we had to save room for dessert! We shared the vanilla bean crème brûlée and the beignet fries, and both were absolutely delicious. If you enjoy a good cocktail, you'll love their drink menu too the cocktails are amazing, and the prices are just as impressive. What really set this restaurant apart, though, was the customer service. I had a small issue with my debit card, and the owner personally called me afterward to make sure everything had been taken care of. That level of care and attention is rare and speaks volumes about how much they value their customers. Brown Butter Depot has definitely earned a spot on my list of repeat visits. If you're visiting New Orleans, don't miss this hidden gem in Gretna. I gave them five stars, but honestly, they deserve ten!

Our server, Christopher, was very attentive, suggested wine pairings, and gave us great recommendations. We started with the charbroiled oysters which is a must. They were large and charred to perfection on the outside grill, topped with parm and breadcrumbs. My friends ordered the filet and the gulf fish, and I had the charred cabbage entree, with a French gerwurztraminer blend. The mushrooms with the blue cheese sauce were so rich and delicious! Sweet treats were a no brainer. The blue cheese flan was creamy and decadent. A perfect ending to the meal. This is so far my fave restaurant in New Orleans. It's an honest, no BS creole inspired cuisine. 100% coming back soon!

And yet again, I am so thankful for Yelp steering me in the right direction yet again! A short Uber from the French Quarter brought us to what I believe is such a special hidden gem! The moment you step into Atchafalaya, you realize it. Ambience is amazing, quirky, cool, homey and cozy. Staff is amazing. We sat in our own private room and were treated to a very special delight of a dinner. I tried the incredible fried green tomatoes, the seafood soup (?) and the incredible steak...wow, everything was amazing. And not only did Chef Christopher Lynch come out to say hello to my Autistic son but the owner Tony Tocco did as well and it made his day! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

The food here is great every single time. Even though it's served from hot tables, everything is super fresh because they are busting out plates left and right. The line moves really quickly and everyone working there is very nice. I've tried something different every visit. From the variations of the Baby Back to the Biscuit Boat and the Back in Town Burrito, it's all been delicious. Also, the potatoes are so good! I usually take pictures of my food, but for some reason, I can never get a shot here because I eat it way too quick. This is definitely a top-tier spot in Gretna!

    The food is good! We ordered through uber eats this time and it was a very easy process to pick up,…read morestaff was friendly and prompt. So far we have tried the Berry Sausage Frenchie, the Biscuit Boat w/ Catfish, Biscuit Boat w/ Chicken Tenders, French Toast meal w/ eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 chicken tenders. Berry Sausage Frenchie - 6/10 I wasn't as impressed with the Berry Sausage Frenchie as I was hoping for. It was still good, but the flavors just kind of blended together to one, so wasn't bad just wasn't great. Filling though, it is huge. Can only eat half for a breakfast (if that). Biscuit Boat w/ Catfish - 8/10 Biscuit Boat w/Tenders - 7/10 My boyfriend has gotten the biscuit boat both times once with catfish and once with tenders, he says he prefers it with catfish as the sauce is complimented best with the catfish. However, he says he wouldn't get it a third time, it tastes delicious, just too rich for an early breakfast. Maybe better eaten closer to lunch time. Grits - 10/10 As expected, best grits I've had from a restaurant. Perfectly seasoned. French Toast w/ eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 chicken tenders - 9/10 This was my favorite! Chicken tender, bacon, egg, and grits all in one bite was truly mind blowing, an explosion of flavors in one bite. The chicken tenders are so good with it. And as expected eggs were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Bacon may have been overcooked, was crispy just a little tough, but not really a big deal. Bacon is bacon! French toast tasted also amazing paired with a bite of a tender, such good flavors. French toast alone - 6/10 The french toast itself is cooked just fine, but I'm not a fan of the bread they use for it, like a canes toast with sesame seeds. I just don't prefer it, but it's still just fine! Didn't find it was too flavorful is all. But maybe that's just me. It certainly looks delightful!
