Our Guestbook
“ my favorite restaurant experience in new orleans! we got a seat on the balcony- excellent for people watching. our waitress had a warm southern vibe (other places we've been to have had rude waiting staff ngl). the food was generously portioned, the char grilled oysters were light on the cheese and exactly what I was imagining when people would hype them up- these were delicious! be warned- the crawfish is SPICY. the only seafood boil i've experienced are the buttery bagged ones at home, so I wasn't expecting them to be served on a tray looking dry here. believe me tho those things are SEASONED in the inside. delicious!!! ”
“ Happy I came here with family, the food was great. My table ordered a lot of food including catfish, red beans n rice, crab cakes, Mac n cheese, and my dish was Seafood Pasta (with shrimp and crawfish tails). My dish tasted really good as I thought it would be a regular creamy pasta but it's actually a creole creamy pasta which taste lovely. My next favorite was the catfish, it melts in your mouth. ”
“ Interesting restaurant....Had not planned on going to this restaurant but had not planned on the snow storm and many places closed. This definitely is a dive restaurant but dives have some of the best food and this place did not disappoint. We had fried seafood which was delicious service was good and efficient. Only complaints I had were bathroom was gross and because of the weather they could not leave windows open and spices in boil were really strong. Boil pots are near windows in main dining room and we were all coughing. Would recommend if you are wanting some great seafood ”
“ The smell will lure you in every time. The French Market never misses for me. The service is usually pretty quick and your food comes out fast as well. The food is flavored to perfection. I usually always come here whenever I'm in town! ”
“ I've been to the French Quarter many a time but have never visited here but glad that I stopped in for some char broiled oysters and lively conversation. It was a good time overall. ”
“ Kept smelling something while walking around and found where it was coming from so randomly stopped in here for some lunch and it did NOT disappoint! The staff was prompt, kind and service didn't leave anything to be desired. The food... A+! Sooo good! We were very pleased with our experience. Keep up the good work! ”
