Try the sausage, it's great! The gumbo rocks! It has a home recipe feel that reminded me of my grandmother. And, the drum divine! Banana creme pie, oh yeah! Really great food and great sevice!

An American and New Orleans classic. The gumbo is excellent and the chef doesn't tone down the spice at all. Enjoyed the ribeye on this visit.

Emeril's steak is quite possibly the best I've ever had. WIthout a doubt it was in the top five of my life. Fantastic service to boot. Let me swap for the sides that came with the chicken.

To the world Emeril is a famous chef, to New Orleans he's a local. His original spot remains a top dinner or lunch choice. Get the chicken & waffles or bbq shrimp, your stomach will thank you later.

Delicious pork chop, *perfectly* cooked. Lots of great char. Tender, juicy, not in the least dry. Really impressed at our meal here, tbh. Emeril could easily have chosen to coast on his rep.

Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was great! The gumbo was unconventional but tasty. I had a Mezcal cocktail that was excellent. The food is pricy but consistent and good.

Perfect place for a date night. Pork chops are very big and please get the andouille and boudin appetizer with collard greens.

Nice venue with delicious food , portions are European size, but good enough. Drink menu is satisfying with great wines and cocktails, and super rich variety of whiskey. Spacious. Prices affordable.

Best restaurant in New Orleans !!! Best Gumbo, and the pork chop are the best !
Lucretia ParkerSeptember 5, 2015
The barbecue shrimp is to die for. The pork chop is amazing and freakishly huge

Emeril put the fear of god into this banana cream pie. Just look at those bananas stacked ever so perfectly. Read more

Try the Peach Bruschetta & the Andouille Crusted Rainbow Trout. My husband had the Buffalo Chappapeela Duck Wings, the arugula salad & the fish of the day (swordfish). Everything was delicious!
Greg SteinNovember 13, 2013
Start with the duck wings. ... The awesome begins. ... Entree to your taste. ... Then partake of the Holy Goodness known as their banana cream pie. Thou shalt not be disappointed.
J Monique CollierMarch 24, 2013
Homemade Andouille and Boudin, Powerfully delicious pork chops followed by sweet potato ice cream @ roasted pineapple. Can you say "BAM!" The Banana cream pie was good too
Mypat BoboDecember 11, 2014
Everything I ate here was wonderful. Try a medium rare burger and the extremely good barbecue shrimp, maybe the best in New Orleans.
Caitlin Mae BurkeJanuary 11, 2013
There are a few tables by the bar where you don't need a reservation. Service was fantastic, and the andouille crusted drum fish was light and delicious.
jenn voJanuary 20, 2016
I've never had banana cream pie, but it was amazing here. Pork chop, bbq shrimp, and calamari are must haves
Benia BoonkasemsantiJanuary 4, 2014
The best of all my trip. Chocolate soufflé was out if this world. The service was impeccable. Will come back again!
Christine NolanMarch 31, 2014
The tuna salad is more like lettuce wraps, but it's the best thing on the menu. Emeril's is the finest restaurant in New Orleans, don't miss it.
Christy KuoDecember 8, 2013
Surprisingly good!! Go with mussels for appetizers and crusted drum for entree!
rhea sunshineNovember 11, 2012
Great service, good bread, mmm pepper jelly calamari, & tasty scallops and grits.

Allen Nguyen, chef of Bayou Hot Wings, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Sticky Buffalo Chappapeela Farms duck wings.
John DuarteSeptember 1, 2014
Banana Cream Pie!!!! Good lord it's divine. That's enough to bring you here. Perfect ambiance as well!
Alexis Luciano-MitchellApril 3, 2016
I loved the food and the wine, I recommend this place to anyone.
Amanda CorviniAugust 16, 2010
Good food and great wine selection. If you want chocolate soufflé you must order it WITH your meal. We didn't even know it was on the menu and had to wait 45 minutes after we had dinner.
Paolo TraversApril 26, 2017
The food was good. Service however was spotty. Seated at counter. I saw four other people get some small appetizers (asides from their regular ones) not on the menu but I was not given these.
VoniaAugust 24, 2014
Dining Week Deals are perfect; Cornbread & Foccacia, Bucatini Nero were great; The Porkchop could be more tender, Rice Pudding not the best....
Elia AlbarranMay 14, 2016
Everything is spot on. Try the daily soup, you won't be disappointed.
Leilane vdMOctober 31, 2012
The home-made Andouille and Boudin is absolutely divine.! Absolutely one of the very best restaurants in New Orleans.
Jenny KnipferJune 21, 2014
The Fettuccini Nero was awesome, they even took us into the kitchen, so we could get a picture!
Chloe CondonNovember 19, 2017
Wagyu was fantastic. You CANNOT skip the banana cream pie.
OliviaJuly 11, 2015
Where do I start?! Excellent food, stuff, ambience, everything !

Emeril Lagasse serves up Creole cuisine, like Homemade Andouille and Boudin, in the city that inspired it all at Emeril's New Orleans.
Bonny PoohAugust 28, 2013
Emeril's is always good! Try the one in Orlando too. It is fantastic!! :)
Allison KasicNovember 16, 2016
Best chicken and waffles I've ever had.
Amanda WNovember 7, 2012
Get a seat overlooking the kitchen - it's great entertainment while you wait for your food!
Jeremy YanSeptember 22, 2015
Bam, the $22.5 3 course lunch is very good and reasonable portions.
İlker BahçeMarch 10, 2015
Difficult to find words to describe the taste. Every choice takes you to another wonder of taste.
Mary Ann CaramMay 8, 2015
If you leave this place without eating a slice of Banana Cream Pie, you have failed at life.
Jason KlegsethJune 8, 2018
Andouille crusted gulf drum, banana cream pie
Phyllis SchneiderJanuary 12, 2016
Good food but service was excellent. Very attentive to@our needs
Kobe SakiJanuary 30, 2015
I wish I tried the banana cream pie and the pork chop. I tried the chicken and waffles. Overall the meal was mediocre. Not horrible at all. Particularly the organic chicken was tasty.
Ronald VillotaNovember 2, 2010
Excellent service with reasonable price. Foods are great too. Sweet and sour lamb spare ribs is a must for appetizer :-)
NOSMHJuly 24, 2012
Try the Double Cut Pork Chop - Swapped the sweet potato with andouille potatoes.

Try the Sweet BBQ Glazed Salmon! It's delicious.
