Chris PolloneSeptember 18, 2015An 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.
Joe MartinezDecember 29, 2012Try 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!
Stephanie DownesMay 19, 2013Emeril'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.
Patrick SchutzJanuary 21, 2020Everything 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.
- Nicole CheramieNovember 27, 2018To 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.
MuratSeptember 17, 2022Nice 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.
Sam ElliottMay 10, 2018Delicious 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.
Kathleen VargasNovember 11, 2016Perfect place for a date night. Pork chops are very big and please get the andouille and boudin appetizer with collard greens.

- Kar MariscalDecember 28, 2019Best restaurant in New Orleans !!! Best Gumbo, and the pork chop are the best !
Lucretia ParkerSeptember 5, 2015The barbecue shrimp is to die for. The pork chop is amazing and freakishly huge
Mypat BoboDecember 11, 2014Everything I ate here was wonderful. Try a medium rare burger and the extremely good barbecue shrimp, maybe the best in New Orleans.
Ivette TorresJuly 23, 2013Try 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!
J Monique CollierMarch 24, 2013Homemade 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
Chefs FeedOctober 16, 2015Allen Nguyen, chef of Bayou Hot Wings, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Sticky Buffalo Chappapeela Farms duck wings.- Greg SteinNovember 13, 2013Start 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.
Caitlin Mae BurkeJanuary 11, 2013There 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.- Christine NolanMarch 31, 2014The 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.
Benia BoonkasemsantiJanuary 4, 2014The best of all my trip. Chocolate soufflé was out if this world. The service was impeccable. Will come back again!
jenn voJanuary 20, 2016I've never had banana cream pie, but it was amazing here. Pork chop, bbq shrimp, and calamari are must haves
VoniaAugust 24, 2014Dining Week Deals are perfect; Cornbread & Foccacia, Bucatini Nero were great; The Porkchop could be more tender, Rice Pudding not the best....
Alexis Luciano-MitchellApril 3, 2016I loved the food and the wine, I recommend this place to anyone.
Christy KuoDecember 8, 2013Surprisingly good!! Go with mussels for appetizers and crusted drum for entree!
rhea sunshineNovember 11, 2012Great service, good bread, mmm pepper jelly calamari, & tasty scallops and grits.
John DuarteSeptember 1, 2014Banana Cream Pie!!!! Good lord it's divine. That's enough to bring you here. Perfect ambiance as well!
Amanda CorviniAugust 16, 2010Good 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.
Jenny KnipferJune 21, 2014The Fettuccini Nero was awesome, they even took us into the kitchen, so we could get a picture!
Leilane vdMOctober 31, 2012The home-made Andouille and Boudin is absolutely divine.! Absolutely one of the very best restaurants in New Orleans.

Food NetworkJanuary 18, 2011Emeril Lagasse serves up Creole cuisine, like Homemade Andouille and Boudin, in the city that inspired it all at Emeril's New Orleans.
- Paolo TraversApril 26, 2017The 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.
Amanda WNovember 7, 2012Get a seat overlooking the kitchen - it's great entertainment while you wait for your food!
Ronald VillotaNovember 2, 2010Excellent service with reasonable price. Foods are great too. Sweet and sour lamb spare ribs is a must for appetizer :-)- İlker BahçeMarch 10, 2015Difficult to find words to describe the taste. Every choice takes you to another wonder of taste.
Mary Ann CaramMay 8, 2015If you leave this place without eating a slice of Banana Cream Pie, you have failed at life.
