Food NetworkMay 23, 2013Trying to figure out which Louisiana-made hot sauce to shake into your gumbo? Crystal sauce adds rounded, smoky pepper notes, while Tabasco delivers a tangy kick. Via CityEats.com Read more
Chantal SJuly 8, 2012The crab soup was amazing but the double chocolate bread pudding is to die for ask for Ike the server. He is a real character and is a regular on the HBO series Treme
Kendra MonkJanuary 19, 2014The red fish is AMAZING! Get it. The alligator boudin balls? Eat them. The NOLA Blonde? Drink it. I know what I'm talking about. Trust me! And Ike the server? Request him. He is NOLA.Upvoted Oct 7
Lonnie ThornFebruary 21, 2020Gumbo is some of the best I've ever had, entree was the mahi mahi with beurre blanc and grilled asparagus, paid extra to have it topped with jumbo lump crab. Absolutely amazing!!!
Cusp25November 22, 2019A casual seafood place; the BBQ oysters, gumbo and blackened catfish were excellent
James BrownJune 17, 2019Try the Crab n Creole: Crab and grilled corn over sliced local tomatoes. Try the Fried Oyster Po Boy: the fried oysters are perfectly seasoned with a tangy sauce which really balances the sandwich.
Anna BoyechkoJanuary 21We are oysters and crab dip and both were delicious :) the service begs for more friendliness. Prices are on a higher side, but for seafood more than acceptable.
Heather HansenMay 23, 2013The redfish was amazing! I could have poured the sauce in a glass and drank it! The crab appetizer was also delicious. Overall, will definitely come back.
Jenny JurjevichOctober 2, 2013Ask for Stephen, he is fantastic! The BBQ oyster poboy makes for a great lunch. Not your typical BBQ sauce. Delicious!!! Fresh bread! Will be back!
Sylvester GloverOctober 5, 2018The best bread pudding I've ever had! Double chocolate, vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate and white chocolate ganache!
Jessica Herbst-ThornFebruary 17, 2020The mahi with crab, shrimp and buerre blanc was delish! Couple of false starts...but Dawn handled difficulties professionally and curteously.
Carrie GuinnSeptember 11, 2014Had the red fish stew and it was excellent. The bread was similar to Cuban bread. The butler was big and tasted good.
Izzy AlvaradoMarch 27, 2014Great place for lunch, definitely not the hustle and bustle that others describe. Right next to the Astor, makes a great quick lunch.
Kate RitchieJuly 7, 2013Get the red fish, pair with the BBQ oysters and a friend to share and you are on your way to being one happy person
Allen DuheMay 14, 2013The bar-b-qued oysters and the chocolate bread pudding are worth the calories! Make a reservation - especially on a weekend - to avoid a lengthy wait.- Doug WMay 13, 2017Not the best food in New Orleans but damn good. If you're over 40 and married there's no reason to venture further down Bourbon St after 6:00 PM.
DaveMay 3, 2015This place is obviously a tourist trap, but the "BBQ" (fried) oysters are definitely tasty, as is the crab cake. Extensive whiskey collection.
DianeSeptember 28, 2013Had the crab cake and it was very good. Also had the chocolate soufflé. Our waiter John was very personable.
VernaSeptember 8, 2012Sit at the bar instead of waiting for a table. Get the BBQ oysters and crab dish with cheddar biscuits. Skip the gumbo.
Jonathon TaylorJanuary 10, 2022Barbecued oysters with blue cheese were ridiculous. The entrée was good, but I could just do the oysters. Dozens upon dozens of them
Andrea HApril 23, 2013Great for convenience (close to most hotels) not on price but the food is really good and the staff is friendly.
Matty CitoMay 29, 2015Fried Oysters and the Red Bull Bloody Maria. 4 shrimp and 2 crab claws in my breakfix cocktail
- Don KearneyJune 25, 2015IKE...our waiter, absolutely a JOY to experience... The food was presented in a knowledgeable manner... and you know just what your getting and what taste to expect .
Debbie Curtis-MagleyApril 20, 2012Enjoyed the BBQ Shrimp and Grits. Savory but not too much food to leave you stuffed. Has a kids menu (bonus!)
Best food in the quarter.... gumbo, bbq'd oysters, and hickory grilled red fish... dessert double chocolate bread pudding.... ask for tony... ill take good care of ya
Gambit New OrleansNovember 16, 2012Try the "BBQ oysters" they are fried oysters coated with Crystal hot sauce and topped with blue cheese. Read more
Samantha WhitfieldAugust 19, 2013The shrimp and grits are delicious! Their barbecue sauce is very complex and interesting.
Ask for Adam and Michele, they were great. Get the BBQ oysters, they were so good that we ordered MORE!!!
Maria WhiteApril 23, 2013The Hickory Smoked Red Fish is AMAZING!! Waiting on Chocolate Bread Pudding. Guessing that will also be fantastic!!!- Billy BarkensdaleJune 4, 2011The BEST restaurant in New Orleans! Hickory Grilled Redfish is PERFECT!!! The double chocolate bread pudding is also a must!
Kendra RobertsAugust 12, 2010Request Ike--he is waiter extradinaire and has guest spots on Treme. Come hungry, order the BBQ Oysters, the Red Fish and the Double Chocolate Bread Pudding!
Paul MorrisJune 25, 2013Get the redfish, and don't forget to order the bread pudding a la mode! Incredible!
Esti MarieApril 26, 2013The bread pudding rocks!! You HAVE to get it. Don't leave with out it al la mode!
Jonathan DiscountApril 30, 2013Excellent food & service. We had Ike for a big group of guys (bachelor party).
David MooreJanuary 1, 2014Ask for Brandon. Gumbo is good, just small. Barbecue oysters are more like buffalo style oysters.
Courtney H.February 3, 2013Attending a private party. The food is amazing!! Will def return on my own.
