Riley ShryockFebruary 21, 2015Great draft beers? Reasonable oysters. I visited on Ash Wednesday so that isn't a fair day to judge them. But I did. Good enough, but you can do better.
Jonathon TaylorJanuary 10, 2022Obligatory charbroiled oysters mention, but my girlfriend really enjoyed the baked shrimp tortellini
craig weltyJanuary 13, 2013Give all your money to the red haired magician out front. World famous magician tommee pickles. call him tammy to get an extra awesome magic trick- LorenzoApril 20, 2015The sauce served with the crab claw appetizer is one of the best things I've eaten in New Orleans.
Glenn BlockAugust 17, 2014Had the alligator appetizer, shrimp creole and the crawfish ravioli. All delish! Kid friendly.
Mary MaryJuly 21, 2013Amir and Allison at the bar, the A-Team. Fantastic time. Also, free appetizer with four square check-in (just gotta order 2 entrees).
Phillip AustriaFebruary 14, 2015Ask Cisco to make you one of his specialty drinks! He doesn't have the title mixologist, but he deserves it! Will not disappoint!
Katie B.March 29, 2013Service was quick and we got our food within 20 minutes of sitting down. Food was spectacular. Sit on the second floor if you can, the view is incredible!
Tina JainFebruary 28, 2015sit upstairs and outside. overlooks royal street and sometimes there is jazz street music!
BilonJanuary 27, 2014The oyster pasta is amazing!! I am not a fan of fried oysters, but wow, what an awesome dish!
lyza kingMarch 5, 2020The oyster tacos are really small bites of nachos. They were good and just the amount I needed.
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)June 10, 2011Charbroiled oysters were succulent, order the dozen! If you like the ones at Drago's, you'll love the ones here. The owners own 8 other restaurants in New Orleans, very friendly service.
Grady FitzgeraldApril 15, 2014My favorite NOLA seafood place. The oysters royal and crawfish cakes are delicious.
Terri KanaiSeptember 4, 2014Oysters Royal are to die for! Don't forget to add Crystal Hot Sauce on it!!
Luis Ricardo HdzNovember 16, 2015Try the étouffée, simply delicious! The charbroiled oysters are good too.
Neil HerschkowitzJanuary 13, 2015Sit at the bar and order the oysters raw or char grilled. Consistency, service and ambience.
Shannon LittleMarch 5, 2013The blackened shrimp and jambalaya is amazing! The reddish has a steak like consistency and is very rich. Yum!
AmerMay 11, 2015This place is great. The oysters were so fresh. Jeffrey, the bartender, was friendly and very informative.
Drew LewandowskiNovember 9, 2011Great service! Sit outside and have a bottle of wine. Have the char oysters and request Michelle!

Jessica MaynardJanuary 14, 2018Peal and eat shrimp, hush puppies and shrimp tortellini are amazing!!!

KayleeAugust 19, 2015This place is critically underrated! Try the fried gator and charbroiled oysters
Matt DermodyAugust 2, 2015Crawfish Cakes taste kind of like thanksgiving stuffing with a remoulade on top. Do It
Miz JackieMay 28, 2015Check out the crawfish cakes and crawfish etouffe 😄 And wash it down some Hurricane yum!!!

Carrie X.September 22, 2013Love this place! The redfish beignets are heavenly... Ask about the discount for locals ;)
John WelchSeptember 7, 2018No martini glasses, yet they were $12 a piece. Although there were few people there; the waiters gathered among themselves and chatted while they could have been attentive to my hand waving in the air
Sara ElizabethNovember 17, 2012Delicious food... If it comes out hot. Was here around 2pm and my dish came out 20 min after everyone else's. Checks took 25 min. Etc.
Fred TurkingtonNovember 7, 2017Superficial and touristy - not at all what I was expecting after reading reviews on here. It's cacophonous, and the oyster "tacos" are fried oysters served on crappy, underseasoned tortilla chips.
Talia PerrottaApril 2, 2013From one out of towner to another. Get the chargrilled oysters. Dozen or you'll wish you had (we did!)
Alyssa KDMarch 2, 2014I never eat grits. Ever. And the shrimp and grits was the best thing I've had in a ridiculously long time.

"I love this place when the sun is down and the piano is playing. The purple stuff will catch up with you quick. It's a great getaway from Bourbon Street while still being on Bourbon Street."
