Esti MarieApril 29, 2013The French onion soup is awesome! Best I have had, ever. Also the sampler is a great choice if u want to try all the local faves. The jambalaya was the best!
Alain RodríguezJuly 21, 2014I arrived as asked for a Grey Goose Bloody Mary and the waitress kindly insisted in bring it with the house's vodka infused so I could taste the difference. Confirmed: the best Boody Marys in town!
Rod SagerApril 22, 2016The building is old, close to three hundred years old. The waitstaff was awesome and the food pretty good. Ambience was noisy but outstanding none-the-less.
Emily SimonOctober 9, 2017Pierre Maspero's is a MUST when you're in NOLA. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the shrimp & grits. Ask for our girl Taranesha :)
Carolina EscobarMarch 9, 2014I lost my fried alligator virginity here. So yummy. The hurricanes are $12.50 but TRUST me it's well worth it. Did I mention the jambalaya was heaven sent? This place deserves an A+.- Love this place. Wonderful food, spice Bloody Mary, fabulous bread pudding. Can't be beat for New Orleans atmosphere.
sharon dicksonJuly 11, 2013Awesome! Fried green tomatoes so good! And ask for Jeremy. If you have a special diet need like me, he works on making good suggestions for what to have. Me? Redfish!
Eliza TarasilaJuly 2Decent chicken and waffles and mimosas! Won't blow your mind, but you won't regret it either! However, if you need coffee, definitely try elsewhere.
JW CogmanNovember 3, 2014Crab cakes are fantastic. Crispy on the outside, succulent and light on the inside, with just the right amount of spice.
🌺Laura Halter🌺June 27, 2015Such a classy little bar/restaurant. Get the taste of Louisiana trio - all three are amazing!- DesireeApril 19, 2015Good place for Dinner. Had the Gator Bites, Fried Green Tomatoes, Rib Eye with Cajun Potatoes, and Bread Pudding.
