The Stuffed Shrimp Pistolettes are the perfect yummy messy delicious treat - kinda of a seafood bisque sandwich!

No no no. Touristy place for sure. Had the jambalaya and some sort of bo boy. Was awful. And so was the service. Didn't taste fresh at all.

Changed the menu two weeks ago. Old favorites like the onion soup and the bread pudding are gone! :(

Latest from the former mayor of Mexicali Blues: Try the Shock top!!!

They have the BEST french onion soup I've ever had: crispy melted cheese on top and extremely hearty aroma of sakts& seasonings. Yum!

Bloody mary mix is housemade & amazing. Order a draft pint w/ a 'shot' of mix for an outsatnding bloody beer!

Gator worth the try. Table consensus says generous portions of bland, non-seasoned meat.

Blackened Jambalaya

The crab cakes are unreal.

Pistolettes were good, not a fan of the grits
Amanda LincolnNovember 8, 2013
Had our first dinner in NO here. Not really worth it. Good history/story but the food was sub par. Lacked in seasoning all around, fries were from a bag. They don't allow side substitutions.
Deanna RoseMay 7, 2015
Good food, great bloody mary
Janey ElmgreenOctober 18, 2017
Not bad, perfectly fine chicken salad for lunch!

Skip the crawfish beignets but grab a bloody Mary.
Luke GaudynskiMay 3, 2010

SERVICE IS TERRIBLE!! Our gumbo came out cold.. Not warm, cold. Like they forgot to heat it up. Server never came back to check on us. Waited over 30 minutes for a refill. Food is ok, nothing great.
