    The crawfish etouffee is life changing. I wanted to dive into the bowl! I will definitely come back to this city just for this dish. The staff was great! Friendly, helpful, & remembered our names! 👍

    One of my better stops in NOLA! Come here for perfect food and GLASSWARE! It made me happy to get a beer in a glass glass! Also one of the only places with non-fried shrimp! A+

    Come for the Royal Brunch (eggs any way, bacon or sausage, choice of toast and grits or potatoes) and get unlimited mimosas! 9-11 weekends.

    The Seafood Nachos made me reevaluate everything I thought I knew about personal happiness and food-related joy. Seriously, they're phenomenal.

    As a tourist, I highly recommend the oyster shooter and Cajun sampler. Best of everything. You'll leave full and happy as hell.

    Replaced the beloved Royal Street Deli. Good gumbo and red beans & rice. Friendly waitstaff and clean beer lines for their drafts.

    Went for breakfast at 11:30am/noon after they stopped serving at 11am. Very gracious of them to offer us breakfast but we got overcooked eggs and sausage. French toast looked good though at that hour.

    Get the shooters! Great appetizers too...fried green tomatoes and catfish bites were delicious.

    Pass on the fried green tomatoes. They were greasy over cooked and came with French dressing as a dip. Red beans and rice is just ok. Good local dark beer on tap though.

    Red beans and rice wasn't great. Rice was VERY undercooked (still crunchy.)Other patrons were especially drunk (at 1pm) and rowdy the day we went in. Only redeeming thing was the fried green tomatoes.

    Didn't think I would like loaded french fries with roast beef on top, but I was amazed.

    Literally my most favorite restaurant in the Quarter. I have had everything on the menu, and not a single thing was I disappointed in. The service is great, and locals get a discount. Shrimp & grits!
