  Exceptional Cajun dining experience! The food was full of rich flavors, especially the pork dishes and brussel sprouts. Rustic modern interior with a great atmosphere, highly attentive service, and top-tier presentation. A must-visit spot in New Orleans!

  A great find close to our hotel here in New Orleans. We had to wait for around 25 minutes due to us not having reserved and it being a busy Saturday night. The food was great; hearty and unpretentious. The ambiance was nice and the service was a highlight. Mike, our Waiter, was attentive without being over bearing and shared some nice insight on the food and other topics. Would recommend.

  I came here because I wanted something that felt properly Louisiana without just ordering the same things I'd already eaten around the Quarter. The menu made that harder than expected because almost everything sounded good. I ended up with the wood-fired oysters, cochon, chicken and dumplings, and the Louisiana pecan pie. The oysters were the thing I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did. They came out hot and smoky with a sauce that made me want more bread immediately. The cochon was tender and packed with flavor, and the chicken and dumplings had that slow-cooked comfort-food feeling that made me forget I was supposed to save room. Then the pecan pie arrived, and that was basically the end of my self-control. It was sweet, nutty, and went very well with a cup of coffee afterward. This place felt a little rough around the edges in a good way. It doesn't feel like someone polished every bit of character out of it. The food has plenty of personality too, and I liked that almost everything tasted like it had a story behind it.

  We went for lunch and ordered the following; - Alligator - oyster and bacon sandwich - rabbit and dumpling - striped bass - lemon pie Everything was so delicious, i ordered the bass and it was perfect, smooth but crunchy. My compliments to the lemon pie, must say it was one of the best I ever tried, exquisite. Definitely recommend this place!

  After dining here four times in the past ten years, I continue to be impressed by the quality of food out of this kitchen. A must visit destination when you are in New Orleans. You know the food is good when I forgot to take pictures of everything I ordered. Not pictures- the oysters (must order, comes in this beautiful six oyster container with a pool of seasoned butter for bread dipping 🤤); the boudin - fried to perfection with acidic compliments; deep fried liver. The Cochon dish this week is supported by pickled turnips, stewed cabbage, and crunchy chicharrons. The grits (from the side menu) were to die for. Other people in my group also had high praise for the gumbo, the collards, and the brisket dish. Oh, a word on the cocktail list - inventive and delicious. The watermelon cocktail came with some delicious pickled watermelon rinds. I failed to pry out the secret ingredients from the waiter, but I tried.
