Biscuits are big, made in house and phenomenal. You can split your Benedict to get each biscuit half with a different topping. I highly recommend friend chicken and Cochon. Good cocktails too

Jay de C

Go for the trifecta of fried chicken , cochon and shrimp Benedicts. Add a Bloody Mary and a mimosa and you have a superb brunch ! Very busy, but if you pitch up at 2pm you should find no queue!

Will Curran

Chicken St. Charles was bomb! Perfect amount of food. Trick to avoid the wait is to come alone. I walked up and got seated immediately at the bar .

Daniel Bastardo Blanco

This is a must-visit breakfast spot in New Orleans. Try their Egg Couchon, it's fantastic! Br aware though, it might seem small but it's very filling.

Ross Robertson

You know you picked the right place when they have a 45 min wait in a Monday morning. Multiple Benny's on the menu with good coffee . I had the Costa Rican breakfast . Not a fan of sweet salsa though.

Eliza Tarasila

Authentic NOLA brunch ! Try the shrimp and grits or the pancakes with honey hot chicken ! Mimosas are on point as well ! Make sure to add yourself to the waitlist online to avoid the queue!

Peter Schott

The “Peacemaker” (combo of two eggs Benedict is a must try. Loved the cochon and fried chicken . Also don’t miss the fried green tomatoes and the mimosas !

Kathleen Vargas

For sure come for breakfast . They are known for their Egg Cochon and their Chicken St. Charles. Get it you would definitely not be disappointed. Get also their famous mimosa . ❤️️

Karen Cooper

Umm it’s all about the Benedicts- get the peacemaker to try two different ones! Blackstone was my fav (i love a classic) but the chicken benny was also bomb. Great Bloody Mary . Exceptional service ????

Divya Mulanjur

Must go brunch place . Do not think- order the eggs Blackstone or egga Cochon. Just about anything with those delicious eggs in it. Try the brandy milk punch if you'd like something sweet.

Majed Alashari

Cozy place with nice siting. Cinnamon swirl pancake was good but there is no test of cinnamon on it. It like having a plain pancake . Service is good especially the guy in the bar .

Wassel M

One of the most unique brunch menus!Food is really good! Would recommend the peace maker, cuz you get to choose a mix of 2 orders! Had to wait for about 1h 40 mins to get seated, “they will text you“

Brenna Graham

We LOVED it! The French Toast bites were a tasty app. The cream cheese drizzle & crunchy goodness of the bread was perfect. The Peacemaker was a great way to try 2 different eggs benedict . Outstanding

Marjorie D

The cochon and fried chicken benedict were great! Would also recommend trying their seasonal mimosas . Did not disappoint! It's worth the wait.

Natalie Burns

Ridiculous, huge, buttery, delicious. I still can’t believe I ate Southern fried chicken for breakfast , but I completely loved it. This is how guilty pleasures start.

Ipek E

Best brunch after a night out on the French Quarter. Get the Louisianan omelet (served with cheese grits ) with a side of banana chocolate peanut butter pancakes !

Nicole Cheramie

A favorite breakfast & brunch spot for locals, this beloved diner offers generous portions and bottomless coffee . Order one of the omelettes , Eggs Benedict, or grab the biggest biscuits in town .

The staff went out of the way and let us sit outside, even when there were not any waitresses for that area. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed their brunch !

Rachel

Nice place to have brunch I got the shrimp boogaloo benefit which is pretty good. Have to be there early otherwise have to wait at least 30 minutes on weekdays and weekend more than 1hour

jeff landsberg

Smoked salmon eggs and biscuits was heavenly. Try a short stack of pancakes with fruit compote . Excellent coffee and no frills space. Long lines so call ahead for a reservation

Marcelius F.

Hands down the best place for breakfast ever. Try the Bacon Bloody Mary or the Mimosa together with Chicken St. Charles or the Croquet Madame! Really gonna miss this place..

Deep Gujral

Eggs Cochon ... Amazing. Always an extremely long line and wait on Sunday's though. I recommend putting your name down and taking a stroll for 30 minutes.

Elizabeth De La Haye

Friend had the avocado on toast and I had the blueberry pancakes , both were delicious but I couldn’t eat all of the pancakes as it was huge so come hungry!

Hillary Nguyen

Eggs Cochon . Pretty good. The biscuit was a little hard. Maybe a little over done. The fresh toast was excellent. Chocolate milk and hot chocolate is basically the same drink!

Greg Schulz

Got the banana pecan pancakes . They're huge, and come with bacon . The syrup that is left out is a maple blend, so if you want 100%, you have to ask for it and pay extra. Worth it.

Michelle Lowery

This place was delicious!!! Our server Lindsay was sweet and speedy! Get the pecan bacon pancake if offered. Eggs Cochon was fantastic. Order the docket mimosa . You will not regret coming here!!

Salil Gulati

The eggs cochon are essentially eggs Benedict but with a HUGE portion of pulled pork subbed in for Canadian bacon , and a biscuit instead of English muffin . Excellent stuff

Jamie Lynn

Eggs Cochon with a side of potatoes for the win!

Lucas Zarlengo

Quick and friendly service . Bennies with interesting twists and great sweet items. Definitely a fun and tasty place.

Kameron Pearson

Best Bloody Mary's in town . Get the bacon infused vodka . You won't regret it!

Kel

Well worth the wait if there is a queue .. Everything here was just sooo good and a double mimosa is the perfect way to start the day here :)

John Krogman

Great breakfast . You can split the eggs Benedict and try different combinations. I had the fried chicken on one and homemade corned beef hash on the other.

Robert

Worth the wait! Ask for Jessica! Order the Eggs Cochon ! Get some Potatoes ! Wash it down with some fresh OJ and enjoy one of the better breakfasts in NOLA!! Trust me, I'm fat!

Marcelius F.

What's not to like? Mimosa , Bacon Bloody Mary , Chicken St. Charles, Croquet Madame, the pancakes or cheesecake stuffed French toast . Everything is delicious!

Gabriel Dietrich

The best egg benedicts I've ever had. Will have to return tomorrow. The place is big so even if there's a line , everything will be fine. Super friendly staff

Zach R

The Costa Rican Breakfast is amazing. Great coffee . Always packed so get there early or be prepared to wait.

Jacey Wright

Chicken St Charles was delicious! Portions are big, bring your appetite. I sat at the bar and service was excellent!

Ab

It’s easy to complement bacon , but Lordy that bacon was good. The pancake flight is the way to go for those with a sweet tooth

Andrew Harvey

Do yourself a favour and get one of the Eggs Benedict. If you can't choose, opt for a peacemaker and choose half and half .

Tabitha Mojica

Long wait . Convenient 10 min walk from quarter! Mimosa 's strong. Grits and cinnamon pancakes amazing. Regular French toast are bland but the waiter was fun and the service was great.

Hursean Whitfield

The Grits and Shrimp was very good!!!! Our waitress Courtney was extremely nice.....Great place with wonderful service

Dave Whelan

So a lot of people recommend the Brandy Milk Punch . But do you know them? Can you trust them? Well , you can trust me. And you should get the Brandy Milk Punch .

Gena Dixon

Best meal I had since visiting, BBQ shrimp & grits , Eggs Cochon , Brandy milk punch , and Ruby Slipper Mimosa , their Signature drink and dishes.

Gus

Super crowed but definitely worth! BANANAS FOSTER PAIN PERDU with candy bacon is spectacular!

Alexander McRae

Everything is delicious. Bananas Foster Pain Perdu made me close my eyes and say a little prayer. ????????

joreannys GRM

great place to have a family moment I wouldnt found this place if was for this app call Service Empire, is really cool have a personal assistant and must for free !

Nicole Greenlee

Hungover from a long night out? Kindly ask your server for a side of fries for the table. Then tip them generously for allowing you to order them before 11am. Love this spot.

Gerri F

Southern breakfast...just opened two blocks from the 200 magazine location...no line ...come on down

Iffat Jokhio

This is perhaps my favourite brunch place ! Worth the wait and so delicious! I have days when I crave the fried chicken Benny.
