The Market Cafe

Ate here for lunch today. Our server, Gerald, was excellent with suggestions and advise regarding food. Service was good, food was great. Definitely recommended for a relaxing lunch . Plus live music !

We got the alligator sausage which was spicy and delicious. We also opted for a catfish poboy and an oyster and shrimp poboy . Both were crispy with great flavor. Hurricanes were nothing special.

Excellent jazz band ; Delicious remoulade sauce (ask for it to accompany any po' boy you order), the gumbo is way better elsewhere, & ask to sample the beer before getting a glass--it may be flat.

Amazing service, amazing food, great location and very affordable . They have a good taste of the New Orleans cuisine without making you eat your wallet.

Fast and nice service. Good food, live music . Sounds like a great place to have a meal halfway through French Market .

Enjoyed a shrimp Po-boy and fruit daiquiri here. Vibrant setting, I love sitting outside. The service was lacking a bit though.

Catfish and shrimp were perfectly cooked and had a wonderful light crust. Best catfish I've had in years.

Good breakfast , and a great breakfast drink- mimosa with cranberry juice instead of orange - super refreshing.

Nice place to eat and listen to some live music . The jambalaya and muffuletta were fantastic.

Muffuletta sandwich is enough for 3!!! Seriously! it is round and as big as the plate!! it is soooo delish!!! a must try!!!

Wings are AWESOME! Ribs we're over cooked tho. Great service and wonderful place to people watch . One of my favorite spots here

Their boiled shrimps are large, seasonal and fresh. My parents (experts in eating shrimps ) love them.

First time here. Having a muffuletta and listening to some jazz ! Also pet friendly and have our dog water!

Wings here were the best I've had in my life! Breakfast buffet is decent not fab tho. Great atmosphere

They let my friend bring his central grocery muffaletta in while we listened to jazz . That's cool. Loved the band, the salad , the whole vibe.

Nice outdoor cafe to grab a drink and listen to live music in the afternoon. But need a better beer selection .

The fried shrimp plate is one of the best I've ever had. Very well seasoned and good breading .

The alligator is awesome. Services is great. Drinks are nice and strong and you get live music when you eat. Fun place!

Everything. I have been her many times and really like it

Second time ive been here. Welcomed immediately just for wearing cubs gear and loved the drinks and music . Nice little hangout.

There was a great live music band playing. Take the muffuletta !

The service and the food is good. I recommend the seafood platter .

Great live music outside ! Typical food that is correct but not exceptional. Good service !

Great service, even better breakfast plus awesome jazz music ! A pleasant surprise indeed!

Food and drinks. Not a bad stop, but there are some more decent stops throughout the quarter

One of the best places to try local food. Extra points for the Jambalaya !

The food and service is amazing! Loves it! Especially the shrimp and oyster po boy

The perfect spot to stop, eat a great food and listen to good music

ask for Troy and tell her the Florida newlyweds sent ya! If its a slow day, ask her to tell you the story of the orange and pink wedding broom :)

Gumbo was great. Waiter was very polite and fast. Definitely would go back.

Stop for an early lunch and had delicious gumbo & a muffuletta that was awesome! Plus there was a great jazz band performing !

Great service-- must sit outside for best ambiance! Breakfast buffet reasonable and decent.

Crawfish etouffee great!

Great atmosphere. Great music . Great food!

Best jazz music in the whole market

Gumbo is fine. Once you order, you must wait an eternity:( No jazz band either...

The Muffalata is to die for! I eat here every time I'm in town !

Best service I have had since I arrived in New Orleans 4 days ago...the jambalaya is excellent.

Live Jazz music is amazing!!!!!

Soooo goooood! Shrimp and Oyster po'boy is off the chain!

Sit on the side of the building - along the edge if N Peter. It acts like a wind tunnel , and the breeze is fantastic.

Great service, really good gumbo and po boy , and jazz .

great place to enjoy live music and grab a quick bite

Decent breakfast buffet , and great Bloody Mary , also some nice easy jazz

Dogs are allowed but you must sit on either side of the street.

Everything

The jambalaya is great. Nice spice to it.

The charbroiled oysters with goat cheese is fantastic!

Try the Bloody Mary with Absolute Papaya

Came here twice and it was a disappointing experience. First time, waitress was nice but forgot about us for about 45 minutes. Breakfast buffet was okay, I could have gone to ihop for the same food.
