This is one of my favorite places in the French Quarter. I love the crawfish ettuoffee. The trick is to get here for an early to have the best experience. They have good drinks too.

Last meal in Nola :) Bloody Mary yes!Enjoyed the jambalaya , heavier on tomato . Crawfish etouffee > chicken andouille gumbo > shrimp creole , but all were solid. Great table bread and warm service ????

Kimmie Ohh

Get a cup of gumbo and split the Creole Combination Platter (shrimp creole , jambalaya and red beans & rice ). You could substitute the red beans & rice with Crawfish Etouffee for an additional $2.

Andrea Ysebert

The bread pudding is phenomenal! Been back for a third time in less than a week for it (and it's not a usual favorite so hopefully that speaks for itself ????)

Christina Squitieri

This place is amazing, and my first stop when visiting New Orleans. The chicken gumbo is perfection, and the blackened chicken po boy is delicious (and a very big portion !). A must do!

Brandi Bruce

Honestly, the gumbo was tasty but seemed to be missing that certain traditional flavor . Sometimes they have a different daily gumbo - I actually found that selection tastier than their "traditional"

James Brown

The Seafood and Okra Gumbo was great!! I also loved the Red Beans and Rice . A local recommended the place, I was very pleased.

Patrick Szmidt

The chicken gumbo and the combination platter were really good. Don't be afraid if there's a big line up, it moves pretty fast. The fresh fruit daiquiris were also delicious.

Kim Keelor-Parker

Gumbo is of course excellent but the crawfish étouffée is some of the beat in NOLA. Order a lot of side portions to try it all and ask to sit in the cozy alcove on the back side of the courtyard .

Jesse Bagels

Great food where you can really sample all kinds of Nawlins fare (gator sausage ayy) and tasty cocktails (honeydew daiquiri pictured)

Lauren Furgason

(+) The chicken gumbo was perfection! Seafood gumbo and jambalaya were great too. Start with a crab cake and end with the bread pudding !! (-) Cocktails were a little too sweet for my taste.

Eddie Yasi

The complete Créole dinner is a great deal. Everything was delicious, with highlights being the shrimp gumbo and the whiskey bread pudding . The Hurricane was a deliciously strong drink too.

Marigny9

Yes, it's a tourist stop but there's good reason--this place is the holy trinity for solid gumbo , jambalaya & etouffe. Old-school quality service and a lovely courtyard to boot.

John Beal

Don't let the long line distract you...great food. The Combo Platter was great as well as the Jambalaya . The service was a little slow and the only thing to lower the rating.

Faith

Server appeared to hate his job and life but the food was great. Had sides of the etouffee , seafood gumbo , corn , and oh my goodness that praline sundae was divine!

Leonard Crist

Chicken gumbo and blackened fish poboy were excellent. Setting is historic, but the modern/ugly bar and the drop ceiling seem out of place with the historical character of the building.

Lee Simpson

Honestly some of the best food I've ever tasted. The platter with shrimp is amazing and the bread is fantastic.

Mike Frey

The gumbo was good, but the sautéed shrimp Po Boy was amazing. The bread pudding put a nice finish on the meal.

Amanda Baker

This place is a hidden gem . No wait at all, really fast service and the food was amazing!! They bring you fresh baked bread to nibble on too. Try the crab cakes and the shrimp po boy ... Mouthwatering!

Josh Warfield

The gumbo is fantastic, we also got the Jambalaya and the red beans and rice and a shrimp po boy . Everything was delicious.

The creole combination platter and gumbo sampler was a great way to sample variety and not over eat! Ask for Brandon

Kelly Selby

THE Best gumbo in the french quarter! We came back a second time it was so yummy. Do not pass this place up!

John Broussard

The blackened catfish , gumbo , and boudin I highly recommend. The crawfish Tasso pasta is inconsistent quality depending on the cook, so don't get IMO. Not too loud , not quiet either.

Daniel Grayson

I was skeptical because, you know, tourists , but the gumbo here is genuinely fab. Try their pepper and spice blends - magnificent.

Priya Tungrus

Went here on my last day on trio #2 to NOLA. Food is ok but it is very touristy . Try Coop's further into the French Quarter for awesome Jambalaya (and other foods!)

Chung-yee Ngo

The seafood gumbo was very tasty and hearty. It was a really good no meat option.

Sadie Hawkins

Food was delicious, especially the shrimp creole and mashed potatoes and prices were good

Hannah Wilson

Seafood Okra Gumbo , Creole Combination Platter (Jambalaya , Crawfish Étouffée , Shrimp Creole )

Curt R.

Best gumbo you will have in New Orleans. Friendly and fun staff . Great location near Jackson Square. The wait is worth it.

Danielle Philippi

Had the seafood gumbo and jambalaya--granted we got it to go and ate it in the back of a cab on the way to the airport--but still delicious!

Lane Rettig

The vegan gumbo is not "new age vegan " but an old recipe. Made with collard greens I think? More like a soup . But tasty!

Carla Tanaka

Great gumbo ! The restaurant has a cute small courtyard . Try the trio jambalaya , red beans and shrimp at once.

Michael Calderone

If you are near Jackson square, you have to try this place. Unreal gumbo and jumbolya.

Jeanne Devine

The bread pudding and icing (get on the side) dissolve in your mouth like spun sugar. The bread tastes like hot cookie dough . The icing was a box of confectioners sugar in a vat of butter. Decadent!

Alyssa

Perfect place to sample New Orleans cuisine. Had the special, gator sausage , and seafood gumbo .

Gail Ledesma

Wonderful seafood gumbo , crab cakes and service. We will return. Ask for Brittany, she was friendly and answered all our questions.

Dave Sawyer

Turkey and andouille sausage gumbo is hearty & spicy—a delicious choice. But, any of their gumbo will do just fine.

Nicki Banaszak

The chicken gumbo was to die for! As well as their strawberry daiquiri 's.

Emily Cooney

Vegan/Vegetarians: Skip the Gumbo . It tastes like dishwater. Bland, flavorless, and off. However the Vegetarian Dish of the day was White Beans and it was amazing.

Supercat 27

The Creole combination platter will take your taste buds on a historical journey of French, Caribbean and Cajun.

Daniel Robinson

Heads up: the closing time on 4sq is wrong. They're really open until 10:30pm. Also, the freaking best gumbo and crawfish étouffée eveeeer!!

Pam Crum

Love it here. Came here last year and again this year and it's the food is still just as amazing.

James Hills

Got scolded for leaving a bit of gumbo in my bowl ... gave me more bread and said clean your plate before I take it! ... awesome and fun waitress !

babs o

both the vegan and vegetarian gumbo are fantastic! vegan gumbo is not on the menu so be sure to ask for it.

Hazal Yazicioglu

try jambalaya , po-boys, red beans and rice with smoked sausage(a new orleans tradition) and more.. they are delicious!

M. R.

The chicken andouille gumbo is the best in the city . Full stop.

Traci D.

Gumbo was good but not great. Not much sausage in it. Try the jambalaya and a frozen daquiri (we had strawberry & melon - one of the best drinks we've ever had!)

Marcella Joshlin

The alligator sausage is a must. I grew up in Louisiana and have only had gator fried — this is way better!

Chet Andrews

The chicken andouille gumbo is phenomenal and the bread is mouthwatering. This is a wonderful place to eat

Stephanie Chase

The complete Creole dinner is amazing -- rice & beans, gumbo , etoufée, bread pudding with whisky sauce.
