The food was exceptional. The crawfish étouffée was rich and flavorful, the fried whiting was perfectly seasoned, and the mac & cheese, collards, and yams were absolutely to die for. Every dish tasted homemade and full of love. Kerisha's hospitality, paired with such incredible food, made this visit unforgettable. I'll definitely be returning and recommending Orleans Bistro to friends and family.

This was our first time dining at Orleans Bistro. The food was excellent. My wife had the…read moresteamed, spiced shrimp with the steamed cabbage as a side, and she said they were excellent. I had the fried chicken. I'm sure I've had better fried chicken at some point in my life, but I really couldn't peg exactly when. It was divine. The mashed potatoes with gravy were very good, too, as were the hush puppies. The beignets for dessert were SO good. They beat Cafe du Monde hands down in my book. Xavier was our server, and he was excellent. Very friendly, very helpful. The only knock I had was the music. They had a live saxophone player there for brunch. He was a VERY good saxophone player, but EXTREMELY loud, especially for such a small space. We couldn't hear ourselves think, let alone talk. The server couldn't hear us either. Our son has sensory issues, and if he'd been there, we would have had to leave because he would have been freaking out. If we had been there for the Saturday night jazz club scene, it would have been fine, but for Sunday morning brunch with the family, it was more than a little excessive. When I went to the bathroom, I thought, "now this is the volume the music should be out there." The music is the only reason I'm knocking it down to 4 stars. If he had been playing at like 1/3 the volume, or outside on the curb, it would have been perfect. I love good music, but it was just way too loud for that tiny space on a Sunday morning.

I had the hand grenade and it tasted like New Orleans. Could've been a little stronger. The ambiance of the restaurant is small but comfortable. The bar was inviting. Each dish was full of flavor. My Dad demolished the potatoes and greens. The crawfish was tender and my brother thought the grits were thick enough to be perfect. I would recommend this to anyone in the area! Wasn't cafe du monde beignets, more like donuts. Same with the frosted banana bread pudding dessert- not authentic but good and sweet. Very limited parking; however there is a parking lot two blocks away. Also, steer clear of first Fridays (per the waitress) it gets really crowded and they shut down the street.

The Family boil came with 4 pounds of shellfish - 1lbs of snow crab, 1lbs of dungeness, and 1lbs of both shrimp and crawfish. The great thing here was you could mix and match - since we weren't huge fans of crawfish we could get more shrimp instead. All the seafood was fresh, with meat that was plump and sweet. The seasoning was flavorful with heat and Cajun spices. And there was ample butter. The boil came in at $80 which felt more than reasonable. The service was on point, with helpful waitstaff that were able to guide us through decision making. And the interior had a nautical theme that fit with the menu without being overly tacky. I'm excited to come back with a larger group to eat more delicious seafood.

Because I've not found real Louisiana boudin anywhere else in the DC area, and because of the family's hospitality, I will give them 4 stars. The Jambalaya Shack is a catering business that was present at this past weekend's Breaux Vineyards Cajun Festival. They're from southern Louisiana, and seem to get invited to cater many of their events. They had jambalaya, corn maque choux, and boudin links. Because I was waiting on live boiled crawfish from another vendor, I decided to just share a link of boudin for $5. Their young boy said after I ordered, "Sure! You have to ring the boudin bell!" So I did, while his mother laughed and wrapped up a link for me. She made sure I knew how to eat it (I did), and I asked her if it was spicy or not (she said not at all...probably due to the DC clientele...but that they were good and that they shipped them straight from Louisiana). They also had an assortment of mild Cajun seasonings and hot sauces. It was not the best boudin I've ever had (that one goes to the Boudin King in Louisiana), but it was slightly better than the boudin I can get at the grocery store in Texas (but bigger). The Jambalaya Shack's also had good amounts of little liver pieces in it. I wish I had had hotter seasonings (cayenne chile powder would have been awesome) to spice it up with... I wish I had also tried their namesake jambalaya, but it was the chicken/sausage variety and other than the boudin, I was in the mood for seafood. I do think I was the only person I saw at the festival that tried the boudin (or probably knew what it was). Speaking of seafood, the other caterer's boiled crawfish was bland, and Jambalaya Shack was nice enough to let us have some of their seasonings. They saved the day.

It is one of the more affordable seafood spots around with their buy 5 lb get 1 lb free special and if you're ordering around the holidays the specials may even be better. We usually do that deal and order mainly crawfish but all of their seafood and fresh and made to order. There are seafood boil spots around the area with more "unique" sauce options but their spot is simple and very family friendly AND within budget. The staff are very friendly here and we always get great service.

Some were a bit too salty so I needed to dilute it a bit. Worker was friendly and attentive. For one, after tip it came out to around $56 for 1lb crawfish, 1lb blue crab, and 1 lobster tail (plus a soft drink). It's located in a plaza so plenty of parking.

Let me begin by stating that if you're seeking an authentic New Orleans experience, this might not…read morebe what you're looking for. However, if you're in the mood for a more upscale New Orleans experience, I highly recommend coming here. The service was excellent. Everyone was extremely helpful and made sure we were attended to all times. I really appreciated how beautifully decorated the space was, it really gave a "New Orleans vibe". They also have a ton of patio seating along with indoor seating upstairs and downstairs and a full bar that allows for at least 10 guest of more. I also appreciated the small touches of things added that add to the "new Orleans" feel. This is a place that I would highly recommend for brunch, they also have live jazz on Sundays(another good excuse to come) The smoked chicken gumbo was amazing! The rue tasted like it had been cooking for hours and the grits were creamy and cooked perfectly. The bread service is also a MUST try, those biscuits were heaven! There was a small amount of butter and honey that they put in the middle and it pairs so well with all of the items. Another honorable mention was the banana bread, it was so light yet moist and there was a small amount of powdered sugar dusted along the top which was also great. Overall, this place has a 5 star across the board for the service, food & atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the DC area!
