    Meatloaf entree
    Amira I.

    We tried this place for the first time during dinner and were pleasantly surprised with everything. The inside has a nice ambiance and we were seated right away. Our server was attentive and gave good recommendations. We tried their boom boom shrimp appetizer, a couple of old fashioned drinks, and ordered their meatloaf entree and redfish and shrimp entree. Both come with ample vegetables and Cajun mashed potatoes. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. The vegetables were nicely seasoned and the shrimp and fish were great too. We weren't going to have dessert but our server recommended their Beignets with dipping sauces so we decided to try it. They were so good! Overall our experience was amazing and I would come back to try other things on the menu. See photos below.

    I don't give out 1 star reviews lightly. Immediately after being seated, our server came to the table and said to me while pointing to my boyfriend, "Is he bothering you?"- an attempt at being funny I guess, didn't land well. There is no cocktail menu, we asked if they make espresso martinis, she said absolutely. What came was chocolate milk in a martini glass. I took one sip and had no interest in drinking it. She never asked how it was, seemingly never noticed the full cocktail that sat the rest of the meal. My boyfriend ordered the grouper entree and, because I wasn't very hungry and had read positive reviews, I ordered the flight of deviled eggs. Grouper entree was a large piece of grouper, covered with melted cheese over veggies and dirty rice. He said it was okay. I tried a bite- I would rate it 5/10. Nothing special. Deviled eggs: four "different" eggs that were all exactly the same just with a different topping. The Cajun seasoned one lacked any actual flavor, one had a large stale pork rind type thing stuck in it, one was a fried blob that tasted old, and the texture of the yolk mixture was weirdly pasty and had zero flavor. The eggs tasted old. These were horrible. I honestly do not know how anyone has recommended these- it's either a VERY off batch or people have never had actual good deviled eggs. Our server did not ever ask how the food was. When we were waiting for the bill, she came over and said "I'm sorry I've neglected you, that's unlike me." But then never asked if I needed anything, never refilled water, didn't ask how food was- just said that and walked away! Overall, the restaurant has a cute look to it, but the service and food were so bad I would never recommend it to anyone. As we paid and went to leave she said "please come back!" And we responded "nope" and she had already turned to leave the table but definitely heard us, turned around, but then kept walking. Note to server- maybe ask the customer how their food is...or if they leave an entire full drink- maybe ask if there was something wrong. Do yourself favor- try one of the many other amazing restaurants in PCB. Skip this one.

    Amazing desserts

    The ambience was amazing very cozy, fantastic service, very welcoming and friendly. You can tell they use clean ingredients the food & drinks are top notch. We had the chicken fried chicken and the Cajun pasta. Both were phenomenal.

    Shrimp & grits
    Barbara L.

    Food was above amazing exceptional!! My husband said the smoked old fashioned was one of the best he has ever had... I had the martini-I highly suggest it. The live saxophonist set the atmosphere as if we were on Bourbon Street without all the crazy that goes with it.

    Shrimp Etoufee
    Sonia T.

    Keep in mind you are not in New Orleans! Attractive interior Nice New Orleans ambiance and large bar. The food we ordered was ok, not great. We started with deviled eggs Cajun style, the toppings were bay shrimp, bits of chicken, andouille sausage and crawfish(pre cooked and a bit rubbery). My husband ordered the shrimp etouffee served with rice and a roll. Not the roux he's had in New Orleans and a bit more tomatoey. The shrimp and grits were also good but different than any shrimp and grits I've ever eaten. The grits were a large patty and deep fried and tasty, and it was served on top of etouffee sauce with the shrimp, the etouffee had a little kick so keep that in mind. They also added a tasty roll on top. We ate there on a Monday and so there weren't many people there. The wait staff was attentive. We heard the beignets were great but we were too full to try them.

    Fried Green Tomatoes with Crawfish
    Vivi B.

    We went Sunday for a drink and app to check it out. Bartender was very nice and service was fantastic. We split fried green tomato appetizer which was a great portion and delicious. You feel like you're in Nola as soon as you walk in. Dark, cozy and sleek vibe. Can't wait to try more items on the menu it all sounded fantastic

    Ceasar salad was 10/10
    Jeffrey V.

    The food was good but doesn't feel cook to order. Great ambience and vibe with the New Orleans theme. The meat loaf was a bit dry and the jambalaya was a bit of a let down but the drinks were spot on. My server was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu.

    Seared Redfish and shrimp over mashed potatoes and vegetable medley.
    Ronald S.

    We are locals and eat out often. Just tried The Big Easy for the first time. It was outstanding! Great vibe, ambiance, decor and service. We had apps of the Cajun Deviled Eggs and Boom Boom shrimp; entrees were the redfish and shrimp, and crawfish étouffée. Desert was the bread pudding and it was delectable. Rhianna was our server and did an amazing job. Timing was perfect and she was extremely professional and friendly. We will definitely go back. Prices were 20-30% less than expected and I wouldn't have blinked if it had cost that much more.

    One year later, and it's still incredibly good. Big Easy is by far the best food I've had in the PCB area so far.

We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sunset. When they brought the oysters, I wasn't expecting them to be as fresh and flavorful as the we're. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what the serve and I would definitely recommend coming to try this place. Next time I'm back in town, I'll be back for sure!!!

    After a long day, we were looking for something that was going to be delicious and not fried. I was…read morelooking on Yelp and I decided to try this place. Boy, they didn't disappoint and were on it in all phases tonight. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a cheerful staff. They asked where we wanted to sit and then one of the hostesses took us to our seats. From there Bri took over!!! She was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. She told us about the specials and also items she recommended. We had the calamari to start. It was light, crispy and paired great with the two dipping sauces that accompanied it. Then we had the dinner special which was the blackened redfish in a delicious tomato sauce and the Parmesan flounder. We also had the mashed potatoes, red beans and rice and hushpuppies. Everything was delicious! The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauces on both dishes were amazing. The red beans and rice were way better than anything in New Orleans. It was flavorful and had plenty of sausage to put everything together. The mashed potatoes were very good also. If I had to say something needed a little help, I would say add just a little butter to those potatoes and they will be even better. We had dessert to go and I had the dream pie. I can't say enough about this pie. Bri told me I would love it and she was correct. It is definitely a must on my next visit. It was savory and creamy at the same time. If you're in the area, please put this restaurant on your list. You won't be disappointed. Ask for Bri!! She is amazing and also the young ladies at the front were the best group of hostesses that I've seen in a long time. Oh, the live music and as also great.
