    Stopped by for a quick lunch and i wanted something good so I decided to try this place out for the first time. Inside was clean and had a good bit of room with dine in tables. The service was friendly and helped with the questions i had about what i should get. I decided on the Mac, a regular fried chicken sandwich with a secret sauce. The chicken sandwich was HUGE i had to split with a friend. It was fried perfectly and was nice and crispy i really enjoyed my meal and the fries were perfect i just wish the sandwich had a little bit more spice but ill try the hot chicken sandwich next time for that extra spice

    It was my first time going to Bonafried brick & mortar. I'm familiar with them from their food truck. I typically will catch them most times during Mardi Gras. The menu at the restaurant is primarily the same as a truck. I had the hot chicken sandwich with garlic chili oil. It definitely had ticked to it, I couldn't really taste the garlic tho. Still was pretty good. The fries just was a little salty for my likings. Customer service is always good! They even featured a lent seafood platter.

    I went in on a Saturday night before their official big big opening and they are SO GREAT. I had their food in food truck form but this was just as affordable and tasty. The former laundromat location is really cute, there is a good selection of types of chicken sandwiches on the menu. I had the Southern - seasoned honey drizzle style. My husband had (and loved) the Hot - spicy garlic chili oil. Both very good, arrived to the table with crispy hand cut style fries, all piping hot. The owner came around and checked on us and generally was a delight to chat with. I am so excited for them to get lots of Jazz Fest foot traffic and attention.

    Loved coming in and sitting at the stool at the counter for lunch. The sandwich is a BIG portion of chicken and so tasty! I got the Special and it was perfectly sweet and spicy. Food was hot and fresh. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. We were laughing and talking all through lunch! From the little handmade pickles hanging from the window to the restored original tiles from the old laundromat, every detail is special. This place feels like a warm slice of community that fills your heart and your belly.

    Best ever. After 65 years, I've had the best fried chicken sandwich of my life. On the street, sitting at the curb, around the back of the racetrack/ fairgrounds after a day of Jazz Fest. Incredibly delicious.

    Life changing chicken sandwich!

    Holy Moly! As a born and bred South Georgia girl ( not really a girl anymore, lol) I know chicken. Or I thought I did. So when I say that this is without a doubt the best dang chicken sandwich on the planet, you can take that info to the BANK! My daughter Anna insisted we go there first thing as we attended the New Orleans Fried Chicken Festival and although we had some great dishes, this was just spectacular! Now have I ever called a chicken sandwich spectacular? Not once and I have had some really good ones in my lifetime. I just know when I win the lottery ( and I am lucky!) these will be the first folks I invest in. So if you want your tastebuds to be dancing all day, just go. I'm not normally this excited about something, but they have it going on!

In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus.

Came with rice, plantains and greens. The chicken was on the bone and there were lots of little pieces to pick through. I didn't mind but some may. I came because a friend told me about the snowball truck that has dairy free condensed milk! She mistakenly told me he had a nectar flavor so I had my heart set on that. I ended up with an ice cream flavor with dairy free condensed milk. The condensed milk was delicious! The syrup wasn't as sweet and flavorful as I like my snowballs to be. I would definitely go back to try a different flavor. He makes all of his syrups with natural ingredients and said he may try to figure out a nectar flavor. My biggest complaint and the reason for the less than stellar review was the garbage smell that permeated the area. I tried relocating to three different tables to escape it. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. My best guess is a hidden dumpster somewhere. It was awful and hard for me to enjoy my food when there was a smell of garbage. Lots of space to sit, bathrooms and a bar area for drinks. There was also a live band playing music. It was a nice touch.

I was really looking forward to trying this place but unfortunately the menu was so limited. No jerk boudin balls, no crawfish Etoufee, fried fish, no oxtails, no Mac and cheese, only 1 order of Brussels sprouts. Still decided to try what they had available. We were told that there would be a 45 min wait for Mac and cheese. Waited over an hour and a half on food and still no Mac and cheese. Service to and from the table was extremely slow! Brussels sprouts came out over cooked. Mushrooms were great! Cooked well still had texture and moisture. Delicious. Jerk chicken was okay. Nothing special really with the flavoring, was cooked well though. Plantains were really good and cooked well. Coco curry shrimp was bussin! Great flavoring and this shrimp was fried to perfection. Pretty spicy but that wasn't a problem for me. Best dish I tasted from the establishment. Lamb chops were good. They were small I think for the price honestly. But no complains about them. The service is what would keep me from coming back here. For it not to be packed I felt like they were way too slow. We spent 2 hours just sitting there waiting. As far as the ambiance is concerned it's NOLA don't expect white table cloth dining at a local spot.
