I'm so confused about the reviews. Bourrée is... awesome. To enter, you step inside an enchanted courtyard with industrial wire spools repurposed as smart outdoor tables. There is both covered and exposed seating, however all of the seating is beneath the canopy of an elder oak tree. The landscaping is carefully homegrown with beautiful greenery and pretty flowering shrubs to greet you upon arrival. There's also a stage where you can enjoy live music. Once inside, you're greeted by welcoming staff who are proud of what they serve. The interior is modest, with nice rustic carpentry. Bourrée is to Boucherie as Cochon Butcher is to Cochon. It's a wing and daiquiri spot, but the wings are natural (read: smaller than the hormonal wings we're used to) and the daiquiris are dry, just the way I like them. Mr. Tea is my favorite of their daiquiris because sugar isn't the first thing I taste, instead I'm actually getting that antioxidental brewed tea flavor. Never thought I'd want that from a daiquiri, but as it turns out, I do. Their fries are some of my favorite in the city: shoestringy with crispy ends, the skin still on, salty, and plentiful. We also love their version of fried Brussels sprouts which taste of maple-citrus with bites of Tasso mixed in for good measure. My only gripe was with the jerk wings which didn't taste of jerk, just spicy. And if I'm being honest, the wings aren't the best of what they offer. They make everything in house with quality standards as high as Boucherie.

My receipt for my meal.

I paid for a meal at Bourree and then posted this review but somehow Yelp keeps flagging and deleting my review even though I have attached a photo of my receipt proving that I'm reviewing an experience I paid for. This is also not to mention that I have been eating the food at Bourree for decades and I have a far longer experience in the area than Yelp has been in existence. Perhaps someone with actual reading comprehension can look at this review without deleting it AGAIN. Bourree Cajun Smokehouse is an expansion of Chef Nathanial Zimet's Boucherie Restaurant which is right at the end of the block and around the corner. The building that Bourree is currently in was an Italian restaurant for a long time that opened back in the 90's called Café Nino that was run by the owner Chef Nino who was a fantastic fellow. Café Nino was a cash only dive joint where you selected from the daily entrees on display in a cafeteria style buffet and they also had pizza. So I always have a hard time adjusting to the fact that this spot is no longer Café Nino but is now Bourree. Now I have been eating the 12 Hour Roast Beef Po'Boy with horseradish cream & pickled red onion from Chef Zimet ever since he started selling it out of his purple food truck and at many of the local festivals. These days the only festival where they still sell their food is at the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival. So if you find yourself in the mood for a fantastic 12 hour roast beef po boy on Dong Phong banh mi bread this is the spot to get it! They also have some nice daquirie and beer options here. They also offer live music at certain times of the week so make sure to check their schedule for that. There are tables inside but they don't have a lot of space inside and the majority of their seating is located in front on their wonderful outdoor patio area. The menu is a bit concise here but they do have some nice items on offer here. This is also a great venue for events and I recently attended a nice one here. Overall this is a nice spot located in a beautiful area of the Riverbend right off St. Charles Avenue and is certainly worth checking out!

Beef Fat Fries. Great seasoning.

So I wanted to like it. I ignored the recent 1 star reviews because I wanted a roast beef poboy. Unfortunately they were accurate. It seems like they keep the roast beef soaking in the horseradish sauce. The beef tallow fries earned them a second star. Whatever they used to do with the food to get 5 star reviews, they need to go back to that. The service was good, but the restaurant could use a good cleaning.

Bourée is a quaint little smokehouse tucked away inside a gated garden. The atmosphere is fantastic, particularly on days pretty enough to take advantage of the large amount of outdoor space. I want to counter some reviews I see calling the place dirty. I've never seen it dirty. This is New Orleans. The building is old. Old does not mean dirty. It's a smokehouse that will remind you of a New Orleans dive bar inside. The daiquiris are not traditional, but they are good. They aren't 50% simple syrup and 50% liquor like New Orleans Original. The tea based daiquiri does taste like tea. If you're looking to get messed up before going out, it probably isn't for you. If you want a classy tasty take on a daiquiri, you won't be disappointed. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, and orders come out quickly.

Cute little spot!!! They have amazing meat pies served with a side of crema!!! So amazing. One guy working when we visited so by the time we left he was swamped! 2 of the 3 frozen daiquiri machines weren't working, so Mr. Tea Time it was!!! All made to order stuff, so be prepared for a wait depending on what's ordered. Great stop on our trolley tour.

We went here on a Monday and arrived as it opened. One soul manned the counter and although out of quite a bit- made us a fabulous lunch. The weather was wonderful and we were able to sit outside while we ate and had a drink.

I love the outdoor space and delish daiquiris! The brussel sprouts were some of the best I've had too! Service was also great!

Really fun and relaxed barbecue place, perfect for takeout in the summer and great for picnic table dining when it's cooler. Really liked the bbq nachos and the barbecue pork sandwich. Nicely smoked meat, sauce that complements the meat. Decent selection of brews. You order up front and the food is delivered to your table. Casual and laid-back vibe.

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

Everything we ordered was delicious, and honestly, the food is the main reason I would consider giving Bon Ton another try. I also want to give credit to the host who greeted us. She was extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely tried her best to accommodate my party. The bad: The issue was management. I had a party of 13, and I understood that the restaurant could only seat 10 people at one table. I was told the other 3 guests would be seated at a separate table, and I was completely okay with that arrangement. However, Travis, the front manager, canceled the reservation for my 3 additional guests, so they were never seated. The host was trying her best to help us, but Travis was not very accommodating and made the situation much more difficult than it needed to be. I also asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to understand what happened with the table for my 3 guests. Tre was told that I wanted to speak with him, but he didn't come over when he finished with the table behind me. Instead, he went into the kitchen, came back out, and spoke with my friend instead of me. When he eventually spoke with me, I asked if he was the manager, and he told me no. He also gave me a different name. What makes this even more disappointing is that I wasn't approaching him to complain. I simply wanted to ask about the seating situation and find a solution for my guests. The interaction with management was unnecessary and took away from what should have been a special birthday dinner. I will say again that the food was good enough that I am willing to give Bon Ton another try. Hopefully, next time the service and management experience will match the quality of the food. Shoutout to the host for being kind and trying her best--you could tell she genuinely cared about helping us.

I could smell the chicken a block away. I increased my pace so I could more quickly make it to this…read morebucket-list restaurant, especially since I love fried chicken. There were a few pleasant surprises that I experienced. First, I don't know why, but I expected a hole-in-the-wall establishment. But it was a beautifully updated restaurant with a nice square bar in the center. It's light and bright with a lot of space. I was greeted warmly and sat quickly at the bar. Note, that reservations are required to sit at a table. Walk-up guests must sit at the bar. I was alone so I normally sit at the bar anyway. I was pleasantly welcomed by Nicole who immediately asked if I wanted water or any other drink to start. I got sweet tea since it's my favorite nonalcoholic drink. I ordered the 1/4 chicken dark meat with a side of macaroni & cheese and a piece of cornbread. 2nd surprise. The chicken is spicy, which I forgot from all the shows I've watched about the chicken here. It's just enough to give it a little heat and added flavor. The batter is light and crispy with a hint of buttermilk. The meat is super juicy and delicious. 3rd surprise. I didn't know I would love the Mac and cheese so much. It was more savory than cheesy, which made it stand out above others I've had. The cornbread muffin was a great tie-in with its slightly sweet honey flavor. Savory and sweet. Tender and crunchy. It covered all of the requirements for a perfectly balanced meal. The service was excellent with that perfect Southern touch of sweetness and hospitality. I highly recommend visiting when in New Orleans.

We ordered the fried chicken biscuits, and two major things were wrong. One biscuit was half cooked and inedible, and the other had an actual chicken wing inside...my fiance bit right into bones! The only redeeming part was the hot honey. We also tried the 1/4 fried chicken (white meat only, no mixing), which was overcooked, dry, and borderline burnt. The mac and cheese was just as dry and clearly sitting under a warmer for a while and the drinks were totally forgettable. The service was just as bad. Our bartender, which was also our server server, didn't check on us a single time. When taking our order, she rudely told my fiance to speak up, yet miraculously repeated the whole order back without us having to say it again. She had no problem being friendly to the other tables around us, though. Management also needs to check bar hygiene: I watched her make drinks back to back while doing other tasks without washing her hands once, and she even handed me a damp napkin that smelled like musty mildew. All hype, zero substance.
