I had a craving for beignets and Cafe Bourbon St was recommended, and I'm so glad I tried it! This is a former food truck now in a permanent location I believe, and the food is made fresh to order! I arrived a little but before opening, and there were 2 other people waiting. The parking lot is quite big (and free!). This location at least is card only, no cash accepted. After placing my order, I waited ~20 minutes for the food to come out. I believe they ordinarily text you when your order is ready, but I never received a text but the worker came and handed me my food directly, which was very nice. The seating area is also very nice, and on a warmer day I'm sure would be a great place to sit. The shrimp was delicious, and the fries were well seasoned, on the soft side. My favorite part was the pecan praline beignets. They're a great texture, very light and not to sweet, with the praline sauce providing a great addition!
Visited Atlanta this passed weekend and I've been following this spot for a while and loved their content and decided to give them a try. Its ordered the jambalaya egg rolls and the 8 piece bourbon st wings and when I made it back to the Airbnb ready to eat I was disappointed!! For one my wings were still RAW and the egg rolls seemed like they were sitting out all day. I reached out via insta and was told that the crew at that particular location is a new staff and still in training and they will let them know an that I can go back the next day for a free 8 piece but at that point I just wanted a refund because I was just disgusted. I was told that I could get a refund but nothing happened. I tried supporting not just a black owed business but since the business owners are from my city I thought I'd support my ppl but try them out at your own risk.
This food truck in ATL is delicious. You'll find it in a food truck park at this address. Cafe Bourbon ALWAYS has the longest line. I'd recommend downloading their app and ordering ahead. When you get there just tell them your name and they'll make your food. It's like skipping the line. The food is great. If it's Sunday, I highly recommend getting the chicken and beignets. Otherwise, any of the wing meals are great. I love upgrading to the bourbon ranch fries for $1. Come early if you want to eat here. And enjoy the other food trucks around while you're there!
Being from Louisiana I was SUPER excited to find a piece of home in Atlanta. I went in with zero expectations and honestly I was surprised. The flavors of the food was amazing and were unique, I must admit. Truthfully the service, the entire set up, the music.. everything was nice! I'm not really sure what they are doing with that space but I definitely see potential for that place to offer a lot more in the future! My only downfall about this place is that my wings were cooked just a little bit to hard. I felt as if they were cooked really fast causing them to burn rather than to cook because the inside of my meat was a little pink. Unfortunately I had to throw the rest of my food away but on a positive note I was perfectly fine the next day. But after reading other reviews and seeing other photos I definitely want to try the chicken and beignets disregarding my previous experience with their chicken just to give them one more shot.
My girlfriend that lives in Georgia was taking me to the airport to pick up a relative who was flying in to hang with us for the weekend and we had some time to kill before her flight landed so we opted to grab a bit to eat. The plan was to go to a breakfast spot near the airport but the wait was close to two hours long so she told me about Cafe Bourbon St. She told me about how she tried their food previously based on their Instagram posts but because she lives close to an hour away, she tried the food when it was reheated and it just wasn't the same. Cafe Bourbon St is only opened on Fridays and Sundays from 1-6pm so on a Friday we arrived at 12:58pm and it was already a line coming outside of the area along the street. I just knew the food was going to be delicious. My family was due in at 1:55pm so I figured we had time to wait and get over to the cellphone lot before her plan landed but I was wrong. After waiting in line for 48 minutes to place an order I was committed. After placing my order I waited another 15 or so before my name was called to get my order. Thankfully it took my family some time to disembark the flight and get their bags from baggage claim so we had time to get to the cellphone lot and try the food. I will start off by saying the food was well worth the wait. I ordered the jambalaya egg rolls and Bourbon Shrimp Basket with Bourbon Fries and everything was very flavorful, filling, and with the money. I had enough to share with my family when they got in the car and their response was "this is a great way to be welcomed to Georgia"; "delicious food and personal pick up". I look forward to going back and trying something else on the menu. I definitely recommend this eatery.
You are seriously missing out if you have not consumed the magical goodness from this establishment. We got there at noon, and they open at 1pm. I rather be first in line then have to watch everyone leave with food while I'm still waiting. Also, they only have chicken and beignets on Sundays so I wanted to make sure I got to get some before they ran out. Everyone in line was very friendly. It definitely made the time go by fast. The owners are extremely nice and the customer service is top notch. Ok, the food!!! I ordered the bourbon shrimp and fries, the chicken and beignets. Let me pause because my mouth is watering from thinking about it. The fries are flavorful and have just a hint of cajun spice. The shrimp is seasoned to the gods and then they put this sauce on it that takes you to New Orleans as soon as you take a bite. The chicken is fried to perfection and the beignets are so authentically good. I will definitely be back. If you are behind me, you may get mad because I may order $2000 worth of food so you would not get any!!
Ever had something so good it almost brought tears to your eyes??? Well, that was my experience during a recent trip to Cafe Bourbon St. They're a food truck that serves New Orleans cuisine in Triton Yards on the west side of Atlanta. For now, they're only open on Friday's and Sunday's 1pm-6:30pm or until they sell out. Trust me, you definitely want to arrive early. A line formed around 12. (A whole hour before opening). I was the 10th person in line and didn't place my order until 1:15pm. I really had to practice patience! It was so hot outside and the food is cooked to order, so I had to wait again. We ordered the bourbon st. Shrimp basket with upgraded fries, jambalaya egg rolls and chicken & beignets. The flavors from the shrimp basket were explosive! Seriously, there's so much flavor going on from the bourbon sauce, seasoned fries and ranch. I wasn't sure what to expect from the jambalaya egg rolls, but they were delicious. My son said that his chicken and beignets were awesome. By the way, the chicken & beignets are only served on Sunday. I'm dreading having to wait in the line again, but I'm looking forward to returning. The staff was friendly and w
Cafe Bourbon street is one of the best food trucks in town! I will definitely say order ahead because the line can get very long. Just make sure you check in on arriving. Parking on the side street or lot is best options. The food is worth any wait though and you can't go wrong with adding dollar for bourbon ranch fries. If jambalaya egg rolls are in stock make sure to get them trust me! Also their bourbon wing basket is a very solid choice and a go to when I can't decide. Be prepared to not want to share!
Get there early! This food is worth it. My friends and I waited in line an hour and a half ( we were in the first 10 people there). I have heard so many good things about thhis place and they kept popping up on my Instagram so it was meant for me to go. They are only open on Fridays and Sundays. And Sunday is the only day you can get the chicken and beignets. So good. The beignets were a littLe more dense then I thought they would be but still good. Get the chicken and beignets if for nothing else other than too get the pecan praline sauce. The jambalaya egg rolls and the shrimp basket Try this place asap!!
I love to support local businesses and this particular vendor I discovered through IG. A few tips to assist patrons on a smooth and easy ordering experience are below. 1.) Download the Cafe Bourbon St. App 2.) Place your order on said App 3.) Check in with the host upon arrival Keep in mind this is a food truck and the food is cooked to order. Expect your wait time to be at least 30 mins, but faster if you order on the app. There is ample parking and a food truck park with lots of seating so that you and your party can sit back, relax and enjoy the sun or the shade. If you want some time to pass by quickly, order a snowball and by the time you finish that, your wait time should be half way. I wouldn't recommend visiting the food truck if you're in a hurry because again there is a wait. The only suggestion I'd make to the the owners and host would to provide a wait expectation for your patrons so customers know what to expect after they place their orders. Other than the wait, the food was delicious and I'll continue to support this business when I'm in the area. I ordered a Shrimp Po Boy and Cajun fries. The shrimp was well seasoned and the Cajun sauce elevated the flavor of the sandwich and fries. The owners and host were friendly and the waiting area was clean and tidy.
The food here was pretty good. There is one lady working and you get a side of rude for free. Man she was mean but I get it. It's hot and she's solo. Perhaps the new location is the better spot now but I won't be back to the food truck. That said, the food was worth a try.
I came to this establishment because I saw that the ratings on Google were four stars out of five. As I pulled up I received great customer service and I was able to submit my order via iPad. I waited for my food for about 20 to 30 minutes. When I received my food, it looked best appealing , but it was disgusting. I had spent $55 and every single thing I ordered was horrible. The chicken wings were huge and the bourbon sauce tasted like regular barbecue sauce with a Touch Of honey. I didn't know if the wings were smoked or if they were supposed to be fried. The fries that came with my wings were soggy. It tasted more like the fries were baked. I also ordered the loaded fries. It was also terrible and was soaked in barbecue sauce or bourbon sauce. I am not sure. I also ordered the shrimp Po Boy. The shrimp had flavor, but the coding of the shrimp was soggy. The batter did not stick to the shrimp. That costed about $14 and it did not come with fries. It was definitely not worth $14. However, I did like that they used nice sized shrimp and they used enough shrimp to cover the bun. It may have been worth the $14 if it came with a side. I also ordered the original beignets and the cream cheese beignets. The dough was very thick and hard. It was so much dough. It lacked any flavor and there was no sweetness to the beignets. It should be hot and melt in your mouth. Definitely not worth the price. I mean, you only get 3. It was disgusting and I hate to say I literally spit it out. I would also like to add that everything I ordered wasn't hot. For me to have waited 30 minutes for my food, nothing was hot. I received all of my food and Styrofoam containers. Which means there should have been some type of heat damage to my Styrofoam containers. It was a disaster. I was upset and hated that I wasted my time and my money coming to this food truck. I'll never go back. Even with the points I earned. There was nothing New Orleans about it. Come to think of it. When you pull up to a food truck, you usually spell food cooking. I actually didn't notice any fragrance of food in the air. Maybe it was am off day for the cook. Nevertheless , I wouldn't recommend this place.
This place is such a great food truck! The lines are always long no matter the time of day, but it is worth the wait. The menu consist of New Orleans Bourbon style food. Customer service is great and the people are friendly. Below are items from there menu: 1. Shrimp Po Boy 2. Jambalaya Egg Rolls 3. Bourbon Street Basket 4. Cajun Shrimp Basket 5. Bourbon Street Wings 6. Cajun Street Wings 7. Chicken & Beignets (Sunday's Only) 8. Praline Beignets (Sunday's Only) 9. Original beignets

Hi Lashun, thank you for your feedback. We just followed up with the…
It hurts me so bad to be writing this but I am highly disappointed! The hype and pictures have had me salivating for months. This truck is only available 2 days a week so it has been kinda difficult to schedule time to visit. My sister and I have been determined so we drove an hour on a Sunday so elated to finally be giving it a try. We waited in line for about an hour and Ordered about $100 worth of food each. We got the bourbon wings, cajun wings, bourbon fries, shrimp po boy, jambalaya egg rolls, and beignets. EVERYTHING was subpar! The wings were undercooked, and everything else was EXTREMELY salty!!!! Like inedibly salty! I was so disappointed and hungry! They put a bunch of sauce on everything to mask the lack of flavor and taste. I was really hoping to love this place but I wont be returning. Just proves to show looks can be deceiving, and DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE! read more

I am beyond grateful that I had this experience today! The thing that stood out the most to me (aside from the amazing food which I will get to in just a few) was Markel and his dope customer service. He greeted every single person with the same energy every single time. He even gave me a fist bump (which I didn't see anyone else get HAHA). It's the small personal touches that make a customer feel like they're welcome and I felt like I was a part of the family with that one gesture. Now to the beginning. I pulled up to the spot at about 12:30 and there was already a line down the sidewalk. Whew! I had to circle around twice because I wasn't quite sure where to park but I ended up parking back behind the food truck lot. There were ample parking spaces but I did notice the lot right next to the food truck was packed! People knew to get there early. I'll know for next time. By the time I got in line it was about 12:45. I stood in the heat with the other patrons and we laughed and chatted while we waited. Although it was really warm it wasn't that bad as there was cool breeze that didn't stop. I finally got to Markel at about 1:15 or so and he asked if I had any questions (after the fist bump...just had to remind y'all lol). Luckily I had done my research already and was ready to order. I selected the Chicken & Beignets, Bourbon St. Shrimp Basket with the Bourbon St. Ranch fries ($1.00 upcharge), and the Jambalaya Egg Rolls. I figured that would be enough food lol. Markel thanked me for my order and tip and said he'd call me when my food was ready and that if I wanted to go wait in the car in the A/C and check back in about 20-30 minutes it would be cool... so I went to my car. I decided to check back after about 30 minutes and ended up waiting another 10 minutes or so before my name was called. Honestly not bad because the food was cooked fresh and was delicious! I made it home and dug in as I was pretty hungry. The egg rolls were dynamite. I love the chewy texture of the exterior and of course the ingredients inside were sooooo good! It was drizzled with a creamy Creole sauce. Amazing! The Bourbon St. Shrimp were really good as well. I loved that sauce. The fries were delicious too! Whew! The fried chicken and beignets knocked my socks off! Cool remix of the classic chicken and waffles that most people are familiar with. That also had a nice Praline Pecan sauce drizzled on top. I say the hour and fifteen minute wait (give or take) was well worth it! I am definitely going back. I recommend bringing with you a bottle of water at the least. One lady brought her lawn chair and umbrella lol...she was a regular I'm guessing. I love New Orleans and I'm so glad these guys are here in Atlanta. Black owned and operated. Definitely a family joint... and now my family because of... you guessed it, the fist bump! read more

A new New Orleans styled food truck playing the classics (beignets) and fresh takes on traditional flavors (cajun egg rolls). Maurice and Jonnessa have a hit on their hands with their recently opened mobile New Orleans themed eatery. You can find them on Friday, conveniently located on Virginia between GB Bottleshop and the Thirsty Topher. Subscribing to their email list currently scores you a free order of beignets but don't stop at dessert. We also ordered the egg rolls which had generous bites of fish mixed with a spicy sauce. The outside was crispy but not greasy with a satisfying crunch, topped with a tasty sauce. The beignets had a generous helping of powered sugar and distinctly reminded me of Cafe Du Monde's. Try not to breathe while consuming these tasty morsels if you don't want a nose full of sugar. The food truck scene on Virginia is competitive on Friday nights but Cafe Bourbon St. is an excellent pairing for your tasty beverage of choice. Also keep an eye out for them at Tasty Tuesday in the Milk District where they're looking to make an entrance. I'm always proud to see a new, passionate entrant to the Orlando food scene: Cafe Bourbon St. represents well ... give them a shot! I'm looking forward to next week when I can settle into some egg rolls at my bar of choice. read more

Food was very good. Customer service was very pleasant. They Have a sitting area for you to eat your food and sit and wait. I waited in the car with AC. food was ready in like 30 min after ordering. There's no secret you're gonna wait so don't let that be your complaint. I went on a Sunday so maybe that's why the wait was over and hour. I heard Friday's are less waiting. Anyway Dress light clothes as possible and have water and some sort of shade(umbrella, hats, etc). read more

If you can get past the wait or arrive extremely early it's worth every second. The gentleman (co-owner/husband) taking the orders was polite and uber friendly. He tried his best to keep our spirits up amongst the dreadful heat with music and laughs. We ordered the chicken and beignets, the jambalaya eggrolls and the Café Bourbon Street shrimp basket. The food was delicious and everything I expected! Sidenote, order extra sauce for the chicken and beignets! read more

I went Friday about five. The line wasn't long like usual so I thought I hit the jackpot. I ordered bourbon shrimp and upgraded fries. I also ordered bourbon eight count wings with upgraded fries. Might I say chicken wings were under cooked. Before I left I asked owner were they done he said yes we cooked them at 165 temp. I said ok. Trusted his word. His business. Under cooked chicken can give u salmonella. I reached out to him he wouldn't make my situation whole so no longer can I patronize this business. read more

Waited 20 minutes just to waste $40 dollars. The food was stale, not even lukewarm, greasy, and hard. The fries were dense. The beignets were hard and doughy. The shrimp was falling apart cold and gross. The Jambalaya egg roll was greasy and hard. I had been wanting to try this place for a while. They completely missed the mark. Could have had a repeat customer but they blew it in every way possible. read more

The food is fresh, the prices are unbeatable and the service is friendly. My Cajun shrimp po boy & beignets were the perfect combo. *update* had the chicken and beignets with the praline sauce on the side ... too good. The chicken was seasoned and fried perfectly and the beignets are as they should be! read more

If you haven't been here you are missing out!!! A family owned business and they are killing it!! You get large portions and everything is seasoned well and the food taste like authentic New Orleans food as it should as the owners are from New Orleans.
