Red Velvet Cake
Meghan W.

Cane Patch Kitchen is an excellent Creole soul food stall in Liberty Public Market. It's one of the few original restaurants at the Public Market, and if the constant lines are anything to go by, you know the food is excellent! Located in the heart of the Market, it can be loud and crowded, but the staff is super helpful and takes the time to answer any questions. There is plenty of seating inside and outside the Market, so you can easily find a place to sit down and enjoy your food. I didn't have one of the entrees, but I did enjoy the red velvet cake. Oh. My. Goodness! It was delicious, and the portion size was HUGE! I definitely recommend trying out Cane Patch Kitchen while at Liberty Public Market! You won't be disappointed!

Red beans & rice , Mac & cheese , catfish
Thi C.

Let's start off with $70.00 for these 2 plates ! Yes $70.00 ! The Mac & cheese is okay but the cheese on Top was CRUNCHY , on BOTH plates ? the yams tasted like water & cinnamon & the catfish was SATURATED in grease it did not taste like catfish one bit, unsure what fish that was / was trying to be but it was GROSS ! The red beans and rice were flavorless . I didn't door dash it I picked it myself it was a piping hot plate ! NEVER , AGAIN! 2 stars because the customer service was good.

Shrimp Po Boy & Swamp Fries
Ali H.

Cane Patch is one of the many food options available inside Liberty Public Market. While walking around looking at dinner options, I settled on a shrimp po boy and swamp fries from cane patch. Getting both was a ton of food but both sounded so good and they were delicious! The swamp fries had so much flavor and were spicy with hot sauce drizzled on top. The po boy had lots of shrimp and great flavors as well! You could easily share both of these dishes with someone else for a good sized meal. I would order both again! It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready so place your order then look around for a spot to eat. The public market can get really busy and can be very noisy but there are lots of seating options inside or outside.

Got their Oyster Po Boy. Honestly, for almost $20 I expected more than half a sandwich. The oysters were nicely fried but thats about it. Bun was stale and the veggies could've used some salt/seasoning. It did take over 20min to get my order when we were told 5-10min so that was off putting.

I ordered a grilled shrimp po' boy with steak fries. Add an Arnold Palmer and a $3.00 tip and the bill comes to $32.16. Not cheap at all for a sandwich, fries, and a drink. First: a grilled shrimp po' boy with 6 or 7 small shrimp for $19.00 is a LOT. A $5.00 Arnold Palmer, is a LOT. I waited patiently over 20 minutes to get my food. Finally food started coming out and was set on the counter for 3 of us to watch sit there, as nobody would hand it to us... Finally the girl taking and prepping orders came to the front and handed out 4 bags that were just waiting.. I make my way to another area to find a seat wit the rest of my party waiting for me while their food got cold. I open my container and I have the wrong food. The container had french toast and bacon inside... I take the food back to the counter and now I'm not happy, but explain to the girl that this isn't my order. She looks inside the bag, then starts typing for a bit in the computer and I tell her if they have to make another, and it will take another 20 minutes, I just want my money back. I'm now less happy. IN the meantime, another customer comes up and practically throws her bag on the counter and says "we don't even want it anymore". The girl behind the counter (Lynee) hands me a receipt, grabs her phone and LEAVES. Just leaves. The cook looks amazed, comes up front and asks what happened. I told her she just left. The receipt she handed me was a refund for someone else. Not even my order, nor my credit card, The cook was great about it, apologized, and had another shrimp po boy on deck, and handed it to me in 3 minutes. The food was OK, the po boy could have been much more loaded for $19.00, but I'd rather try something else next time, and because of the service, I'll happily skip anyplace she works, forever.

Breakfast po boy

Breakfast po boy. Eggs, cheese, choice of bacon or/ and sausage, served on a soft chewy roll, topped with remoulade sauce. Sauce was nice suprise and paired well. I would like the bread toasted.

Cane Patch Kitchen is one of the few OG vendors still operating from when Liberty Public Market debuted in early 2016. Cajun/creole cuisine is the name of their game. Po'boy sandwiches and fried baskets made up the left menu screen. The right screen listed five entrees, seven sides, two desserts, and the kids' menu. I selected the first two entrees listed which were the Jambalaya and Seafood Gumbo. The addition of meat to the jambalaya costs three more dollars, but you need protein to make this item complete. Therefore, I asked for a mix of chicken and andouille sausage. About 15 minutes later, my order had been bagged and was ready for pickup. The gumbo had a mildly spicy broth with shrimp, mussels, and a crab claw included. The price was a bit higher than I had expected for the serving size. The jambalaya was a potpourri of colors from the green onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, and corn kernels mixed in with the dirty rice. For the quality and value of the food I sampled, my rating was 3.5 stars for Cane Patch Kitchen.

I loveeeeee Cane Patch! It's the only food I get when I come to Liberty Station and I come a lot and there's always SOOO many options. But this is my go to. Of all time. Sandwich is hefty and generous for the price and the quality is amazing! I love the ambiance of the inside as well. Lots of tables and seating.

3 pieces of fried catfish, baked macaroni and cheese, crispy sweet potato fries, and buttered toast.

Cane Patch Kitchen is located in Liberty Station food hall serving up some southern Louisiana classics such as po-boys, fried seafood, and the traditional southern sides. We decided to try this place to relive our past with the tasty southern cooking and it definitely lived up to the hype. As former Mississippians we were craving some fried catfish and turned to Yelp to get the answer. Cane Patch Kitchen offers a variety of different fried seafood such as oysters, shrimp, catfish, and even alligator. The side dishes to name a few are baked macaroni and cheese, collards greens, and sweet potato frys and many more on the list. We went ahead and ordered the fried catfish combo which comes with one side and you can add another side for a small fee so we also went ahead and got the sweet potatoes frys and baked macaroni and cheese. The food was beautifully presented and the portion size was amazing! We ended up getting 3 nice sizes of fish and a generous scoop of macaroni and cheese with a heaping handful of crispy sweet potatoes frys! They even threw in butter grilled toast and ranch to compliment the frys and tartar sauce for the fish. The fish was fried golden brown and seasoned well. The batter wasn't crispy crispy but a nice thin layer of crisp. The fish was very succulent and juicy packing with flavor. The frys were nice sweet and crispy and paired well with the ranch. The macaroni and cheese had a nice flair to it garnished with thinly fined chopped green onions. The food was good and service was great and made me reminisce of my good Ole Mississippi day and trips to New Orleans for fried seafood platters. Definitely have this on my list again to come back and try the swamp frys or po-boys or maybe even the fried alligator.

Chicken and waffles
Makaela P.

While strolling through Liberty Public Market, we stumbled beyond Cane Patch Kitchen. Hubby ended up ordering the chicken and waffles from them. He said that chicken was well seasoned. Waffle was decent but not a knock out of the park. It was flavored with either nutmeg or cinnamon. Large portion size.

I was starving and I had to go grocery shopping. I don't like grocery shopping if I'm hungry cause I buy to much lol I cruised over to livery station cause they have good variety of pop-ups. I walked around to see which pop-up made my stomach growl. It stopped at New Orleans pop-up, it's been a minute since I had Cajun food. They had gator & it sold me. If you ever had gator it's really good & taste like chicken ( like anything else lol ) The service on point, helpful, & friendly. The food came out fast. I'm about dive in to satisfy my stomach Come check it out !!!

If you are a big fan of Cajun cuisine like me, you always try new spots. I decided to try it and was not very impressed. The price for Gumbo in the menu was $15 so I decided to go for it. They said that for 2x the money you would get 2x Gumbo, so I decided to go for it as well. They said that the wait would be 5-10min which ended to be 18min. Kind of a long wait for hungry person. Ok, I would wait that long for good Gumbo, but only for good one. This gumbo was underwhelming, 7 shrimps swimming in the company of 5 pieces of chicken and 6 pieces of sausage. See picture for details. Not worth $30 for sure. I will not be stopping by there again.

Menu board as of July 2021

This was actually our second time getting food from Cane Patch Kitchen, but I missed writing a review after our first visit. The menu is fairly straightforward - po' boy sandwiches, entrees of protein and offerings of gumbo or jambalaya. My husband kept changing his mind on what he wanted to get, but I knew I was going to order the shrimp po' boy. The hubs ended up with the catfish po' boy. We also ordered a side of regular fries to share. We waited quite a while to get our food. It gave us time to wander the market in search of beverages, but it was still over 25 minutes before the nice young man at the counter handed us our bag (apologizing profusely for the wait). It seemed they only had one person working the kitchen that day, and that person was very far behind. The number of customers waiting for their food was crazy. At any rate, the market was packed that day, so it was impossible to find a table to sit at (and I really wanted to snap at the people that were posted up at tables with no food or drink in sight. #rude) We made our way back to our car, which was parked under a tree and offered a suggestion of shade, to eat our meal. My sandwich was full of flavor, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The bread was both crispy and chewy, in all the right ways. The sandwich itself wasn't over-dressed with sauce or vegetables, and everything melded together really well. My husband said that his catfish po' boy was the best he's had, and he's including the ones we've eaten in New Orleans. It was the same for him - the catfish nuggets were perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the flavors worked well. The fries were surprisingly sad, compared to the artistry that went into the sandwiches. A small helping of crinkle cut fries, lightly seasoned and a bit undercooked. Still, we put a hurting on the fries, though I admit I didn't eat much given the size of the sandwich itself.

Having returned from a NOLA trip where I ate crawfish étouffée, every single day, I was really…read morecraving but didn't think I'd find what I was looking for in San Diego. We came on a weeknight in January and easily found parking out front. The restaurant is more of a bungalow, and it's quiet and really pretty on the outside. There is a door on the left of the stairs that leads to a small, old timey dining room, and it's going to be weird...I'll warn you about that. When you open the door, it feels like you just walked in on someone's private dinner party. It's super quiet in there and it's just a bunch of tables. No host/hostess. You seat yourself if there's a table. A server comes in and out of the room to serve the tables. The Mac and cheese was meh, we ordered it for a toddler. The crawfish étouffée was so good, they did not skimp on crawfish. I like it a little spicier, but this was what I needed. I would definitely come back here! If it's a cold night, dress accordingly, this bungalow is not insulated and the server comes in and out, so it was freezing. Can't imagine the heat in summer, but the food is worth it.

We called ahead and made a reservation. It was a Friday afternoon. We showed up on time and were…read moreseated promptly. Had wine and beer, and also got a bread basket with (softened) butter. The picky eaters ordered Mac and cheese with andouille sausage and we got both sizes: petite and regular. You can tell it was made from scratch and it was very cheese and runny. We got the dark roux gumbo with shrimp, chicken and sausage. The flavor was on point; however I wish it was more of the holy trinity and that the sausage was cut in medallions vs pieces. Our waiter was so helpful and patient and since we paid in cash the 4% surcharge for credit cards wasn't charged. I recommend!

As for the food, I had the B combo, which was the crab, shrimp, and crawfish with the juicy sauce on medium heat. I'll have to get it more spicy next time, but I can't really complain about anything. Good texture on the shrimp and crab. I found the umami of the crawfish to be a tad underwhelming, but for this value, you can't really do much better than this. I also like that they immediately gave me a cracker, scissors, a bib, gloves, extra napkins, and bucket for trash. It should be the bare minimum, but I've seen seafood boil places either forget to give these tools often or straight up not offer them until you ask for it. I kinda like the vibe of the place also.

My second time at King Crab. Both times I got the 1/2 pound shrimp, 1/2 pound crawfish and 1/2…read morepound snow crab boil. Both times I followed my servers recommendation and went with the juicy flavoring. It's a combination of three of their popular sauces. Let me just tell you, when I'm eating the food. It's a 20 out of 10 stars situation. I'm literally licking up every little bit of that sauce. But then when I go home, my mouth starts to taste really salty and then horrible. Left me with the most disgusting breath and taste in my mouth that night and the next day. Doesn't mean it will stop me from eating there again. It's just not going to be a frequent thing. It's too damn good to not go back to.

So it just so happens that I was telling a…read morefriend about my incident, the bad food, and catty energy I received from Mr. Richard at the Taste of New Orleans festival, and she said (hol' up, let me add the disclaimer that this is NOT MY encounter, but I'm retelling a story I was told because you seem like the type to try and finagle a libel or defamation suit just because you're mad because somebody doesn't like your food) she just so happens to know Chef Boots, who used to cook for you when you had 4 C Square in Downtown San Diego back in the 90's. They said you had the Juke Joint too, allegedly. Now your Poboy shop done closed down too, so now you're stuck moonlighting as "The Gumbo Pot" at festivals that probably cost you more in booth rental than you actually made. Why is it you've have ALL of these different restaurants (allegedly) that NEVER stayed open though? Denny's ain't NEVER had to close down and reopen under different names. Anyways though, Richard T. I heard you and Chef Boots used to get into about recipes (allegedly) and y'all almost came to blows about it (allegedly). AGAIN, just hearsay, but I'm just retelling a story I was told, verbatim. Anyways, if you scroll down to the "10 reviews for Poboy Shop that are not currently recommended" section and look at the reviews, Sally T. is the daughter (the one Chef Boots' sister Eboni used to babysit in the 90's) and Nina T. is really the wife. For her to lie and say this food was "Michelin Bib Gourmand (sic) quality" is diabolical! I think maybe she was trying to say "gourmet" but regardless, she's delusional. NOTHING about that food is gourmet or Michelin. Maybe Michelin tires come to mind as you want to run the food over with your car, but this place ain't even a Michelin napkin, let alone a star. Furthermore, to have your family write reviews because you can't get enough honest reviews about your food is sad. You're one of those people who LOVE to say you HAVE a BUSINESS but ain't really DOING business. People are LITERALLY telling you where you need to improve, and instead of implementing the changes, no, you'd rather argue with people and lie about what actually happened. I was cool, polite, and respectful, and I didn't even make a scene like I could have. I ate ONE of those THREE yucky sides (jambalaya) and brought the rest of that swill back to you, and your wife gave me a $10 refund of the $20 I spent. I could've EASILY got loud and went off about how bad the food was, and disrupted your business, and drove away your customers, but I didn't. I made SURE I was respectful. As a matter-of-fact, I was so cool and quiet about it, YOU didn't even realize what happened until AFTER I had already left. To me, it just looks like you've been janky and slangin' subpar food for 30-years, and you STILL apparently don't get it. What's even sadder is to be able to get this type of feedback about you from somebody who remembers you from 30+ years ago, ESPECIALLY considering the Taste of New Orleans festival was the FIRST (and LAST by the way) time I had EVER seen you or had your gross food in my LIFE! Energy doesn't lie though.
