When I want a bite and don't want to cook (rarely) and I'm in town I will stop and get a bite to eat bc I will be satisfied. It is definitely a vibe and of course the service is great. I love coming home (in town) and interacting with my people . There's nothing like my New Orleans people. As long as this place is around we will visit when we are in town.

The fried chicken was the star--served hot and fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy on the inside. Just good, classic Southern fried chicken done right. The sides were great, but the fried green tomatoes are a MUST. They were fresh, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch without being greasy. This was also my first time ever trying chess pie, and WOW! It was absolutely to die for--rich, sweet, buttery, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones you just happen to stumble upon. Great fried chicken, delicious sides, amazing chess pie, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star New Orleans stop!

The chicken sandwich seemed like it was supposed to be fried, but was greasy and tough, the bread stale and chewy, and tasted way off, like old, reused grease. The cole slaw was not vinegar sour, but spoiled sour. I've been looking forward to trying since Redbird opened on the WB but do not get the hype about this place. I threw my entire order in the garbage.

We had to bring it up to the worker, else he wouldn't have advertised that it comes with a free daiquiri. Also, didn't mention that certain sides were at additional cost. Probably wouldn't recommend.

I have to admit, I really didn't feel like cooking so the mister and I stopped by for a tray and rice. I ate here once when I moved here over 13 years ago and haven't been back since this recent visit. I even cut back on Chubbies and Popeyes and fry my own chicken at home. They are very popular with the majority of customers being of my persuasion, go figure. We are slowly killing ourselves eating this stuff all of the time but it was a long arduous day and cooking was the last thing I wanted to do. So, there's some flavor in the food but I won't spend $40 on a tray of wings again. Plus, we're trying to be more conscientious about what we consume these days, so there's that.

The place was near us in the Garden District in a busy but pleasant block. It has a funky vibe that set a fun tone to start our visit. Being a huge fan of gumbo, of course I started with a bowl. The gumbo was exceptional; a true dark roux chock-full of fresh seafood goodies. I also ordered a plate of fried catfish that came in a large portion. It too was very good. I chose a couple of glasses of a favorite Grunnner Vetliner to top off an excellent lunch. My wife had an eggplant Napoleon appetizer size that she said was plenty. She joined me in the wine and reported that her lunch was as delightful as mine. The service was very friendly and helpful.

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.

The decor and vibe is more upscale than the old place and it's bigger. The people are still friendly and welcoming.

I was able to taste the gumbo before my friend devoured it and it was good! The chicken was perfectly cooked and not greasy. I love the butter beans, I get them every time. The weak link for me were the yams because it was overly spiced with something I'm not sure if it was cloves or nutmeg but it was way too much for me.
