    Breakfast Sandwich

    Came into Debbie's from CA on an X games trip, food was absolutely amazing! The best breakfast sandwich I have had no doubt. Everything about it was amazing, love the little cafe feeling and the environment

    Blueberry muffin.  Iced praline latte
    Amy R.

    Quick service. Friendly employees. Delicious coffee (iced latte with praline). I had a muffin, my boyfriend had scrambled eggs and toast. I love finding little places off the beaten path. And it's nice before or after a walk around the levee.

    Breakfast Bowl  Side biscuit

    I have passed this place many times. And obviously robbed myself of a great experience many times! The staff were friendly. The view by the window was so peaceful. I went at 9am and it was a soothing calm environment. I looked over the menu with lots of great choices and chose the breakfast bowl. Best decision of my day. The eggs were light and fluffy with a great taste. The grits were cooked to perfection and the bacon was right on the edge of crispy so I could really taste the flavor. I also ordered the biscuit with a couple jelly's (one being bacon jam suggested by a great waitress). It was so warm and fluffy and super tasty. What blew me away was the presentation! This place really cares about what they put out. The prices are reasonable and the product is remarkably fresh and delicious. I will be back and I will bring anyone I can.

    Grilled Caprese sandwich
    Greg M.

    Went there for brunch on Sunday. The coffee is always delicious, and the food is always on point. Ordered the Grilled Caprese. The mozzarella was fresh, as was the basil. The balsamic glaze was sweet but not too sweet. The servers are always pleasant, and the restaurant is small but quaint. Have never been disappointed.

    Breakfast burrito!  Yo-ho!
    Eric H.

    FOOD Really good and creative enough to be intriguing without being bizarre. I had the breakfast burrito (sounds boring, but it wasn't), the freshness and combo of verde sauce and chorizo hit that proverbial spot for me. I was interested in the Bananas Foster and the Red Velvet Elvis pancakes, but it was a toss-up between the burrito or the Beignet BLT. I loved it, but next time I will go for the decadent BBLT, because why not? Plus, it looks so scrumptious. I ordered some cookies to go, so good and creative that I came back to load up my carry-on bag for wifey to share, good choice. The doberge cake was calling my name, so pretty, but too pricey. SERVICE Folks were adequately friendly, but it seemed they didn't get quite enough sleep the night before, reminds me of when I was 25. It took a few more minutes than I expected for my breakfast, but it was well worth it. I only got one coffee refill, because the tables became increasingly full, while the server was... slightly overwhelmed. AMBIENCE Parking was challenging, until i figured out that the entire building was Debbie. Felt like traditional old time New Orleans style parking. The building is clean, though the entrance door is a bit ramshackle, 1950's vintage, not maintained as well as it could be. When I returned for my second batch of cookies, there was inly one staffer in the front of the house, though I'm sure more were in the back, baking. The server probably fit in the category of gender fluid, not surprising considering the signage posted. I'm down with that, but if it makes you uncomfortable, you may wish to have dinner at Gendusa's a few blocks away where the NASCAR races on Fox Sports dominates the dining room, with photos of Italian gangsters adorn the walls. Different strokes and all. All in all, I will go out of my way to visit Debbie on the Levee next time I visit.

    Beignets
    Xixi H.

    Absolutely wonderful beignets! Perfectly crispy while simultaneously fluffy and dense. So tasty piping hot and alongside some of their yummy cold brew with simple syrup and oat milk . The staff were warm and friendly as well, and the shop overall had a very cozy feel. I saw they have milk and cookies happy hour during the week which is just adorable. Note that they charge an automatic 15% gratuity for service.

    If you like brunch you will LOVE this place. It's a cute little diner with delicious food and very friendly service. The beignets are perfect and everything else we ordered was so so good. Definitely recommend!

    Foster French Toast
    Justin G.

    Quaint little spot on the levee with amazing food and baked goods. The Foster French Toast and Doberge bites I enjoyed are second to none. Truly worth the trip for a nice relaxed brunch.

    Iced brew

    Breakfast Burrito w/ bacon and sausage
    Alicia W.

    Absolutely delicious food! Everything was made fresh to order. Service was fantastic and our server was super knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Atmosphere was very quaint and laid back. They had a ton of dessert/pastry options that we want to go back and try.

    Strawberry milk and pistachio cherry cookie
    Mina H.

    We got to try Debbie on the Levee as a Yelp Elite Perk. It was a cute bakery and bar. (Unique combo, no?) I'm so glad I go to try this place! I don't live in Kenner, so I would have never discovered it otherwise! Complimentary with the Yelp Elite event, we got cookies and flavored milks! We tried a pistachio cherry cookie, which was delicious. The dough was pistachio flavored and chewy, with dried cherry chunks throughout. The chocolate chip cookie was a crispier cookie with tons of mini chocolate chips in it. The flavored milks were yummy too, soft in flavor and not super sweet, so it's not overwhelming. They have regular milk, almond milk, and oat milk. They were out of the Twix flavored milk, so I'll have to come back to try it again some time! We purchased a lavender lemonade ($2.50), and this was fantastic!! Just a little sweet and tart, surprisingly flavorful with a strong (but really pleasant) lavender infusion. I could drink that all day! We also tried their apple curry handpie ($4) I loved the slight hint of curry taste in the apple filling. It was warmed up for us, so it felt freshly baked. Lastly, we bought a jalapeño cheddar scone ($4). This was good too. It was actually more moist than expected (not dried out at all!). The spicy heat from the jalapeño was mild, just a touch. I would say the price and portions for everything is fair as a bakery and bar. They do have a 15% service charge automatically applied, but the staff there are so attentive while you eat and drink there (great service: refills your water and comes to check on you while eating) and working hard to fulfill your order (warming up the pastries and bartending), so I think it's a good idea to bring a little cash for tipping too!

    Tried this place for the first time for a birthday dinner. We sat out on the patio. The fans…read moreprovided a nice breeze and it was good to be able to see the game right there on the big TV. There were so many things I wanted to try. I ended up getting the Jerk chicken with the confit on the side because I didn't want spicy and a side of fries. This was so good. As you can see. I cleaned my plate. I also tried other people's appetizers like the coconut shrimp and Jerk ribs... both were really good. I tried a taste of the bbq shrimp dish, which was also good. Lastly, I tried a slice of someone's steak. It was lacking flavor compared to everything else. Also, they brought out birthday shots and supplies for us to cut and pack the cake. The service was amazing. I'm definitely going back and im probably going to get the chicken again. Lol

    I was really excited to try this placed based off previous reviews but they kind missed the mark…read morefor me. For appetizers we got the crab cake and the calamari. The crab cake AMAZING. By far my favorite thing we had. The calamari was over cooked and very rubbery to the point it was hard to chew. we did inform the server and they did remove it from our bill (we didn't ask them to, so that was nice of them). For entrees we got the Dominican ribs and the redfish. Red fish dish was very good. The ribs had good flavor but I think they were kinda overcooked as well and the mashed potatoes were cold. Service was okay. I am willing to give it another try but my first visit definitely could have been better.
