    Off the beaten path and in the Bywater area down right at the river you'll find this quirky little place that has a great reputation in New Orleans Elizabeth's. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong thing which was supposed to be boudin balls topped with a poached egg and crawfish étouffée. Unfortunately the Boudin balls were actually patties and they weren't very good. The Crawfish was not very good at all and the poached eggs were way over poached not runny at all. Thank God, I had a great waitress and she brought me some poached eggs that were perfectly done which I ate with the grits and then she brought me pecan pie and it was one of the best I have ever eaten so don't give up on Elizabeth just don't order the Boudin with Crawfish.

    Banana French Toast

    Our best breakfast in NOLA. We returned last week and being away for two years and everything was just as good. We started with our two favorite appetizers: praline bacon & old fashioned callas For breakfast we had Eggs Elizabeth, banana French toast. and Carne Asada bowl. All outstanding choices. Parking across the street in the park.

    This place really deserves a solid 3.85. As a fan of the Bywater neighborhood, I wanted to make sure to get bfast/lunch in the area. We came in in, were seated by a friendly host, and perused through the menu. A bunch of things sounded quite good. -Boudin Balls: pretty good, a littttttle too much breading, but well executed. -Fried green tomatoes: these were darn good, and somehow stayed hot (temp wise) for a while, like, longer than you'd expect something to stay hot. -eggs elizabeth: pretty good, nice amount of ham, hollandaise was above average, eggs poached well, and the bread was good. the home fries need work though as they were too soft and lacked any seasoning. -banana's foster french toast: this was unfortunately not that great, the bread seemed off, old, undone, something... no one at the table could pinpoint it, it went mostly uneaten due to that. -grits: perfectly average, not the best, but nothing to complain about. This place is cute, I wouldn't say no to it, but with so many good places to eat in the city, am I running back, no, but if nearby, sure.

    Back again for a wonderful breakfast the way staff here is Super very attentive the menus almost the same every time they have about one waffle special I got something new on the menu. You can call the limited, which is just eggs, potatoes and toast, my wife, that avocado toast they were a little light on the avocado but again it was a great breakfast. Thanks. Don't try Elizabeth if you don't know where to have breakfast and then Bywater this is one of the better choices. The art on the wall is always fun. We were lucky that it was just the two of us. We got seated right away. We recommend the bloody Mary's that's our go to. I'm not really a biscuit fan so I substituted biscuit for the sourdough toast. Definitely get the brain bacon and try the gumbo.

    Fish and fried green tomatoes

    Really good quality southern food- off the beaten path but so worth it. Great homey spot with quick service and tons of southern options. Enjoyed fish with sides and fried green tomatoes. Everything was delicious and good size portions. Recommend

    Carne asada hash with poached eggs (foreground), fried catfish (background)
    Megara B.

    The food is phenomenal and the waiter was delightfully chill. Completely unbothered in the best possible way. Carne asada hash is delicious and pairs well with the house hot sauce. Fried catfish, perfection. I don't usually care for potato salad or Cole slaw but these were both fantastic. All of these were GF! The art is glorious. The coffee was meh but you know, this ain't a coffee joint.

    this was some type of egg Florentine dish. This was a 1/2 portion. It came to the table warm at best.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. The décor has a cool, quirky vibe with bottle-cap picture frames and musician photos. We went on a Thursday morning to avoid the crowd, and it was quiet, only 3 other tables occupied besides our 2 top, but service was slow despite only a few tables being occupied. The food was just average. I don't like when my food is not hot. And i had to look for the server to get the bill. She was pretty slow . I might try it one more time.

    I think i found this spot on YouTube when I was trying to look for places during our trip. They raved about the breakfast burrito and honestly? That was probably my least favorite thing. We probably waited around 15 mins before we got seated. Billy was our server and he was kind of whatever's. I get it tho, they were starting to get busy busy and he was just trying to get people in and out. My boyfriend ordered the shrimps and grits. He thought it tasted like he was eating at someone's home - it was very rustic and flavorful tho he preferred the shrimps and grits we had at a different location a couple days prior. I also ordered the praline bacon for shits and giggles and wowwwwww those babies were candied! Sweet, chewy and crispy. My mouth is watering thinking about them hahah. I'd order these again. We also ordered the banana fosters French toast and this was surprisingly good despite it looking like they smashed some bread up, fried it and slapped some stuff on it lol. I'd order these again too. Ok so my beef with the breakfast burrito actually had more to do with the breakfast sausage they used that day. It had such an awful taste, I had to ask Billy what kind of meat they used because the seasoning in the breakfast sandwich was so overwhelming. I ended up just picking around all the meat but even then it kind of seeped into everything else. I wish I just sent it back tbh. The ambiance inside was very loud in color and eclectic, with a bunch of things and art adorning the walls. Idk maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but idk if I'd intentional go out of my way to return and try something new. Was it the best thing we had during our trip? Definitely not. Was it absolutely terrible? Not everything was, there were some diamonds in the rough for sure. Would I recommend this place to a friend visiting New Orleans for the first time? No, I probably wouldn't. Is it a decent ish spot to get food if you're in the area? Sure!

    Shrimp and Grits

    This place is amazing! A friend who's a local recommended it to us and I couldn't rave about it enough. While we had the hardest time deciding what to order, my husband got the shrimp and grits and said it was the best he's had. As I couldn't decide between sweet or savory, I got both but made the hubs share part of it. The banana fosters French toast with caramel cream cheese - OMG - yum! And my main dish was the fried green tomato eggs Benedict and it's now my favorite ever. Again, I can't give more praise! Server was great, food amazing and local atmosphere made us feel at home. I will definitely go back when I come to New Orleans again!

    Eggs Elizabeth. Think eggs Benedict but on French bread

    Had the hankering for some chicken and waffles and Elizabeth's come through for me! The staff were super friendly and I loved the artsy ambiance., the chicken was flavorful and juicy and the eggs Elizabeth was cooked and seasoned to perfection. If you find yourself around Bywater LA, and you want an amazing breakfast you should stop by.

    Top notch cool all the way! Place came highly recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. Has a nice, small homey feel to it with a super cool staff...each one covered in more ink than the one before . I sat upstairs at the 2nd floor bar. Cozy and clean. Bartender, Alex, was awesome and seem tailor made for the place. Excellent homemade bloody mary to kick off my breakfast. I started with the praline bacon appetizer. I'm usually more a traditional bacon kinda guy but I'm glad I went with this as it was not overly candied but just right. My breakfast entreé was spectacular as I went with one of the specials, Crabby Eggs. Two homemade crab cakes topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The crab cakes were especially excellent and this came with a side of hash browns. Cool looking building both inside and out. Worthy of a few camera snaps. A great experience that I can't wait to do again.

    Stopped by Elizabeth's for breakfast while visiting NOLA for my birthday. The restaurant is tucked away in an area that feels industrial and residential and we passed a really cool art gallery/lot on our drive over. The atmosphere is welcoming and rich with colors. I noticed that most of the art on the walls came from the gallery down the street which was awesome! For brunch we started with the praline bacon and cup of chicken and sausage gumbo. The bacon was perfectly crisp and sweetened and the gumbo was good and really warmed up the body. For mains we ordered the Campfire Steak and Eggs and the Bayou Breakfast. The steak was cold-smoked (a first for me!) and was extremely well cooked medium temp. However the steak was just a little over salted for my taste. The fried catfish strips were crunchy but the potatoes may have been my favorite. Would absolutely return when down in NOLA!

    Oh this food is absolutely incredible. Ambiance is so unique. The bacon is phenomenal!!! I cannot wait to go back and eat there again. The most unique combinations of food that tastes like perfection. A hidden gem for sure and one of my regular go tos!

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice.
