    Brussel Sprouts that make you lick the plate!
    Jevon M.

    Alright nah y'all now that I have come out of this food coma let me tell ya about this place here! From the moment we entered the restaurant to the owners walking us out, it was top tier! Felt like we were family! I was telling customers, "Welcome to Francois'"! Baby the food was DELICIOUS! We had every dang thing! Spinach dip and the house made tortilla chips made you want to bring in a ziploc bag and fill it up! If you don't like Brussels sprouts you will love these!!! Baby that Sunrise Burger is everything, trust me you won't eat it all! The cheesecake is something remarkable! The place is so cute and quaint! I definitely will be back! Now I'm not a drinker but those shots was shotting! Y'all run to this hidden gem!

    Catfish and crawfish rice
    Latrina C.

    There are so many great things to say about this place I don't know where to start. Everything I've tried has been "nothing short of amazing" the steak, the smothered potato's, lamb chops, tacos, wings, and lastly "my favorite"crawfish rice and fried catfish. The catfish and crawfish rice are both seasoned perfectly; fish is fried to perfection. I am so addicted to that particular meal (catfish and crawfish rice) that as soon as I arrive in town Francois Tavern is was one of my favorite (first) stops. Anyway, not only do you get amazing food but you also get excellent customer service, the owners make you feel at home, like family. What more could you ask for?. Pros: food (to include taste, quality, and prices) customer service, and overall consistency. Cons: none I have zero complaints about this restaurant/tavern. Whenever I am in town and I am in search of a great meal with great customer service I head to Francois Tavern. Highly recommend this place!!

    Best damn fried catfish I've had!

    I don't even know where to begin, everything I had was phenomenal!! A few of my fellow coworkers were in town and stumbled upon this place. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by Spike and his wife who own the awesome establishment. They are such awesome people and super friendly. Ok so to kick off the review, we asked about the corn and crab soup which absolutely amazing. Packed with a lot of meat and flavor! This is a must try!! My coworker ended up ordering the fried catfish plate and I was able to snag a piece. This was another hit. Tons of flavor in the batter which I truly love. I myself ended up going with the crawfish Ettoufee, again packed with just the right amount of heat and tons of flavor! In my opinion this place has much better food than you can find in Mew Orleans. So with that being said please come out and support this place. I promise you won't regret it.

    EVERYTHING!!!!

    Soooo we had a meeting in Laplace, and searched somewhere close. We have found a diamond in the rough! Everything we ordered was so good!! We started with Philly eggrolls, crawfish nachos, broussel sprouts and spinach dip!!! All good!!! We had fish platter and all the burgers!

    Swamp Tacos

    Absolutely delicious food! Visiting from Oregon and it was so so good. Service was fast and friendly. Was able to accommodate our group of 5 fast. Food came out quickly. Highly recommend the swamp tacos!

    Cooter Brown's is truly an Uptown New Orleans staple…read more This classic tavern and oyster bar is one of my go-to spots when I'm looking to just chill, grab a great drink, and enjoy solid New Orleans food in a laid-back environment. Located right at St. Charles & Carrollton on the streetcar line, it's super easy to get to and always buzzing in the best way. The drink options are endless--great cocktails, frozen margaritas, beer by the glass or pitcher, and a huge variety of beers to choose from. TVs are everywhere, making it a perfect spot to catch sporting events, meet up with friends, or just hang out solo. The vibe is low-key, casual, and welcoming--no frills, just a consistently good time. I also love that they're open 11 AM to 1 AM, seven days a week, which is clutch no matter the day or occasion. And finding out they've been around since 1977 just adds to the charm and legacy. If you're looking for great happy hour options, strong cocktails, classic New Orleans eats, and an Uptown spot where you can relax and connect with friends, Cooter Brown's always delivers. Definitely one of those places that never goes out of style. A true NOLA staple.

    Not sure why you would call yourself a sports bar but not have the sound on during Sunday night…read morefootball. Food is really good for a dive bar. Drinks are inexpensive and strong.
