    My friend's been wanting to try French Quarter Grille, and I've been meaning to visit again, and I definitely had a much better culinary experience this time around! The dishes are really fresh, and the seafood is so delicious. Service is great, but I feel like they came around so often that our dinner conversations were constantly interrupted. I really enjoy the house bread and seasoned butter, and my friend's fish entree was so buttery and soft. I really like oysters Rockefeller, and they fry the oysters so well! I think they might have accidentally given me the wrong pasta dish because I was expecting noodles (I'm pretty sure that's what I said and ordered), but the stuffed pasta was still quite good even though I am not typically a stuffed pasta fan. Overall, great experience and great flavors! I can tell why French Quarter Grille is rated so highly.

    Came back for a celebration with my dear friend! This is out go-to place always. Scott is an amazing host and we're regulars here. The flavors are always top notch and the ambiance is fabulous. I ordered the shrimp salad as I've never had if before, I'm never disappointed with any choice in this restaurant, everything is cook amazingly. I've coming here for years and will continue making this one of my favorite restaurants.

    We nabbed a bite at this place after a movie. The interior has dark brown tones. The staff explained the menu to us as it was our first time eating there. Parking was straight forward, as it is in a strip mall kind of plaza. To access the bathrooms, walk past the bar. I was excited to see escargot on the menu, since I like a good snail. It was garlicy, buttery, parmesany, and excessively salty, so it was not as enjoyable as it could have been. I did, however, mop up the excess garlic butter cheesiness with some bread. For mains, we got the Catfish Portchantrain and the French Quarter Salmon. Catfish Portchantrain: This was great, savory, with a slight spiciness to it. Got it with mashed potatoes, and the veggie of the day which was zucchini and yellow squash; no complaints about those. Would order again. French Quarter Salmon: I can't say the crab bits with chopped tomato were particularly appetizing. The salmon was nicely cooked. It also came with basil pesto and prosciutto slice. Opted for the dirty rice and the veggie de jour (the zucchini and yellow squash). Definitely a step down in flavorful fun from the Catfish Portchantrain. Dessert: Orange Creme Brulee -- creamy, orangey. Sugar-wise, it was at the sweet spot. Overall thoughts: I would return to this restaurant if I happened to be in the area. Does the food occupy a pleasant space in my mind? Sort of. But not enough to keep me coming back weekly. I think, though, this is more of a once-every-three-to-twelve months kind of place, unless there are some hidden gems on the menu. With that said, I'll make a note to come back and try some of their other menu items.

    First time visit and it was just OK. We didn't have a rsvp, so we waited about 20min to be seated. The waiter was nonchalant about everything he did-I guess he didn't really wanna be there...IDK. He brought us rolls to start, but there was only two in the basket...hmmm!!! So, of course, we had to ask for more. I ordered the Catfish Gumbo and overall, it was good. I couldn't fathom why they put the (side) sautéed squash/zucchini in the same plate as the main course-especially because it wasn't apart of the entree. My lady ordered the Catfish Pontachatrain-she said that it lacked that classic "cajun N.O spice." She also ordered the Bread Pudding (which is her fav dessert) she said the temp was lukewarm, and it was missing a crunch element (walnut/almond

    Fried crawfish

    My first time here for lunch. It's been on my To Do list for years. I was there for a group lunch. We had fried green tomatoes for appetizer and fried crawfish. The green tomatoes were amazing! The breading, topping were fantastic and completely delicious. Definitely recommend it as an appetizer. The fried crawfish were perfect and could be a great entree. I love fried crawfish and these easily were great tasting. I had the catfish gumbo that comes with shrimp and crawfish gumbo, veggies of day and red beans and rice. This dish was as delicious as any dish I ever had in the outstanding NOLA restaurants. Definitely hits the right spot for amazing Cajun seafood! Great service and cozy atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place and will be a return guest.

    aisse les bons moments rouler - let the good times roll in French! Surprise...date night with my wonderful! As comments Mardi Gras, what better place to go to other than the French Quarter Grill. Since it was a spontaneous gesture, we did not have reservations. We had a relatively short wait of 20 minutes. So, we sat at the bar. My husband drinks very little. I opted for a margarita. It was strong and most delicious! The service was top notch! The owner, Scott came over several times to talk to us while we were in the bar. He was super friendly and personable. Our server Sarah was the server we've experienced in quite some time. She visited our table many times as New Orleans friendly. The French Grille has NOLA (New OrleansLouisiana) feel...

    Catfish Gumbo lunch
    Brooke D.

    Came here for a work lunch yesterday and I love this spot! My stepdad is from New Orleans and makes the best gumbo and red beans and rice and I think he would definitely approve of this spot. We shared the fried green tomatoes and calamari as an appetizer and both were great but the calamari was excellent. I ordered the catfish gumbo and chose red beans and rice for my side and everything was fantastic. Awesome flavor, you can tell they take their time making this food. Service was great! Our waitress was very kind and did a great job accommodating our larger group. The inside of the restaurant is nice as well, good seating and a cozy vibe. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic New Orleans food.

    Beef & Shrimp

    Gave the escargot a try. It was already out of the shell. The beef and shrimp pasta was delicious. The mushroom sauce was some of the best I've had. They also had a good key lime pie but I ate it took fast to grab a pic.

    Blackened redfish so amazing
    Tanya W.

    This is hands down the real deal high-end French Cajun food! The servers are top notch and know their stuff! Always the same staff and consistent delicious food. If you have not tried this place you are missing out! If you're not a seafood lover, get the blackened ribeye OMG it's heaven. Reasonable prices for a higher end night out!

    Elia Y.

    Environment is nice, but the food quality is disappointing. The crawfish étouffée was stinky and tough, the side vegetables were clearly frozen, and both the flounder and shrimp tasted old and reheated. Everything felt like pre-cooked frozen food. Definitely overpriced for the quality.

    Ribeye with asparagus, Chipotle cheddar mashed potatoes, and cabbage
    Renee M.

    Great food. Excellent selection of seafood as well as red meat. Complementary rolls were fresh from oven and delicious. Service frequent but not hovering. 1 steak, very tender. Trout with shrimp also excellent. Fish of yhe day delightful. Even godd fries and chicken stripe for our 2 year old. No time for dessert but they looked fabulous.

    Uhuru D.

    I had never visited the location but I did want to give it a try based on a recommendation from a friend. I am so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the Red beans and rice and catfish. tasted just like home. Absolutely amazing. I will definitely visit again

    When my food was put down I could smell how seasoned it was before the beef and shrimp entered my mouth . I love the pasta choice I chose with the Caesar salad. My service my phenomenal she let me and my boyfriend have our date but kept checking up on us and we ended with a cheesecake with some strawberries . I'm from California and work Marriott it was recommended to me by an Austin native to come and try here especially after I learned the history

This is a Cajun restaurant through and through, with friendly employees, a NOLA vibe, and awesome food. We were surprised at how much we enjoyed everything we tasted. After seeing Lil' Easy's extensive Frozens list, we had to taste test. My friends ordered the Cowboy Coffee and Celestial Sunrise, and I tried the Saturn frozen. We were surprised at the complex flavor of the frozens, and enjoyed all three. To eat, we started with the boudin balls which will now be a mandatory order for all future visits -- crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside, served with creamy creole mustard aioli. My friends loved the cajun meat pie and fried butterflied gulf shrimp. I enjoyed my order of the gumbo, and snagged one of my friend's hushpuppies, which was perfectly done -- not dry! We ended with an order of the rum cake with vanilla ice cream, which was deliciously decadent. Counting down the days until our next visit at this fun spot. The only negative was the bathroom line -- there are only a few individual bathrooms, so be prepared to wait. Our server also let us know that they are having crawfish boils every weekend in Spring for everyone looking to get their crawfish fix!
