The nachos are the bomb. We enjoy the takeout window out back and have had pretty consistently good service.

Average food, ridiculous prices for Mexican. Over $30 for a lunch for two without drinks for a $15 caliber meal. Stay away!

Don't do it! The food is not horrible, but it really isn't worth the gas money it takes to get there.

Chips and salsa were a go-to freebie followed by the chicken tortilla soup and finished with the white enchilada.

My wife and I went to Mouth of the South, as she knew I love New Orleans style food and culture,…read moreespecially gumbo. They had some jazz playing on the overhead speakers but not too loud so you could hear the person you are with. They had a chandelier made of trumpets and trombones draped in carnival beads. We went just before 5 on a Saturday and it was not too full. It got quite busy by the time we left and I can see why! We usually do not get appetizers but I had to try the gumbo. I got the small so I could leave room for the meal. It was hot, and tasted very fresh and authentic. Our server, Alex, was very enthusiastic and quite knowledgeable about the many dishes they had. The hardest part for me was to choose what to get as everything sounded so good. I got the Andouille breaded red snapper, which was pan fried, served with a crawfish cream sauce, mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables (green beans and yellow squash). It looked as good as it tasted, which was incredible! My wife got a burger and fries which she said were also very good. We had to try the Beignets, which I haven't had in a very long time. They were hot and crispy, covered with a blanket of powered sugar, and served with a chocolate sauce and a whisky sauce. They were delicious and definitely reminded me of being back at Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter. We left full of some of the best food I had ever eaten, and felt like we were treated like family while we were there. This has quickly become my favorite restaurant in town and look forward to returning to try some of their other amazing looking food. If their other dishes are as good as what I just had, I will likely never want to go anywhere else.

We were excited to try this place for the first time, but after waiting about 20 minutes without…read moreseeing a server, we had to ask around for help. It was disappointing to see another couple who arrived after us get served right away. The server we asked did end up helping us, but I did expect a manager to come over and at least apologize--unfortunately, that didn't happen. The food was not bad and definitely tasted made to order, though the jambalaya was a little dry. The restaurant was pretty loud, which is expected. On a positive note, the server we ended up with was very nice. Overall, I will not be returning. Another frustrating issue was with the entrées: you cannot substitute mashed potatoes and grits as sides, with fries or something else that you actually enjoy eating, which was disappointing. This is something the owner may want to consider changing.

The service was excellent and our server was attentive. Went there for their fried chicken which was highly recommended but was not a fan. The chicken is under seasoned and dry. Even with the dipping sauce it needed more flavor. Didn't even take a picture because it wasn't that good looking either. It was underwhelming to say the least. However, the biscuits were DELICIOUS. Crisp and amazing with butter and jam. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as well which were tasty and crunchy, they came with tasty goat cheese and some sauce, while I do wish there was a bit more sauce it was still a great choice. The Mimosa flight was good but it wasn't anything special, I do wish for the cost that there was a bit more going on or even bigger portions. Overall good place to go with a good variety of options.

We started with the biscuits, which came out hot and fresh. These were so delicious and buttery, and the peach and blueberry jam took them to the next level. My husband and I both had the mountain morning bowl. To me, this is a perfect breakfast! Goat cheese grits, crispy potatoes, egg, a little spice...YUM. The other members of our party also loved their meals. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Acadian Grille Scratch Kitchen - Cajun Meatloaf

Hidden treasure in the heart of Old Mill. As my friend said, "more people need to know about this…read moreplace." All of the food is made to order, and it's authentic Louisiana fare. Friendly staff, decent bar, and great meals. Budget-friendly food that's better than the standard whatever you're used to. Cool vibe - can't wait to go back. Also - check out their reverse happy hours - weirdly early and extra-late. Great deals. Cheers!

We live right by Acadian Grille, so we pop in there pretty often. It's a nice little Cajun…read morerestaurant, which there are not many of in Omaha. The interior is a little boxy, but with lots of decor like chandeliers with Mardi Gras beads hanging down, some uplighting, and cute New Orleans pictures on the walls. Our favorite little side/app, are the Boudin Balls, which are kind of like hush puppies, but with a nice helping of remoulade on top. Yum! My fave go-to entree is the Five Pepper Cream pasta, which is fettuccini tossed in a creamy creole sauce, with a huge breaded filet of blackened chicken on top. Another favorite is the Creole Mac, which is a Mac and Cheese, but with a spicy sauce/spices on top, and filled with andouille sausage as well as sliced, grilled chicken. It definitely has a kick, so if you're averse to any heat, then maybe choose something else. And lastly, I sometimes get the Cajun Meatloaf, if I'm feeling like a heavier dish. It is meatloaf, like you've obviously had a million times, but it is sitting in a dish full of grits and sweet potatoes, and topped with a creamy white béchamel sauce. They also have a lunch size portion of this, which I appreciate. And each entree comes with a little slice of cheesy bread, that's great to dip in the extra sauce of your dish! We sometimes also get the desserts, and they have a great crème brûlée and bananas foster. It's hard to find a good bananas foster in Omaha, and theirs is really good, and very large! The service we have had has always been pretty good, but we did have a weird encounter with one server recently. She made a joke about something (I can't even remember what it was), but it was a little bit poking fun at my husband. It was fine and we all laughed a little at it, but what was weird was that she kept coming over and repeating it over and over in different ways. It was a little annoying and awkward. The owner (I think?) was walking around making sure everything was ok and chatting with each table, so he was great - no complaints there. I will say the only other drawback is that it definitely is not an inexpensive place to eat, so you can't return TOO often. But when you do, you better come hungry and it needs to be a special treat. Acadian Grille is one of only a few creole/cajun restaurants in Omaha, so definitely give them a try if you are looking for that style of food - or know it and want to find it in Omaha!

I thought I was going to dine in, but a half hour later my food came out all boxed up for takeout. I thought I had ordered crawfish etouffee as the main dish, but instead I got catfish with a side of etouffee. I live nowhere near Shug's and would not have ordered takeout had I known. So I was a bit miffed as I drove home hungry. But once I got home and could eat, it was really good!!

They were perfect, soft with the brown sugar flavor smackingbthe taste buds. The Red Beans and Rice is Fire. It brings a little heat. I didn't find any andouille sausage in mine, but the flavor and the rice was perfect. Solid Red Beans and Rice. The Chicken Breast and Leg. The breading was so perfect. One of the best fried chicken I have had, crispy and juicy inside. The chicken was amazing. I would definitely return. Loved the old R&B while waiting. I would return, but I don't know if I would get the same or something different because everything was perfect and delicious. Satisfying Southern Comfort Food that sends your taste buds to flavor town.
