It is unreal. So good. Delish. Cant go wrong. Do yourself a favor and order one of everything. read more

The good is fantastic! Five for sure The owners daughters are personable and know what they're doing!! The menu is limited but what they cook they do so pretty damn well and take pride in it!! Inside seating is very limited.... Outside seating is on the sidewalk and people walk by your table or ride their bikes right there.... an authentic ride by! No way would I have sat outside at night and cautiously, even at night. That's how they loss half a star. In a different neighborhood it'd be a five and you'd easily be paying $15-20 more pre plate. The sauce on the meats are great, the presentation excellent and the Mac-n-Cheese some of the best I've ever had. The meal really is special .....really it is. The chicken breast was very good as well. The meal is more than affordable .... only because of the area but I had no problems. I sat outside, ate my food and enjoyed where I was. It was GREAT Sunday, 16th of Sept. 2018 I tried to go by after the football game between the Saints and the Browns. I was really excited to eat there again and to research it as one of the few New Orleans places open in a Sunday .. I was elated only to pull-up after the game to find out they were closed. Perhaps just for this Sunday but I was soooo depressed!!!!! Just to let you know there posted time may not be accura Monday, the 17th The daughters wanted to know where it was stated they were open on Sunday because they tried to correct it everywhere. Mistakes happen, I was just glad they were still open. The food remains very good!!!! read more

Ordered "dat plate" for lunch through Uber Eats. I chose the stuffed bell pepper as the protein option and it came with sides of macaroni, potato salad and peas. It was DIVINE! Best stuffed pepper I've had in a while. I'm planning on ordering the same plate tomorrow for lunch. Classic NOLA food during these crazy covid times. read more

Food good! Customer service needs to be worked on fast...the young lady sounds miserable answering the phone and looks miserable in person. Please work on the customer service read more

Visited this place just because of a list that was going around about food spots in New Orleans that's black owned. Just a quick review; the food here was very good. I had the bourbon street Love, which was fried chicken and mac and cheese with crawfish sauce. Man I tell ya that crawfish sauce is what put this place over the top. The Fried Chicken was already good, along with the Mac and Cheese. My partner had the red beans and rice with the fried chicken which she loved as well. Just like what other people said we had the pleasure of being served by the chef's daughter. She was the best. Another thing that put this place at a 5* for me. She even told us of different places she recommended for us to check out. We definitely took her up on a few of them and they were great. read more

First, the food! Everything was amazing, and chef Jeff absolutely rocks! The fried chicken was perfect, the mac & cheese was delicious, and the skeesh sauce made everything better. The service, on the other hand, was also incredible. Tia was exactly what you'd hope for in terms of southern hospitality, and that special New Orleans love, ya heard dat? I can't recommend this place enough. If you ever get down this way, go for lunch. You can thank me later. read more

Another Great visit to Heard Dat Kitchen!! Each time I eat here Chef Jeff out does himself! That blackened steak is truly the best steak I've ever eaten, and that includes several of the best steak houses in the country (Ruth Chris, Capital Grille, etc). The service is friendly and fabulous, with a nice family feel. My husband always has one of the amazing seafood dishes (just pick one, they are ALL GREAT!!) and we are never disappointed! The same cuisine many famous folks in the New Orleans area have catered by Chef Jeff (Audrey Mea's Catering) you too can have at his personal little hot spot. It's a small place that's big on taste. It is NOT TO BE MISSED if you are visiting or live in the city!! read more

Brought some out of town "foodie" friends here for lunch last week. I had never been myself, but going by word on the street I knew it would be good. It sure was. Before my friends left they told me it was their favorite meal of their Nola food tour! I got the Mardi Gras mambo (sub green beans instead of peas) and it was delicious! 10/10 would recommend! All of my favorite things.... Fried fish, melted cheese, over mac and cheese and crawfish cream sauce. [Insert drooling emoji]. The potato salad was delicious also, it was blended and I loved it. My friends got the pasta and said it was amazing. They also got the wings and said they were some of the best wings they have ever had. Chef Jeff came out to chat with us and he was an absolute sweetheart!!! Talking to him just made us love his food and restaurant even more. I will be recommending Heard Dat Kitchen to everyone I know!! Locals and visitors. The menu has something for everyone and I know they will not be disappointed! read more

The best meal I had in New Orleans! This place is a gem and the folks that run the place are so friendly. You have to try the Super Dome. My photo is attached.

Heard Dat Kitchen - Fish with Mac & chess - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Really wanted to try this spot. Was visiting from out of town. Walked in and asked the lady behind the counter what fish of the day was being used in a dish and if it had bones. I looked through the little peep hole and saw her popping her lips so perturbed because I asked one question. I'm so glad I saw this and that I didn't move forward with the order. If this one question pissed her off, I don't even wanna think what might've happened to my food. But I found a better option with Cafe Reconcile right up the street. Thanks for sending me as their catfish and Mac n cheese were sooo good! read more

I meaaaaaaan what better hole in the wall than this place! E V E R Y T H I N G is amazzzzzzzing!

Heard Dat Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

If you are visiting, you have to stop here before you leave! If your from around here and you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out, so go get some! We are visiting from California and after already spending a couple days here, this is by far the best food we've had. So good we ordered to-go the next day! We ordered the Gumbo and grilled cheese sandwich, Madi gra mambo (fried fish over Mac and cheese, potato salad and peas) and The bourbon street love ..MY FAVORITE.. (Fried chicken over Mac and cheese, crawdat cream sauce and potato salad.) Yumm! Everything was perfectly crispy and fresh tasting. The crawdat sauce is to die for. It has whole peeled crawfish tails which I appreciate. Most other crawfish sauces around don't have full pieces in it. You can tell the kitchen loves what they do. read more

So dont let the outside nor the inside fool you! The food is to die for!! Let me start by saying its a black owned restaurant that truly valued their customers and foods. As I walked in , I wanted to sit down to eat but I arrived after 4pm which the main restaurant was closed and I had to order for take out. I could have sat at the small take out but I really wanted to just enjoy my meal.. I was unsure what to order so a lady that was there was more willing to show me her take out and the bourbon chicken spoke to me. The lady (Tia) that works there was so sweet and offered me water . I placed my order of chicken bourbon and had to wait a lil but that didn't bother me as the wait was worth it. I am not a big fan of chicken as he can be dry and flavorless but when I tell you I took that one bite!!! I felt in heaven, the tenderness, juiciness and the flavor had my palates screaming for more... the crawfish sauce that covered the chicken and mac and cheese was like made out of love, lol It reminded me of my mom cooking and she is a great cook(using all the right seasoning and putting her soul into it) .. yes I did lick my plate Haha.. Definitely a place to go for authentic cuisine! #supportblackrestaurant read more

I am not kidding this is the best damn food. Took a while to locate but man am I glad we didn't give up.

Heard Dat Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

All the reviews are right, this place is a gem! Reasonable prices for top-quality food. We've been back a few times and leave happily stuffed every time. The Bourbon street love is always a hit, crisp yet tender chicken over creamy, rich mac and cheese with enough of the mustard-heavy potato salad to please any group. Servings are sizable and we usually order one less main dish than number of people in our group. The Superdome was another flavor explosion with a combination of ingredients that would rival many of the classic institutions in this town. This has quickly become one of our staples to show visitors and treat ourselves! read more

This is our new favorite spot in New Orleans! We definitely passed it up while driving and walking. LOL. There are only two tables inside, but they have outdoor seating. The waitresses were friendly. We ordered the Mardi Gras Mambo and Bourbon Street and they were finger licking food. I haven't eaten peas since I was a baby and I wasn't expecting to eat the ones on my plate. But these peas were sooooo good! "You heard dat?" Also, the plating of the food was good and our plates came out clean. We will definitely return! read more

Stumbled on this place via Yelp when I was picked up from the airport. Let me tell ya it's the best wings I've had in Fo-Eva!!!!!! Also ordered a few other dishes and they were beyond delish. Tia was helpful and funny and we will definitely be back next visit. Keep up the great work read more

The Bourbon is one of the best things I've eaten in a long, long time. It is a perfectly fried chicken thigh over Mac and cheese covered in a delicious sauce. The potato salad is also quite good. It is a must-stop! The gumbo combo is another one of my favorites. read more

The food was AMAZING and so filling! I got the Bourbon Street love and it was great. The neighborhood and atmosphere is a bit sketchy as a tourist, but this food definitely did NOT disappoint and made it worth the visit! read more

Heard Dat Kitchen - Bourbon street love - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a super late review, I came across the photos in my phone and have to share how wonderful the food is here. I came here a few months ago while in town visiting friends and we had an amazing experience. We ate outside, our waitress was pleasant and the food is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. The chef came out to ask how the food was & I couldn't stop thanking him. I ate here twice during my trip, the superdome is one of the best meals I've ever had & those crawfish fries are crazy addictive. I live in Philly & I literally dream about this food. I'll be visiting Nola again soon and this will be my first stop. EAT HERE you won't regret it. read more

Great food! Owner came out to talk with us- a super nice man with lots of culinary talent. Staff was very friendly as well :)

OMGosh, the review is hella late but worth my time to go in and approve of their 5 star rating! We visited this place in March during our 1st time to the N.O. and thanks to Yelp, we were not disappointed. We have several friends and family that visit all the time and NOT one person told us about this place. Thanks again Yelp! I ordered the Superdome, which came with potatoes, blanked fish, onion rings, corn and some kind of seafood creamy sauce. I could have taken a bath in that sauce!! Please let me get lost in the sauce! It was so freaking fracking delicious! And it was seasoned to perfection! We searched for the best "creole" style food and that popped right up! Location: if you blink, you'll miss the building, the sweet lady (with her awesome accent) that answered the phone literally came outside to flag us down to help us find the place. Inside: it's really small, but I didn't mind sitting in there, it made me feel warm and fuzzy, as if I belonged there. They do have a few tables right outside the door if you're like eating outdoors. Residences, tourists, stopping through on the way to another city, do yourself a solid and pop this address into the GPS. You're welcome read more

Finally made it here to get a long overdue taste of Chef Jeff's cuisine. Absolutely amazing food...compliments to the chef!!! My husband and I have definitely decided to become regulars. We ordered the Superdome & the Mardi Gras Mambo. Our only complaint (which is why we didn't rate 5 stars) is that as amazing as the food is the venue is not really suitable for dining in. It's best to order to go. The restaurant is very small with No bathroom and they tend to get a lot of indigents/panhandlers. read more

The food was great! Pictures don't do it justice! Was well worth the wait. I would gladly go back.

Coming from the Bay Area, we wanted to try ALL the food in New Orleans. We hit world famous spots, low key spots, and spots recommended by people we came across. Trust me when I say this...some came close but not could touch Heard Dat Kitchen. We will be going back before returning to the bay area. The owner's last name is actually Heard, which i thought was cool. Thanks again Mr. Heard. Odis James read more

Located behind the old Keller market. This restaurant is small and doesn't look like much at first glance, but the food is PHENOMENAL. I try to eat here as often as possible. I always get the gumbo with rice and potato salad with the house fruit punch along with the loaded crawfish fries (( I'm getting hungry writing this..beyond words sooooo good)) Service is always great!! Everyone is very nice!!! Mr.Heard & staff keep up the great work!! read more

NOLA's FINEST EATERY Heard Dat Kitchen was literally the last place my family went to before we left New Orleans. Boy oh Boy the food was sooooo good I would take a direct trip from my home in New York just to have a meal from this comfort food spot. We had looked up places to eat at in New Orleans and Heard Dat caught our attention. To our surprise when we arrive a local ABC studio show was filming a segment on the restaurant which further warranted our desire to eat here. The waitress was super friendly and helpful definitely exemplifying the term Southern hospitality. Chef Heard seemed very happy, you could see that he loves what he does and that love of his is expressed in his food and the way it's perfectly seasoned, cooked and plated. My family of four ordered the Crawdat Fries to start and they were amazing gone within 2 minutes. For our entrees we ordered the Superdome(mash potatoes to die for), Seafood Extravaganza, and 2 orders of Bourbon Street Love. All of these dishes were AMAZING!!! I could say the dish I ordered 'Bourbon Street Love' was probably, if not, THE BEST dish I've ever had! And the Fried Chicken was hands down the best Fried chicken I've ever had! It was crisp, tender, juicy and jam packed full of flavor. I'm someone who can't stand eating any type of seafood yet the lobster and Blackened fish I took off of my parents plates were Delocious and changed my opinion on seafood.Next time I'm in town I'm going to visit this place multiple times especially to try that Bread Pudding they ran out of. Heard Dat deserves every bit of this five star rating and then some. read more

Okay so I heard a lot of hype about this place and how fantastic the food is. So I set out today to check it out. My mission was accomplished and all I can say is WOW! The food was perfect!!!! My tastebuds were all over the place with sheer joy and satisfaction. I had the Super Dome; blackened fish with lobster mashed potatoes and corn topped with onion rings. The onion rings were perfection, fried and HOMEMADE!!!! No frozen rings over there!!! Everything was seasoned to perfection. Portion size is perfect! Excellent!!! I'll be back. I already know what I'll be tasting next. read more

This place is legit...We got the seafood extravaganza, Dat Chicken Plate, and the Bourbon Street Love. All three were delicious. The sweet tea was on time and the service was really good. We were even greeted by the kitchen staff. I really like the ambiance of the dining room. Takes me back to 1970s New Orleans. I could hear the Seafood City Commercial song in the back of my mind. The dining room had a fresh coat of paint and was very clean. I'll definitely be back. I can't recommend this place enough for really good New Orleans food. read more

I've been hearing about this place for awhile and finally got a chance to check it out. First I was greeted by Tia who was very welcoming and hospitable! I started with the skeesh shrimp which was by far the best thing I ate there! The shrimp were well seasoned and crispy, tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce served over a bed of mixed greens. They were so delicious if I had stopped there I would have been more than satisfied. My friend and I split the Bourbon Street Love and Mardi Gras Mambo for our entrees and those were both great! The potato salad was awesome (as a local New Orleanian, I can't trust everyone's potato salad). Definitely will be a repeat customer. Hopefully I can try the bread pudding next time as Tia's description of it enticed me but I honestly had no where to put it. read more

Food AND service is simply exquisite. You can bypass this little unassuming spot if you want to but you'll regret it. We jumped in Lyft and I searched yelp for a Black owned restaurant (yup, I do that in every city #BuyBlackEveryDay ) and stumbled upon this little gem. The old adage "don't judge a book by its cover" is QUITE appropo because if you didn't read the reviews before stepping into this cute little spot you would say #WTF ? When you drove/walked up. THINK AGAIN. Go on in, ring the little bell on the window counter and get ready for a taste sensation. I had the Mambo dish and the fish was fresh, flaky and perfectly seasoned. I'm not a big crawfish fanatic (sauces aren't my thing) but dayum! It was good. My man had the Bourbon Love and we bout had a battle over his chicken. We made up over bread pudding after a brief spoon battle. If you are wondering...wait a minute... isn't she gluten free? Yeah, well...sometimes ya gotta take the little gluetnease pill and just go for it. I did...no regrets. No photos. I forgot but the pics of other's food is representative of the dishes. Beautifully plated and the taste to match. The young lady serving is an absolute joy. Here's to hoping they open a spot in northern California. read more

This is exactly the kind of place I wanted to hit up while rolling thru town. Super local, no frills, Creole soul food cooked (and served) with passion & creativity. Super bummed they were out of the gumbo, but the Crawdat Mac was delicious. Most importantly to me tho was the vibe of this place. On the street, with very little indication to me that it was actually a restaurant, and a girl (an owner?) who took my order who's impossible not to fall in love with given her attitude, vibe, beauty & sweetness. Of all the diverse places I visited in NOLA these past few days, this was definitely one of my favorites cuz of her, the vibe & dat crawdat. read more

Wow! The food was exactly as stated in previous reviews! Simply superb, I had the crab special which was a blackened fish in a lemon butter sauce topped with crab and served with asparagus and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My mom had the chef steak special which was a blackened rib eye with mashed potatoes and a crawdat sauce topped with fried shrimp. So far this is the best meal I've had in New Orleans, I'm convinced I can't survive here with out gaining an enormous amount of weight the food is just toooo good! Edit: my only issue was with the environment, uh simply not the best. The gambling part right in the restaurant is seedy and honestly I probably wouldn't want to come at night. My mom was extremely uncomfortable with what was happening with two guys who were in and out. read more
