The best fish and grits in New Orleans!!! Thank you number one for your customer service and the food was amazing. I am visiting from Los Angeles and I want to tell everyone to come here. I had fried fish and grits with a side of macaroni. Chef Jeff and his daughter read more

I can't even take how great this place is. I had the bourbon street love it was absolutely ridiculously. Gotta come and check this place out! read more

We didn't want to get dressed up to go eat when we visited. I stumbled upon this little gem and I'm so glad we did. The flavor is outstanding and the bread pudding was one of the best tasting I've ever had. I literally wanted to go back the next day. We ordered the popular chicken dish and the popular fish dish and I'm still dreaming about it til this day. Yummmmmmm!!! read more

My friend found this place on Yelp w/ good reviews so we decided to make this a lunch spot during our weekend trip in NOLA. The area seemed a bit shady but we had no issues. Once we arrived, we asked for a table for 7 and they had us take a table outside (the inside is really small). It was blistering hot and we just finished our Garden District tour, however, the idea of having lunch on a sidewalk was quite entertaining for us so we decided to give it a go. The waitress was a sweetheart! She was super nice, welcoming, and very attentive. She was knowledgeable of the menu and made recommendations. Sitting outside on some lawn chairs, we were not expecting anything too fancy.. just amazing food. However, the chef plated our food like a 5-star restaurant! And the food was indeed amazing. I got the blackened fish topped with crab and a lemon cream sauce. The fish was fresh and melty and the cream sauce was flavorful. My husband ordered the red beans w/ chicken. The red beans had those pieces of pork it simmered in for that extra flavor and the chicken was tender and crispy. Also.. DAT SHYT lives up to its name.. do not look that over! After our meals, the chef came out to greet us and thanked us for stopping by. Even with sitting in the heat, we enjoyed our experience and thought the tan lines were worth it, lol! That said, I would recommend either taking it to-go or stopping by on a cooler day. Either way, just go! read more

Found this place on Yelp. Was visiting out of town and looking for something gooooood to eat. Its small little place, not a full restaurant, but they have about two or three tables inside and they had just set up outside setting. We ordered the 'dat fries', superdome, bourbon st love, and 'dat shyt' drink. The dat fries was the best thing!! They were so delicious, definitely wanted to order it again!!! The superdome looks better than it taste. Dont get me wrong it was good, but I expected it to be better. The onion rings were AMAZING! So crispy, but still the onion was soft. The chicken that comes with the bourbon st love taste as if cheese was added to the batter. So the chicken had a cheesy taste to it. The mac was ok. the dat shyt was soooooooo sweet lol diabetic coma. All and all I would recommend this place especially the dat fries. Good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Enjoy! read more

Great food and even better people. Exceptional, focused menu with daily specials. Etouffee was uniquely sweet but with a nice spice bite. We also tried the Bourbon St, super dome, and the blackened ribeye. Topped off with some bread pudding read more

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

Amazingly delicious southern food. Excellent prices. It's more of a take your food to go spot. Just one small table inside and a couple picnic benches outside with mosquitos joining you. I wouldn't recommend riding your bike here unless you know your way around town. We did just that and it was a bit sketchy, though nothing happened. We had red beans, fried fish, shrimp and grits. Probably the best plate I've eaten here so far! read more

Hidden Gem for sure. I came here after the place we originally wanted for lunch was closed. Heard dat did not disappoint. I ordered the Mardi Grad Mambo and my husband had the Fish with yellow rice and crawfish sauce. It took a little minute to get the food but boy it didn't disappoint. The fish was huge and flavorful. The sides were great. And the potato salad was everything. We will definitely be ordering from again. I hope this spots stays in the neighborhood. read more

Highly recommend!! Thank you Chef Jeffery for an amazing meal! Your food is so yummy and so perfect. We love your restaurant. It is clear you put all your talent and love of cooking into creating a special place for your customers. Tia, thank you making us feel right at home and your wonderful hospitality. We look forward to visiting again our next time in Nola! read more

Superdome is the most dang delicious meal I've eaten in this town. Super nice people, came out fast, and the textures and flavors were outta this world. Highly Recommend. read more

This food is SO DAMN GOOD !! The portion size was just right. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Even the potato salad! And I DONT experiment with other people's potato salad!!!! But Heard Dat Kitchen made me a believer! And the evening cashier/server Ms. Tia even brought our food out to the curbside for us! Great food, great service! We'll be back! read more

Walk-up ordering window with inside counter seating or sit outside at one of the tables. Staff is invested in whether you are satisfied with your meal or not. Cook came out to our table and chat. Would recommend the Bourbon Street; chicken on a bed of shrimp mac & cheese. read more

What a great experience! This place is in a little bit sketchy part of town, but worth the trip. We did family style with our group and got to try a lot of the dishes. They were all wonderful! Chef Jeff came to chat with us. He was so humble and clearly cares about his food and customers. I highly recommend if you are in New Orleans and want some good southern cooking! read more

Had take out food here. The place has really good cajun soul food. The portions are a little small. And we had to wait twice as long as they said. But the taste of there food makes up for the mistakes read more

I can not tell you all how many times I have been driving down Felicity and tried to figure out what this building is. Today was the day i found out. My partner just bought a house one street over and we were looking for something we hadn't had before. These guys popped up on Groupon and without any hesitation we went. The food was cooked to order so don't expect to walk in and walk out. I knew by it not being pre-made that we were in for a treat. Chef Jeff is on it. I'm not sure how I haven't heard about him yet but this has to change. I had the Superdome and I'm sure you've already read plenty of reviews about it. It's everything they described and more. I also had the crawfish fries. Yum-o! I am a stickler about taking pictures but this time I dove right in without a second thought. The only bad thing about this place is it being literally steps from her house. Be careful what you ask for. You want to learn self control and then BOOM you find yourself having to exercise it everyday. #ThoughtsAndPrayers read more

Simply put this place is a hidden gem of soul food, if you want a place that is all about the food and no pretense, this is your spot, everything on the menu is great and the Gumbo is AMAZING. read more

Staff here are super friendly. The server was always checking in on me to see how things were. The chef even stopped by to say 'hello'. I got the Bourbon Street fried chicken. The meat was really moist and the batter was crispy - two crucial components to solid fried chicken. However, I felt like they overloaded on the seasoning. It was too salty for my tastes. The chicken came with macaroni and cheese which was creamy and delicious and potato salad which was good but nothing to write home about. Overall a very enjoyable experience but a little less than what I expect out of a 5 star Yelp place. read more

Now, I've had some pretty good bread pudding, but nobody does it like Heard Dat! Their bread pudding is soooo bomb! They drench it in caramel & wow!!! A must have! read more

First time here and definitely would be returning. Hole in the wall with amazing food and great service. Our server Tia was super sweet. I had the crawfish corn bread, bourbon street chicken with macaroni, and potato salad and finished with bread. The crawfish sauce is really good and the chicken is fried just how it should be! read more

Legendary! I had the Bourbon St Plate and a side of Dat Fries. Everything was SO delicious, staff and chef friendly and accommodating, wonderful experience! If I loved near here it would be a problem or a blessing, depending on if you ask my ass or my heart. Be prepared to sit outside and hope for a breeze, or take it to go. Love you Heard Dat! read more

First day in NOLA & this is our first meal here and it did not disappoint! We got the Bourbon street & crawdat fries, both were sooo delicious!! And the customer service was good as well! Very friendly! You're gonna miss out if you don't try this place. read more

Heard Dat Kitchen - Bourbon street & crawdat fries, amaaaaazing! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This place was amazing! Looks a little sketchy from the outside but man was the food on point! My favorite was the fried chicken!!! Wish I could go back. And don't forget that dat shit. Which is basically cool aid but bomb! Liquor store inside so if you want to make "datshit" better with some vodka. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Try the fried chicken. Definitely the best I've ever had. The menu only has a few things, but I wanted to eat everything. The staff was really friendly; chef Jeff came out and chatted with us. read more

This place is a gem in a sea of tourist driven destinations! Off the beaten path, but only ten blocks from our hotel on St. Charles Avenue. Tia and her father own and run the place- take-out in the front, but tucked away in back is a sit down dining room from 1-4. Tia took amazing care of us! Thanks read more

Listen... pictures don't lie. These reviewers didn't lie either. Arriving, you may be a little alarmed by a few things. Sometimes you may see an unfortunate crackhead sighting. You may see sketchy people on the corner. DO NOT BE ALARMED. These things are just the devil trying to keep you from the reason why you're reading this review. You want some of this Heard Dat Kitchen cuisine. Go ahead and go in there. I walked in and was given the option to pick my table inside. Yes, as of Essence-fest weekend, you can dine inside. I tried the Dat Shyt punch which really tasted like Koolaid. I'm good with that. Then I got the Mardi Gras Mamba (I think that's the name). It was the fried fish with peas, mac&cheese and potato salad. It was all very very very good. I loved the potato salad more than anything. Definitely wasn't made by Karen . I'm not a fan of bread pudding but I ordered it so i could write the review...it wasn't soggy yet still moist. Had a delicious caramel sauce on it. Very tasty. I will be back to try other menu items read more

Don't let this place's modest appearance fool you. The food and the service are both top-notch. The shrimp and grits were a perfectly balanced, indulgent flavor explosion. The fried chicken won a prize for a reason. The catfish couldn't have been done better. Go out of your way to come here. You will not regret it. read more

Amazing food. Bourbon Street, and the Superdome where our go to's and we did not regret it. Service was great as well! Tia was very charming read more

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

My family and I were visiting from Boston and were hoping to get some good southern food. However, all that resulted from eating at this place was terrible food poisoning. I ordered the seafood extravaganza and it was the worst decision of my life. I was throwing up for over 36hrs. I would recommend being very careful when ordering from here, or to avoid it all together. The food was presently nicely, but proved to be deadly. read more

If you want crappy food on a pretty plate don't come here. If it's all about the food and friendly service come here. Do the Superdome. A blend of flavors and spices that are incredible. Family owned and operated. read more

OMG Amaze, tasty, delicious creole, soul food goodness. Owner came out an introduced himself and made us feel welcome. Thanks! read more

The Bourbon Street with crawfish sauce is SO DELICIOUSLY GOOD. I know I shouldn't finish the whole thing in one sitting (it's monstrous) but I can't help it. Drinks are very sugary, but what else would you expect from sweet tea in the south? I've only ordered this through a delivery service so I can't speak to the ambience, but the fact that the chicken is always perfectly crisp when it arrives, which is difficult for most places to achieve, says a lot. I heard dat! read more

It was CLOSED,,,no warning, website showed it to be open. The building looked really old, n a shack. The person standing outside said it's been closed an didn't know of a website. Very disappointing, especially when we were driving around lost!!! read more

I understand WHY they have five stars. I felt like I was having a meal at my family's home. Tia skillfully and with much care personified southern hospitality and her pride in her family. I had the Superdome and lost- my mind. That crawfish sauce was RIDICULOUS!!! Those GRITS!?!? Feather-light goodness rests in your palate. You MUST stop in for a meal. read more

The Bourbon street was the bomb!!!! Will definitely return to this spot anytime in on NOLA & chef Jeff is the man !! I called him a week B4 our trip to NOLA and told him that we don't eat pork and he made us side dishes without the pork ... Thanks read more

YALL. When I say this is the absolute BEST New Orleanian food I've had. My colleague comes here on the daily so I decided to give them a try. Had the Mardi Gras Mambo and DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN. Customer service is A1 and good is TO DIE FOR. Do yourself a favor and get here ASAP read more

Walked half an hour to get here through some shady areas just for it to be closed even though all sources (Yelp, website, etc.) state it should be open. What a dissapointment. read more

I had the super dome and it was just average. Didn't stand out much. It wasn't something I wouldn't be able to find any where else. It was also kinda of small for $17. And the lobster had fat on it. I've never experienced that before so idk what kind of lobster it was. read more

I ordered delivery here using Uber Eats. I ordered the craw dat fries and the Superdome. The crawdat fries were really good. The sauce was rich and delicious. The only thing I didn't like was it seemed like the fries were cooked in old grease and didn't taste fresh. The Superdome was really good as well. There were some good chunks of lobster in it. The I was not a huge fan of the potatoes with the blackened fish. It may have been better on top of a small portion of angel hair or other pasta. I also had Dat Shyt. It was good, but really sweet. I could have used more ice in the cup to cut the sugar a bit. Overall, I was happy with my meal and would order from their again if I were in New Orleans. read more

Where do I start. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the fried chicken plate and it was some of the best chicken that I have ever had. And I am from North Carolina and we know fried chicken. Everything from the mac & cheese to the peas, it was ALL GOOD. Don't get me started on the bacon fries, amazing! I missed the fried chicken festival but this made up for it. read more
