    Crawdat Cornbread and potato salad
    Tamika P.

    We dined at quite a few restaurants during our stay in New Orleans; however, this hidden gem was hands-down the BEST (we even recommended it to our Uber driver!). The restaurant is tiny, but don't let that fool you: the portions were plentiful, and the taste was unlike anything I've experienced before! Quick and friendly service, southern hospitality. It's definitely on our list of places to visit when we return!

    Absolutely insane food. Definitely suggest getting a little bit of everything and sharing if possible. Portions were extremely generous, especially considering the level of the food. The gumbo is probably some of the best I've had right after my maw maw's. I got it as a side, because I had to have it, and easily could have made it two meals. If you had to pick one dish to try, the Bourbon Street Love was phenomenal. The employees were so sweet and helpful. There was a nice breeze out and some shaded tables so we decided to enjoy everything outside. In such a foodie city, Heard Dat Kitchen was a real highlight of the trip. Just wow!

    Seafood extravaganza
    Goldie O.

    There's a lot of good food in New Orleans but there's only one heard dat kitchen. I found this spot on accident 5 years ago and it's been blessing me and my homegirls ever since! It's a little hole in the wall spot that probably can't hold more than 6 people inside so you know the food is going to be bussin! It's probably best you take it home anyway so you can make all the noises that you need to make comfortably without being judged lol You have to try them for yourself! When I tell yall I came here two days in a row because I was having withdrawals, I really mean that. I highly recommend the seafood extravaganza! I promise you will not be disappointed and If you are let me know so I can look you in your face and call you a liar. Shout out to my girl Esther that took care of me and I'll see yall when I'm back in town

    super flavorful and definitely worth it. The service was good and everyone was friendly. The space inside is a bit small and tight, but once the food comes out, you forget all about that. I'll definitely be back!

    cornbread with Crawdat sauce
    Simi O.

    So you land in New Orleans, stand in the heat waiting for an Uber at the airport, and finally make it to your hotel room after checking in at the front desk. You sink onto the couch in your room. Your stomach growls. But it is too late for breakfast and past lunch, almost dinner time. But you want to eat, now. What do you do? You hop on Uber Eats, scroll and find "Heard Dat Kitchen", order a few items, and it ends up being one of the best meals you've had in New Orleans and maybe one of the best meals you've ever had in your life. Everything I ordered on Uber Eats here (catfish over red beans and rice with cornbread and extra side of cornbread with Crawdat sauce) was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, delivered quickly, and piping hot, so you know it was fresh. Don't even question it, add it to your list of restaurants to try out.

    This stop was recommended to us by some friends and we were super glad that this was our first stop! Amazing food! Super happy with everything we ordered (crawdat Mac, Superdome, Gumbo, and Seafood Extravaganza). The service was also top tier, the lady chasing us out brought out our food and checked in on us. The chef even stopped by to see if we enjoyed everything. Definitely lives up to the statement on their wall "New Orleans best hole in the wall"

    Bourbon Street Love
    Taylor M.

    This place changed me, y'all. This is the definition of soul food. We wound up ordering multiple times over the span of a few days during our stay in NOLA. I will be dreaming about the food here until I go back. Get the side of green beans. Get the cornbread. You can't go wrong, truly.

    Was in New Orleans for 5 days and ate from her twice times.I wish I could have taken a to go with me. When I say EVERYTHING is delicious.... Zero lies told! Will come here every-time I come to town

    Seafood extravaganza
    Nickquolette B.

    OMG... this place is unassuming but should be world known. The food was so good. I will come here every time I'm in New Orleans.. no joke. Seasoned and fried perfectly - fish and shrimp with crawdat seasoning with angel hair sauce. I had the seafood extravaganza. My sister-in-law the bourbon street love which was chicken on top of Mac and cheese topped with shredded cheese with craddat cheese sauce and green onions. She also got and gumbo. All was fantastic! She brought me here as she was raving about it and now I am. You must check it out. It's a hole in the wall but the best hole in a wall there is. No formal seating. Take out mostly but we sat at the bar table and stools. They have outdoor seating but today was too cold. Soooo good. Trust me.... Sooooo good!

    One of the best spots!!!! The skeesh sauce is a must as is the Superdome dish. If they've got gumbo, definitely order that too.

    I'm sure this is already listed somewhere but the website has me confused. The restaurant website gives hours for every day of the week but says dining is only 11-4 on Tuesday through Saturday. Are they open for dinner on Saturdays?

    Yes they are open for dinner until 9pm.

    Menu says Uber eats, but I try searching for it, doesn't come up. How do you set up Uber eats to deliver?

    We have Uber eats and Waitr for deliver services. You have to be within a certain mile radius for them to deliver!

    Hot N Cajun With no seated tables available when I arrived…read moreat Hot'n Cajun Boil House on Iberville Street in New Orleans, I happily accepted a seat at the bar. Behind the bar, Sandy mixed me a Summer Peach (Absolute Vodka, real peach, sweet tea, fresh lemon, $14) and provided the bib and gloves I likely would need if in fact I wanted to enjoy a crawfish boil. Of the dozens of restaurants I've visited in New Orleans, rare is the menu that includes a crawfish boil. Hot'n Cajun has it. I asked the barkeep Sandy B. if it was still crawfish season, and she assured me that it was. So I ordered 3 pounds of boiled crawfish (including potatoes and corn on the cob, $25.99), asked that the seasoning be "medium", and Sandy brought me a Model ($9) with a neat Maker's Mark ($12). The experience was pretty close to what I remember we'd find if invited to a neighbor's crawfish boil. Three pounds sounds like a lot, but the yield is more like half a pound, at most. So I put the gloves and bib on and started in on the crawfish. Nice presentation, and very good, fresh crawfish.

    AMAZING 10/10 We got 1lb of crawfish for $10 and ordered…read moresome snow crab and corn as well. For the crawfish we chose the house cajun blend + mild spice, and for the crab we chose the Louisiana style dry rub + mild spice. It was absolutely delicious, and reasonably priced. Our server was even kind enough to demonstrate the proper way to eat the crawfish. I'd highly recommend this place.
