The food was absolutely excellent! Family owned restaurant. We had the opportunity to meet the chef/owner as well as his children, everyone was super friendly. I had the Mardi Gras Mambo and my husband had the Bourbon Street Love. Mac and Cheese base was out of this world. The sweet tea is also a must get. Keep doing what you're doing Chef Jeff!!!! We will definitely be back. read more

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

Our Uber driver recommended Heard Dat and I am glad I tried it. It is carryout style with benches outside. There was a nice crowd around lunch time but we got to the front of the line pretty quick. I ordered the Dat Red Bean Plate with Fried Fish. The beans were flavorful and the fish was seasoned and fried perfectly. My food was still hot after a 10 min Uber ride. I also got the bread pudding and the red punch. The bread pudding was really good and moist. The punch was okay nothing special but I would get it again. Our food came out really fast. I will return when I visit again. read more

Amazing food, amazing service! I came here after a night out (hungover) the food literally brought me back to life. Very homey feel and everyone was so nice. We will definitely be back! read more

Saw some good reviews about this place so I decided to give them a try. Its in a little bit of a rough neighborhood about a mile north of the Garden District. Kinda dark at night - they need some street lights around there ! I ordered the Superdome which was a great piece of fish adorned with lobster cream sauce, corn, mashed p, and some onion rings to boot. What a great entree...and the prices were incredibly reasonable. I didnt see any kind of dine in area but there were picnic tables outside. Dont know if thats always the case or just a COVID thing. In any case getting my dish in a to-go box really did it an injustice. The presentation would have been gorgeous if it were properly plated. But then maybe it would cost more too =) Seemed like nice people running the place and the food is a massive bargain compared to similar dishes served in the touristy areas. Give it a try. read more

We ate here but also a great place to order for take home. Note- if you want to eat here you can BYOB. read more

Stay the hell away from corporate restaurants in NOLA. Get out in the neighborhood and go to Heard Dat. You can taste the love in Jeff's food. He takes the time to finish the roux. The spices are right on. I normally have the super dome but had the crawfish Etouffe this time. It was incredible. Save room for the bread pudding. The sauce is so sweet and tasty. Well done chef. read more

This takes the cake the best hole in the wall. This is truly soul food. They're Superdome special is absolutely amazing.

Got some food delivered from this place via Postmates for a picnic lunch. Was it cheap? Not exactly. Was it good? Heck yeah! Most of the entrées here range from $14-20. I ordered the red beans dish with blackened fish, as well as an extra side of potato salad and some bread pudding. I ate off my order twice, but if I hadn't added the desert and extra side I probably could have finished it in one go. I'm glad that they offer blackened as an option for the fish. The red beans and rice were solid; no salt or hot sauce needed. The bread pudding was good, very dense and moist, yet retain its shape perfectly. The surprisingly star? The potato salad. Unexpectedly savory and spicy, I could've eaten a whole bowl of just that potato salad. Other things to note: at the time of writing this review, the restaurant does not offer indoor dining. They do have some outdoor tables, but they're less than ideal because.they don't have much reliable shade. Also, judging by the bars on the windows and doors of nearby businesses, the neighborhood that the restaurant is in might be a bit sketchy. But that's what delivery is for so give them a shot! read more

The food is fresh, hot, and delicious! And did I mention the lovely presentation? I accidentally ordered a salad - I thought it was a side. Turned out to be a meal. It was delicious! I'm going to get another right now! Or maybe a fish dinner. Or chicken! Doesn't matter. It's all good! read more

I would eat from here everyday for the rest of my life. Death row meal, hungover, breakfast idc!!! I want that bread pudding injected in my veins, I was licking the container!!!! shoutout to the industrious and sweet little young man who took our order. read more

Pros Batter was seasoned Fish fried to perfection Friendly staff and patient Lined containers with foil to prevent leakage Reasonable prices Good sized portions Food served hot and fresh (Don't rush the Cook!!) Cons No inside sitting area No local seafood Walk up orders take a little long (order ahead!!!) The fried food was properly fried and was not overly greasy. The batter was flavorful and crispy. The shrimp was small but good. I could eat a basket of them. The fish was decent but I rather eat catfish instead of the fish that was served. The fish is super thin and it dried out closer the ends. At those areas, you are just eating batter. The chicken batter had a great crunch and it was delicious. I could not eat any portion of the chicken. I'm skeptical of any chicken without a bone, so my review does reflect the quality of the chicken thigh. read more

We ate at so many different restaurants this trip and this was in the top 3 for sure! The service was friendly and welcoming! They recommended the gumbo combo and I was blown away. And she went above and beyond with the extra grilled cheese. The Mac and cheese was the best we had tried. So much flavor and so creamy. My girls not a pea person and she smashed those too. It was a vibe and we will be back! read more

we ordered the superdome (blackened fish with onion rings and potato mash) and bourbon street love (fried chicken with mac and cheese). both were delicious and incredibly filling even though they don't look that massive in the takeout boxes. the fried chicken was just so flavorful and the fish was perfectly cooked, and they gave a large portion of protein as well for both dishes. definitely recommend and would try again next time we're in nola. read more

The food was mouth watering! Only took like 10-15 mins to get 3 entrees. Lots of outdoor seating. Ended up taking food to city park because we are in from out of town. Best food we had on our whole trip though. Definitely check it out. read more

I'm a bit disappointed because I've been eyeballing this restaurant and looking at the reviews for a minute. I'm not sure if I caught them on a bad day or what not but I ordered "Dat Plate" and "Mardi Gras Mambo". The fried chicken on the dat plate was a bit over cooked. The Mac and cheese on both plates tasted like noodles with milk and a hint of shredded cheese. And the potato salad lacked flavor as well. Hopefully this was just a bad day and maybe I can experience what the other reviewers experienced one day. read more

While the restaurant is more of a take out business, they do have a counter inside and picnic tables outside on the sidewalk. We ate at the counter and had a delicious meal. My dining companion and I ordered two different meals so we could taste each other's. We tried blackened fish and blackened chicken. Both were delicious. Only disappointment was my cornbread was dry. Her beans were unlike anything I've ever tasted.....sorry I didn't order a side to add to my meal! The only thing that was a bit disappointing was our meals were ready at different times, even though we ordered together. It is much nicer to eat "together" than one after the other. But, with that said, we'd eat there again the next time we are in New Orleans. read more

It doesn't matter how many times we have been, you arrive excited knowing you are about to dine on some of the best food in the city. My wife orders the usual, I try something different, and it's always out of this world. The fact that Tia serves you is a major plus. Mike & Leslie read more

10/10 BEST FOOD we've had in NOLA this weekend. Get the bourbon street love and you won't regret it. The only thing we regret is not getting two!! It is away from the French quarter and main area but totally worth it! Seating is on picnic tables so dress for that but definitely make it a stop on your visit to town! read more

This was our first time eating here and we will certainly be back again soon! The crawdat cornbread was sweet and the sauce on top was very good. The sauce on the Heard Dat Pasta was creamy and flavored well. My only complaint was the bread pudding was rather hard, even after we stuck it in the microwave! Being a small business owner myself, I will always give props where they are due! Great job to the Heard Dat Kitchen! read more

I was extremely satisfied with the experience I had with Heard That Kitchen. It was on the outskirts of Downtown which gave you a different view of the downtown area. We had to order inside the building then eat in the patio section. We started off with Dat Fries which came with a zesty dance and candied bacon. The fries were cooked crispy that blended well with the toppings. I got the Bourbon Street Love with came with Mac and cheese topped with a fried chicken breast as cream sauce. The entree was immaculate. The cream sauce was the sauce that made every bite pleasurable. My friends got the Dat Plate. One had fried chicken and the other had fried catfish. They were both pleased with the entree. I recommend that you try this restaurant if you have the time. read more

sooooo flavorful! The mac and cheese and blackened fish was sensational... a little out of the way, but worth it!!

Bourbon Street Love: Southern style fried chicken served over macaroni and cheese, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, signature Crawdat cream sauce, green onions and served with a side of potato salad. And an order of bread pudding. 4.5 stars, only because the potato salad was such a small portion. But the flavor of everything, beyond good! FYI, do not expect to dine-in, this is a call ahead for an order to go restaurant. It is definitely worth it if you feel like staying in from the heat while enjoying a good meal. read more

I waited 10 minutes for food that had been ordered online. Restaurant was dirty. Staff is slow and lazy. They do not care. Very small portions for a 25 dollar plate of food. It's also in a horrible neighborhood. Don't forget your pepper spray read more

This place is a hole in the wall and nothing to write home about visually. However, the food is DELICIOUS! You order your food at a window inside the building which you get rather quickly. There is no seating inside but they have some picnic tables set up outside. We were going to take it to go but decided to eat it there when we took one look at the food. It was not going to make it the ride back to the hotel. Definitely another go to place in New Orleans for great tasting food. read more

Wow!! I'm so glad I tried this place out! I ordered from UberEats and had The Superdome and omgggg it was DELICIOUS!! The lobster cream sauce was amazing yet not overly heavy or dense. It was light and fresh, the flavor profile was incredible! The little bits of corn mixed in really make the sauce and the entire dish pop. They cooked it up super quick, and my meal arrived in record time. Would definitely highly recommend!!! read more
