Stuffed avocado on toast ($16.95)
Christopher Q.

Food:2/5 Service:4/5 Ambience:4/5 I ordered a stuffed avocado on toast for breakfast. It was ok, but it only came with one piece of toast! It also only came with 3 mozzarella balls. I was pretty dissatisfied with the portions. The food came out relatively quick. Good service. Interior was interestingly lined with different displays. Unique ambience. Overall I would not recommend this place, it was ok.

The charbroiled oysters were good. Got there and was not advised of when the kitchen planned to close so missed out on dessert. Just based on my experience, I can say I tried it.

Located in the Renaissance Hotel, just a block away from Bourbon, sits Legacy Kitchen Tacklebox. Very nice upscale bar and restaurant featuring a tap bar as well as a full bar service area. I wanted a snack to help me power through the day till dinner. I can't help but to have have some comforts: red beans and rice, crawfish etoufee, and gumbo. I tell you, what a treat. Good flavors. I like all of them equally. I would definitely visit again next time I am in town.

Beignet-wich
Emanuel W.

Here in town for another round of Tales of the Cocktail and I stopped by to get lunch while waiting for my room to be ready. I had the All American Beignet-wich, which was incentive and delicious. I also had the cheese grits which were very average for me. I did appreciate the $3 lunch beer. Very quiet in here but I feel like it could get a little wild during some times of the day.

Let's cut to the chase...the food is Okay. Now for the details. I work in the area so it was a short walk to meet my brother here for a quick lunch. We opted to sit at the bar. Our bartender was cool. It's Mardi Gras season so there's a couple of seasonal drinks. I tried the pineapple parade drink. It was good, weak...but good still. I expected that in a touristy area. Everything is always as far as drinks are concerned. We got 2 orders of Chargrilled oysters which is usually by the dozen but they sell theirs with 8. I was shocked to see that came up to $28/an order. while oysters can be expensive, this pricing is another tourist trap. They tasted decent tho. I got the salmon with Brussels sprouts for my entree and my brother got the fried seafood platter. The Brussels sprouts were honestly the star on my plate. The salmon was pretty good paired with it. My brother's seafood platter was piled and had a lot of food. Definitely enough to share. Personal preference though, I feel it could've been seasoned a little better. While I know this isn't a rave review, I have to say, the food was okay. The prices just don't match the taste. Again...it was okay. lol

Stopped in on a Sunday night and still got delicious food. Service was good, food was very tasty, and the drinks were good too. I had the New Orleans trio and my wife had the red fish. She got a side of the cabbage to go and it was delicious. Good spot to check out for some local flavors and a nice atmosphere.

Beignet Bites half cinnamon half sugar
Jen S.

This place seems to be hit and miss on food and service. Had exceptional service Sat morning with amazing beignet bites and scrumptious breakfast sandwich. The female server was attentive and helpful. A great experience. So we went back Sun morning and order beignets and gravy - yuck... chewy beignets clearly just heated up. So different from the fantastic mini ones we received the day before. Service was slow and inattentive, exact opposite of our prior experience. So a solid three stars.... might be fantastic, might be awful.

Bananas foster bread pudding w vanilla bean ice cream
Lemuel Y.

I only had dessert and drinks, so that's what I'm reviewing. The bananas foster bread pudding w vanilla bean ice cream is a must have. Their bar setup is visibly small, but the selection is notable. They actually have some Haitian rum on deck, which you're not likely to find at many venues. Also they had some interesting looking mezcal selections that I will be back to sample. Service was friendly and excellent and the ambiance was was whole vibe with the musical selections that were varied and at perfect decibel to enjoy but not interrupt conversations. Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting the 504. It's in the Renaissance hotel on Common. I wish my memory served me to remember names readily, but one of the bartenders, a local, that works the day shift til 3 was a whole vibe. Even if the food had not been to my liking I'd have been back to drink off her representation alone.

Menu 1: 11/2024.
Jennifer B.

This was recommended by an Uber driver, saying she had a great time celebrating her birthday that she and her fam came back a second time the same week. That sold Hubbers, so he took it upon himself to decide this is where next dinner is. It was only a few minutes' walk from our hotel, so it was pretty convenient. I wasn't really hungry since I had a snack a couple of hours prior, but I thought the Grand Tower was a good idea to share with my party of 4. Paired that with a Bloody Mary. It is plenty for a starter. 6 fresh shucked oysters, 6 charbroiled oysters, 6 shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon dip and crawfish remoulade. It's practically a meal for two! The oysters were fantastic, but I think my favorite here are the dip and remoulade. Loved the smoked aroma from the salmon and the crawfish tails on the remoulade. Don't get me wrong: the oysters were great as well as the shrimp (bigger than normal) but the salmon dip did it for me! My party ordered their own dishes, but I was set with sharing the tower. And to finish it off: an order of beignets to cleanse the palate. Someone in my party said they liked it better than Cafe du Monde's version! FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 4. Our server, Tiana was attentive in a non-stalkerish way. VALUE: 4. More than fair! PARKING: Street only as far as I know. I didn't see any lots nearby. OVERALL: 4. Gotta give credit to Hubbers for the good call. Would recommend!

charbroiled oyster
Nina H.

As a tourist, I like this restaurant! I picked this restaurant cuz I lived in renaissance hotel. This place is pretty popular for local people I had a chance to try their charbroiled oyster! Omg it is so gooooood Also I love their recommendation of daily catch gulf fish! So good As a tourist, I had a chance to try their local dishes, they are good and within reasonable price! It is a great place to dine at! Not that touristy, and waiter's recommendation is great!

Southern Georgia chicken sandwich
Mikki E.

A few strangers I met while on my trip mentioned Tacklebox to me, and I decided to slide on in and give them a go. Listen here, best decision to end my night. Eve provided me and my new friends with 5-star service. She's great at her job, very kind and attentive. She made great suggestions with the menu. She customized our drinks based on what we typically would drink. Girlfriend knows her way around the bar, trust!!! She's so amazing! I will be back for sure she gave me excellent NOLA customer service. The restaurant was empty but still a steady crowd flowing in. I sat at the bar and was able to see all the action outside. It was nice to witness a NOLA wedding parade right outside the window. Now, let's talk about the food because I know that's what you came here for... I ordered the southern Georgia chicken sandwich with fries.... Babay, it did what it was supposed to do. So juicy and full of flavor that were well balanced out. The sauce on the chicken had the perfect amount of heat and sweetness. The bread was buttery and soft. Honestly, there was nothing special about the slaw on top, but it worked altogether. I would highly recommend this dish, but next time I visit, I hope I'm bold enough to try the oysters. They looked so mouthwatering. The liquor in my system almost gave me liquid courage. I grabbed some beignets to go. I did the original flavor and the cinnamon sugar. Sorry ya'll, by the time I remembered to snap a picture I only had 3 left out of the 2 bags.... I'll leave it there cause I already feel guilty for my gluttonous behavior

I came here under advice of my lovely nephew. I ordered the original chicken sandwich-mild, an…read moreorder of fries, and a drink. My order was delivered to me in a short time and I set to eat. Guys, it was THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I'D EVER HAD. It was lava hot, juicy, and greasy. It was also absolutely delicious. I was concerned that the thigh meat was going to taste different. But I could not tell.The fries were crinkle cut, but were seasoned well. Didn't even need ketchup for them. The place is very clean and they had 80s music playing in the background, my favorite decade of music. Not surprising, being an 80s kid. The damage all told, including a tip, was $25. Is it expensive? Yes. Is the quality and quantity of the food commensurate to the price? Also yes. Is it worth the hype? ABSOLUTELY YES. I was also informed there's a Hammond location. I will definitely bring my family there, as it's closer, to try them out as well.

With its humble beginnings from a food truck to several locations around southern Louisiana. Please…read morerefer to the website for locations. We went to the restaurant in New Orleans (Metairie). It is off Veterans Blvd. It is on the right side as you are driving east. Please be on the lookout. Otherwise, you might pass it by. Tends to spring up and drive by. We almost missed it. This is a fantastic location! Kinda tight and almost missed it. Parking is very limited. If you get discouraged you cannot find a good parking spot. I believe you may park on back street? Do not hold me to that. Worst case, you can always get your order to go. It was our first time. We were curious about and not many restaurants offer fresh made pork cracklings. Usually you have to buy it at a local market or know someone. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They briefly went over a few recommendations. We started with of course, order of adobo fresh pork cracklings. Adobo or traditional** crispy pork belly, adobo sauce, topped with garlic peanut rub Southerns Queso burger - 6 oz. beef patty*, pickled jalapeño, queso, beer battered onion ring with order of fries. Tender meal - Choose your spice level. 3 jumbo chicken tenders, fries, and tender sauce. (Mild) Southerns Original Chicken Sandwich - Choose your spice level. Boneless chicken thigh, Yuzu aioli, slaw, housemade pickle. (Mild) I was curious about the Phuket Sauce. So I got an order too. This tastes great! Not spicy at all. Do not let the pepper fool you. It has a little kick but not spicy at all. All are well seasoned. Few of them you can choose your spice level. We all washed down with fountain drinks. They do offer catering services and possibly call ahead ordering. Please reach out to them for options. If you are in the mood for something different but great food. Give them a try if in the area.

During my visit, I decided to stop by Gallier's Seafood & Oyster Bar, conveniently located near Canal Street in downtown New Orleans and less than 0.5 miles from the hotel!!! If you're looking for a casual place to enjoy some Louisiana flavors without all the craziness of Bourbon Street, this is definitely a spot worth checking out!!!Chill and local... First, let's talk about CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Because for me, a restaurant experience is NEVER just about the food!!! The way customers are treated can make or break the entire experience!!! And I'm happy to say the customer service here was GREAT!!! The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made my visit even more enjoyable!!! There's something about genuine Southern hospitality that makes you feel comfortable and appreciated!!! Now let's talk about FOOD!!! Because that's obviously the main reason I walked through the door!!! Haha!!!I ordered the GRILLED SHRIMP with GREEN BEANS and FRENCH FRIES!!! Yes, I know!!! I'm in NEW ORLEANS, surrounded by gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish, oysters, and alligator dishes, and I decided to order grilled shrimp with vegetables!!! Haha!!! But what can I say?! Sometimes you just want a simple seafood meal without going completely crazy!!! I actually liked having a combination of seafood, vegetables, and fries on one plate!!! A little protein, a little green, and a little fried happiness!!! Because let's be serious...French fries make almost everything better!!! Haha!!! One thing worth mentioning is that Gallier's is especially known for its OYSTERS!!! They offer raw oysters as well as charbroiled oysters with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese!!! And if you're feeling adventurous, there are other Louisiana specialties to explore, including alligator and traditional Creole dishes!!! Now let's talk about ATMOSPHERE!!! The restaurant has a casual, lively, and comfortable vibe!!! Nothing overly fancy or intimidating!!! Just the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, enjoy your food, and take a little break from exploring the city!!! And LOCATION?! Very convenient!!! It's just a block away from Canal Street, surrounded by hotels, businesses, and plenty of downtown attractions!!! Whether you're visiting NOLA for business, attending a convention, or simply exploring the city, it's an easy restaurant to add to your itinerary!!! MY FINAL THOUGHTS!!! What stood out to me most during my visit was the GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Good food is important, but friendly and attentive employees make the experience so much better!!! I always appreciate a restaurant where guests are treated warmly, and Gallier's delivered on that part!!! Would I recommend checking it out?! YES!!! Especially if you're a seafood lover looking for a relaxed dining experience in downtown New Orleans!!! And one final thought...you can leave NOLA but somehow NOlA FOOD never leaves your mind!!! Haha!!! BON APPÉTIT, Y'ALL!!!

Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit!

The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.

There were a few pleasant surprises that I experienced. First, I don't know why, but I expected a hole-in-the-wall establishment. But it was a beautifully updated restaurant with a nice square bar in the center. It's light and bright with a lot of space. I was greeted warmly and sat quickly at the bar. Note, that reservations are required to sit at a table. Walk-up guests must sit at the bar. I was alone so I normally sit at the bar anyway. I was pleasantly welcomed by Nicole who immediately asked if I wanted water or any other drink to start. I got sweet tea since it's my favorite nonalcoholic drink. I ordered the 1/4 chicken dark meat with a side of macaroni & cheese and a piece of cornbread. 2nd surprise. The chicken is spicy, which I forgot from all the shows I've watched about the chicken here. It's just enough to give it a little heat and added flavor. The batter is light and crispy with a hint of buttermilk. The meat is super juicy and delicious. 3rd surprise. I didn't know I would love the Mac and cheese so much. It was more savory than cheesy, which made it stand out above others I've had. The cornbread muffin was a great tie-in with its slightly sweet honey flavor. Savory and sweet. Tender and crunchy. It covered all of the requirements for a perfectly balanced meal. The service was excellent with that perfect Southern touch of sweetness and hospitality.

My only gripe was that we booked a reservation weeks in advance for our party of 9 and paid a $20 deposit per person to hold that reservation. Upon arriving at the restaurant 10 minutes before our reservation, we were told our table has JUST been given to someone else and that we would have to wait on the waiting list, as well as numerous shrugs. After a second conversation wherein I explained the situation and the disappointment we were experiencing, the manager got lucky and had a couple of tables leave at once and we were sat in an improvised spot for our party. I would have appreciated some accountability and understanding from the management there. We were not offered any sort of compensation or even a visit from the manager once we were seated. Food - Amazing. Service - Excellent. Prices - Fair. Reservation Adherence- A little shaky.

The food is consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. They're almost always busy, so I definitely recommend putting your name on the waitlist as soon as possible because the wait can get pretty long. My biggest complaint, though, is the service. Unfortunately, it's been an issue pretty much every time I've visited. The servers often seem a little disengaged, forget things we ask for, and take a long time to bring out food or other items. During my most recent visit, the table next to us had their food brought out before we had even placed our order, even though we had been seated first. It honestly felt like our server had forgotten about us completely. We shouldn't have to keep trying to get someone's attention just to place an order or get the things we need. I understand that restaurants get busy, but there's a difference between being busy and making your customers feel overlooked. It's frustrating because the food is genuinely so good, and the service doesn't match the quality of the experience. Overall, I still love this place and will probably keep coming back because the food is that good! I just really wish the service were more attentive, organized, and welcoming. With better service, this place would be even harder to beat.

Another great reason to visit is their daily happy hour, traditionally offered from 3 PM to 6 PM, with oyster specials and discounted drinks. Definitely worth checking the current promotions before visiting!!! New Orleans has a fascinating French and German cultural heritage, and Luke brings those influences together beautifully through its brasserie concept. The hostess was lovely, and our server was very welcoming and friendly!!! However, one thing that I found a little strange was the seating situation...Apparently, reservations are highly recommended, even though there were plenty of unoccupied tables when we arrived!!! We were told those tables were reserved, so we ended up sitting at the bar instead...And let me tell you, those backless bar stools are NOT comfortable at all!!! Haha!!! No back support means hello, back pain!!! Especially if you're planning to sit there for a while and enjoy your meal!!! I personally would have preferred a regular table with comfortable chairs.BUT I have to admit, the ambiance was pretty cool!!! So my suggestion? Make a reservation in advance and request a regular table unless you don't mind sacrificing a little back comfort for the bar experience!!! Voilà!!! No valet but you can use hotel's valet and there is paid public parking...

Stopped by here because I'd heard this was a classic New Orleans spot that's worth checking out…read more Fun fact: it's actually attached to the Hilton, which I didn't realize before visiting! Overall, the food was tasty, especially the seafood dishes. The green peppers were definitely spicier than I expected, so I ended up picking most of them out, but everything else was really flavorful. The portions are on the smaller side considering the price, so I'd keep that in mind when ordering. That said, the crispy Brussels sprouts absolutely live up to the reputation -- definitely one of the highlights! Service was another strong point. Everyone was attentive and friendly, and they checked in periodically without being overbearing. Everything felt pretty well managed throughout the meal The ambiance is more of a classic, casual diner-style setup, with dim lighting and paper-covered tables. Seating was comfortable overall, although the space felt a little tight in some areas Overall, if you don't mind paying a bit more for smaller portions, I'd still say this is a spot worth checking out while you're in New Orleans. The location is also super convenient if you're exploring around Bourbon Street, so it's an easy stop while checking out the area!

Plates are just like if a mom or grandma would have cooked your meal... I had the "Taste of New Orleans" which comes with Seafood Gumbo, Crawfish Etouffée, and Rice and Beans with Sausage, and it was absolutely delicious and very rich in flavor...this is the very definition of soulful food. Service was not the quickest, but they were pretty packed, so it's understandable. They did offer some really good suggestions though. So, if you come to Bourbon St and want to try local cajun and creole food, I highly recommend you to come here!

As we walked in, we were all greeted with a fist bump by Mr. T and Jonathan. Already feeling the love, we were taken upstairs where we met our server, Justice. She was warm and welcoming and took care of our group of 17. We never had empty drinks, our food came out fast AND hot, and she checked on us just enough to give us space but also make sure we were taken care of. DON'T miss this place. Justice provided top tier service and the food was AMAZING.
