    Grilled chicken on toast
    Diego M.

    This place is awesome. Everything you'd want from a poboy place. I don't really have much to say; it's perfect. Go here.

    sausage cheese egg biscuit. Big breakfast with two medium fried eggs, bacon toast, and grits.

    This little café was located near our hotel. It was listed under cheap eats. Great little café for a hot cooked breakfast. Small and quaint but very good. food was made to order and the service was great.

    Dynamite tasting breakfast sandwiches! Service was very friendly, though not overly fast- but for good reason, they are making your sandwich to order. Asked for a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. 4 slices of bacon and a good 2 eggs made this sandwich delicious. Also tried the meat pie and egg roll, because, why not? The meat pie had a great spice to it and was hot from a temperature standpoint even after a 20 minute walk back to the house. Egg roll tasted like an egg roll. Not much ambiance to the place, but there are several tables you can sit at, though everyone I saw was getting carry out. A constant stream of customers, though not crowded.

    This is a small old neighborhood diner sandwiched between buildings and streets. In fact, there are entrances from 2 different streets. We ordered shrimp po-boys dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo. The bread was fresh and the shrimp were breaded and cooked perfectly. They don't skimp in the shrimp. There's some in every bite. Sides are separate, so we ordered fries. They also have hot plate lunches and that looked good as well. Was less than $30 for lunch for 2. It's local New Orleans if that's what you are looking for. I do wonder why it was named Leo's Caboose though.

    Great mom and pop hole in the wall. I live not too far away and walk here once or twice a week. Super friendly staff with generous portions at a fair price. Breakfast is your standard fare with your eggs cooked to order and great daily lunch specials.

    Great little hole in the wall diner- delicious meatloaf and green bean special today. It ain't fancy, but it's good grandma style cooking!

In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand.

We arrived sans reservation, but were whisked straight into the courtyard -- arguably the best seat in the house on a pleasant Louisiana evening. Between the soft night air and the glow of the courtyard, the atmosphere alone deserved applause. The cocktails arrived first and immediately set a dangerously high standard: beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and the kind of drinks that make you consider canceling your plans afterward. Fortunately, the food rose to the occasion. The edamame and roasted Brussels sprouts disappeared with alarming speed, and the Amelie Salad was a standout -- generously portioned, fresh, vibrant, and substantial enough to be an entrée or ideal for sharing if you're pretending to be civilized. A special nod to Liz, who elevated the entire experience with spot-on recommendations, warm hospitality, and the rare ability to be both attentive and effortlessly relaxed. In a city famous for memorable dining, this meal still managed to feel special -- equal parts elegant, welcoming, and unmistakably New Orleans.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. 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.

The restaurant was packed, and the staff was moving nonstop--but what really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled despite how busy it was. The food? Easily a 10/10. The chicken had that perfect balance--crispy and slightly spicy on the outside, yet unbelievably juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell real care goes into it. The greens were cooked just right with a subtle hint of spice that gave them great flavor, and the slaw had a light sweetness that complemented everything perfectly. Service was just as impressive. My server, Tashena, was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing without missing a beat, even in the rush. You could tell she genuinely cared about the experience. I also have to shout out the manager, Whitney. She was incredibly uplifting, constantly cheering on her team and keeping the energy positive and motivated. That kind of leadership really shows in the overall experience. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I can confidently say this is a 1000/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back
