Everything was delicious. We also took pecan pie and banana pudding to go. The pecan pie was just pecan pie... nothing special. The bread pudding was moist and a little on the sweet side, but it would be great with ice cream. It definitely has a hole-in-the-wall feel, which I don't mind, but the place could use a good cleaning. Service was friendly, though the ordering process was confusing. We were told to order at the front, while the table behind us had their orders taken at the table. I'm not sure whether table service is usually offered, but a little clarity would help. The food was definitely the highlight!

The omelet is huge...folded over and topped with a savory crawfish etouffee. Really filling. The cheesy grits is smooth and filling. I just added a dash of salt and it's done! I could not finish.

Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's located directly on Poydras, but if you've already paid to park in one of the nearby garages then it's easily within walking distance. This place is less like a cafeteria, and more like a food court in the sense that they have several different stations located within the dining area- including a Hot Lunch Buffet, Grill, Deli, Soup station, Salad bar, and Frozen Yogurt bar, so there is quite literally something for everyone here! My mom and I usually split a salad from the salad bar, which offers three different types of lettuce/spinach and a huge selection of toppings and dressings. We also indulge in an order of french fries or onion rings from the grill from time to time. The grill serves a wide variety of items, from poboys, burgers and hot sausage to chicken and fish. I've tried a few items from the deli as well, including the tuna salad and shrimp remoulade, and both were delicious. I haven't tried the frozen yogurt bar yet, but I've noticed they have two flavors and several toppings available. The folks who work here are friendly and there is ample seating available in the dining room. I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area and looking for several food options located within the same space.

Creole Seafood Gumbo: The dark roux (resembling milk chocolate) combines nicely with the broth of ham hocks and veal. The stew contains treasures such as tender shrimp, smoked sausage, and sweet bits of blue crab, a chunk of chicken, and file powder. The star is the Creole chaurice sausage with a complex flavor and a little spiciness. Add some tangy Louisiana hot sauce. Barbecued Shrimp: The shrimp isn't grilled and it doesn't have any barbecue sauce. The shrimp are sautéed in a rich velvety sauce of butter, garlic, lemon, and black pepper. Your tastebuds will get a wake up call from the Creole seasonings and Worcestershire. Take the crusty French bread and dunk it in the savory and flavorful sauce. Crawfish étouffée: The little crawfish tails are smothered in a gravy based on a blond roux, seafood stock, and the holy trinity of onions, bell pepper, celery. The cayenne, paprika, celery salt, thyme, and garlic adds a nice layering of seasonings. The delicious sauce is served with steamed rice. Shrimp Clemenceau: This Creole dish is shrimp sautéed in garlic and butter. Then it's mixed with green peas, mushrooms, and diced potatoes. The potatoes are crispy and soft. Peach Cobbler: The cobbler is more like a mushy cake and the peaches are from a can. Get it with a scoop of ice cream.

So many people who are responsible for the lives of myself and other Black folks (a lot of what they risked their lives for extends to POC who don't even like us but that's a whole 'nutha story) being easier than those who came before us. Thank you, Dooky Chase for your role in the Civil Rights movement! My daughter and I had a 2pm reservation on a gorgeous, sunny (and hot) Friday afternoon. We arrived a few minutes early along with a couple of other parties who also had 2pm reservations. We were invited to wait at the bar. Well, the bar area is also a museum! With dranks. As we spoke to the kind, beautiful, wonderful and informative lady at the bar (a family member of Mrs. Leah Chase), she'd mentioned that Mr. James Baldwin used to sit in a corner of that very bar and write. I'm like, "that corner...right over there?" Yes, that corner. I had to go sit in Mr. Baldwin's corner. Wooosh! There is something about N'awlins. You can just feel the energy! Anywho, not long after, we were called and escorted to our table. The restaurant is so elegantly decorated. There's artwork all around. It's an experience and a half. Our waitress was great. Informative! She asked if we had any allergies and was very knowledgeable about every thing on the menu. My daughter had the fried chicken and I, the stuffed shrimp. The stuffed shrimp comes with perfectly seasoned potatoes. It was delicious and plentiful. Tasted even better the next day when I heated up the leftovers. I'd also had the yams (exceptional), mac n' cheese (a little too salty but still good), and potato salad (perfect)! I didn't have a drink because I'd just finished a frozen Irish coffee with a shot of butterscotch whisky from Molly's at the Market (yum). My daughter and I had gotten into a deep conversation about politricks. At some point, I'd noticed that the restaurant had gone very quiet. It had gone from a full dining room to just us and another table of diners. I see now that the restaurants closes at 3pm on Friday and re-opens at 5:30 for dinner. No one rushed us or told us we'd have to leave. If we didn't get up on our own, they might've let us sit there. I mean, had they told us they had an afternoon, temporary closing, we would've been cool with it. But, nope. They let us enjoy our meals and time in their wonderful, historical establishment. Before our visit, I was wondering if Dooky Chase would be the kind of place where all the hype is in the history and the food would suffer. Nope, in my humble opinion, the history is great and so was the food and the service. No lacking anywhere. Dear everybody at Dooky Chase, thank you! Looking forward to our next visit to NoLa and to Dooky Chase!

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!

Coming from a west coast city girl: the red beans and rice with spicy sausage were magical. Savory and seasoned with the crispy spicy sausage. Mmmmmm!
