Fried FRIED MIRLITON PICKLES; BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Sarah L.

First time here and it was pretty good. My food (entree) was just okay. Appetizers are much better. A lot of people at our table got the bottomless vodka mimosas. Lots of mixers even if you don't want juice. There was option for Bloody Marys. The pickles were 10/10 (a little heavy in the breading). Brussels was fabulous (heavy with all the toppings). I thought my potatoes were bland and not seasoned well, grits were dry and my omelette was just okay (could've made the same and it taste better). The vine was cute, service was good, and clean restaurant. Would go back.

Boudin wontons

This is one cool distillery! It has both great spirits and amazing food. We stopped in our last afternoon in New Orleans and enjoyed everything we tried. The space is large and open and the distillery is in the back. Our waiter Carlos took excellent care of us and gave us good recommendations along the way. I've never had an old fashioned in a bottle but theirs was excellent as well as the Evans Cucumber Collin's the wife had. We had the Boudin wontons, Grace's tomato stack and the shrimp brochette and all were delicious. We missed out on the distillery tour as those end at 5 when we arrived so will need to do that on another trip. Please check out this gem the next time you are on NOLA. And if you are a big vodka drinker, they have all you can drink for one price from opening until 3 pm!!

Avocado crab dip with wonton chips
Jolie F.

An unexpected find in the lower garden district after our planned outing to a bar was closed. We had stumbled upon this distillery that has been open since 2016 and survived Covid, so you know it must be worth a stop in! Unfortunately our plan was to just stop in for drinks but the dinner menu looked so good with a speciality menu with quail and a dip with avocado and local fish! As we were just stopping in for drinks, we just had an appetizer: at first we were unsure about the composition of the appetizer: avocado, crab and mango....but one we received it, we were impressed. The dip was solid! As for drinks: the distillery offerings were solid! I'm a fan of bees knee and that made me an epic one. And for those who want to get their pour on for a mere 20 dollars you can do unlimited drinks from a select list that looked solid! The service was solid too! I think the excellent service that we received from Sam and perhaps the Manager ( sorry didn't catch his name) kept us there longer enjoying our time! Sam has been there for four year and very passionate about the business: I love seeing an employee at establishment that is fully engage! The ambiance is nice too: vast indoor space! Very clean! With an open area to the kettles! Plus a nice patio for nice days! Plus they have a big party area too if you are looking for an event space. Thanks for a great first visit: we look forward to digging in and trying some of your food next time!

Happy Hour!

Food here is a little hit or miss - stick with the crunchy items and you'll be great. Really good happy hour with drink and snack food specials. Newer place, very open and clean. Super wait staff and bartenders. They batch make several cocktails with the spirits they produce - we tried several over the course of our visit and loved them all. Of note is the hurricane...if you enjoy traditional with real fruit juice this is your place, and they don't skimp on the passion fruit. We stopped in here most nights on our way back to the room for to-go hurricanes. Definitely worth checking out this little LGD

CATFISH CLUB
Alexis H.

Grabbed a lunch here with a small group and the place was pretty empty. Our waitress was attentive and the food came out pretty quickly. My drink (Bee's Knees) was delicious and very light. The Crawfish Mac left a lot to be desired, as well as the Hot Garlic Shrimp Boil. The real stars were the Red Beans & Chicken and the Catfish sandwich. Would definitely recommend.

Not sure what was going on? Came in and waited at the front desk. Took awhile to get seated. Once we were seated after about 15 minutes of no one coming by even to drop off water we left. We went down the street to SeaWitch spot and that was great food and great service. Maybe it was a shift change or the USMC stuff I was wearing but we were ignored or lost in the shuffle. Wasn't crowded so not sure what happened.

Great lunch today at Lula's; everything was fresh, quick, and friendly. Nice ambiance. I have been there a few times, but I have never had lunch before. I had the Des Allemands fish sandwich, which was very flavorful, and my son had a chicken sandwich, both of which were huge. We were only able to eat half of the sandwich served with fries.

Queso, steak and fries and the egg rolls.
Ralph Q.

Lula was recommended by some friends when she went to school in the area, so we had high expectations. Out of all the recommendations this location did not live up to the hype. The drinks, some pre mixed with their own branded spirit, were sub par. Either way too sweet or the balance profile was off based on whomever did the mixing. My mixed old fashioned took me back to the younger days when my focus was to just get something to start a buzz and skimp on the experience. It was Mardi Gras so there were probably plenty of people who appreciated the lower price point at $11. As to the food we had the queso and the egg rolls. Egg rolls were good with the fig jam. The queso was watery and not a true queso with some thickness to dip. The hanger/flank steak also was cooked well to order and was pleasantly surprised. The fries were a little soggy and not as crispy as I would like them. Steak w a little dip into the fig jam made it that much better. We don't plan on going back but if you're looking for something quick, good wait staff that were attentive, and keeping your drinking low -then maybe it will work for you.

Came here for a group dinner. Shout out to my Yelp friend for finding this place same day, and booking a resy. The place was not full which I was glad about, a few tables but not much, so we got pretty quick and easy service. I can't speak to how the parking is, as we Uber'd here. The place is really cute. Large barn style with wooden rafters. Very spacious. Great for large groups or family reunion. I could even see this as a nice event space for an anniversary or a work event. The distillary is right in the back and open to the public behind glass. I wonder if they have classes or events for there different spirits. If they don't it would be a good idea, I bet it would be a great success. They had a $35 dinner special meal, and the whole table decided to order from that. Service- Viana (sp) was our server. And while we were a group, service was good. She checked on us enough. Drink- was a part of the dinner special, which I haven't seen before, that's kind of cool. I got the Bee's Knees. While I assume it may have been batched drink, but it was nice and tart for me. Food- I got the Cesar salad for my starter, which was larger than I expected. I thought it would be more of a side salad, I was happy to see a large portion. For my main I had the blackened fish with dirty rice and veggies. That was really tasty. We got dessert as it was a birthday celebration for 2 of the guests in the group. I had a bite of the bread pudding. It wasn't my style of bread prodding, a little too soft texture of bread, but I'm sure some will enjoy. And I had a bite of the lemon ice cake, that was pretty good, gramcracker crust, sort of cheesecake like. I left stuffed trying to eat everything, ugh but very yum meal.

Not as pretty as it sounded, but it wasn't as good either
Kendralle J.

+2 stars for the ambience and cleanliness ! It was very pretty inside - there was nice lighting, the tables were far enough apart to not hear anyone else's conversations despite how packed it was, and it was very clean to say there was table coming in and out. +1 star for the service ! Our server was not the best, but he tried his best for a large party and I do appreciate his efforts. Also, the chef/manager handled any complaints we had -1 star because the food I ordered (lamb chops with green beans, onion rings, & roasted potatoes) was flavorless! I assume the flavor was supposed to come from the chimichurri sauce that I did NOT like. My man ordered the cheese burger and I did not too much enjoy that AT ALL! He complained about it also being dry and flavorless so he added salt *there was a lump crab and avocado dip and it was pretty good, BUT there was actually no visible lump crab meat ! Apparently they blend it altogether -1 star for the drinks ! I'm not sure who prefers Lula vodka, but it's not good ! I ordered 2 seltzers with their in house vodka - the pineapple one was decent, but the strawberry one was AWFUL! On top of that, there was a hair on our first one! 3/5! But at least they give you a cute little postcard at the end of your experience

Elena T.

Great service, and we had delicious food. It was very clean inside. The vibe was very cool and still calm enough to talk. There were four of us, and we all found something we wanted to eat, and we had to try all the desserts because they all sounded so good. I would definitely come back.

Chantal B.

Celebrated our daughter's birthday with brunch and i must say the bottomless vodka bar was a selling point. Prime location on St Charles with all of the mardi gras krewe flags hanging from the ceiling. The openness adds to the ambiance. Really enjoyed my steak and eggs. Steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was friendly, patient and very accommodating.

The Father's Day ad that showed the specials Were for "Father's Day" not just for dinner.

Is there a parking lot?

Yes, there is a parking lot down the side street of the building. You will see the sign for Lula's parking. I went on 10/16/22.

Def kid friendly! They don't have "kid foods" (e.g., chicken tenders, lol) but every time I go, families have kids with them.

Can this restaurant handle a party of fifty?

Huge place but you should call them directly. I am sure they will appreciate that...

Is a reservation needed if we arrive around 4pm?

You do not need a rsvp. See you at 4!

Casual. Come as you are.

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

This was my first time having noodles added to a seafood boil, and let me tell you--they were a GAME CHANGER. The noodles soaked up all that rich, buttery Cajun sauce and seasoning, making every bite ridiculously flavorful. I honestly don't know if I can order another seafood boil without noodles now! Our boil was loaded with crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and egg, and everything came out piping hot and covered in sauce. The seafood was flavorful, the portions were generous, and once we dumped everything onto the tray, it was officially time to get messy. What I really appreciated was how well everything worked together. The noodles weren't just an unnecessary add-on--they caught all that extra sauce that normally gets left at the bottom of the bag. Do yourself a favor and add them! Come hungry, roll up your sleeves, and don't wear anything you're afraid to get Cajun sauce on. Hot N Cajun delivered exactly what I wanted from a New Orleans seafood boil: hot, messy, saucy, flavorful, and satisfying. The noodles alone made this one memorable. Definitely coming back!

Everything we ordered was delicious, and honestly, the food is the main reason I would consider giving Bon Ton another try. I also want to give credit to the host who greeted us. She was extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely tried her best to accommodate my party. The bad: The issue was management. I had a party of 13, and I understood that the restaurant could only seat 10 people at one table. I was told the other 3 guests would be seated at a separate table, and I was completely okay with that arrangement. However, Travis, the front manager, canceled the reservation for my 3 additional guests, so they were never seated. The host was trying her best to help us, but Travis was not very accommodating and made the situation much more difficult than it needed to be. I also asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to understand what happened with the table for my 3 guests. Tre was told that I wanted to speak with him, but he didn't come over when he finished with the table behind me. Instead, he went into the kitchen, came back out, and spoke with my friend instead of me. When he eventually spoke with me, I asked if he was the manager, and he told me no. He also gave me a different name. What makes this even more disappointing is that I wasn't approaching him to complain. I simply wanted to ask about the seating situation and find a solution for my guests. The interaction with management was unnecessary and took away from what should have been a special birthday dinner. I will say again that the food was good enough that I am willing to give Bon Ton another try. Hopefully, next time the service and management experience will match the quality of the food. Shoutout to the host for being kind and trying her best--you could tell she genuinely cared about helping us.

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.

I was able to taste the gumbo before my friend devoured it and it was good! The chicken was perfectly cooked and not greasy. I love the butter beans, I get them every time. The weak link for me were the yams because it was overly spiced with something I'm not sure if it was cloves or nutmeg but it was way too much for me.
