My favorite location for Cajun food. Such a fun atmosphere, it absolutely has the spirit of New Orleans flowing in every aspect of this place, from the decor to the drinks to the food and the music. It's an elevated Cajun experience, starting with the debris spring rolls, pot roast and manchego cheese fried to crisp perfection in an egg roll with a delicious beef gravy for dipping. Their hurricane is strong and authentic. Jazz music flows through the restaurant and everywhere you look has color, glitz and glam! You haven't had shrimp and grits til you've had them as grit cakes, get the shrimp and grit cake: Monica style, if you don't like spice, maybe don't get it but it's delicious otherwise. The combination of the crunchy fried exterior and the creamy grits inside is such a yummy experience. Lastly, you have to get beignets and an espresso martini. As a beignet obsessed person, it pains me to say that their bread pudding is the superior dessert. I'm not a HUGE fan of the croissant flaky style of beignet that's become the norm for most places, but that's what they have here. I'd much prefer the classic beignet with the pocket of air in the middle. But otherwise they're still amazing and the espresso martini is delicious. Sarah B was an efficient and friendly waitress! If you need a NOLA fix, this is the place to go! Laissez les bon temps rouler! read more

I had been wanting to come here for over a year and decided to just show up one evening. The first thing I will say is that the service here is 10/10. There is a doorman to open the door for you as you enter and exit, the hostess, the servers...3 different people stopped by our table to ask how everything was, so from a customer service standpoint they're on it! The ambiance is nice, love all the NoLa decor. As for the food, my appetizer ended up coming out after my entree so they took it off the check which was nice of them. I thought the food was subpar which was underwhelming for me because I absolutely LOVE traveling to New Orleans just to eat. My partner said her food was on the salty side, and my pasta was just ok. I honestly don't think I will return but happy I finally got to try it. read more

I visited Tibby's on Fat Tuesday to celebrate a birthday. We called ahead and were told reservations were not being accepted and seating would be first come first served. When we arrived, several parties who entered after us were seated ahead of us because they had reservations. That inconsistency was frustrating. The restaurant was operating on a limited event menu. While I understand this from an efficiency standpoint, several regular favorites were unavailable, including one I typically order. I wish that had been clearly communicated online. I ordered the fried po boy and a Hurricane. The sandwich was well executed. The shrimp were seasoned properly and fried perfectly. The Hurricane was balanced and enjoyable. The Cajun wings lacked the spice and bold flavor I would expect. The spinach and artichoke dip was acceptable but not memorable. Despite the crowd and our party of 10, our waitress provided excellent service. She checked on us consistently, kept things moving, and our food arrived hot and fresh.

I've been here several times and love the food, brought a friend who had never been and she enjoyed it as well. Her appetizer was the hot honey fried shrimp. Delicious. Not too hot at all so don't let the name scare you. I had the debris spring rolls which are roast beef with a gravy dipping sauce. Excellent. For entrees she had the Shimp creole and I got the fried shrimp basket with onion rings. But we're so good. I kept the hot honey dipping sauce from her appetizer and used it for my entree The restaurant is New Orleans themed in decor which creates a really fun Mardi Gras atmosphere read more

We sat at the bar and honestly had the best service! Our server, I wish I had her name, was amazing. We went the day after Fat Tuesday, so the King Cakes were on sale for $17, we definitely got one. The food was delicious but a little salty and that's the only reason why I gave this 4 stars and not 5 stars. The vibes are very New Orleans and I love it! read more

Great energy. Great service. Great vibes. The food... 3 out of 5. I ordered the shriml and grits with a topping of crayfish. The shrimp came out cooked perfectly. The cheee.frits were very salty. The crayfish was oddly dry but a fantastic add to the dish in my opinion. The star though was the red wine gravy sauce that was in the dish. Combined together a fantastic blend of flavors. Downside was the pools of oil. Tasty but very salty. Definitely worth a trip with friends for a good time. read more

Tibbys a nice spin on New Orleans food! Perfect place to stop in for a quick bite and head back into work. The menu is easy to navigate what you're looking to eat, they have plenty of options and a lunch menu if you're looking for something on the smaller size. I love how the atmosphere is decorated, it is very inviting, very colorful, and a great representation of New Orleans. Our host was fanatic , he was incredibly friendly , kind, and attentive! I wish I could remember his name. All in all everything was great. read more

Was in town and wanted to try this spot. I heard great things from the locals and that was all needed to get excited. The venue is LARGE and has plenty of space to host parties, happy hour and casual dinning. I ordered a few things and really enjoyed everything. -Fried Pickles were great with my beer. Crunchy but not soggy. great batter and flavor. -Gator Bites were something was looking forward to the most. It was great and flavorful bites. I did not like the sauce that came with it but that was no demerit of the bites. -Ritas Chicken was delicious, and the sauce with dirty rice was a delicious combo -Blacken Chicken was also good. Nothing to complain about here. Overall, this was a great experience and I would definitely make this a stop whenever in back in town. , read more

Some of the best Canjun food and atmosphere I have had since my last visit to NOLA before COVID or Katrina.

Tibby's serves up classic New Orleans vibes with bold flavors. My daughter and I went for happy hour last week and loved the Christmas decor all throughout the restaurant. We had the hurricanes that were part of the happy hour special, and I also tried a Sazerac. Both drinks were very authentic (been to NOLA many times) and delish! The boudin rolls were crispy on the outside and went perfectly with the creole dijonaise. It's a cool, fun spot for great drinks and authentic Cajun bites. I'm only knocking off a star because they didn't have food on the happy hour menu. Everything else was amazing. Check them out! read more

This food was AMAZING! As someone who frequents New Orleans and loves the food they had some real genuine items. I loved the atmosphere and the whole experience was just amazing. The service was amazing, we never had to ask for refills and they always checked if we were okay! The manager came around and we said to give compliments to the chef. He then proceeded to comp our beignets. We will be back here FOR SURE! read more

We left the movie theater two stores down and walked in around 9p to get a drink and just hang out. There were a small group sitting near the front, two guys hanging out near the bar and two others on the table near the bar. My friends ordere their drinks and I went with the brandy milk punch which has brandy, Irish cream, vanilla and nutmeg and cream all tossed together ($11). The drink was quite light on the liquor and was more milk than anything else but it was just a little something to sip on while we chatted about the movie and caught up on life. We left as just as the bar was closing up, last rounds was called and they were getting ready to kick us all out. read more

Tibbys felt like a trip to New Orleans! The restaurant easily accommodated my party of 30 with a private room in the back. Parking was convenient, ordering was a breeze, and when it came to the checks, Tibbys made it simple for each guest to pay their own tab. This made it simple as I have guest who don't consume alcohol, vegans, and other restrictions. The hostess was fantastic, the staff on the phone were helpful and thorough, and the team on the day of my birthday went above and beyond. My guests had an amazing time, and I couldn't be happier that I celebrated my birthday at Tibbys! read more

We enjoyed the alligator bites with the remoulade were chef's kiss. The Chicken & Andouille Filè Gumbo was well seasoned and great.

I love me some Tibby's. Cajun cuisine is one of my favorites, and I really love having Tibby's as an option in the area to get that fix. This location is in a shopping plaza within Winter Park. There is plenty of parking and the staff seats you fairly quickly. The interior of the restaurant is fantastic. There is SO MUCH to look at, and it really adds to the NOLA charm. I really liked the disco ball in the main room, and it gave such good vibes. Our server was so nice and helpful. I thought customer service was top-notch. We ordered gator bites as an appetizer, and those came out fast. They were very good, and the sauce paired great with the bites. The price of this app was a little steep. For my main, I ordered the trio with Jambalaya, Gumbo, and Crawfish Pie. The spice level was there without it being overwhelming our too spicy. The gumbo was DELICIOUS. I star item. The Jambalaya was tasty. I took the Crawfish Pie to-go, and it heated up perfectly in the airfryer the next day. I appreciated that the server boxed our leftovers up table side for us. Another great visit here at Tibby's. read more

Absolutely love coming to Tibbys when I'm missing New Orleans! When you walk in you I immediately feel like you were transported to Bourbon Street. The beignets are amazing, the best I've ever had- outside of New Orleans. I also really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. I have been to Tibby's for dinner and brunch- I have to say do prefer the brunch menu. When I recently went for brunch it was extremely busy but our server still did a great job keeping up! read more

Why can't people cook "Cajun" or "Creole" outside of Louisiana? This place is OK but it's nowhere near being in NOLA. They use and seem proud of using Johnsonville Andouille Sausage in their dishes. That's like bragging about only using Campbells soup or Kraft Mac N Cheese. They have a few restaurants in Orlando and this one is about the same as the rest. The Shrimp Po Boy was good, but the bread wasn't very crusty. The fried shrimp were pretty good though. The Dirty Rice side was OK, but nothing any better than Popeyes rice. The $6 Hurricane on Sunday was killer though! A good price for a cocktail for sure. I don't know which days have which specials, but it's worth checking into as cocktails are all hovering on either side of the $20 mark these days. I can get 3 bottles of MD 20/20 for that! If you're looking for something different, this fits the bill. But don't kid yourself into thinking this is anything authentic. It was created by Tijuana Flats which is good, but it's also nowhere near authentic Mexican (I've never seen a donkey in a Tijuana flats, have you?). read more

Tibbys is always an amazing vibe with great food and wonderful service. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here!

Tibbys is such a great happy hour. Food is good and the drinks are amaze. The vibes are always good.

I love their Debris with gravy sandwich! As close to Mother's in New Orleans, that I know of here!

My wife and I have eaten here several times over the years. We have enjoyed the restaurant. I have found the food to be somewhat spicy and salty but I think that is somewhat subjective. The service has always been good and the serving portions are adequate. There is adequate parking. The restaurant is somewhat small and loud. John T read more

A nice local surprise. Fun interior design. Good cocktails. Good comfort food with generous portions.

TL;DR - I 100% recommend a visit to Tibby's. The restaurant is elaborately decorated, the service is great and quick, the portions are very generous, and the food is spectacular and full of flavor! I really don't think you can go wrong with any dish. My boyfriend and I are from up north but we're no strangers to the area. However, I'd never heard of Tibby's until last week. We went there for the first time on February 24th, and the experience was amazing! In fact, the food was so delicious and the service was so pleasant that we returned the following week as well. The first time we dined at Tibby's, we had gator bites for an appetizer; my bf got a cup of jambalaya and a cup of shrimp & andouille gumbo; I got the half & half po-boy with catfish and shrimp (and a side of dirty rice); and for dessert we had beignets. It was all soooo delicious! The po-boy was gigantic, and very yummy. My bf said the gumbo was flavorful and some of the best he'd ever had. Our server (I forgot his name, sorry!) was sociable and friendly. The second time we dined at Tibby's, we had the honey crystal shrimp for an appetizer; my bf got a full bowl of shrimp & andouille gumbo; I got a whole muffuletta (served hot); and for dessert we had the bananas foster cheesecake. The honey crystal shrimp was wonderfully flavorful--we wish we'd had more! The muffuletta was HUGE and very tasty. The bananas foster cheesecake was the best we'd ever had--my bf has been raving about it ever since! Our server, Angelo, was very pleasant and patient. Thank you, Tibby's; We will definitely be returning again!! read more

What an awesome experience at Tibby's! We were seated and had the most courteous and professional server, Angelo; he was the best.

At the end, we thanked him and told him he was truly the BEST. He brought us our checks and included free beignets for our trouble and they were absolutely delicious. We will be back and of course; we'll ask for Angelo and so should you. Great food AND service! read more

Had a wonderful dinner with my friends on a Thursday evening. Made a reservation on OpenTable and got seated immediately when we arrived in a small table at the back. They told me the hurricane was their specialty drink (13 dollars), and it was amazing. It had the right amount of sweetness and the felt like a cat 3 or 4 with the alcohol. I was buzzed for an hour with that drink. I took my friend's advice and did the jambalaya (20 dollars). I can't believe I forgot to take a picture as it looked nice! It was so good with the rice with tomatoes and other vegetables, and adoullie sausage for the meat. The pork sausage was flavorful and snapped at every bite. There was another sausage at the center, as well as garlic bread. My server was right as it was enough to save for lunch too. For dessert, I could not resist the banana foster cheesecake (11 dollars). It was an expensive cheesecake for the portions, but it was so enjoyable with the bananas, whipped cream, and foster sauce. I must admit it was even better than Cheesecake Factory. The service was wonderful with our server checking up on us, and helping out check the ingredients of one dish I wanted to verify. The manager came as well to check up on us. Our server also knew when I was ready to pack up the leftovers and boxed it up for me. The atmosphere was casual with jazzy ragtime music in the background. There was a small bar, and even a couple tables for outdoor seating. Parking was easy as it is in a complex, and I got lucky to find one right at the entrance. Tibby serves awesome Cajun cuisine at a reasonable price. The winter park location was closer to my friends and I, but there is another good branch in Altamonte Springs. I am so happy I went there with my friends as the food and atmosphere gave us in a party mood! read more
