A friend mentioned that Toast was a must when in New Orleans so we decided breakfast one day while on vacation was going to be here! We picked this location and were glad we did! From the minute we walked in we felt so welcome. Everyone was friendly and our server, Daniela, was awesome! She called us "baby" and I'm here for all of that! The restaurant is colorful and happy inside which was so nice and comfortable. Our coffee cups were never empty. Food was delicious! I had the fried catfish with eggs and grits and my fiancé had the fried crawfish breakfast. Biscuits were wonderful and the Aebelskivers (pancake fried dough) they have were incredible!! Highly recommended! Yes we ordered too much food and we were not mad about it! We left so happy we made it to Toast for breakfast and absolutely agree with my friend that said it's a must when you are in the area! read more

We REALLY liked this breakfast place. First time we attempted to dine the line was out the door (weekend), so we picked a Friday morning and were able to get street parking and a spacious booth. Love the interior layout, and it is handicap accessible. Bar seating available. Lots of light. Seated immediately. Drink orders taken and brought - coffee, OJ and Diet Coke. Food was out in under 10 minutes. Husband's Mushroom Toast with Bacon was SO yummy, and they even put the egg on the side at our request. My ham, mushroom, spinach and Gruyere crepe was also divine. Added side of Lyonnaise potatoes which were the best breakfast potatoes I believe I have ever had. Service was a team effort, which I always appreciate. Friendly, quick check out and we were encouraged to return. Can't wait! read more

It was an interesting take on shrimp and grits. The shrimp were cooked in a creamy gravy and presented alongside the grits. Not my favorite but it wasn't bad. Our server was really interested and punctual. It's a cute little cozy space with hanging plants and natural decor. If I go back I just kind of hope I find a good option that will be a favorite. The hibiscus and pineapple mimosas are amazing! read more

The weather was absolutely gorgeous today, so we sat outside and enjoyed a small breakfast on the patio. Honestly, I think this was a much better option as I feel like the inside was quite noisy due to the music and conversation that crowds you! We enjoyed the French toast, Classic breakfast and Abelskivers! The drinks were both amazing and my favorite item was probably the French toast! Not sure if I would recommend the Abelskivers because I felt like they weren't pretty dry without any drippings on them. Looking forward to going again though! read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast spot on the Westbank. Each time I visit Toast Gretna, I am greeted and seated immediately despite the crowd. The servers are always pleasant and attentive. Now the food, it is delicious. This time I ordered the fish and grits, those are the best grits in town. The eggs are perfection. I can go on and on just go to this cute and quaint spot and check for yourself. read more

This place has a sister restaurant up the road called Hen House. I was recommended here to Toast Gretna by the owners and workers from Hen House because they shut down restaurant operations to fully support their King Cake Operation. Awesome little homey restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect brunch spot for the morning and early afternoon. I ordered black coffee and the ratatouille omelette with a side of bacon. It was delicious. Next time i am gonna try the steak and eggs on their entrees menu. Everything was reasonably priced. Dining room was well lit and clean. Unisex bathroom with changing table for the little ones was also clean! Cant wait to come back! read more

My cousin recommended this place for breakfast. I had chicken and waffles and my husband had the avocado toast. My chicken was cooked to perfection. Juicy and tender full of flavor and seasoned to perfection. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The restaurant was welcoming and the music was nice to enjoy while having brunch. Next time I will try the fish and grits because I saw how good it looked and smelled as the plate passed our table. My latte was yummy also. read more

Y'all... I had this sandwich yesterday and I'm still thinking about it. Toast passed in every way. It was packed for Saturday brunch, but we only waited about 15 minutes. While we waited, there was plenty of space to hang out at the backyard bar and sip tasty coffee (or a morning cocktail if that's your vibe). Lots of seating, quick service, large kids menu, delicious specials. But this sandwich, y'all -- hands down the best fried chicken I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection, with a crunch on the outside and melting in my mouth on the inside. I don't remember the sauce, but it was on fresh brioche with bacon and some veggies. Had a side of your choice (I already finished before taking a pic .) My latte was excellent. The service was so sweet -- shoutout to Ionna for taking care of us and recommending the special. I wasn't even that hungry...but took one bite and devoured the whole thing. I couldn't get a pic of my neice's ratatouille omelette before she tore in, as well as my sisters food which was gone before you know it. Anywayzzz, we'll definitely be back. There's so much space out back, with a play set for kids. I honestly think I'm having my birthday brunch there when it cools off in the fall. Inside, it's a fun mix of southern murals and modern decor, but they kept the old-school southern restaurant feel with the bar and layout. Loved everything about it! read more

The food was great. My first time visiting enjoyed my catfish, egg and cheese grits. It was delicious and a very nice portion so make sure you are hungry. The service friendly and courteous from the door to my waiter/ bartender. Chase, who made my suggestion after I asked for his input. Great job Chase. The ambiance is quaint and homie like a small cafe I would go weekly if I lived in the area. I would probably have given them 5stars. However I'm partial to places that don't offer military discount. I truly believe all veterans deserve a little thank you for through some kind of discount for their sacrifice to this country! read more

Food was delicious, play equipment was a plus even though it was stupidly hot outside, and our waitress was lovely (had a cute poof pony can't remember her name sorry) . The only thing that brought this review down was the fact that the bartender outside was rude to use after SHE got our order incorrect and I asked her to fix it. Everything else was great and a hidden little gem. read more

Service was wonderful, our server was very sweet. All three entrees that were "toast" based the toast was basically soft bread, not really toasted at all. The ratatouille which I used to love and have had in the past was different. All the veggies were just cooked to mush and my small serving on my toast had 8 whole garlic cloves. Don't get me wrong I love garlic but 8 large whole cloves just isn't it. We have been coming since they have opened and just really disappointed in the food quality the last couple visits. First thinking it was a one off now unsure if we will be back. read more

I visited Toast a few months ago to meet up with a friend. We arrived maybe an hour before closing, so things were winding down. I ordered the catfish and grits while my friend had the French toast. Our food came out quickly and was pretty tasty. However, the silverware on the table wasn't clean and my plate was also a little dingy looking. This raised some concerns about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

This was our 3rd visit before actually being seated. The first two visits had wait times over an hour each visit so we went elsewhere locally. On this visit, we were seated instantly at the bar due to limited seating available in the dining room. The bar service was great, quick, and easy! I ordered the chicken and waffles which was made to order and provided that perfect balance of salt and sweet. The cayenne butter added a nice touch. Coffee was refilled without asking. I would recommend getting reservations even for two if you want to dine in. Once seated, you will enjoy a good meal. Dine local! Enjoy. read more

I ordered the crawfish omelet with a side of avocado and ratatouille, and let me tell you, my plate was completely empty by the time I was done.

I'd definitely come back just for this dish alone. read more

I was so excited when I saw they were opening a Toast in Gretna! Toast in Gentilly was one of the first brunch places I visited when I moved here and having in on the West Bank made it that much easier for me to get to! The new location is a great space with lots of dining space, both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor space has a wonderful playground a gorgeous mural painted in the back. The indoor space is also cute and comfortable. During this visit we sat at the bar and got excellent service! Water was kept filled and the food came out very quickly! I love the good at Toast! The Abelskivers are my favorite especially with their homemade jam! Their toast is also super good, buttered on both sides and toasted. I could eat that alone, no need to add anything on top! But if you are feeling some of their Toast specials they are great options! Service: Service was great! Our water was kept full and out food was served quickly! Drinks: Full bar Happy Hour: None Parking: Mostly street parking. You just have to watch where you park so you're not blocking any driveways. read more

Crepe was dry, spinach aside was raw, cheese - more like gross slop - filling was a cold glob. The aebelskivers were raw inside. Crawfish toast had cold crawfish on it. Have had a meal this bad in years. Honestly how did the cook look at that crepe with a handful of raw spinach sticking out and think that was ok? read more

Toast Gretna - Burnt waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

Dined here with party of 8 for bday brunch. We had 2 separate entrees with hair on it. Server was kind but I felt dismissed when we brought it up. If you know the oyster toast entree, it is usually layered, we didn't see the hair till we ate down to the plate. Then, we ordered classic breakfast and sausage; there was a thick hair with attached follicle. See picture. We paid for the bill in entirety with automatic 20% service fee. Needless to say, I will not return or recommend my family or friends here. I understand accidents happen but 2 different entrees with hair in... it's a matter of hygiene. read more

Went to Toast for brunch today with a friend and her daughters. I've been here twice before which the food and service was great, but today service was pretty bad. We opted for first available seating which happened to be outside after a short wait time. We were seated and given a water without glasses. Once we received glasses one had lipstick on the rim. I had to ask for a replacement twice and finally received it. Our orders were taken and food was served pretty fast. One of my friend's daughter's chicken had a piece of hair in it. Flies were bad which was to be understood outside, but we were not offered a fly fan for the table. I tried to get the attention of a few waitstaff to ask for a fan for the table to help reduce the flies. My ask went unheard so I went over and grabbed one from an empty table that had 2 sitting there. Lastly as we were still eating a waitstaff member came over to start removing empty plates. She knocked over syrup that fell through the table onto my friend's daughter's shoe and foot. I asked for a wet towel for her to clean off the syrup and she responded we don't have that but I can give you some napkins and you can use the water on the table. A wet paper napkin was not very helpful to remove sticky syrup from her foot. The bill was paid and we were out! Uncertain if the change of service was due to us being seated the last hour before closing or outdoor seating. Very disappointed!! If all of this had happened on my first visit I would not return. read more

The crawfish toast was awesome and I had the drink special ..Pink Lightning.....now I have to say the only was the music ..they had sorta rap music playing ...would have preferred oldies or something..How about a mixture of music we can all enjoy !!!

I dined here on a cold Saturday morning around 9:00 am and there was no wait! I was greeted at the door and I chose to sit at the bar since I was solo. The bartender/server greeted me after a quick glance at the menu and took my drink order. I ordered a double pomegranate mimosa because why not?! It was tasty and strong. I ordered the daily special, which was, at the time, the blackened salmon over grits with the crawfish cream sauce and scrambled eggs. Everything was hot and fresh. The salmon had a nice crisp on the edges as well. Will definitely return! read more

Would definitely recommend this quaint little spot. There was no wait when we went. You can look ahead to be added to a waitlist. They are reasonable priced especially when you see the portions that you receive. I mean I feel like 2 ppl could have eaten of the catfish and grits and the crawfish toast. My husband made a clean plate with the crawfish toast. The catfish and grits is so savory and full of flavor. The pomegranate spritz was a little sweet for me but I had one of the best lattes ever there. The blood Mary was good too. Definitely recommend you trying this place out read more

We visited Toast as a group, and what we experienced was unacceptable. We come here often and have had good experiences in the past, which is exactly why this stood out so much. We were the first table seated outside. Our waitress, who stated she was a manager, was initially polite and took our drink order. As more tables were seated, she told us she was the only one working that section, and we were patient. At one point, there was a young Black woman seated with her two children who had clearly arrived before another table. Every table in that section was African American except for one table of white guests. When it came time to take orders, the waitress attempted to serve the white table first, even though the young woman with her children had been there before them. The young woman calmly spoke up for herself and stated that she had arrived first. Instead of correcting the situation, the waitress became defensive and told her she could leave because she "felt uncomfortable serving her." That was shocking. The young woman had been quiet, respectful, and had done nothing wrong. The situation escalated quickly. The waitress raised her voice, spoke to her in a disrespectful tone in front of everyone, and the young woman looked visibly upset and close to tears. Multiple tables, including ours, spoke up because what was happening was wrong. At one point, the waitress said, "so all of y'all are going to jump me," which was completely inappropriate. When asked for a manager, she stated that she was the manager, refused to take accountability, and then walked off and never returned. Let me be clear: what we witnessed felt like unfair treatment, and it was handled in the worst possible way. Thankfully, three other servers stepped in and were professional, kind, and attentive. They helped salvage the experience, and we appreciated them. But that interaction should never have happened. No customer should be treated that way, especially when they are simply speaking up for themselves respectfully. If this is how management handles situations, it will hurt this business. read more

They have a very cute outdoors space for you to sit and wait for your table to be called. They also have a small playground area for children to play on with swings and slides and stuff like that. The food here is really good I ordered the fish and grits, and I am happy to report that it is actually catfish. The grits weren't too creamy either. The potatoes are also really good. I ordered mimosa which is $16 for a large and eight dollars for a regular. I ordered the hibiscus mimosa which tasted like a wine cooler, and it wasn't very strong. Make sure you get on reservation list early because they become very busy on Sundays. Expect to wait at least an hour probably two. My friends and I joined the waitlist when we woke up that Sunday morning and then got ready and went to the restaurant. We was called not too long after (20 minutes ) after we got there....two hours after joining the list. read more

Service was absolutely horrible this past Sunday. They refused to sit us until a party that came the same time we did finished eating. Originally it was a wait of an hour and a half , then it's become an additional hour and a half , and then it became ," Oh I'm sorry you just going to have to wait to this new party finish eating." Which was absolutely unheard of. We even called prior and was told something different. This was the worst experience of my life. read more
