    Toast was a such a great breakfast spot. The ambience was very homey, everyone was so incredibly friendly, you can tell it's a local spot. The food was AMAZING! We left satisfied and full.

    I'm so glad we were able to experience this spot during the week day to avoid the crowds! The seating is limited. I love that they hang colored pages as their decor. Family said it was the best French toast they've had. My boyfriend cleaned his basic breakfast plate. I swallowed my toast lol. And the fried chicken was seasoned amazingly with a little heat! The pancake balls look unique but taste pretty basic. I'd probably skip this next time. It was one of the better breakfast meals we had while visiting. I'd come back next time we're in town!

    Fried catfish, grits, eggs, tarragon aioli

    The toast with bacon, mushrooms, mornay, caramelized onions was really good. All the ingredients complemented each other well. I was pleasantly surprised to get full. The banana and Nutella were okay. I wish they added more bananas. The fish and grits were 10/10. Best grits I've ever had. Food came in really fast also.

    I've been to both locations of Toast and the Gentilly Blvd location is my preference. The service is always speedy even on busy mornings. On my most recent visit, I kept my order simple and had salmon and eggs on toast. It was tasty but not mind blowing. To be fair, I got what I ordered. I usually get the catfish and grits which I really like but I'm trying to avoid fried foods at the moment. I also had a tall glass of unsweetened hibiscus tea and it was great. My uncle had an omelet and a side of grits. He enjoyed it- it disappeared in a matter of minutes.

    When I first entered the restaurant, I immediately appreciated how small and quaint it is. No one was at the host stand, so I waited and watched everyone work busily. The gentleman walking from the kitchen, the cook on the line, the gentleman at the soda station all looked at me, but no one spoke. Finally the lady behind the bar whose back had been to me, finally turned around and with a surprise welcomed me to the restaurant. The service was quick and thorough. The food was good. My favorite item was the flat white espresso. It's the best I've ever had. I frequent the location in Gretna, and this location doesn't compare.

    Update: Just took my mom and aunt for breakfast here and the prior review still stands. The food was so good! Those grits were the best I've ever had and the spinach crepe with veggies and goat cheese, surprisingly delish. I consumed the mayonnaise potatoes on the side and we all took our drinks to go. It was a great start to the day. Highly recommend! It's a small place, very homey. I was greeted with a big smile and great welcome. The food is absolutely amazing. I got the chicken and waffles and a black coffee. The service was friendly and polite and I was very happy eating there. I knew my chicken was going to be perfectly seasoned and juicy once I smelled it. Yep, iykyk, the southern belle came out. The waffle was so good you could eat it without syrup and the cayenne aoili butter, not sure if that is the name, was fantastic. I'm brining my mom and aunt to this place. Their chicken is giving my aunt a run for her money so she needs to try it.

    this is the SPOT to go for brunch on a weekend with friends and family in nola beloved neighborhood. although it's a small place, the wait time is bearable and the service is expected for a busy place. but the food is great!! you forgot all about the wait time once the food enters your mouth and your eyes rolls back. the catfish was perfectly fried and seasoned. the grits were phenomenal. can not rave about TOAST enough. this place deserves the same hype if not more as the infamous brunch place that rhymth with care bat

    I visited here for the first time today for brunch. We found nearby free street parking. It's not a large place but we didn't have to wait. We got there about an hr and half before they closed. It is a very casual vibe. The staff were friendly and showed good service. I ordered a pineapple mimosa, some waffles, eggs and lyonnaise potatoes. I enjoyed everything and I would return.

    Nutella and banana crape.

    Fun adventure food. Limited seating but home made.fun staff . Parking is hard to find when busy.

    Grits

    The food was amazing! I ordered the chicken and waffles, it was really good and well seasoned. I also got the grits and a biscuit on the side, both items were okay, they aren't something I'd reorder. If you plan on sitting in here be sure to try to make a reservation! They stay booked and busy, inside and outside are always filled. This is why I got my order to go.

    I finally stopped in at the Gentilly location, and I was seated surprisingly quickly! Everyone was friendly, and the cozy space was decorated very warm and cute! Our waitress was great, and the food came out quickly. My steak was tender and cooked perfectly, and so were the sides. My boyfriend's catfish and grits were really good, but he wasn't a fan of the scrambled eggs. I could have used a bit more seasoning on my sides, but overall it was pretty good food for a reasonable price!

    Stopped by toast after church Sunday with my daughter. The service was really amazing the staff was friendly. The food was great also. I had the fried catfish with grits added some cheese and it was 10/10.

    Toast with Bacon, Mushroom, and Caramelized Onion

    Super small restaurant- be prepared for a wait. Very friendly server. The food was good. I ordered the Bacon, Spinach, and Gruyère Omelette with Toast and side Potatoes. My husband ordered the Toast Burger with Fries and added an egg. The omelette was good but nothing fancy. Toast was really yummy - thick grilled buttery toast. The potatoes were ok - a little oily and needed seasoning. My husband said his burger was great. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food a lot.

    Ask the Community - Toast

    Do y'all use the No Wait App at the Fairgrounds Location?

    No. You will need to add your name to a waitlist when you arrive.

    Is there free parking close by?

    There's street parking. You may get lucky like we did and park across the street. Other wise you will be ducked off in the neighborhood.

    Can a party of 8 be seated at 8am on a Saturday?

    Use the "waitlist" option on Yelp to help reserve a spot prior to arriving.

    Do y'all take reservations?

    We do not but we do use the no wait app. You can put your name on the waitlist through yelp.

    Service: Went to Two Chicks Café with my friend for brunch…read more Parking was a bit hard to find, and we had to wait about 20 minutes in line for a seat, but once we were seated, the service was pretty quick. The staff kept things moving and were attentive throughout our meal. Taste: The menu is concise, which I liked, and there's truly something for everyone. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and grits, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. It was savory, flavorful, and very filling. My friend had the grits and egg bowl, which was also really good. The fresh juices were delicious and paired perfectly with brunch. Ambiance: The café has a lively brunch vibe and feels like a staple spot. It's casual, welcoming, and perfect for catching up with friends while enjoying a great meal. Overall Review: Two Chicks Café is affordable and absolutely worth the visit. Between the flavorful dishes and great brunch energy, it's a must-stop on your NOLA trip. I would definitely go back!!!

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!
