    Shrimp Yaka Mein

    4.5 (can't leave half stars on Yelp)! We've been to the new location twice since it opened. First time, the wings were good and fries were rather greasy. Second time, wings were great, fries still just fries, fried shrimp and crab claws were awesome and shrimp yaka mein really hit the spot. Flavorful and plentiful!! We will be back. I hope they change their fry type, maybe a crinkle fry will be less greasy. Glad to have a go-to spot close to home.

    My sisters and I visited Brown Butter Depot on Saturday, and I can't say enough great things about…read morethis restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the food, service, and ambiance were absolutely outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our meal. The portions are generous one of my sisters ordered a salad that was so large she had plenty left to take home for her husband. My other sister ordered the breakfast croissant, and I had the smash burger, which practically melted in my mouth. Of course, we had to save room for dessert! We shared the vanilla bean crème brûlée and the beignet fries, and both were absolutely delicious. If you enjoy a good cocktail, you'll love their drink menu too the cocktails are amazing, and the prices are just as impressive. What really set this restaurant apart, though, was the customer service. I had a small issue with my debit card, and the owner personally called me afterward to make sure everything had been taken care of. That level of care and attention is rare and speaks volumes about how much they value their customers. Brown Butter Depot has definitely earned a spot on my list of repeat visits. If you're visiting New Orleans, don't miss this hidden gem in Gretna. I gave them five stars, but honestly, they deserve ten!

Bacon Cheddar Burger with pimento cheese- meeehhh!!! Short Ribs with mash potatoes----my new favorite meal Kimchi wings - the kimchi was in the side. The his is a small establishment with outside seating. I enjoyed myself ALL three times. The bartender is my fave. She's so patience and has a pleasant attitude.

Order at counter and delivered to your table. Pleasant counter service - host on receipt was Rex. First visit so it took us a minute. Asked for suggestions and he told us what sold the most or was featured, not what he liked, which is what we wanted to hear. Ordered the Smothered Pork Sandwich combo with green beans and a drink ($12.48), a small rib plate w/fried okra and grilled Brussel sprouts ($13.99) and 6 Boneless Wings with a side of mac & cheese ($7.99). It took a bit longer than I anticipated to get our food. When it was delivered there was no ranch or blue cheese dressing for the wings, and I never did get the food runner's attention. Rex came back to check on us and he brought me 2 individual containers of ranch. Food: sandwich was divine and huge! Green beans were bland, mac & cheese was creamy, Brussel sprouts were cooked nicely though a little oily. Ribs were good and the smoky flavor on the first two ribs was heavenly, but the closer to the end of the small slab I ordered, the tougher they got and the flavor seemed to bland. Not sure why, just did. Fried okra was cooked just right and plentiful. As for the "infamous" wings, I mistakenly ordered them breaded, which is not the way I prefer them. They were okay, but bready and can't be reheated at home. I won't order them again if we return. There was a chicken sandwich on the menu that looked interesting. Everyone was pleasant and the noise level was low. They offer a police/military discount - thank you. If you go, get the smothered pork sandwich and the fried okra - that's all you need to be full.
