Chef Paul and staff always do an amazing job. There are a few misleading reviews on here. If you're here for greasy fried food of the drive-in's, diners and dives style, then you've come to the wrong place, don't bother, walk right out and walk over to any of the other Andersonville spots. But if you're here for true authentic Louisiana cuisine and revived historical recipes, made with care and the freshest ingredients, superbly presented, you won't be disappointed. Tip: Do leave room for Chef's authentic dessert creations! ;)
The service was excellent and great ambiance. The waitress was very knowledgable I had the catfish and grits and it was so good. The salt and pepper biscuits were amazing as well. Getting the complimentary beignets to start the meal were a nice surprise. We will definitely be back.
We sat in the back patio which was much quieter than the inside. The inside was nicely decorated and ambient but if you’d like to have a more quiet experience I would suggest the patio. The food was decent although I think I expected more. The best dish was the salmon salad. Although for $26 it might scare u away.
I would skip the boudin balls. They were just alright. The fried chicken and cheesy grits were very good though, so I’d suggest ordering that. Wish the cocktail menu was a little more extensive as well. Overall, glad I tried it but not sure I’ll be back.
Best beignets outside of New Orleans, good strong creole coffee, and very flavorful thick cut applewood bacon! Everything was well prepared but not enough seasoning. Gratefully the pickled peach hotsauce packs on the missing flavor without bringing the heat. Definitely skip the biscuits though, not nearly enough butter used. Service was sufficient, the ambience is nice and we enjoyed the jazz and rock and roll music selections.
Really good Southern food. House made hot sauces were a great addition. The overall experience would have been better if the service was a bit more attentive
Well Big Jones has delicious Fried Chicken, and interesting take on a smokey Gumbo, wonderful choices is fresh brewed Teas and warm beignets.
I can't recommend the Shrimp and Grits but the service was beyond excellent.
I really enjoyed how special Blake made us feel. We came during Saturday Brunch.
I would love to return because of Blake, the interesting menu and to try their dinner menu.
Came in for a solo meal and got a seat right at the front window. Such a sweet space with the tastiest bites in this neighborhood. Their commitment to sourcing food locally is impressive.
What a treat to eat at this place! Who doesn't like southern menu, especially when it is done right. I had the Eggs Bayou and I can honestly say they were some of the best eggs I have had in a while. And I'm so glad I had their Bloody Mary, the pickled Okra was surprisingly good. We were a party of 10 at brunch and all of us enjoyed every bit of it.
Amazing intimate space, Preston was 👏🏾 amazing, kind and on his game. We found parking right in front. Absolutely book reservations, we had Sunday brunch. Definitely a vibe!!Food was delicious. Southern/ New Orleans decor. This place gets busy fast. I will be back for sure. New favorite local spot 😍!!

Amazing place! When you walk in there is the most delightful fragrance of food! It smells exactly what you want your kitchen to smell like. We chose to sit near the kitchen so we could watch them cook, they were effortless. The staff was great, we had questions and they didn't mind answering. Since it was RW, we ordered a lot. My fave appi is the barbecue shrimp, which is more like a prawn and served with a rue that makes you wanna smack yo mama! The okra was a lot like greens and while good, because we like okra, not my fave. The cornbread is outstanding and we even took an order home & at $15 - I think it's worth it. No other place has it like that. The fried chicken was great, the flavor is long, the chicken is moist, the skin is crunchy. The alligator is cooked is a stew that reminded me of ratatouille I've had in France. Everything flavorful. The greens are so great! Mac n cheese wasn't very cheese but the flavor hit. I might try it one more time. The deserts, wonderful! And the drinks were perfect! They know history of food there and told it to us, we loved that. Hands down, I'll return for different items. A great place for a date night or with friends. Overall, a must!
Make a reservation or... be lucky like me today and get 2 of the 5 or 6 chairs at the chefs table. It was busy and I don't believe we would have waited for a seat. I'm very glad we did. The waiter, David, was super nice, timely and apologetic when the place was very busy and he didn't get back to us for a bit. Mimosas were more champagne and less OJ which is always a win in my book. Our Gumbo Ya Ya was excellent. I had the Chilaquiles with two fried eggs and it was divine! I could only take down half it and I tried to do more. My partner had the Eggs Bayou Lafourche and it was also amazing! The eggs were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this wonderful place!
Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, free coffee refills and, my god, the Dutch Apple Griddle Cake! If I lived nearby, I'd be in every day for that alone!
