Five stars all the way! We heard about this restaurant from a local resident who raved about the fact that this it the only restaurants in New Orleans where you find a line of locals waiting to be seated. With that in mind we decided to get there at 5:00 PM at their opening to ensure we beat the di
Lively atmosphere with funky decor and very friendly staff! Their famed alligator cheesecake was pretty good and tasted like a meaty quiche. We recieved complementary cornbread muffins at the start AND coconut bread pudding after our meal which we suspect is likely just part of their entree pricing,
Iconic New Orleans restaurant with all the high points of the New Orleans food scene.
The wait is what gets you. If you do not have a reservation you're looking at 40min+. It is worth the wait!
The BBQ shrimp was a hands down winner.
If it's your first time in NOLA - highly recommend coming here t
You walk in to the bar (pause to admire all the decals on the door), admire all of everything on the walls. Check in at the small stairs up to the kitchen. Either get seated or order a drink & and enjoy the atmosphere. Then when the table is ready you walk up into & through the kitchen (admire the g
We love coming back time and again to Jacques-Imo’s, and of course we are never disappointed! The fried chicken, bbq shrimp, and short ribs were just out of this world! It’s a little out of the way from the french quarter but highly recommend making this trip!
Don’t let the sign throw you off, this place is a must visit anytime in NOLA.
The cornbread muffin was the best we’ve ever tried.
And yea, the alligator cheesecake is a must try.
We didn’t have a bad bite!
Fun little place, recommended by my Uber driver. Nice cozy atmosphere and the food was amazing. Great little restaurant. I highly recommend. I had the venison in mushroom pepper gravy, red beans and rice, and smothered cabbage.
I had the chance to eat at four wonderful highly-rated restaurants while I was in New Orleans, and this was my favorite of the bunch. Environment was fun and interesting, the server was very friendly and patient even though she was busy, and the food was just amazing. We happened to meet Jacques, th
This was our first visit to Jacques-Imo’s restaurant. The funky vibe is definitely different and a lot of fun. They have food selections I have not seen elsewhere and a lot of the old favorites as well. This is some of the best food we have enjoyed anywhere. This is a super casual spot with great se
Really enjoyed this casual dining spot. Atmosphere was neat, service was prompt and the food was on point. We were greeted with some corn muffins and some waters! We need this after a long day of walking. We immediately ordered the shrimp and alligator cheesecake. That we were unable to take a pictu
Fantastic food and great service. There was a wait for a table but that speaks to how popular they are.. to include we were seated in about thirty minutes. Grab a cocktail from the bar while you wait!
The starter cornbread bites were tasty and the appetizer 'shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecak
I wish I could give this place 10 stars! I really only need to say one thing and that is shrimp -alligator cheesecake🤯#mindblown…. Also got the fried black drum and soft shell crab on a bed of grits and fried green tomatoes. Like i said this place crazy good. Also you have to try the fresh watermelo
Great food with better service. Jacques-Imo's didn't disappoint. Our waitress not only took our orders down quickly, she came by with additional plates from the owner. We had twice the dinner we planned! The only slight issue, was the air conditioner was blasting and it was fairly chilly the first 1
Great dining experience off the beaten path. You can’t go wrong with the cheesecake and bbq shrimp.
A MUST when visiting NOLA! This was the first place I dined in upon arriving and it ended up being my favorite during my visit. While there was an hour long wait for a table, I opted in to sit at the full-service bar instead. To start off, the shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake was phenomenal!
If you want the soft shell crab on the weekend, don’t come late. Be there when they first open!! It’s the first thing to go. The next best thing, the bbq shrimp. KC was awesome with our service. Josh was the sweetness bartender.
Fabulous dinner experience. Very lively and fun atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent and every dish we ordered was outstanding. I personally didn’t care so much for the Watermelon Mojito - it wasn’t very strong but I strongly recommend the gumbo and stuffed shrimp.
This was the spot I wanted to go to and they did not disappoint. The panned Rabbit was exquisite! The steak was probably the best I had point blank period!
The first restaurant I visited in New Orleans, and won't regret it. The food was very good, very similar to my country's food.
