Cute spot with delicious food and attentive service. Try the brisket...it’s melt in your mouth delicious.
The best food and service I’ve ever had! We went during happy hour and that was awesome too! Loved everything about this place! You set the bar high the rest of our trip!
Great food, not sure if it's worth the price - "delicious, but a little boring for the money" was my family's catchphrase for the night. The risotto balls and the blackened drum with crawfish risotto were fabulous! The blueberry panna cotta was also ridiculously good. However, the squash pomodoro was pretty bland and needed the addition of the (very good) shrimp and there wasn't a single wine bottle under $32 - a common thing in NOLA but a little disappointing! (Especially since our white wine was warm....) Mostly delicious, but not if you're on a budget!
Great place and definitely lived up to our expectations. Service was exceptional as well. The atmosphere was perfect. Would definitely recommend the special crawfish cheesecake appetizer.

Split Decision. We took some friends visiting from Colorado to dinner Friday night, not knowing that there was a new chef at the helm. The menu was slightly different but the food was still amazing. We dined here with a large group a year or so ago for a birthday and everything was so wonderful, we wanted to share this gem with our visitors.
The delicious food couldn't make up for the horrible service we received. We were a party of 6, so we ordered several menu items to share, plus a bottle of wine, cocktails and beers. Not sure if our hipster waiter decided we were going to be cheap tippers because we were sharing items, but as soon as we ordered our entrees, we were left alone for the most part. Dirty appetizer plates were left for the entire meal. He never checked to see if we wanted another round of drinks, we had to wave him over. He checked on us once after entrees were delivered and we never heard from him again. It was very clear that we were celebrating a person's birthday and dessert was never offered. We were his last table in the dining room and sat there with no drinks, no dessert staring at him while he had the bartender make him a cocktail and they shared a laugh during their discussion about their post work plans. I finally had to verbally summon him to our table so we could get the check. He was on top of it then, eager for us to pay. After his fake banter about being from New Orleans, etc, which he isn't, he again went back to his cocktail at the bar and waited for us to exit. We will never return here because of his service or lack of. What an embarrassment to bring our out of town friends here and have them treated like this on their birthday.
My sister and I recently dined here and EVERYTHING was fabulous. Service, food, atmosphere, and company. We enjoyed everything and the next table enjoyed everything, too. I will be bringing any out-of-town guests here to dine.
It had been some years since I had dined here & I am the one who has been missing out. A sensational culinary show. The chicken & rice soup w/ tarragon was in a class of its own. The escargot app is exquisite. Great service. I can't say enough about my dining experience earlier.

Grand Slam!. A welcoming ambiance accompanied by a delicious array of dishes! Jules, our waitress, was informative, friendly and very attentive. Today my Foodie friend and I had the bruschetta (goat cheese with basil, diced tomato, fried capers, chopped red onion and cold smoked salmon) which was simple and divine. The kitchen bread knife gets a good workout as you9 insure you get all the goodness off the cheese board! The Carpaccio, served with arugula, capers, lemon, shaved parmigiano was good but tough in certain sections. My friend ordered the Gumbo (andouille sausage, chicken and shrimp) as her second course and it had uniquley distinct flavor and was excellent! One of the better gumbos we've had in the city. For our entrees we ordered the Raviolini (black truffle Raviolini, jumbo lump crab meat and Fontina cream sauce) which was a small portion but perfectly served according to the richness. We also ordered the braised short rib with bourbon au jour, served with roasted brussel sprouts and smashed garlic potatoes--this was a FULL plate of goodness--but since we had already thoroughly tantalized our taste buds, there was some to bring home. Tradition called for a shared dessert, which was the bananas foster bread pudding with chocolate rum sauce--warm and rich to the last bite!! We'll be returning to for another great meal for sure, and the GM was glad to hear this when he rounded at our table at the beginning and end of our meal.
Enjoyed the experience Alt.... Enjoyed the experience
Although scared of the new owner ship I ventures to Dick and Jennys to see what the new menu holds
I was presently surprised to see my old favorites such as fried oysters and the stuffed pork on the menu as well as many great additions. In a single statement Dick and Jennys has taken a turn for the better I will be back and tell everyone to do the same
I have eaten at Dick and Jenny's twice in the past week if that tells you anything about the quality of their service and food! From their fried green tomatoes and barbecue shrimp starters to their braised ribs that fell off the bone, I can't say enough about how fabulous this place is for true foodies! The service was impeccable both times I visited, even on a Saturday night during a convention that brought 35k visitors to NOLA. Dick and Jenny, our hat is off to you!

Top 5 in NOLA. Went here last night for my Mom's birthday. This is a place you would definitely want to make a reservation, just a heads up. The waitress was great, our glasses never got half empty. The dining room was busy too. Great wine and cocktail menu. For appetizers we had the fried oysters and fried green tomatoes w/ shrimp, both super fresh and fried to perfection. I had the vegetarian lasagna, it was creamy and the vegetables were so fresh. Seriously the best vegtarian dish I've had since moving to NOLA last summer. Mom had short ribs, meat fell off the bone and was nothing short of delectable. Desserts, whoa. They seriously just raised the bar. My daughter had the ice cream sundae that consisted of 2 chocolate chip cookies that were larger than her head with vanilla creole creamery ice cream in between and hot fudge on top. The waitress described the bread pudding as yumminess, she was right. Overall, this is now in my top 5 restaurants here in NOLA. Hands down. Looking forward to eating her again, and again.
One of the city's best. I've only lived in Nola a few months. One of my coworkers recommended the place when i first moved here and I'm glad they did. Still the best food I've eaten so far.

5 stars. Yes.
FOOD, service, employee personality, in my neighborhood, all together, add up to A WINNER.
The girl who would be my girlfriend and I have been walking by Dick and Jenny's for months, saying "We should try this", but kept walking by. Finally (and thankfully), we did.
It's clean, nice atmosphere, not the greatest decor, but ...ok. The servers were polite, friendly, engaging and appreciative of compliments.
THE FOOD:
Started with a fried green tomatoes appetizer. It comes with a couple of (cold) shrimp and remoulade. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best I've tasted. Light breading, tart, sweet tomato flavor, excellently done to light brown perfection. The shrimp were peeled, and remoulade was excellent. An impressive start.
I had the beef short ribs for an entree. Described on the menu as "Braised boneless angus beef short ribs, sauteed chard, garlic mashed potatoes and port wine demi-glace". Yes. It delivers on flavor. The short ribs just pulled apart, no knife needed. Soft, tasty, packed with deliciousness. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The garlic was not overpowering and with the demi-glace was awesome. The chard added a touch of bitter that balanced the sweet of the demi-glace. Satisfaction. Well worth the $26.
The girl who would be my girlfriend had the Eggplant rollatini. The eggplant was thinly sliced, and rolled around a mix of ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, wild mushroom and garlic. A delicious tomato-vodka sauce is spooned on top (not swimming in it). Kind of reminded me of manicotti with eggplant instead of pasta being the vessel to hold the ingredients. An excellent dish if you're carb-conscious. This is a great tasting dish.
As a side, we had the Sambal-honey roasted brussel sprouts with smoked pork belly. Let me take a second to close my eyes and retaste it in my mind. Mmmmmm. Can't say enough. The best, most flavorful dish of the night. Which is not to take away from any of the other dishes we had. I could have eaten a bowl of this.
For dessert, we shared a strawberry panna cotta. Light, smooth mouthfeel, and a subtle sweet taste. Perfect palate cleanser and end to a perfect meal.
We told 2 servers how great the food was and they were appreciative of the compliments and said how good it feels to hear it. I stopped by the kitchen and thanked them for a great meal.
Dick and Jenny's quickly became one of our favorite neighborhood places.
The decor, adorable. The service, outstanding. The food was amazing! A different take on seafood favorites, such as the crab topped fried green tomatoes appetizer. I was impressed with every bit of this experience!
I had the honor and the privilege to find this place while I was working in the area. They allowed me to do a little work around their establishment, as they continually reinvest to make this place a true Haven 4 authentic Cajun Creole food. I also got to spend time in the kitchen and watch MERLIN CREATE HIS MAJESTIC MENUES!!
With is lovely wife in the middle of this tapestry she would cut and slice and dice and set up the dishes with the most eye a creativity a plate has ever presented. Waving her tools like a magic wand the rest of the delightful staff working in unison to have the food ready for the food servers to deliver these artistic feast to the many customers sitting around the tables.in the awesome authentic dining areas. smiling faces or mouths wide open eyes glistening
Merlin was an amazing host and chef and Sammy took great care of us, as our waiter. The food, sigh, so lovely. Complex flavors that are still comforting.
See Sammie! Incredible server and so knowledgeable regarding the local area. Love him! The food was perfection too. Must experience!
The service was excellent and the fried green tomatoes with shrimp romaloude was fabulous, as well as the oyster fritters and crawfish beignets.
Ate dinner tonight with a group of friends tonight and it was incredible. The food was so tasty and perfect. I had the drum and my friends ordered a variety of other dishes from the menu. Sammy was our server and he made the night. Super fun guy that was very attentive and on top of his game. I love this place because it’s a local’s place that does quality Louisiana cooking the right way!
Being that our names are Dick and Jenni this was a must stop for us! Booked through open table, seated promptly. Our waitress however definitely needed a night off, career change, attitude adjustment or all of the above. She's the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars.
The chargrilled oysters were different than anywhere else I've had and surprisingly very good!! We almost ordered more!!
The cornbread was really yummy as well!!
I didn't have my reading glasses and lo and behold, they brought a bag full to choose from. Genius!!
The main entrees were delicious!! My friends got a fish order, I don't even like fish but it was actually really good!! There wasn't a bite of food left I don't think.
We'll be back for certain, hopefully with better service though.
The food was absolutely fantastic. Our server Melissa was kind and very enthusiastic during the entire experience. We went looking for an authentic New Orleans experience and these folks delivered. Their housemade pasta was the best I've ever had. I'm so happy that we stumbled on this gem.
Super happy we came here. Josh was the best server I have had in a long time. The chef came out said hello and made a fantastic dinner. Could not be happier! Also great wine list with very fair prices
