Exactly the type of place I love. The staff clearly love their job. They are hilarious and welcoming. Rebecca was amazing. Another server who wasn't even waiting on us was also incredibly entertaining. The food is spectacular. The vibe of the place is great. I'd eat here often if I were local.
Service was super fast and friendly. Ms. Laura was awesome. This place will have a line 20 people deep at busy times. The gumbo had 4 shrimp but 2 of them were not "cleaned." The flavor was good and spicy. The place with the shrimp creole got the chicken soggy because the creole was watery. 2 of the 3 pieces of fried chicken were overcooked because they were small and the big piece was cooked perfectly. Good flavor on the big piece after getting rid of the burnt taste. Most of the food had a good flavor but not everything could be eaten. I'm sure we could come back and have a better experience next time.

We had the sampler plate (started with seafood gumbo, jambalaya, chicken). Great food all around.
The lamb ribs were unbelievably tender. Melted in your mouth as soon as you bit into it.
The seafood gumbo brought a nice, homely heat that opened up my stomach for the ribs and later, the jambalaya supreme.
The supreme was packed with rabbit, pork, shrimp to start. (There was something else, but I cannot remember as this is the afternoon after). Hands down, a MUST TRY at this establishment.
My only qualm is that they ran out of the cookbook, but that just means business is booming.
The staff were also very cordial with their southern hospitality and made us feel more than welcomed.
I shall revisit this place on my next trip down to NOLA.
if it’s your first time, coop’s taste plate lets you try a little bit of a variety of dishes. i highly recommend! this place has a great, casual vibe with funny and straight-to-the-point staff. a great place to stop by for a late night grub before getting drinks around the town!
This was the first time my husband and I ate at Coop's. I'm craving the fried chicken right now!! The Fried chicken was one of the best I have ever had, and I've had a lot of fried chicken. I had the fried shrimp to start and that was awesome!! I knew that shrimp was made in house. We had red beans and rice with the chicken and that was excellent. Have the gumbo also. Yum!!!
Excellent, friendly wait staff/ bartender. Very helpful with my food selection ( I'm a vegetarian), delicious veggie burger, amazing hand cut fries. My wife enjoyed the gumbo & rabbit jambalaya, Shrimp Creole & especially enjoyed the fried chicken, she said it was exactly the way she remembered it in the 1990s. Highly recommend.
A little hole in the wall with fantastic food and drinks. The bartender was friendly and efficient, and our dinners were delicious. We got “Coop’s taste plate” which included seafood gumbo (fabulous), fried chicken (juicy and delightful, perfectly cooked), red beans and rice (slightly under seasoned), rabbit jambalaya (quite good), and shrimp creole (adequate).
We would definitely go back!
We spent the week in the French Quarter and despite all the amazing food options, found ourselves coming back to Coop’s again and again. Fun atmosphere, fast service, great mixed drinks, and truly *incredible* food. Try the fried chicken and jambalaya…and the redfish meunière…and the blackened…never mind, just order everything, it’s all delicious.
I found Coop's wandering through the French Quarter. It's a casual spot, with a delicious menu that is also very reasonably priced (which can be tough to find in the FQ).
The cajun fried chicken came with rabbit&sausage jambalaya, coleslaw, and I added a side of red beans & rice. The Jambalaya had a good spice to it, the chicken was juicy with a crispy skin, the red beans were fantastic; everything was delicious and well-seasoned. Washed it down with a cold beer,
The atmosphere is very casual, music playing, very friendly staff on hand. Would go back in a heartbeat!
So, I don’t like seafood and that makes eating in Louisiana a little difficult. Of course, this place had great reviews and we checked it out. I had the blt with cheese and it was delicious. I’m recommending this to anyone that goes to New Orleans. The fried chicken was AMAZING (pictured in the back)
