   Food was overall very good, but some of it was "cold"; and we believe that is because it was Thanksgiving Day and extremely busy.

   We were sat, our order taken, but it took over an hour to get our meals. We were a party of two. We saw within our area at least three other tables sat AFTER us including a table of 4 AND they got their meals within a matter of minutes (15-20 minutes). We had to ask twice before our food finally arrived. What did we order? The special of the day on Thanksgiving. You’d think those items are more cafeteria style service of having items ready and serving it up. But over an hour?

   The food was excellent with one big exception. The fried chicken was as dry as a bone. It seemed to have been cooked way in advance and then reheated. Whatever happened to it, it was close to inedible. I’ve enjoyed fried chicken here many times in the past and it was juicy with a nice crust. Today’s was as far from that as it could be. Neither of my guests ate the grilled corn. It too was very dry and the kernels were shriveled. Too long on the grill, perhaps. Corn bread, biscuits, beignets, meatloaf, mash, collard greens, turkey all excellent. Wish I’d ordered something other than the fried chicken. For fried chicken, I’ll go back to Creole Soul.

   We went with a group of 5 for a 40th birthday brunch. Our service was soooooooo sloooooow. We were there for 2 hours and only had 2 drinks. Every single step took forever and took away from the experience. We even had to track down our server who was standing at the food pickup window chatting about football. Then the system was down and it took 25 minutes to pay our bill. The food was great but it was louder than I expected when I booked the place. I only gave 3 stars because the food was good.

   Came here for my birthday dinner, looking forward to some great New Orleans cuisine. It was sad to see the restaurant so empty on a Saturday night. Hardly anyone in the place at 7:15pm. Service was average. Was looking forward to the Gumbo all week, but of course it was the one thing on the menu that they were out of. Went for the catfish jambalaya. Fish was good, has 2 shrimp in entire plate and the rice was hard, didn’t seemed cooked all the way. The Mac and cheese was great. Mentioned to server that I was wanting to get the beignet for my birthday dessert. When time came they told me that the oven was turned off and they weren’t making them anymore. Overall I was looking so forward to having my birthday dinner at the porch, knowing their menu. Was totally disappointed with the atmosphere and not having the dishes I had looked forward to. Especially the beignets for my birthday dessert. Don’t plan to come back anytime soon.

   We were the last reservation of the night. Food lacked flavor but I’ve been before and it was delicious

   Food was good and it was a energetic brunch. Food and drinks too a long time to arrive.

    First time. Tried Banana Foster French Toast. Wasn’t the best but the bacon was delicious. Friend had chicken and waffles which looked delicious. Ambience was great. Services was excellent.
