   The food was delicious, but the service was incredibly slow. We also had drinks, and the bloody mary was extremely water down and lacked any flavor.

   The food was just okay - nothing spectacular. We had burgers & nothing stood out. The drinks were okay - although expensive. The brownie for dessert was disappointing.

   This place is always amazing. They were having a slow service day due to being short staffed but our server went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. I’ve literally never had food from here that wasn’t AMAZING and the drinks are always high quality too. I can’t recommend it enough if you love southern food.

   Mother’s Day menu; skimpy portions; food not bad. Why change the menu just for a holiday. Probably not going back.

   Brown Butter Southern Kitchen & BarResponded on May 10, 2022

   Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback May I ask what you ordered? The holiday portions are our standard portions, and we feel that we serve generous portions. Regarding the truncated menu for Mother’s Day, since the holiday was coinciding with Jazzfest, we decided to focus on less options, while keeping our normal price point, so that we could operate as efficiently as possible.I really am sorry to hear you won’t be coming back, but as a wise man once said “them’s the breaks”.

   We have eaten at Brown Butter several times, and it never disappoints. A great neighborhood restaurant that offers upscale dishes and drinks but in a casual family friendly sitting.

    Brown Butter would do well to add Chicken and Waffles to their daily menu and not limit the dish to Sunday Brunch. It’s a prominent attractive feature on the website that creates expectations resulting in customer disappointment when it’s not available.

    We went for Easter Brunch. Brown Butter makes WORLD CLASS cocktails. I've never been disappointed. Food overall was excellent, the starters and dessert were fantastic-but the sauce on the short rib benedict was far too sweet. Otherwise, it was a great meal

    We love this place and are sooo gratified that so far it has survived the pandemic and its economic impact on the hospitality industry in general and restaurants and bars in particular. This also was our second Easter Sunday Brunch with Brown Butter. The food is incredible and the vibe is warm. Our server was attentive though he missed a few things, all totally forgivable. Thanks for making this a special day.

    Burgers and appetizers were delicious, but two of my guests ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken was so tuff they couldn’t eat it which was really disappointing. Waiter seemed very uninterested and not helpful with answering questions or volunteering feedback in what to order.

    Brown Butter Southern Kitchen & BarResponded on April 22, 2022

    Hey there! I am so sorry to hear that your guests chicken was so tough that they couldn't enjoy it! Did you let your server know? We would have loved an opportunity to make things right for them. As far as your server being uninterested, I apologize for that as well. I'd love to get some more information about your visit. My contact info follows below, please don't hesitate to contact me via text/phone/email any time. Simon Beck Brown Butter (504)390-1577

    My eggs were overdone but quickly remedied by the staff. The menu was a twist on classics. Be warned that the biscuits are grilled, leaving a griddle taste instead of light airy biscuity goodness. The fried chicken is a thigh and is juicy good with a nice crust. The grits are probably the best thing on the menu.

    Hey Anonymous, Thanks so much for stopping in and for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We are bummed to hear that you felt the grits were probably the best thing on our menu. We feel like we've got a lot to offer outside of our grits, and am so sorry that you didn't find anything else you liked. We hope you'll give us another shot, and if you'd like to reach out, I'd be happy to hear more about your visit. Simon Beck Owner Brown Butter (504)390-1577

    Food was overall good. I ordered the scallops and shrimp as a main dish, it arrived in a smallish bowl. Didn’t at all look like an entree. Service excellent.

    Brown Butter Southern Kitchen & BarResponded on March 28, 2022

    Hey Melissa, Thanks so much for the feedback and for stopping by! We do serve our scallops and shrimp in a bowl that isn't your standard size for an entree, but it's more for the aesthetic. We serve 3 U-10 sized scallops per entree, along with 3-4 shrimp on that dish, but will definitely take this feedback into consideration when discussing the plating of our entrees! We hope you were able to enjoy the scallops, nonetheless!

    What a charming fabulous little restaurant! We are vacationing here in New Orleans and really wanted some authentic deep southern cooking and definitely found it here at Brown Butter. The brisket literally melted in my mouth, it was so tender! My husband's smoked chicken was out of this world and the boudin egg rolls were super yummy and I wished I'd ordered some to go. The service was over the top. Seriously. Our server even wrote down some lesser known sites to see while in town. I give this place a 10 out of 10!
