I had guests in town and they wanted a place for breakfast that was out of the French Quarter and memorable - Atchafalaya is wonderful - it never disappoints - I like to order a "table cake" that we can share for something extra - its strawberry season so the waffles and strawberries were a must - and - always get the grits - they are unlike any other grit you have ever tasted - and if you like Bloody Mary's - they make them yummy -

I really enjoyed the food and drinks but I felt like the hostess was not very welcoming. One hostess also took a chair from my date and I’s table meanwhile they had a empty table next to us. That was extremely unprofessional and rude. Luckily our waitress was very personable and fun so she saved my experience at a restaurant that I’ve been dying to try for years. I was not disappointed at all by the food since it’s authentic New Orleanian cuisine and the drinks were strong.

We went for Brunch. After we were seated, our server was late in coming to the table. However, other staff noticed and filled in getting us water and putting in our drink order. Service from then on was good and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend!

We really liked the redfish special and the fried oysters. (and the Spanish Gin and Tonic, which is more Portuguese IMO). We ate outside on a sidewalk table which we appreciated since we do not eat indoors. Service was excellent. Just wish the menu has a few more options.

Drinks took forever and we were never offered a second, food took forever and was cold, pork chop was recommended but it was tough and lacked flavor, the shrimp and grits was nothing special, best part of the meal was the corn bread.
