    Service was lackluster and took away from the experience. Our food was good and so were the drinks. Lost of flying bugs inside you had to dodge

    Great food, excellent service in very nice nice atmosphere. A wonderful overall dining experience. The blackened redfish melted in your mouth as moans of ecstasy escaped your lips, and the red beans and rice with sausage is a must-have if you enjoy the basic creole staple. The drinks were also some of the best around.

    Came two days in a row for happy hour and to use a Groupon. Char grilled oysters are amazing. I came years ago when they were $1 an oyster. Inflation sucks! The service was was also friendly.

    Had a wonderful dinner at New Orleans Creole Cookery! The food and drinks were excellent—flavorful, hearty, and exactly what you’d hope for in a Creole meal. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server, Terrill, was incredibly nice and attentive throughout the evening. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable with his warm and professional demeanor. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a delicious and filling dinner in New Orleans!

    We have been going to this place since 2021. The host service has been inconsistent (good or bad) to better serve the customers the host staff needs to be a bit welcoming. Our waiter did a good job we were pleased with his service. The food was outstanding. If you would ask if we would come back, it’s hard to say.
