burgers for kids where mediocre;
gumbo okay but nothing special;

The crabmeat cheesecake is a must!

Food was okay, but not scrumptious as expected. I heard really good reviews. I did return my food back because what I ordered was not exactly what I received, but they made it better.

Summer is my favorite time to go to Palace Cafe bc Temperature Lunch is a solid deal. Great food at an amazing price! This place can be a little noisy but at lowered capacity it's so much quieter (side effect of Covid). You do have to wear a mask when walking around but while seated, you don't. All the staff are wearing masks and they are sanitizing the tables/chairs in between each guest seating. Servers also wore disposable gloves when handling food and I noticed them changing gloves often. Staff were all friendly, accommodating, and seemingly happy to see us.

Loyld was outstanding. Turtle soup is the best. AAA

Everything we ordered was fantastic! Great service as well. Highly recommend the crab cheesecake starter.

Excellent food and quick service. They are going above and beyond to ensure the dining experience is safe but still enjoyable during this time. They are charging an automatic 18% gratuity, but if you want to tip more (you will), be sure to bring CASH as you cannot add it to you bill.

Great service and friendly staff willing to answer all my questions with a smile! Prompt! Food was delicious and so flavorful. We will be back!

It was awful. Had to sit and watch thugs dealing stolen goods out of their trunk. Saw several cars pull up and $$ changing hands. Talked to manager and were told it was a public street. We will never go back and passed it along to former owner, Dickie Brennan. Terrible.

Wonderful!!!

As usual, everything was good. The food, the service, etc.

As always, Palacd Cafe is a delight. We love visiting for temperature lunches - especially on rainy days when the gumbo hits just right. Excellent service; they really have their A Team working right now, and we’re so grateful that they’re open and working during this uncertain time.

Service was Superb , Cassie customer service was excellent

OUTSTANDING

The food was goof, just not quite up to Their normal standards. Also, we ordered the white chi slate bread pudding which we normally love and it melts in your mouth. We ordered it this time and it was disappointing. The pudding was room temp, not hot, and it was dry, not custard. The sauce didn’t taste right either. That was a big disappointment.

If you are looking for classic New Orleans cuisine in a casual environment, this is the place. Great service. Don't miss the Bananas Foster!

Good food, great service, reasonable value ... it was most enjoyable.

Ross was great!!!!

Always great food and excellant service. Table was ready at reservation time

Very touristy, go to local restaurants before you go here. Over priced for decent food.

I’m happy and grateful for Palace cafe and the staff that they are staying open and serving their great food through these troubling times. Thank you!

Great service, Great food! We had Nigel as our server, he was excellent. Definitely would recommend trying them out, especially their fabulous bananas foster!

Absolutely perfect. First time going. Pecan catfish and the crab cheesecake was amazing. They were very covid conscious. Wiping down tables, chairs and wall when a table left. Disposable menus and the silver covered napkins wrapped in plastic. We will be back.

I have been to the Palace Café about five times and it is always outstanding in all aspects.

We were very happy to find out that Palace Cafe was open for business in the middle of this current situation. We had eaten there before plenty of times so the choice was an easy one. Plenty of distancing and cleaning practices were evident, but not awkward. The service outstanding as usual and the food was delicious.

Ross was an amazing server, he could work at the finest establishment-and he elevated our experience for sure! Thank you!

This was the first date my wife and I have taken since the coronavirus shutdowns. Although the restaurant experience was different than before COVID, we were proud to be supporting the local hospitality industry and had a fantastic experience- were even serenaded during our pre-dinner cocktails. Our meals were fantastic and service was excellent.

I had the temperature lunch special. Gumbo Ya Ya and a beef/crawfish salad with coconut balsamic dressing. Absolutely delicious and with the 18% gratuity they add to cover all staff (so smart), it was less than $12. Unfortunately, my colleague had to cancel when I was already seated, but the staff was so lovely that it wasn't at all awkward.

Always a favourite to take someone out for a special meal! Staff made my mother’s birthday, and her first time here so wonderful!

Great service and food was delicious. My first time and the staff gave us a great time.

Wonderful food and service as always.

Father’s Day

Great Father’s Day lunch! Very clean, ALL employees had mask on and all tables were far apart! We will defiantly go back soon!

We believe in supporting our French Quarter Restaurants since they are missing out on tourism dollars during this pandemic. Palace Cafe’s food and service was outstanding as usual. Three of us had our favorite Shrimp Tchefuncta, which was awesome, but we only got 4 shrimp on a $23 dish. We told the waiter and manager about our disappointment and they offered to comp our meal which we did not accept, but the manager did give us all an after dinner drinks, which was very nice but we complained mainly for their benefit. I do not know of any restaurant that only gives you 4 shrimp as an entree.

Fathers’ day was a special treat at Palace Cafe. Staff did an admirable job with all the social distancing procedures going in. Chef John prepared a spectacular Chateaubriand.

Went their for Father’s Day. The food and service was excellent. They let my daughter order off the dinner menu, so she could get the filet she wanted. The table spacing, mask wearing, and social distancing was very good. I would go there again and again.

Service was some of the best I’ve ever experienced.

Great service and delicious food!!!
Social distancing was in check and all employees wore gloves and mask! Will go back.

There was an 18% surcharge added to the meal that was not disclosed before and the tip could not be paid on credit card. Tip had to be cash. Otherwise food was good.

Sat outside with nice breeze and took advantage of the temperature special. What a deal!
Everything was delicious. I heartedly recommend.
