Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Country Club offers "a fabulous brunch experience" with energetic drag shows and vibrant atmosphere in a "beautiful venue." While some dishes like the "crab beignets" and "redfish" receive praise, the "drag brunch" is a standout favorite. Service is attentive, and the cocktails are "imaginative and very good."

I was disappointed. Drag show was boring most of the time, mostly lip syncs, barely any comedy. Food was also boring, comparing to what we get in NOLA. Not bad, just not that good for what they charge. Dessert was an enormous disappointment, it looked (and tasted) like a Walmart-bought chocolate popsicle.

Completely underwhelming. We were excited to go here and so disappointed that the waitstaff, kitchen and bar could care less that we were here. The waiter did the absolute minimum for service and not even close to fine dining. The drinks were completely boring- my husbands lemongrass specialty cocktail tasted like nothing. The cauliflower was okay but the crab beignets (supposedly a specialty) tasted like battered mush and the chicken dish over polenta, with what I’m guessing was semi rehydrated mushrooms, was so clearly just thrown on a plate. I know I sound like a B right now but it was a real bummer on date night. Won’t be back and would have liked to do the drag brunch. Maybe that would have camouflaged the menu?

Drag brunch was awesome! So much fun! They were also very accommodating, we had our suit cases with us which they held on to and were quick to grab them when we had to leave early for the airport!

This is a lovely place to dine. Service is always excellent. Crab bignets were excellent. The redfish was very good, though the servings were somewhat smaller than expected. There was a new cocktail menu that did not disappoint. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Performers were vibrant and the food was really good. The staff were well organized. It’s noisy so don’t plan to do a lot of talking.

Ambiance décontractée dans une maison authentique joliment décorée. Plats bien fait. Rien d’extravagant ni prétentieux. Une belle suite de petites salles enveloppantes. De magnifiques fleurs peintes à la main sur les murs, une petite vibe Alice au pays des merveilles. Et le personnel absolument divin présent et discret à la fois. Un bout de paradis sur terre le Country Club 💛

Don’t go for the food. The food is super subpar for NOLA, unfortunately. It’s all pre-prepared , poached eggs = hard boiled eggs, short rib is cooked well done no matter how you order it. Chilaquiles were actually amazing. Italian salads at the next table looked tasty. Will try those next time. Go for the party! Drinks were great. Queens were amazing and fun and engaging. Overall, we will be back.

It was a fun experience, but you’re not going there for the food and drinks. Those were not great and not horrible either. The entertainment looked tired but maybe it was our tables location. We don’t regret going, but wouldn’t go again.
