    The food was amazing and so delicious. The drag queens knew how to slay and made the experience enjoyable as a whole. They were phenomenal. Things that did NOT make our experience epic…the AC was either not on or barely blowing, and with as much as we were paying for food and drinks, we should have had a working AC. Many of us kept having to fan ourselves to keep us from overheating. Secondly, NOWHERE on this app/or The Country Club website does it say that if you book a large party, that there is only one check and that it cannot be split up. When we were sat down, we were told each table would have a check. My group had 3 tables total and my friend who paid for our table was shocked when she was charged almost $500 for EVERYONE’S food and drinks. Thankfully the rest of my friends were on the ball with sending money to my friend who was charged, but that took us out of the overall experience especially when management wouldn’t work with us.

    The only complaint is that there is no liquor service in between shows. We arrived early and there is nowhere to buy a drink. Everything else was perfect. Once we were sat, service, food, drinks and show were amazing.

    We went for drag brunch. Service was great! So was the food. I had fried green tomatoes with poached eggs. My eggs were spot on, but another person at my table didn’t get the perfect runny yolk. Everything tasted good, though. I’m glad the queens walked from room to room and spent about the same amount of time in each room. Otherwise it was difficult for one of our party to see, being tucked into a corner behind a curtain. It was also really hard to hear the MC, so we weren’t quite sure what was was going on until we heard a queen’s name. Super fun experience. We will be back.

    I decided to try The Country Club for the first time to celebrate my birthday with some family. Although it was a wait, it was well worth it. While we waited, we were able to take a bunch of pictures around the place. Their food was tasty, perfectly portioned, and hot. I look forward to coming back with some more family and friends!

The food was delicious and came in very generous portions. I loved the decor and vibe of the whole restaurant and will definitely be back next time I am in town!

    I took my 77 year old Mom to Drag Brunch on Sunday. It was the most Wholesome, Sweet, and Uplifting experience! Everyone from the Security Guards outside to the servers and hosts were kind, and accommodating. The show was very entertaining: every performer had a unique style and knew how to work the crowd without making anyone feel uncomfortable. The mood of the dining room was very upbeat and conversations between tables were common. The staff was great about taking group pictures for diners, and the MC asked everyone about special occasions they were celebrating, and brought out personalized celebratory cookies during a break in the show. I haven't even mentioned the food yet, but it was excellent. I had heard good reviews of the food before from friends, and we were not disappointed! Delicious!! The performers were so kind to my Mom and matched her enthusiasm for their performances. We have wonderful pictures with them to remember such an amazing day! Anyone who enjoys unique entertainment and appreciates hospitality, should make a reservation immediately for Drag Brunch, a Date Night, or a fun group meetup at The Country Club!!

    Fresh, local ingredients. A beautiful dining room. A menu that has enough variety for those who are intimidated by fancy dishes but also lots for foodies to love. Our waiter was attentive and kind. The decor is beautiful. This place would be perfect for a bridal shower or birthday meal. I try to bring people here every time I’m in New Orleans.
