    Great food and service . The fried green tomatoes are outstanding. We also had Etouffee, Jambalaya, Gumbo and the specialty Crawfish and Grits which were all great. The Banana Foster was amazing.

    We had another wonderful dinner at Evangeline’s. It’s a must stop for us on our annual visit to NOLA. The atmosphere, service and food never disappoint.

    Evangeline was a great accidental find. A friendly and attentive staff serving excellent food. I had the crawfish etouffee. Great portion and plenty of crawfish. We also had an Evangeline's Pasta which was beautiful and quite tasty. I didn't see the courtyard seating until we were most of the way through our visit, but I'd give it a try next time. Love the gaslights and rough brick interior. This place should be crowded every night. It wasn't this time. Nice job all. Thank you.

    The service and ambience were great. The atmosphere was cozy. The fried crawfish and fried pickles was great. The jambalaya was not the “standard” treatment but it was very good. The Acadia crawfish and grits was good, a bit under seasoned. Our only gripe is that the entrees came out within minutes of getting the appetizers.

    Food was ok. Service was good. Be mindful when paying the bill. They added an extra $10 if you choose to pay with a credit card. Never seen that before.

    Fantastic fried green tomatoes! Excellent bartender who sensed we would rather have been seated outside. He stepped up and made the effort to find us a table in the lovely courtyard. Really reasonable yummy comfort food. Kind staff. Will be back!
