We got off to a rough start after being seated. It seems the less busy a restaurant is the worse the service is. That was our experience. Our reservation was a half-hour after opening. It took an extremely long time for our food order to be taken and the waiter started to walk away without taking a drink order. My husband had to call out to him that he wanted a bottle of wine. Blah blah blah on service problems. We finally got our wine, second choice as the first wasn’t available, and the food began arriving as did other patrons.

Service stepped up. The grilled Romain salad was delicious and the shrimp balls (whatever they were) were very good although the sauce was a bit spicy for me. We both had the pastrami sandwich which was excellent. As our lunch progressed, service improved and we did enjoy our experience in the end.

Delicious food, shaky service!

I ate at the counter by myself facing into the kitchen. The staff was too busy to talk but they put on a great show and put out some amazing food!

My friends in the neighborhood really like this place but they were way off the day we went. That was hard because my date is super critical of places that charge but do not deliver. The staff was wonderful and the salads and appetizers were darn good. BUT the menu item we came for that was featured on the menu was not available. Because it was fish and chips they gave us shrimp instead in the fish and chips batter....small shrimp.

When they say fish and chips or anything with chips that is what they mean......Potato Chips! Yes they were home made but soaked in grease that made our hands shiner after each one. They were (and everything was) covered in excessive salt and I am a big salt lover.

My pastrami sandwich was on such chewy bread I had trouble cutting it with a knife and it too was outrageously salty and I gave it to my dining partner to make up for the tiny shrimp and greasy chips.

We paid $57 for the above even on a special local menu. I guess we ordered the wrong thing on the wrong day cooked by the wrong people.

We went home to power down some tums.

Oh well.

I’m a pretty big foodie and I gotta say this is easily among my top 5 all time meals. Makes me proud to say New Orleans food can top anything else on the planet. The gulf seafood couvillion was amazing as well as everything else on the menu (our group ordered nearly everything on the menu haha). Will be coming back for sure.

First time. Enjoyed. Food was excellent. Will definitely be bad. Highly recommend.

Meatery board is fantastic!

Awesome food. Tried new things. Waitress was ok but not up to the caliber and training that one would except at a fine restaurant like this. We would go back and recommend to friends.

Waitress was rude. It was hot as hell in there. Won’t be back.

Excellent and very creative menu. Wide selection of appetizers including boudin balls and bacon wrapped dates, fresh vegetables, cheese and meat plates. All entrees are excellent, lamb neck, quail, venison, steak, pork chop, chicken. you cannot go wrong.

It was our first meal in New Orleans and left a more than favourable impression The service was friendly attentive and informed.
Our main course venison melted in your mouth. Not a strong gamey taste but

distinctive nevertheless. We finished by sharing a Panna Cotta and a delicious cake from the specials menu
featuring salted caramel and peanut butter. Another highpoint.

They also made a mean Negroni- just to my taste.

Chef Isaac and his team did an outstanding job with the Woodford dinner. The food and bourbons were paired perfectly and the wait staff did a great job of pacing the food and drinks.

Everything was wonderful!

Food was amazing. Service was alright. Not bad but not super disappointed. Greatttt food though.

Toup's never disappoints--the assorted meat plate is fantastic. I always get the lamb entree, but this time I strayed from my favorite and got the Wagyu beef--it was heaven. So tender and juicy. Oh and the cracklins are to die for. Yum!

Excellent service, atmosphere, and food. Absolutely pleasurable experience, I will eat there again very soon

We've been going to Toups since they opened. During that time we've had some amazingly flavorful meals crafted with tons of creativity. One of our go-to items is the Covey Rise Veggies (regardless of how they are prepared that day). However, within the past year I have had two meals that were WAY TOO salty.

This most recent lunch trip to Toups there were no problems with the salt level. However, the restaurant was understaffed, so the servers (only two on the floor working tables and the bar) were running around frantically and the kitchen seemed to be struggling as well. We sat for 45 minutes before receiving the veggies we ordered as a starter and then another 20 before our sandwiches arrived. The food itself was very good (the shrimp roll and fried chicken sandwich).

The food was excellent. The service was somewhat slow but we went on July 4th and it we understood there may be delays to people taking time off. Overall, it was a fabulous experience.

Exceeded expectations. Be aware that serving are large. This would be a great place to order apps then entrees to share. Nice wine selection!

We had lunch and fried chicken and fish sandwiches were out of this world.

Was blown away. My new favorite restaurant.

Nice quiet little place.
The staff was more than friendly and very helpful in explaining all of the dishes.
The food itself was just amazing!!
Definitely going back.

Other than a loud party next to our table, the food was absolutely astounding. Got the pork tenderloin chops and boudain balls along with delicious bourbon cocktails.

Loud

Slow service

Food was way too salty

Exceptional! Modern and creative takes on cajun cuisine using extraordinary meats. Go now!

The food was great. We started with the meat board as an appetizer and almost everyone at the table tried a different entree. The quail was a perfect size, however the pork chop and ribeye were big enough to share. We will dine here again!

Delicious appetizers and entree. Dessert not as good.

We had reservations last year for Toup’s but had to cancel due to a hurricane. This trip we were determined to try it. We had the appetizer Cracklings. Our entrees were (1) Lamb neck with black eyes peas and shaved pickled fennel and (2) Confit chicken thighs with mustard sauce and braised collard greens. Perfectly prepared and one of the best dining experiences ever. Will come back again and again and again.

When you walk in the door and see Larry Nguyen, you KNOW the red carpet is about to roll out! This fella exudes hospitality greatness! He runs the show like a conductor to a fine orchestra! Smooth, efficient, breathtaking delivery of hospitality personified! And the food? I almost ruled outta there!

Outstanding meal. The specials were fantastic. I may have had the best pork chop of my life! Service was great.

Everything was tasty but over seasoned / heavily salted.

Their Meatery board is a must try!! So good it’s gonna blow your mind

Best meal we've had at Toups. The venison and chicken were spectacularly well prepared. Very fine desserts. Service was excellent. A terrific experience.

Theo, our server, was outstanding!!!
This Neal was great...a must go-to place!!

Overall disappointed. Server came around only a few tunes the whole meal, had our appetizer and entree come out at the same time, then our drinks came halfway through our meal despite ordering them first. My drink was a let down and the server didn’t come by again until our meal was done to see how things were. I would have asked for a different drink but she was too late by then.

First time dining today but certainly will not be the last! Definitely recommend the Meatery board. We had the Ribeye special and it was amazing!

Just waited an hour at our table for a chicken sandwich. Not impressed.

The daily sausage was wonderful and it was the best burger I’ve ever had!

Always our first stop in New Orleans and this trip did not disappoint! Toup's continues to have the best venison dish in NOLA! my wife loved the artichoke app which our server made an excellent beer pairing that I would have never thought of. Heard that the bacon Doberge cake is going away and we are going to miss it. Saw Chef Isaac at the grill and did not want to bother him but glad to see him hands-on at his place.

Brilliant food. Casual atmosphere. Service was beyond excellent yet not stiff and cold. Our server who was also a bartender was superb. His recommendations were to die for! Visit and taste some incredible food in a town known for great restaurants !!

The food is delicious! The cheeses offered are yummy as were all the entrees ordered by my table. Our server was wonderful as well!
