Good variety of Norlens food, both slow cooked and fast food. Drink variety was good. The best part of coming here was the entertainment. The live band was terrific. There was a $5 cover charge per person for the band. They did a great job and we fronted another decent sized tip in the bucket that had upfront on stage before we left.
It is not a mystery to me why this restaurant is so well rated. From the moment I saw the food arrive, to the last bite, I was satisfied. This is also a great place to be adventurous and try the local foods you have never tried. The music was good too of course. This was the first place I tried shrimp and grits, and still am thinking about how good it was.
Had my husband's surprise 50th Birthday Party at BB Kings. Loved the 3rd floor balcony! The food was delicious and having our own bar kept the drinks flowing. Close enough to the band, dance floor, and crowd but private enough to sit, eat, and have conversations without screaming. Simple cannot compliment their staff enough! They helped unload the decorations, worked the elevator, and checked with us often to see if we needed anything. It was a great night!
Such a fun place! Its downtown New Orleans but it's a more calm and fun environment, instead of a roudy drunk crowd. The wait staff was super nice. When we arrived we didnt know we needed a reservation our cab driver told us about this place so when we showed up we were on the waitlist. They said 45-60 minutes. We waited almost 1.5 hours. They used open table and texted us so we were able to walk around to near by shops. The food was GREAT! I got the ribs and fried pickles. Both were amazing! Our waitress was great! The band that played was amazing $5 cover charge and the singers were great!
I had such a great, fun time! The live music was awesome and you could get up and dance! I had the ribs and chicken meal which my mom and I shared! It was delicious! This wad definitely one of my faves!
Overall this is very good and by hands done the best service we had in NOLA. Thank you Sara for being so prompt and attentive. The food was amazing! We had the grilled shrimp, then ribs and pulled pork. Top notch. We even tried the deviled eggs with crawfish. The first band we heard was so good and felt truly like blues. But, when the house band played and had the crowd dancing to the "oldies" it turned a little to commercial for us. Great atomsphere and great service with good food. Luck of the draw on the band.
Fantastic place !! Food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Service was very good thank you Ben, our waiter. Go for dinner with the live music ! A true New Orleans experience. Chucky C Chuck Elam and the band were fantastic and so much fun !
Live band was awesome. As advertised, the meat really falls off the bones, very tasty. Service was very good. Overall great place for food and music!!!
Delicious FOOD, Eclectic atmosphere! Everything on the menu was delicious and the service was efficient. The band was awesome, a welcome rest stop with cool air and cold beer. when trudging through the French Quarter!!!
My sister and I were walking by the day after mardi gras celebrations ended and decided to check it out because there was live music. It was busy and the server in our area took a while to take our order. The drink I had was good. We ordered a bbq pulled pork sandwich and tater tots and a side of seafood rice. The only warm part of the food was the middle of the sandwich. Since the server seemed overwhelmed and we were hungry we ate the cold tots and semi warm sandwich but sent back the rice. Before my sister could finish her request the server said she would take the rice and have it warmed up. That led us to believe people send back cold food often. The manager was walking around and my sister asked for a dessert menu. She told her what the 2 options were and we picked one. It never came. On our way out we walked in to the gift shop area. They had expired dry rub on the shelves. I wanted bbq sauce but they didn't have any. We asked and the same manager who took our dessert order and she said she had to go somewhere else to get it. It took her about 15 minutes to come back and about 10 minutes to ring us up. This was my first and probably only time in New Orleans so I decided to suck bbn up the wait. The only reason I give 3 stars is only for the music. We saw two bands and they were amazing.
