Cornet

We came across this place while walking Bourbon street when the host saw us an asked if we would like to get a bite to eat and sit on the balcony with a view of Bourbon Street! We was so glad we chose to come here. The views from the balcony were amazing and the food was delicious! They had so many drink options and each one we tried was delicious and unique! It was a super fun environment and every worker was friendly and upbeat. I highly recommend here! Make sure to sit on the balcony for the best experience!

We stopped here after the jambalaya was recommended to us. It was later in the evening, probably 9. We had a nice time here. It was fun to have balcony seating with dinner. My jambalaya was seasoned and tasted like it would have been great when fresh, unfortunately, it wasn't.The waitress said it had been made earlier in the day. My friend said her dinner was fantastic and fresh. She had crayfish mac n cheese. Waitress was kind & prompt.

We came here twice on our visit because we loved it so much. The food is delicious & definitely one of the best menus & prices on Bourbon Street. I didn't bet pictures of everything we ate because I was so hungry I devoured everything but the Buffalo sandwich is also definitely recommended. I had a blueberry infused drink which was also delicious. The staff here was absolutely lovely & very kind. Both bartenders we dined with were sweethearts & very kind along with our servers. Wayne was outside handing out menus & seated us & checked in on us as we ate. He's one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! He talked with us for awhile and and gave great recommendations. The atmosphere overall was nice and warm & a nice break away from the craziness of Bourbon Street while still allowing you to see all that's happening outside. Their bathroom was also the cleanest I used in the quarter. Will definitely be returning on our next trip!

We settle on the cornet after wondering the French quarter for a while. This restaurant had been recommended via a blog and I’m not quite sure if I would agree with their sentiments. The food is OK but I was looking for a good étouffée and it really didn’t live up to what I wanted. It was quite soupy and not as thick as you would think that something would be with a good roux. Well here we were sat on the balcony around 1 PM and there weren’t that many people there and that should’ve been our first hint that maybe the food wasn’t that amazing compared to other places. It’s OK and it’s reasonably priced but for two people at $72 we wish it would’ve been higher quality overall. The meal was generally quite small. We did have the étouffée, gumbo, end fried alligator which was just okay. Overall everything was a little bit too salty for liking and again didn’t really live up to that like southern cooking you were expecting. The service was not bad but a bit sparse for how slow it was. If you want to be able to sit on a balcony on Bourbon Street to watch people this is great but if you’re really not interested I would skip it.

Great location. Outside seating on the balcony. Great spot to watch all the action on the streets. Our waiter was very fun and upbeat. Delivered our food and drinks in a timely fashion. I'm going to be blatantly honest though. This was my first food stop in New Orleans. I got the jambalaya because I've been jonsin for some creole. This jambalaya was sad. Colorless. Warm, almost cold and barely any chicken and sausage. I normally only give 5 stars out to places but the food I got here was not impressive.

Great place to watch the hustle. Right in the middle of the Bourbon Street chaos, the balcony of the Cornet let's you observe the snake people literally! and everybody else from above and enjoy a good Cajun meal at the same time. Excellent friendly staff, great cocktails, food Cajun yet much less fatty than what we found elsewhere.

If you want to sit on a balcony and watch the people pass by on Bourbon St, this is the spot. If you want good food, I suggest going elsewhere. Everything was flavorless and just not worth it when there are so many other good options in the Quarter. We got the fried alligator which was tiny nuggets with no seasoning or interest. The gumbo was also flavorless, even after adding a bunch of Crystal’s hot sauce, which fixes most things. Overall do not recommend for a meal.

LOVED IT!! Even my picky kids were able to find things they loved. The alligator is a definite. Tastes like chicken but the breading is great and just fun to order. We got samplers of different things, it was all great!

We were introduced to Cornet's via Tish from Taste bud Tours. We sampled the jambalaya and it is authentic and delicious!!! It has all the right flavors of true jambalaya. We also tried their blueberry hill drink and it is definitely worth trying!! The food was so good that we returned for lunch. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and my husband had the catfish po boy. Both were absolutely delicious!! The buffalo sauce was light and full of flavor and not overpowering as some are. The catfish was out of this world!! I typically hate fish but enjoyed the po boy immensely! The breading is very light, the fish super tender, and the flavors really come through. The catfish did not have a fishy flavor either. We were both very pleased with the meal and would return again! Try dining upstairs and you get a good view too!!

This place was amazing. We at on the balcony overlooking Bourbon Street. The food was top notch. Burger was made fresh and cooked to perfection. I was able to add bacon even tho it wasn't on the menu. The sampler app was also perfect. Gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice all VERY flavorful and in the right ratio. We didn't realize it at the time but this was the best place we ate in New Orleans. Ever other place we ate did not live up to this and we kept comparing others to here. Definitely worth a stop next time you are on Bourbon Street.
