The buttermilk fried chicken is so tender you can cut it with fork. I will have dreams about the bourbon mashed sweet potatoes-- ridiculously good. SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. I didn't & regret it.

EXCELLENT experience. Great service. Try the Garlic Crusted Drum - amazing! Ooey Gooey Cake was spectacular and I don't even like sweets! The restaurant has 3 floors - much bigger than what it looks.

Garlic crusted drum is awesome , have it with your wine of choice i had with a sangria. Also inquire about the Gumbo of the day i was lucky the gumbo had roasted duck that day but it varies.

Delicious shrimp and grits as well as a great bourbon and strawberry drink. Drunken Monkey ice cream sundae or just Drunken Monkey ice cream with Nocello is absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to return!
Stacy WheelerJuly 5, 2018
Desserts stole the show. White chocolate bread pudding, turtle pie, and drunken monkey cake were all outstanding! On another note, kudos to the bar tender. All cocktails were very well crafted.

The Grilled Niman Ranch Pork Chop is from heaven! Perfectly cooked and the brown sugar sweet potatoes are sublime! Don't miss it!

The pork crackling nachos are bizarre and moorish - definitely give them a try. The bao are classically delicious and the cocktails, divine.

We ordered the Beet Salad, Shrimp and Grits, and Garlic Crusted Drum, along with CRÈME BRÛLÉE TRIO. All were fantastic and would definitely dine and order again. maître d' who was kind of rude.

Love the jalapeno cornbread! Every dish I have tried has been good and the prices are surprisingly reasonable considering it is one of Emeril's restaurants. Awesome servers - ask for Travis.

Foodgasmic! Sinfully satisfying from the time we walked in the door until we stepped back onto the streets of NO. The five course meal gave us everything and more....service was fantastic. Absolutely.
Rick LattaNovember 15, 2013
We ate at the bar for brunch and it was a hopping place. Great food and service very good. Great fried chicken. Nice lunch size and the desserts are to die for.
Julie HorvathJune 25, 2013
Amazing food. Make sure you stop by while you're in town. The fried chicken breast is totally delicious. The crab cakes are too! & order the drunken monkey ice cream for dessert!

The happy hour $5 gumbo at Emeril’s NOLA restaurant is absolutely delicious and an unbelievable value!! Bam!!
Eric TigreFebruary 9, 2012
If visiting New Orleans make this your first stop in the French Quarter. Drop in for an early evening Sazerac and stay for dinner with house favorites like shrimp & grits and buttermilk fried chicken. Read more

Had the Drum fish--loved it. The pumpkin cheesecake was outstanding. The wait staff: friendly and professional. Don't be afraid to jump on the waiter's recommendations.
Amy SAugust 14, 2014
I'll go with the consensus: the shrimp & grits and ooey gooey cake are winners. And, of course, the BBQ shrimp are a must at any Emeril's restaurant. Enjoy!
Richard RevillaOctober 30, 2014
My first time here was 1996 and it's always a treat each time in the Crescent City. Always new and creative dishes from Emril. Bam!
Sandra CifoMay 9, 2017
Garlic shrimp side as an appetizer, and the pork chops with caramelized yams and pecans. DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN... so good!
Mirella BroylesAugust 5, 2015

The best crawfish etouffee and gumbo at new orleans!!!! The perfect place to try the new orleans tradicional food!!!

You must have Ms. Haye's Stuffed Chicken Wings. The chef is from Vietnam and these are made with love. Ladies...you will suck on the bones. Just go for it!
LisaMarch 13, 2013
Oh yes shrimp n' grits! I ate it as slow as I could to savor it longer. Friendly wait staff and impressive kitchen. Is definitely on my "must return to" list!
Maryann WatsonNovember 2, 2013
Sit upstairs for better ambiance. And get the stuffed chicken wings! Bloody Mary is also fantastic.
Linda DunlapApril 2, 2016
Stuffed chicken wings, beet salad, and shrimp and grits. If you like Pimm's Cups they make good ones.
Astro PupJuly 22, 2012
The shrimp and grits is good, but you really can't go wrong with any of the menu choices here. The cremr brûlée trio is to die for!
Sam DJanuary 6, 2018
Stuffed chicken was the best small plate but do try many!

Managers in upscale restaurants don't usually interact with older children, but this restaurant did. Great southern food experience!

Roasted duck was a great blend of flavors
Mike WinstonApril 4, 2016
Bam! You know the man. Emeril is a New Orleans legend and this restaurant is still throwing fastballs. Everything is great, but you must order Miss Hay's Stuffed Wings. Read more on WinstonWanders.com

Get the BBQ shrimp appetizer! Amazing!! Also, indescribable duck entree there. It's unlike any duck you've ever had.

The stuffed chicken wing was awesome as was all the food. They also served a great version of the Pimm's Cup drink.
Neil HerschkowitzAugust 11, 2016
Service seems very rushed. I was pushed through my meal constantly. Don't sit at the table next to the waiters stand upstairs. This was not their typical service ...which was excellent.
Susan BOctober 6, 2015
An Emeril Lagasse's restaurant. Looks pricey, but I'm sure it's delish!
Mike ChauDecember 30, 2012
Try the Popcorn Sundae - Fudge brownie, popcorn ice cream, caramel sauce and caramel corn
Mike ChauDecember 30, 2012
Try the Warm Ooey Gooey Cake - Moist chocolate cake, marshmallows, toasted coconut, coffee ice cream
