Biscuits are big, made in house and phenomenal. You can split your Benedict to get each biscuit half with a different topping. I highly recommend friend chicken and Cochon. Good cocktails too

Go for the trifecta of fried chicken, cochon and shrimp Benedicts. Add a Bloody Mary and a mimosa and you have a superb brunch! Very busy, but if you pitch up at 2pm you should find no queue!

Chicken St. Charles was bomb! Perfect amount of food. Trick to avoid the wait is to come alone. I walked up and got seated immediately at the bar.

This is a must-visit breakfast spot in New Orleans. Try their Egg Couchon, it's fantastic! Br aware though, it might seem small but it's very filling.

You know you picked the right place when they have a 45 min wait in a Monday morning. Multiple Benny's on the menu with good coffee. I had the Costa Rican breakfast. Not a fan of sweet salsa though.

Authentic NOLA brunch! Try the shrimp and grits or the pancakes with honey hot chicken! Mimosas are on point as well! Make sure to add yourself to the waitlist online to avoid the queue!

The “Peacemaker” (combo of two eggs Benedict is a must try. Loved the cochon and fried chicken. Also don’t miss the fried green tomatoes and the mimosas!

For sure come for breakfast. They are known for their Egg Cochon and their Chicken St. Charles. Get it you would definitely not be disappointed. Get also their famous mimosa. ❤️️

Umm it’s all about the Benedicts- get the peacemaker to try two different ones! Blackstone was my fav (i love a classic) but the chicken benny was also bomb. Great Bloody Mary. Exceptional service 💯

Must go brunch place. Do not think- order the eggs Blackstone or egga Cochon. Just about anything with those delicious eggs in it. Try the brandy milk punch if you'd like something sweet.

Cozy place with nice siting. Cinnamon swirl pancake was good but there is no test of cinnamon on it. It like having a plain pancake. Service is good especially the guy in the bar.

One of the most unique brunch menus!Food is really good! Would recommend the peace maker, cuz you get to choose a mix of 2 orders! Had to wait for about 1h 40 mins to get seated, “they will text you“

We LOVED it! The French Toast bites were a tasty app. The cream cheese drizzle & crunchy goodness of the bread was perfect. The Peacemaker was a great way to try 2 different eggs benedict. Outstanding

Ridiculous, huge, buttery, delicious. I still can’t believe I ate Southern fried chicken for breakfast, but I completely loved it. This is how guilty pleasures start.

The cochon and fried chicken benedict were great! Would also recommend trying their seasonal mimosas. Did not disappoint! It's worth the wait.

Best brunch after a night out on the French Quarter. Get the Louisianan omelet (served with cheese grits) with a side of banana chocolate peanut butter pancakes!

A favorite breakfast & brunch spot for locals, this beloved diner offers generous portions and bottomless coffee. Order one of the omelettes, Eggs Benedict, or grab the biggest biscuits in town.

The staff went out of the way and let us sit outside, even when there were not any waitresses for that area. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed their brunch!

Nice place to have brunch I got the shrimp boogaloo benefit which is pretty good. Have to be there early otherwise have to wait at least 30 minutes on weekdays and weekend more than 1hour

Smoked salmon eggs and biscuits was heavenly. Try a short stack of pancakes with fruit compote. Excellent coffee and no frills space. Long lines so call ahead for a reservation

Friend had the avocado on toast and I had the blueberry pancakes, both were delicious but I couldn’t eat all of the pancakes as it was huge so come hungry!

Eggs Cochon. Pretty good. The biscuit was a little hard. Maybe a little over done. The fresh toast was excellent. Chocolate milk and hot chocolate is basically the same drink!

Eggs Cochon ... Amazing. Always an extremely long line and wait on Sunday's though. I recommend putting your name down and taking a stroll for 30 minutes.

Got the banana pecan pancakes. They're huge, and come with bacon. The syrup that is left out is a maple blend, so if you want 100%, you have to ask for it and pay extra. Worth it.

The eggs cochon are essentially eggs Benedict but with a HUGE portion of pulled pork subbed in for Canadian bacon, and a biscuit instead of English muffin. Excellent stuff

It’s easy to complement bacon, but Lordy that bacon was good. The pancake flight is the way to go for those with a sweet tooth

Do yourself a favour and get one of the Eggs Benedict. If you can't choose, opt for a peacemaker and choose half and half.

Hungover from a long night out? Kindly ask your server for a side of fries for the table. Then tip them generously for allowing you to order them before 11am. Love this spot.
