French Quarter Brasserie And Oyster

We have rarely eaten such terrible food. we have not finished our meal, even though we had starved. my cup gumbosuppe was a mud of shrunk hen and such hot paprika I could taste nothing else. the garnel and geese had a soak that tasted like ketchup with extra sugar and was almost as hot as the rubber bear. but the restaurant was almost empty on midday, our waitress was very pleasant, and the beer was cold and good. looks like a place where undergrads could have a good time drinking on Saturday night, but open table is full of places much, much better than eating a place.

Food was excellent and there for the comedy and loved Jackie Gold!

The food was good. Gluten free options are limited so I could not eat many items. What I had was good, but as a Gluten free eater, I will not go back. People are very nice and service was good.

We visited French Quarter Brasserie for lunch on a Saturday. We have lived in New Orleans for several years and are very familiar with Cajun cooking. Hence we were looking forward to our visit. But this place was a complete disappointment as it is un-authentic Cajun food. If the restaurants in the French Quarter in New Orleans started selling this kind of food, the French Quarter would be desolate. We started with appetizers. Had the Slap Yo’ Mama shrimp which was pretty tasty. But the Crawfish Mac cheese balls were mostly fried Mac cheese with hardly any crawfish in it. The scallop gumbo was white in color and tasted and looked more like clam chowder instead of gumbo. For the main entrees, we ordered jambalaya which tasted more like tomato rice instead of jambalaya. The cajun chicken pasta had no cajun taste to it. The chicken was pretty much like boiled chicken with no flavor and the spaghetti noodles was a disaster. We ate a couple of bites of the pasta and had to bail on it. The crawfish étouffée did not meet the mark either. For dessert the classic beignets were a disaster as well. Overall the menu is very overpriced for the quality. We will not be visiting this place again.

We were told that there were no tables available in the dining room-even though we had reservations. So much for getting my 100 points! We sat in the bar area where it took quite a long time to get menus. After 15 minutes we were told that they didn’t have the appetizer that we ordered. My husband ordered a second beer-which we reminded the server 3x-and it never was served. When we got the food it was cold-not even room temperature. Terrible experience. Stay far away!!!
