    Our experience was fabulous from the time I called and spoke to a hostess to when we left the restaurant after our delicious meal. Our server, Terrell, was spectacular. He was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and attentive. The ambiance was just what we wanted for our Easter dinner - outdoor, water fountain, patio lights; cozy and elegant. The food was delicious. The charbroiled oysters were amazing. The fried pickles were as well. Hush puppies perfectly savory. My wife had the Catfish Decatur and it was delicious - generous portion and perfectly cooked, served over a tasty jambalaya. Our party of nine also had the Gumbo Yaya - delicious, the roux was full and flavorful; a couple of the pasta dishes - also delicious; I had the steak and shrimp - perfectly cooked on the rare side. We will definitely be returning next time we are in town. The best place we ate during our stay, highly recommend!!

    We came to NOLA to experience the cuisine, and hit a home run here with our entrees. The Shrimp and Grits were outstanding, perfectly seasoned to my wife’s taste. I enjoyed the Red Beans and Sausage with was also perfectly seasoned and more than I could eat. Brandon answered all our menu questions thoroughly and was attentive to our needs. You cannot go wrong if you go to New Orleans Creole Cookery because the prices are reasonable, the wait staff is attentive, and you will not leave hungry!

    Great food and our waiter, Robert, was fantastic. My husband had the Taste of New Orleans, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the red beans and rice.
