We really enjoyed our first visit to this location! We ordered the crawfish po’boy, bacon BBQ burger, and chicken and waffles. The po’boy was generously sized and loaded with crawfish tails, the burger was flavorful, and the hot honey on the chicken was delicious. The food took a little longer than expected to arrive, especially considering they weren’t too busy, but our server was pleasant, attentive, and helpful throughout the visit. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

I love peacocks so I chose this place for a graduation/birthday gathering with a few friends. I could not have chosen a better place. It is beautiful & everyone was very happy & energetic. I will be returning & just know the shareable menu was just enough for us. The food was delicious & plated beautifully. I give this place a 10 out of 10. I will brag on my night for years to come.

As always the food is the best. Gumbo Ya Ya is my favorite in NOLA. Every dish was to perfection. Our server, Dominique, a true gem - ask for her.

My fiancé and I had so much fun! The drinks were outstanding. I got the perfect gin and tonic which really was perfect! He got the father figure and was impressed green chartreuse was available and used in this. The ambiance was great and the entertainment was amazing! We were laughing and having a great time.

    We were a party of seven celebrating a birthday and an engagement service was outstanding. Everyone loved their meals. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Great selection of sides that are shareable for the table. Great place for a celebration and we will definitely be back if in New Orleans.
