The French Quarter

been meaning to go back to this place since 2016. I regret waiting so long only because they moved to a new location. I loved their old location on spring st which was in the big victorian house. I heard they moved for various reasons, but I'm sure it was partly a financial decision. the new location is on w ridge rd in the old mcginnity place since they closed. the chef is the same so the food hasn't changed which is a major plus.
new location is dingy and not the greatest, but seems like they also took some decor with them as well as the plating and seating. they painted as well. I'm hoping its just the beginning for them and it might change, but who knows. people will keep coming for the food.
when we sat down we noticed 3 other parties as well were seated. during our time there I think about 5 parties came in for take out. seems like they are doing well. my boyfriend ended up getting the hot chicken which was great and I got the shrimp étouffée which was also great. not that appealing but tasted yummy. we also got the jambalaya appetizer and the banana pudding with beignets. all delicious, no problems. and the best part that continues is the prices. so affordable, we will back despite the atmosphere not feeling the same.

Dang! This food is delish and the staff is super friendly!
Had the drunken shrimp, friend shrimp po boy, crawfish etouffee, and beignets. Everything was delish! Keep this local place alive!

The food was not great and the place was Dirty! The service was average. However, I will not be returning

This was a great find! Incredible food, fantastic service, and a very casual atmosphere. The jazz paintings and music a were a nice addition. We could have been in NOLA!

This food was exceptional!! We had gumbo, crawfish budan balls , crawfish etoufee and the bayou plate.
We arrived with reservations and when we were leaving, the wait was 1 hour.
Definitely planning another stop here.
Server was spot on with recommendations and incredibly nice. thanks Neciah!

I made reservations on Valentine's Day and took my daughters there. We weren't greeted. We stood there for 5 mins and no one said a single word. They walked by us and didn't bother to acknowledge us, this is one of my biggest pet peeves! This was our first time going to the new location but I doubt we'll be returning.

Such a shame I spent money here. I found out about this place last year when I came back to visit family. I loved it, I had the chicken wings and some other stuff I forgot about and another family member had the Étouffée. Which I did try, but it was nasty. The chicken wings were the best I'd ever had so I was dying to get them again.

I came back this year and this restaurant has had a major down grade. When I tried to order the chicken wings they said they don't serve the chicken wings by themselves anymore. They only sell the chicken wings paired with Étouffée for $16 and you only get 5 wings . Everything I don't want to hear. So I didn't get what I really wanted, instead I settled for the regular chicken and potatoes with a small side of coleslaw. Although, the potatoes taste like they were fried in fish oil, ended up throwing them away. Unfortunately this will be my last time coming here, but I wish you luck if you go. Happy eating!

Very impressed! This was our first stop on our Rochester weekend. Beautiful historic building. Friendly staff. The food was out of this world. Would definitely recommend. Priced reasonably.

4th time is not a charm, the food is usually pretty good. We did a take out order and it was just ok. The catfish filet was very thin, it seems they split 1 catfish just to try to make 2, more breading than fish.

Went for dinner here with a party of four. We liked the atmosphere. Great food, nice decor, and music are one of the things I liked. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals! I recommend!
