Review from Nickie G.

So we met a lovely lady on a night at Johnny White's sports bar and she said she works at the Old Coffee Pot. She told us to come in and ask for Wilhelmina (sorry about butchering the spelling on that one). We woke and were looking for a great place to eat and remembered she told us to come and ask for her. Sooooo we did and man, was I glad!
This place is cozy and quaint and looks like an old house with very closely placed tables. Not a good place for a breakup talk but a good place to get to know your neighbors sitting around you. We asked for our newly found friend and she came from behind the bar to wait on us. She did not disappoint with one of the best bloody marys ever: complete with plenty of spice and pickled green beans.
So the menu is almost too much to wrap your hungover brain around. We were there when you could order either breakfast OR lunch. OMG too many choices. Just read the menu carefully and then order up a feast for trying.
Crab balls: have you ever wanted a crab cake but not really the ENTIRE ENTREE? Well these are little balls of crab cake and they were perfect little crab cake snacks. Every restaurant should immediately start serving these because I LOVE THEM.
Callas cakes: apparently spices and rice formed into a ball and deep fried and dusted in powdered sugar. Then you dump as little or as much syrup on them. We got a side order of this just to try and I thought they were AWESOME. The ball is thicker in consistency which makes it more hearty than pancakes but still just as good a sweet treat. HIGHLY recommend trying these.
Eggs creole: eggs, onions, pimentos, and mushrooms covered in a creole sauce. This was good but I think I should have branched out a little more and gotten the egg dish with the chicken livers or even the one with the creamed spinach underneath. Next time, next time.
Service is going to be NOLA style - a little slow and a lot friendly so don't come here if you are in a hurry or in a grumpy mood and you should be fine. But DO come here otherwise because you will leave fat and happy and full of some damn good breakfast. -

I got the trio appetizer which had: creole, red beans and rice and crawfish etoufee (sp?). This was OK. Just OK.The red beans and rice was definitely the best dish out of the three. I was not a fan of the etoufee...however it was my first time eating it so I'm not sure if I don't just like that dish in general.
I ordered a mojito which was made perfectly.
They wouldn't let us split the bill into different credit cards and they also wouldn't let us do part cash and part credit card. That was kind of a thumbs down for me. -

I loved The Old Coffee Pot! I had breakfast 2 days in a row here. I usually don't do that, but the food was delicious! I believe that is family owned and you get that vibe, which is always nice to know. One of the servers gave a buddy of mine the nickname "butter" due to the fact that he had a lot of trouble opening the butter packet...the name fits well I suppose.
Anyway, I'm not sure about other meals but everything that we tried was super good during breakfast hours. So here are the highlights of the yumminess:
-Lost Bread : Big pieces of French Toast NOLA style, can be eaten by itself
-I can't remember what breakfast combo it was called, but there is one dish that had eggs, ham, grits, and a cala cake (I wasn't a huge fan of the cala cake, but I could see it being a delectable treat for someone else).
-Red Beans and Rice: Super gooooooood!! -

Avoid this tourist trap and clip joint at all costs. Very over-priced, surly and lazy service. This would be forgivable if the food were good--it's not. I swear my grits were instant grits. I am a Southerner and this is heresy. I think my biscuit was straight out of a tube
The food was "served" cold. I will concede the inside is charming, but the surly waitresses kill any fun in being there. It is obvious that this is a turn-the-tables place. There are so many great places to eat in New Orleans, why not eat elsewhere for a lot less? -

We had been told by someone from Austin that the breakfast was good here (although the locals didn't seem to know about it, so maybe that's saying something...?) The food was mediocre. We got eggs with artichoke and a rich creamy sauce over an english muffin.... and a dish with eggs and a tomatoey creole sauce. The breakfasts both seemed "simple". The artichokes on mine were hard and could have been cooked more. The restaurant is in the French Quarter and the building is cute. I might have given it four stars, but when the bill for two people came to $35, we decided that we wouldn't visit this place again. I may not be cut out for New Orleans... this simple and mediocre yet expensive meal left me craving the $2 breakfast tacos of Austin...
I will add that the service was just fine though. :) -

I wouldn't go back. The food was fine, but Elizabeth's and other brunch places are just way too good to waste time eating someplace like this that is just okay. Plus, there seems to be no system for serving people. People who were there ten minutes before us or after us were served 20 minutes before or after us. And after eating the Lost Bread, which was delicious, I was frankly still hungry.

Had breakfast there this past Sunday, so I don't know about lunch...but I will go back to New Orleans just for that Lost Bread!! My husband had the creole eggs and he loved them; he's not a breakfast guy, so that says something. Plus, this is the first time I haven't had to drown my grits in butter....the texture and taste were perfect. The servers were all about the Saints that Sunday morning and "who dat?" was sung out every time the door opened. Nice piece of New Orleans; just get there early as the place filled up quick.

I want to love this place. It's quaint, family owned and the waitresses are personable and memorable. Shirley is nothing short of amazing, and she even sang a spiritual for us while we ate our brunch. Everything was served "with love." I just wish that the food had been exceptional when compared to other nearby options. The menu had some creative and fresh omelette and scramble options not available elsewhere, and all of the breakfast items were above average. There was just nothing that stood out or that was so good that I feel that I would have to return. I observed the creole and cajun entrees others ordered, and it looked just fine -- but just not so enticing that I would think of returning to experience it. The grits were exceptional, as others have noted. I recommend that the owners revisit the menu but continue to provide the fun and special experience.

I got up early for a walk down bourbon street (I'm too old for a night pass - and had no beads).
I noticed a couple locals heading back into their businesses with delicious smelling bags, and snagged the third guy with the foam container - he told me about The Old Coffee Pot.
Entered, and were greeted by a trio of middle aged ladies, clearly locals and longtime friends.
Nothing fancy here, just good food and friendly faces; it was early, so it was mostly empty. Christine was nursing a hangover from the nights before, so i tried to grab a respectable cross-section from the menu; Grillades and grits,
Eggs Jonathan, Eggs Sardu - a couple local variations on the Benedict.
back at the hotel room, all were confirmed as damn good home cooked plates. If you're in the neighborhood, and craving a good, cheap start to your day - have at ye. -

Service was excellent, ambiance is great (it is difficult for any restaurant in NOLA not to have a great ambiance) - but this place was special.
The food is also very, very good - not recommended for vegetarians as there are limited options available on the menu!
When we went, this place wasn't too crowded and service was quick and attentive. The patio area is beautiful and the building itself is quite lovely! -

Went here on the recommendation of my sister, who is a bartender on Bourbon Street - so she knows her stuff. I was not disappointed at all!
At first, the gorgeous decor (the metal rose chandeliers were amazing!) made me think we were about to plunk down a nice chunk of change for lunch but the entrees were on par with comparable local restaurants.
I ordered the fried shrimp plate - came with cole slaw and fries. I am a huge fan of Gulf shrimp, these were HUGE and they didn't skimp so I left with a very happy belly. Wanted to try dessert but I had no room. Would definitely recommend. -

My comrades and I stopped in here on recommendation from a cute bartender over at Pat O'Briens (we weren't drinking there! My BFF just wanted a Hurricane) after I'd mentioned that I was left disappointed by the bland Gumbo Ya-Ya I'd had the night before at another spot.
In the early evening, the crowd was light and we got a table in the outside patio/walkway. Subtle, beautiful, and cozy. I loved everything about this joint. Really friendly, quick service and EXCELLENT food. My Gumbo was exactly what I'd expected coming into New Orleans. Well spiced, rich roux, fresh meat. What else could I ask for?
My cohorts had more of the classics: Shrimp Remoulade, Red Beans & Rice with Andouille Sausage, and Fried Gator (respectively) and EVERYTHING was delicious, fresh and well seasoned. I ended up having better fried gator elsewhere but the other being amazing does not take away from The Old Coffee Pot's goodness.
I am dying to try breakfast here the next time I'm in town. Which is soon, I hope because now I'm hungry. -

sooo this place was not as good as I thought it was going to be - especially about a lot of rave reviews right here on Yelp as well as the spot on Diners Drive Ins and Dives....
I got the triple D special (Jambalaya, Green Bean Casserole, and the Chicken fleur de lis). The green bean casserole was just over cooked steamed green beans and the jambalaya was dry. it also seemed like these components were just microwaved! the Chicken was yummy though - microwaved or not! The sauce with the crab cake and the chicken just melded perfectly.
also tried the red velvet here - just tasted like white buttercream cake and VAnilla frosting? thought the south was supposed to do it right -- with cream cheese frosting. it was moist though and tasted decent, but by all means i wouldn't classify it as a "red velvet cake" even though the batter was made with red dye.
skip this place, don't waste your time.
i will say though, the servers and employees were nice and competent. -

Nothing spectacular. It was recent featured on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" so that caught my interest. Decent food and a lot of it.
My boyfriend and I had lunch here. I had the oyster po boy, which was good. The oysters were crispy and tender. My boyfriend had the New Orleans Sampler with jambalaya, red beans and rice and a side of crawfish etouffee. The jambalaya was very good and spicy. I wasn't a fan of the etouffee.
There are certainly places I would recommend first, it was just okay. -

Had breakfast here one morning simply because I wanted an omelet and after seeing pictures on Yelp of the food, was sold. Once I arrived, I didn't order the omelet I craved, but the Plantation breakfast. The Calla cakes were delicious. I tried to describe them as sweet hush puppies because the calla cakes have the same texture, but apparently that causes people to cringe. So, now I say that the calla cakes are like thicker donut holes. I personally don't think that does the calla cake justice, because they are much better than donut holes.
Anyway, I digress... back to the meal. My calla cakes came with an egg (prepared how I liked), creamy grits, and a ham steak. Very simple meal, but it hit the spot. The serving size was substantial but not excessive. It was enough food to hold me over to a late lunch. My husband ordered the Sis Soul meal and I didn't hear him speak for the rest of breakfast. Very relaxing indeed.
The servers were passive aggressive in their demeanor. Have you ever met anyone who can insult you while smiling, and make you feel good about yourself even though you're being insulted? I haven't, not until I came to this restaurant. But don't get me wrong - this isn't a con, but a pro of this restaurant. I found it entertaining. -

This was my first trip to New Orleans and I did not know what to expect. I did know that this trip would primarily revolve around food since we rarely can find Southern cuisine in our hometown. We visited The Old Coffee Pot Restaurant because we had seen it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
We went in for a late lunch and were surprised to see that it was fairly full. It is located fairly close to Bourbon Street so I'm sure tourists like us are in there all the time. The server seemed a bit overwhelmed. He was perfectly nice but always looked irritated or flustered when he wasn't actually speaking to anyone. He'd roll his eyes when people would ask about available tables as he was clearing another table. I guess I would be crabby too in that kind of heat and dealing with customers all day. He was pleasant otherwise.
We had four people so we ordered a bunch of dishes so we could all taste a bit of everything. We had one cup of the Chicken and Andouille Gumbo, the Fresh Catch with Jambalaya, Crab Balls, one Catfish Po-Boy and one Shrimp Po-Boy. Everything was good. I had Jambalaya once before in California and it was awful (surprise surprise) so I was a bit hesitant this time, but the Jambalaya was great. The gumbo too was extremely flavorful. We were all very impressed with our first taste of New Orleans. -

Of all the places I ate in New Orleans - this was probably one of the worst. We only went here on a recommendation. The only bad recommendation I got while I was there...too bad. This place was incredibly touristy.
I got the creole eggs. The sauce tasted like marinara sauce, the coffee tasted old and the biscuits were hard and did not taste fresh. The only good thing was the grits. Service was marginal. Gregg's food was better than mine, but not by much.
I don't think I'll ever go back. -

I LOOOOOOOOOVE this place for breakfast!!! The service is so delightful. The team of waitresses are wonderful, warm, soulful, New Orleans ladies, and sometimes Shirley will break out into a rousing spiritual like "Amazing Grace" in between delivering orders. Count yourself lucky if that happens. This is a slice of New Orleans, plain and simple. The Sis' Soul Food Omelette is my favorite. The only reason I'm not 5 starring this place is because once in awhile I go when a different chef is cooking, and I LOVE the usual chef, don't love the occasional fill-in, whoever they are. Most likely though you'll get the good one, and then, well, it's just a great time!!
P.S. It's especially LIVE during Essence Fest. I was there a couple years ago and they had the radio playing and the "Cupid Shuffle" came on. 2 of the waitresses and I danced for the whole song and after we were done the whole restaurant lit up with applause and woohooos. Totally cool. -

Talk about southern charm and hospitality... I've never been called baby, honey, and sugar by so many strangers in my life. This place is def an old southern style diner with deep south charm. The wait staff is incredible... composed of what seemed like all of my grandmothers plus some. They all took extremely good care of us from start to finish. We were there for breakfast which i think is why this place exists... the also serveother southern ahd cajun/creole fare for brunch and lunch. I had the Sis' Soul Omelette with hash grits and bicuits... Also could not resist a cup of the most wonderful red beans and rice on the side. If ur in NO check this place. The line may be long but its well worth the wait.

This place has quintessential New Orleans food, if you are looking to try some creole flavors, this is a good option. Speaking of options, on the menu there are TONS. On a busy weekend it is popular and packed, but If you have to wait for a table, don't worry, Pat O'Brians is just a few doors down!

I just returned from New Orleans, the whole trip being slightly disappointing for someone who had been waiting her whole life to visit NOLA. Though we had some great food...there was just something lacking.
And then we found the Old Coffeepot and I have to say it made my trip! The atmosphere was just what I had been missing, and our server was so much fun! And in the midst of it all another server broke out in song with an incredible and powerful voice. So unexpected and delightful. The breakfast was excellent to boot! I would love to go back to NOLA just to go there again. -

I went with my sisters and we decided to get the catfish poboy, crab balls and gumbo. I must say the poboy and the crab balls were great! The gumbo was ok but I tried it somewhere else and it blew me away. For dessert has the homemade pudding which was AMAZING! I has pecans, and a bourbon type cream sauce. MUST TRY! The staff were really friendly and I love the decour of the place. What must I say NOLA really won my heart with the people.

Good place to go and listened to good live music. The band had lots of funny jokes and kept the place going. I think I tipped the band more than the waitress, but the place was very busy, which must mean there were people who could appreciate the food.
The food was not memorable, but it was well cooked. The ambiance was good as well, but I guess I should have had the coffee. -

Wow! This place definitely has that old New Orleans charm, right down to the nice old skool hilarious ladies who welcomed us in and gave us great service. My boyfriend might not agree because he got in trouble for taking silverware from another table and almost got a spanking, (lol), but the service and food was awesome!
I had the omelet with the grits, perfectly hit the spot. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, my friend orders the shrimp and grits, the best fried shrimp with buttery grits I have had! One of my favorite dishes to enjoy. You have to go, its a must do in the French Quarter! -

Brunch here was hands down one of my most memorable experiences during my first visit to New Orleans. I will never forget it!
The place is just perfect all around: comfort food and comfort PEOPLE! The ladies on the wait staff are a fantastic riot!
My first impression of New Orleans is that is somehow a magical place and that magic has a lot to do with the food, history, music and people. My impression of Coffee Pot is that it somehow encapsulates NOLA.
PS. The seafood gumbo was the best we had on our trip. -

Grits. That's all I needed after five hours of sleep after a drunken night. The service here? Down to earth and top notch. This was one of those instances where I almost wished I ate meat so I could indulge in all the awesomeness they have to offer (my dining companions couldn't stop raving over their breakfast plates). I mean how much can you say about grits, right? Other than they tasted like gritty (soupy? gritty sounds kind of unappetizing), buttery bliss and warmed my entire body (and possibly my soul?) as I consumed the entire bowl.
Sigh.
Who needs eggs? Who needs bacon?
Besides the point, I love that they point out that this place has survived not only Katrina, but the copycats (as they point out on their menu). I hate copycats. Old Coffee Pot is the real deal. I will recommend this quaint joint (they have both a charming interior and a shaded side courtyard area) to all my pals visiting this amazing city looking for authentic New Orleans cuisine, even if I can't indulge, due to its meatcentric nature.
And I will return for some delish grits and service as sweet as a box of pralines.Listed in: Courtyards in New Orleans

Review from Adrian E.
From a food perspective, this place is nothing too out of the ordinary when it comes to breakfast food. I had the Eggs Jonathan and I liked them, but overall nothing that blew me away. My wife ordered the Lost Bread which is basically French toast made with a po-boy bun. Again, this was OK. I think it might have been a little overcooked. I did order 2 biscuits and enjoyed both of those. We also split a Calla Cake and I thought that was better than my wife's Lost Bread. It was different to see a rice dish prepared this way. I would recommend this out of everything I had.
It wasn't too crowded on a Monday morning, which makes me wonder why service was so slow. It really didn't seem that waiting on us was a top priority for our waitress. In addition, they should do a better job at removing trash from the table. When I went to get butter & jelly for my biscuits, I went through two packets of butter and one packet of jelly before I picked up one that wasn't already opened from a previous customer.
In addition to the Calla Cake, the other bright spot to our meal was that a waitress started singing "Amazing Grace" at the request of one of the other customers. Up until this point I was ready to write this place off, but the lady did a really good job and helped us to ignore the things that were just average. -

We must have hit a bad night, I can't believe the Reviews.
My wife waited over an hour for spinach salad and was told the manager had gone out to get some. She never did get dinner. At 7:30PM out of red beans, out of most appetizers, fish, decent inexperienced, embarrassed waitress lousy arrogant "manager" discourteous and snitty. No attempt made to mitigate the 40 minute wait till the appetizers were served and the entree's were subpar. Not even an apology, just sass when I went to pay the bill.
Our daughter had eaten here two years ago and raved about the place. All six of us, were severely disappointed and made angry, insulted and disrespected by both Sean(?) and the fat kid at the register. We visited on Friday, October 29, 2010. The joint was not busy. -

Absolute biggest waste of money in our food tour of New Orleans, Memphis, and Chicago. It was such a disappointment after all the praise from yelp and Food Network. Maybe it was because we went about 45 minutes before the place closed, but the service was horrible...it took us 5 minutes of starring at the waiter for them to acknowledge where we could sit down, then 15 more minutes for anyone to get a drink order. The crab/crawfish balls were burnt, not cooked all the way through, and sitting on unimpressive wilted romaine (worst presentation ever). They ran out of the roast beef po'boy (after we waited an additional 20 minutes) and then substituted it with a cheeseburger with cold cheese. Only decent food was the green bean casserole, and even that had several unedible stalks that tasted like bad asparagus that we had to pick out. The linoleum floor folds and bubbles like walking on a pool cover and the wall tiles had stripped paint and was just sloppy.
I will say that we did NOT have breakfast, but given the quality of food we had, I couldn't imagine it would be impressive. Don't bother with dinner if you only develop your breakfast menu.

My friends and I went here one morning because we heard it was featured on the food channel. Sorry but this was AWFUL. The waitress we had was very rude - if we didn't order what we wanted with the options on the menu she was annoyed and told that person just to read it and get back to her. For example if you forgot to give her your choice of toast she would look at you and say "and....?" and just wait for you to read the menu again...so unhelpful!
Maybe I would have felt the attitude could have been acceptable if the food was outstanding - sorry, it was NOT good and any breakfast at a fast food chain would have been better, and the coffee would have been too!
Go anyplace else...even if the food is just OK it has to be better than this and maybe your server will actually be kind. -

Service? To say it was lacking is an understatement. The food was okay, nothing great. I had to ask for more coffee twice. It wasn't even that busy. $14 for their spin of Eggs Benedict with a biscuit and frozen pre-packaged unseasoned mushy potatoes- I was unimpressed. Everything I ate had a chalky feel to it. Wait staff was mainly standing around and ignorant as to their surrounding and customers. 18% mandatory gratuity, which explains the lack of service. The seemed to only care about the large tables with tourist ordering bloody mary's, nearly ignoring the rest. Won't go back. Can't recommend.
