Great Food and Cocktails

by jvig at Citysearch

Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with eggs and home fries. The steak is off the chart , this dish could stand up to most chiefs and establishments. Great tunes on the jukebox of famous BE artists.

This is an authentic BE place in the big city !

• Pros: Food Atmosphere $$
• Cons: none

Did I ask for my food to go?

by foodtruth at Citysearch

I wasn't looking for linen tablecloths, fine china and crystal but I think if you order a po boy it should come dressed and not served on top of a wet tomato so the sandwich is soggy with two sealed plastic containers of sauces(takeout style.) The sweet potato fries were not fries but roasted wedges of sweet potato. The oysters and shrimp were cooked well but everything else was wrong.

Disappointed

• Pros: friendly service
• Cons: takeout delivered to your table

Best weekend brunch

by archerfire at Citysearch

I always go here, but only for their weekend brunches. It's $10.95 and you get a whole lotta food.

I know it' s not authentic southern, cajun. Thier po boys are too small and not messy enough to be the real deal. But it's good food anyways. Their fried catfish and eggs rancheros are the best.

• Pros: Food, relaxed atmosphere
• Cons: For authentic cajun food, you might want to go somewhere else

Worst Delivery Ever...

by onimusha at Citysearch

Called them at 5:20 for a delivery. At 6:30 called again and was told it was "on the way". 7:30 now and the food still hasn't arrived. Unacceptable for Manhattan.

this place it terrible, avoid it!

by trusttreview at Citysearch

i just had dinner here tonight. The food was terrible. the service terrible. The meatloaf was served cold. Dennys is better than this place. By far. So, i went to take a look at the past 15 reviews giving this place 5 stars, and sure enough... i checked the number of reviews that these people had on here. Only one. One review. That looks suspicious to me. Looks like the owner is desperate. The food and service were terrible, and honestly, i feel sick from eating the food.

• Pros: location, food type
• Cons: every single thing else

Just like mother used to make

by eddiemelo at Citysearch

As a southerner, it's always hard for me to find good comfort food in the city. Acme hits the nail on the head. Start off with some jambalaya before moving on to mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatos. The po' boys are authentic and delicious as well. Sip it all down with Abita.

• Pros: Mac and Cheese, Po' Boys
• Cons: None

Going back for those sweet tater fries!

by aurora01 at Citysearch

Overall I thought the food we ordered (po' boys, jamalaya, etc) was great, but those sweet potato fries--lightly dusted with cinammon--are going to be my downfall!

• Pros: Great service--very attentive staff

Great Cajun food

by callisto at Citysearch

The food was great. Authentic Cajun style. The sweet potato mash was delicious. The place is large so we didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night.

• Pros: Great Cajun food, Sweet Potato Mash is delicious
• Cons: None
