Got seated quickly on a Sunday afternoon. Live music was a nice touch. Dog friendly patio. Mimosa was stiff. French toast wad drenched in their special syrup. Jambalaya could have had a bit more flavor. Faitdodo with hash browns offered a nice texture. Corn bread and biscuit were also good.

If you haven’t been here, stop in and try it out! Such a fun atmosphere, food is great, and the drinks are on point! I usually get the shrimp creole. It’s great and just the right amount of spicy!

We enjoyed a homey brunch at Bon Temps. All good was prepared to order and done well. The omelette was fluffy and the creole sauce was earthy and balanced its spices. The grits with fried green tomatoes were beautiful. All fried foods (i.e., tomatoes, eggs and potatoes) were prepared without loads of grease and done to a lovely golden crisp. The pancakes are PERFECT but only offered weekdays. Indoor and outdoor dining were not busy, so the environment was lovely to dine in.

Great outdoor seating option, had live music when we had dropped by for brunch, food is a tad bit bland for cajun cuisine, great service, easy to find parking nearby and very very dog friendly.

Pleasantly surprised. Older rustic looking building with older looking outdoor patio. The rustic look spans the entire restaurant inside and out. Menu has a great selection of creole dishes. The food was fantastic. The plates were put together as if they were pieces of art. Everything was hot and fresh. The sweet cornbread was excellent. The service was excellent. Our server, I’m sorry I’ve forgotten her name, was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I would recommend everyone giving this place a try as you will find yourself repeating your visit over and over.

I’ve only eaten here once, but I’m already hooked. The catfish po boy was delicious, can’t wait to try the shrimp Po boy. They have Abita on tap. Atmosphere was fun and cozy, and the service was excellent!
