Best WLM Reviews
I often look at places like Atchafalaya and label them as “bougie”. I’m a homebody who loves to cook, so I see the nicely dressed staff and white tablecloths and feel like I don’t belong. Total opposite vibes here! This is an “everyone is welcome” type place and the food is amazing! Our server Stephanie says she has been with the company on and off for 15 years and provided excellent service!! I’m celebrating my one year anniversary and my partner ordered the Duck Hash and I ordered the Burger. I was not ready for the surprise that came with the flavors inside the burger. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying! Thank you very much for the wonderful dining experience!!
Such a special place. We came here for brunch on a Friday morning. The service was outstanding. The food was amazing. We had the deviled eggs to start. Then in order of favorite we had the Duck, Korean chicken sandwich, and the breakfast risotto. We will definitely be back.
What a great place to get brunch in New Orleans. Very clean and nice spot. They do reservations, but I was able to walk in on a Monday afternoon and waited about 15 minutes. I got the chicken and waffles and it came with a complementary cornbread and butter. The cornbread and butter was very good. The chicken and waffles was also delicious, the waffle it itself was Nothing out of the ordinary however, the chicken and the gravy was the star of the show. Very friendly service and I would come back.
Extremely great service by our waiter (funny and described food with great detail). Atchafalaya is one of the top spots I recommend visitors coming to NOLA who want to try elevated Creole/Cajun food. Pork Chops were perfect medium and collard greens is a nice pairing. Shrimp and Grits are rich and flavor full with bits of of sausage throughout. For dessert, try the Pistachio Dark Chocolate Cheesecake- the pistachio flavor pairs wells with the dark chocolate . The Bread Pudding is light - does not have a heavy rum flavor or has the rich sauce some traditional local bread puddings have in New Orleans. This place is a great spot for brunch or dinner
Did not enjoy this place as much as I expected to. Here’s the good— the atmosphere was very cute, and they had live jazz band which seemed the play at just the right volume. The bread pudding was the best thing we ate here, it was very good.
And now the not so good— the restaurant was very busy, luckily we made reservations for 1:45, but service was super slow. It felt like it took forever to get the check and I just wanted to get out of there. Our waiter was also very weird and off-putting. The menu is quite limited, and it’s all flashy and upscale renditions of mainly southern dishes. I had the crab cake benedict and my friend had the duck hash. Both were fine, just nothing to write home about. Cocktails were the same, just okay. Unfortunately it was my least favorite meal of our trip. Would not go back and would not recommend to anyone I know visiting the area, there are so many better options around.
Beautiful restaurant in the garden district! Everything we had was delicious and fresh. Pictured are fried green tomatoes with shrimp, Blue crab bisque, fried oyster salad, and shrimp and grits. Drinks were also amazing. Staff was very kind and attentive. 10/10!
Visited for brunch about 2 weeks ago and it’s now on my must visit list! It does sit a little away from the main touristy area but it’s definitely worth the little bit of travel depending where you’re staying.
The restaurant isn’t too big but can host some large parties upstairs. I would recommend making a reservation if possible especially if you’re bringing a large group.
The Monday special red beans and rice was my hands down favorite !! It’s the best compilation of savory beans and rice paired with crispy fried chicken! The boudin is also recommended along with some of their fresh squeezed orange juice!
The service was also excellent! Our server was prompt and checked in on us frequently to make sure we did not need anything !
Atchafalaya does not disappoint!!! I read the reviews and their rating is almost spot on…it should be 5/5!
We had the fried green tomatoes with butter poached shrimp as an appetizer. The presentation was great and the flavors were very thoughtfully combined with each element of the dish standing out on its own, but the flavor combination was phenomenal.
The quiche practically melted in our mouths and was delicious. It came with a gorgeous salad.
I had the special fried oyster BLT and again it was fabulous. The sandwich was rich and full of flavorful salty bacon mayo goodness. The richness was cut a little with the addition of fresh dill that gave the BLT an added layer of complexity and balance. (It was dill-icious! ????) The boat load of fries that came with it were perfectly cooked and tasty.
Last but not least, Tara was an excellent and attentive server!
Next time we visit New Orleans, we will absolutely be back!!!
