Aron Hegyi: Had shrimp and grits at their airport location. Great quality grits, and good flavor from the chargrilled shrimp. I believe they source directly from their own farm.
Abby Buchmeyer: The Fried Bread Pudding is absolutely fantastic.
Eater: Chef Brad McGeehee, who doesn't just source locally, but in-house, creates daily specials showcasing produce (and eggs) from the restaurant's own farm. [Eater 38 Member]
Christopher Piazza: Very different from HOB Orlando but in a good way. There's a great atmosphere and the venue always has something going on!
Ellen DeGeneres: I heard my friend Barbara Menendez's band play here. They're called "The Help" and they are amazing.
VH1: One really cool thing about this location is that sections of the building’s structure dates back to 1890, where it was used as a trading post, warehouse, and shoe factory. – Team Live Nation

Cocktail Bar · French Quarter · 41 tips and reviews
Carrie Dumaine: Amazing. Best bar on Bourbon. Classic and craft cocktails, great staff, fresh juices, smoke free and great atmosphere. Connected to the intensely haunted beautiful Bourbon Orleans Hotel.
Billy Mitchell: Whatever you do, don't ask Terry about Decadence weekend!
Terry Cooney: Try the "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!"
Ashley Provencher: Always use their Worcestershire sauce, the best we've ever had
Ellen DeGeneres: Every time I'm here, I have the strangest feeling like I've been here before. Probably because it's where I got my start back when it was called "Clyde's Comedy Corner," but still, it's very strange.
Brandi Bruce: Amazing food, great service for the time... I love Deja Vu and fuck you.
Shaina (CreoleChick): Great fried chicken (best by some opinions, #2 in mine), good red beans, but definitely the best cornbread. Short hours, long lines...but worth at least a trip. Possible celebrity sightings... I did.
Travel Channel: Andrew Zimmern visited the Treme neighborhood where residents are still rebuilding after the damage left by hurricane Katrina. This special place is going strong, serving their famous fried chicken.
Eater: Amazing fried chicken, often called the best in town. The food and atmosphere are quintessential New Orleans, among the best you’ll find in town. [Eater 38 Member]
