The French onion soup is awesome! Best I have had, ever. Also the sampler is a great choice if u want to try all the local faves. The jambalaya was the best!

I arrived as asked for a Grey Goose Bloody Mary and the waitress kindly insisted in bring it with the house's vodka infused so I could taste the difference. Confirmed: the best Boody Marys in town!

The building is old, close to three hundred years old. The waitstaff was awesome and the food pretty good. Ambience was noisy but outstanding none-the-less.

Pierre Maspero's is a MUST when you're in NOLA. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the shrimp & grits. Ask for our girl Taranesha :)

I lost my fried alligator virginity here. So yummy. The hurricanes are $12.50 but TRUST me it's well worth it. Did I mention the jambalaya was heaven sent? This place deserves an A+.

Awesome! Fried green tomatoes so good! And ask for Jeremy. If you have a special diet need like me, he works on making good suggestions for what to have. Me? Redfish!

Crab cakes are fantastic. Crispy on the outside, succulent and light on the inside, with just the right amount of spice.

Good place for Dinner. Had the Gator Bites, Fried Green Tomatoes, Rib Eye with Cajun Potatoes, and Bread Pudding.

The Stuffed Shrimp Pistolettes are the perfect yummy messy delicious treat - kinda of a seafood bisque sandwich!

Changed the menu two weeks ago. Old favorites like the onion soup and the bread pudding are gone! :(
Sue LeeMay 24, 2015
Get their andouille sausage and eggs with a side of cheese grits.
Drew ToddMarch 9, 2011
Crab and corn chowder is good, as are the crab cakes. Red beans and rice is earthy, funky, delicious!
Dave StudJune 9, 2013
Gator worth the try. Table consensus says generous portions of bland, non-seasoned meat.
Viren KaulOctober 18, 2019
Blackened redfish was solid
Alyssa LarsonJuly 30, 2016
No no no. Touristy place for sure. Had the jambalaya and some sort of bo boy. Was awful. And so was the service. Didn't taste fresh at all.
KristinNovember 2, 2012
This place had awesome food! Red beans and rice was a top fav!
Patrick Fitz-GeraldMarch 31, 2013
Awesome roast beef poboy! Needs a bit more gravy though
Dave PettitOctober 6, 2012
French.Onion.Soup. Crabcakes have a lot of potential, just wish it was more crab than filler
Chris Du4March 2, 2010
They have the BEST french onion soup I've ever had: crispy melted cheese on top and extremely hearty aroma of sakts& seasonings. Yum!
Tom HingleyFebruary 26, 2017
Bring ID. My 70 year-old dad was refused alcohol having not brought his ID along.
Amanda LincolnNovember 8, 2013
Had our first dinner in NO here. Not really worth it. Good history/story but the food was sub par. Lacked in seasoning all around, fries were from a bag. They don't allow side substitutions.
Brandy GaffneyAugust 31, 2013
The crab cakes are great! All crab...little cake :-)
