• The food is terrific and the staff entertaining. The atmosphere is great for large parties down to an intimate dinner for two. This is definately one of our families favorite spots in the "Queen" City!

• Service was great, food was good and I enjoyed the jazz band. The only complaint I have is about the valet parking. The guy that took our car was not very friendly.

• Crawfish Etouffee was delicious, as was the Blackened Catfish.. The Red Beans and Rice was a little bland for my taste, and the beans were hard and undercooked.. Will return to try the Gumbo..

• This is a MUST HAVE when you are in Charlotte. If you are vegan/vegetarian, please ask for the sautéed veggies over mash or rice because it's not on the menu.

• The crawfish etouffee is to die for! The Voodoo beer is also wonderful when paired with the fried oysters with remoulade sauce.

  by Wendy K

  
  

• Second place is not that bad. There is no replacement for New Orleans food while in New Orleans but everything is absolutely wonderful. Hard to pass up live jazz. It can be loud but well worth it.

• Great drinks but quality of the food was poor. I don't mind paying a little more for better quality but the prices here were outrageous for a giant plate of rice with bland sauce and frozen meat.

• Crawfish scampi is awesome. They give you so much sauce perfect for the dipping the bread.

  by Ayesha E.

  
  

• The best cajun sauce I've ever had is in the BBQ Shrimp dish. It doesn't taste like BBQ at all but it's so amazingly good!

  by Nikki P.

  
  

• Just be warned beforehand: if you plan on sharing an entree, there is a $5 "split fee" (I feel that's ridiculous) BBQ shrimp app was so-so, creole and key lime pie were delicious

• Sit outside on top balcony! Otherwise the food was nothing to brag about.

  by Emylie C.

  
  

• It's obvious their food is cooked over a wood fire. Tasty. Every time I come here the mahi mahi never let's me down. The drinks are strong and the food is delicious. If you want music too go upstairs.

  by AUDIOMIND

  
  

• The New Orleans BBQ Shrimp is to die for! Be sure to get extra bread to sop up all that goodness in the bowl. Live Dixie Land Jazz 7 nights a week too.
