We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

We had a round table for 8, which is ideal for connecting with each other. Service was excellent, very friendly and professional. The food was also great, “traditional” New Orleans style. The $55 prix fixe menu was a great value. Would highly recommend the shrimp and grits, gumbo, and drum. All perfectly prepared.

I’ve been going to Broussard’s since I was a little girl. My dad and I would come here when visiting family in New Orleans and it was our place. This was the first year I came here with my fiancé and got to tell him stories of my dad. The food has always been wonderful, the memories, delightful.
