Little New Orleans

Moe

I traveled to Houston on Wednesday 9/17 for business and was looking for a good place to eat. I was really exhausted and did not feel like leaving my hotel so I looked for a place that had Door Dash. I was looking for something different other than the usual chinese, burger, or sub-joint, when I happened to stumble upon Little New Orleans. Man Oh’Man, did I not make a mistake. I am from NJ but have been in NM for 18 years. I have also traveled the lower 48 states 3 times never been to AK or HI and really have no interest because of their overbearing expensiveness. Back to my review. So, I perused the menu at LNO and landed on there favorites which was the Bourbon St. Pasta, Crawfish Egg rolls, and for desert Beignets. All were absolutely delish. If anyone travels to Houston and you are with a significant other than try these three items. They shall not disappoint. I was alone and could not finish. Unfortunately, the servings were too large for one person to eat all three items. This is not a complaint, it’s a compliment. Had I lived in Houston, I would have had lunch or dinner the next day for sure. Because there is no way I would have given it away. But I did, it did not go to waste. I was a head Chef at a seaside resort in NJ in the late 80’s thru early 90’s this place has a lot going for it. When I ‘m back in Houston I will be back! Keep it Up!

This lil spot is actually pretty decent. Marked down on atmosphere, because it's too crowded and has to much in it. In my 4 day visit I came here twice. It was around the corner from my hotel so it was close and convenient to Club Quarters hotel, JW Marriott and AC hotel amongst others. The Northline I think it's recline passes it. It is downtown so you won't be able to park nearby. Food is fattening so you need to walk anyways. So, first day I had the oxtail. Great flavor. But they were sliced thin not whole bones. Like thin as in the whole plate would make 1 big bone. I guess at 19.99 that make sense. But disappointing. Mac and cheese was really great and the greens appeared to be fresh from the garden. But not sure if they tasted fresh. They weren't bad, but still not amazing. Salt level was average. As always could tone down a bit. The second visit I had the shrimp and catfish plate. Again, they do things to accomplish their task, but may upset customers. They say 3 pieces, but the sizes are all different. Stop being deceptive. The shrimp were all a nice size. Everything was perfectly seasoned and not too salty. Coleslaw was hot and disgusting. Not sure why they put cold Coleslaw in a hot plate. Fries were nice. Of course out of a bag. Hush puppies were nice too. If you're not going to make it fresh don't sell it. Perhaps slim down your menu. That will allow you to focus on making great fresh food vs having to do things just because it's on the menu. The hypnotiq daiquiri was nice and strong. Not too sweet. The peach cobbler was stellar. Crust not cake. Just the right amount peaches to crust. They could have allowed it to brown a little bit. Stop carrying the chocolate cake. It doesn't taste like anything. Like someone added chocolate powder to a recipe without adding the coffee that brings out the rich flavor.

Angelia is awesome! I complained that the etoufee is gross. It tastes just like the type of gravy typically used for smothered pork chops. Angelia was super nice and made everything right! She let me exchange it for something else. The greens are really good. The fish is really good and the black bean burger and fries are also really good. If you stop by, you can definitely order one of these and its pretty good!

Visiting Houston from DFW and it just happened to be Mardi Gras. Stopped in for a Shrimp Po’Boy and was served some of the best Cajun I’ve had! Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Door dashed this order it was so good. This place is a must.. The Order was packed well. My husband swears it was the best burger he has ever consumed. The gumbo was full of meat and the taste was spot on.
