zesty creole - New Orleans (LA)

4 /5 Tracey Phan: The service was good, food was decent, aside from the biscuits - those were excellent. The food came out very fast which was appreciated. The jambalaya and gumbo tasted very similar to one another. Red beans and rice were okay overall. There was nothing wrong with the food and service was good. There are better places to eat in New Orleans.

4 /5 Tatiana Williams: A great breakfast/ brunch spot with chill vibes, delicious food and a very welcoming staff. Bloody Mary’s, Irish coffee, veggie omelettes, and eggs Benedict’s. A wide variety of food! Oh and let’s not forget the warm and fresh beignets with lots of powdered sugar! I’m still licking my fingers. The staff was gracious and kind to accommodate all the needs for my group! Healthy spot and family friendly.

5 /5 WallStBum: I was craving creole food and found this place within a couple blocks of my hotel so checked it out. Food was delicious but a bit too salty. The grilled shrimp, gator bites, and fries were excellent; the batter on the fried oyster was perfect but the oysters had a lot of beard to them. Service was excellent and very fast. I literally got my order within minutes! Would recommend.

4 /5 Ottotinne: Zesty Creole had different kinds of local dishes from Creole and Cajun cuisines. We tried the Fried Gator, Étouffée, and Shrimp Poboy. The service was nice and the food came out quick with nice portions. The only downside was that there are no allowed substitutions on the menu (e.g., removing pork if you are muslim), which can unfortunately alter the experience of those who want to enjoy these different cuisines. Still, a nice place you can stop by for dinner.

4 /5 Cybil Skar: We came here to get some traditional Creole food. There were some dishes that could have been better. The shrimp and grits: shrimp was really good, but the grits were just okay. The étouffée was tasty, but we had better at other shops. The po’ boy sandwich was the best thing that we ordered. The service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming and clean.
