Love the food, the atmosphere, and most of all the bloody mary’s! I went with my husband for my birthday. We had the steak with chimichurri sauce with grilled shrimp. Amazing!

The place was good and had fair prices, went with a large party and the sever had trouble splitting the checks. Was very rude and charged me for the wrong things multiple times. It’s all around a good place but the sever just couldn’t handle our party

We went here for dinner on a rainy Saturday evening. Ok so parking is 5 $ but you can get a discount with a bill over 20 $ I just don’t know how they give you the discount… So I paid 5 $. The calamari was good… But the marinara was ok not thick enough for me. I also had the salmon… I can’t remember the name but it came with rice and broccoli, the sauce on the salmon was good, the rice wasn’t cooked, and the broccoli was cold. My friend had the shrimp boil the potatoes were delicious! We topped it off with cheesecake which was good! I think that night was a bad night so I will be back!

After a long day of showing homes I wanted to dine somewhere different so we chose FPN. For me service is just as important as the food and here both was amazing. On nice days I suggest sitting outside, it’s beautiful.

Went here on new year’s day with a few friends. It wasn’t too busy. We were seated quickly. Once seated it took a little while for our waiter to come and when he did he apologized for the delay and informed us that he was also servicing a large party– to basically explain why he may be slow servicing us. Umm, okay– we appreciate the explanation and all but that’s not our problem. Are you basically telling us that the large party is more important and we should understand if we don’t receive quality service today? Lol. I started to give 3 stars just because of that but because my food was so good I went ahead and gave the 4 stars. I order the grilled mahi mahi sandwich. I don’t quite remember everyone’s exact order, but everyone enjoyed their food. I would definitely return again but hopefully I wouldn’t get the same server.

Great place to grab a drink. Very relaxed. Good service. So many menu choices. Everything tasted great. Mimosa bucket was great for Sunday Funday!

I will say, the reason I truly love this place is the Bloody Mary’s and the fried pickles. The atmosphere is very Cajun like with a homey type interior. I’ve never really had a bad experience here. The gumbo was okay. But not one of my fav dishes anywhere. But I gave it a shot. Our waitress «Jasmine» was a dear sweet soul and so attentive to our needs. If anything ask for her to be your waitress or sit in her area.

This is a cool place to soak up some New Orleans flavor in a sports bar. It’s divided into two sections with the first featuring an open courtyard complete with fountain. We visited on a cool November evening and they had a couple if fire places going that added a neat vibe. The other half is a large interior space with a bar in the middle and tv’s all over the place.
They have a fairly extensive beer list featuring the local Sweetwater brews as well as the New Orleans Dixie and Albita breweries. The menu has numerous Cajun/​Creole offerings including Ettoffe, Jambolya, Po’ Boys, Red Beans and Rice, and gumbo. They also offer salads, soups and burgers. The food is pretty decent, especially for a sports bar.
If I lived in the area I’d visit very often to get my Cajun fix in while drinking some good beer and watching football. This is a place I plan to visit when in Atlanta.

Got a few reviews to write. On ⁰⁷⁄₀₈ this is my first time dining at FPN. Some friends and I tried to dine at the Crescent location but the initially service was terrible so we left. So when a friend suggested the L5P location, I was hesitant. Service is important as the food. Great service can really jazz up a dish in a way seasoning can not.
Anyway, I ordered the Jambalaya for my entrée… a tad salty but I would give it another try. The bread pudding was AWESOME! My drink was very tasty and strong! The service was great, the portions were ample, and definitely worth the money I spent. Try FPN in L5P you will not be disappointed!!!

Great atmosphere, great food, great drinks.
The outdoor area is nice with the weather isn’t bad.

I’m from New Orleans, so this place is as close to New Orleans as it can get. There is a courtyard seating with a water fountain which reminds me of many of the restaurants back at home. The food there were similar to New Orleans such as different types of Po-​Boys, seafood plates, gumbo, and a good range of breakfast foods.
I ordered the gumbo as my appetizer and surprisingly I was impressed. Pretty similar to how it is back at home. The flavoring was good and the soup base wasn’t watery. I ordered the Fried Tomoatos egg benedict, we came here around brunch time so I was craving a breakfast item. You can’t mess up the eggs benedict, so I enjoyed the entrée.
Coming back to watch Saints games here and to order other New Orleans type dishes :)

Great food. Love the laid back atmosphere. Came for a much needed Sunday brunch after an amazing time at Music Midtown. Did not disappoint. The Bloody Mary bar was on point with the biggest selection of hot sauces and spices you could imagine. My group grabbed a spot outside on the patio and it was a perfect end to an awesome weekend.

I’d be lying if I said I’ve ever been dazzled by anything I’ve eaten at Front Page News but I do eat there pretty frequently.
The place has the feel of a college town bar/​restaurant with framed newspapers, concert posters and New Orleans memorabilia on the walls. There are a dozen TVs inside and outside and they’re usually tuned to something sports related.
Sometimes we come here to eat Louisiana dishes like Gumbo, Jambalaya and Étouffée while we watch Saints games. On game days the various TVs are tuned into different matchups and they’re mounted high on the walls so you can see them easily from your seat.
At other times we come for brunch on their patio – it’s reminiscent of a courtyard in New Orleans. For brunch they serve things like Crab Cakes Benedict, Crawfish Omelets and Pain Perdu. (By the way, this is a good place for a late brunch. It’s served until 4pm!)
My last visit was for dinner and I ordered the Gumbo Ya-​Ya (chicken and sausage gumbo) and the Chicken Penne Pasta. The gumbo was tasty but this time the proportion of rice to gumbo in my cup was off. I could hardly see the gumbo through all the rice. The pasta was delicious and I enjoyed the Abita Root Beer, especially since it can be hard to find in Atlanta.
The one annoying thing is the parking. Their attached garage is cramped and, depending on the time of day, the traffic on Moreland can make it difficult getting in and out. I usually just find a spot on McClendon and walk over.
Front Page News is one of my favorite places to find Creole/​Cajun in the city of Atlanta.

My server was awesome The food was okay ! Very spicy. I ordered the shrimp & grits. Also I had the fish and chips ! Very delicious meal. The chairs are not fat people friendly lol lol. They are old wooden chairs that are almost 1000 years old be aware. I would recommend this my seafood loving friends

Bread Pudding is gross! Never again! Everything else was good though. Our service got lost a few times.

Ya gotta love Little Five Points area. This restaurant is nested right in the heart of the area, and the food is good. Try the deviled eggs with andouille sausage. The salmon is amazing! And don’t forget the shrimp and grits. Valet parking is in a garage next door, and the overall service we received was good as well.

I really want to give them 5 stars because this place is so cute and the food is really good.
I arrived and was seated outside. I love sitting near the fountain it’s so relaxing. Makes me feel like I’m not even in Atlanta!
I ordered a drink that came highly recommended from the waitress who was seemingly friendly while I waited on my friend to arrive. I ordered the salmon dish as recommended by the waitress. Our food arrived about 15 – 20 minutes later. The salmon was delicious and so was the rice pilaf! I should have gotten a double side! Yummy! After dinner the waitress asked us did we want dessert. I’d been craving bread pudding so I asked if I could get it to go and she says yes. 30 minutes later I finally get my bread pudding after having to stop another server to ask about it. Our waitress never came over to explain or apologize. I suspected they went to New Orleans to get the dessert! When she finally came back she hurriedly said thanks and mumbled something else and ran off. Idk if she was afraid because of the wait but that wasn’t cool. I deserved an apology at least.
I know next time not to get dessert and unfortunately I don’t know where else to get bread pudding. Any ideas Unilocalers?

On one beautiful night in April I had the most delicious sandwich that man has ever created. I think about this sandwich, I talk about this sandwich constantly, and since then I’ve had it 4 times. The roasted turkey sandwich is wonderful here, if this place was otherwise a dump and someone kicked me in the teeth every time I entered I still would come to just taste the majesty of this sandwich.
Otherwise the atmosphere is great etc, etc, I’m sure everyone else has said that.
Eat this sandwich and your life will forever be changed.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes Benedict. The home fries that came with it were amazing! The fried green tomatoes were a bit small and not as flavorful as I’ve had before. The eggs were made perfectly and the yolk ran down and soaked everything up deliciously.
My friend had the Cajun jambalaya egg rolls which she said was really good and extremely spicy. It was «New Orleans wrapped up in an egg roll and deep fried.»
The ambiance was nice. It looks like it would be a nice place to watch a football game. There was some outdoor seating that I would have loved to try but it was too cold on the day I went.
The service was ok. It took our server a long time to get to our table but when she came to us she was friendly and helpful.

Stellar Cajun Bloody Mary. I do wish they had bacon vodka but it’s still spicy and hangover cure worthy and the celery was fresh and crunchy.
Our waiter was kind of out of it. I think that was just his personality. Maybe he was tired. Anyway the food is okay. Nothing spectacular. We ordered brunch items. They could have definitely used more flavor. The spices were lacking. They were kind of heavy and greasy in the mouth without the extra flavors of salt or pepper or garlic or onion or anything lol.
Just stick to the bar bites and burgers. I bet they’re way more worthwhile.
P. S. A million years ago I ate here and had calamari. First time it came cold so I sent it back. It came back nice and fresh. Crisp and not chewy or soggy. So yeah, bar bites and burgers.
