GG’s Dine-O-Rama

Granted — busy Sunday morning so 30 mins to get a table… no problem. Placed order quickly. Complained after 30 mins that it seemed to be taking long. No periodic updates or apologies or acknowledgement of slow service. Others who were seated after us getting served food. Left after 45 mins, manager arguing with me that it is a fine dining experience that takes time and that it was impossible that our order did not go in sequentially… Whatevs — will not return. Ruined what could have been a nice Sunday Mag St experience.

FYI: checked in for $ 6 Bloody Mary and they refused saying it was no longer effective. Even though on Unilocal there was no expiration

Stopped here for brunch while Pre-​Mardi Gras costume shopping. There were way too many things I wanted to try, but the thing that sticks out most in my memory since this was several weeks ago now, was the cocktail I ordered. The Pink Lady was delicious and way too easy to drink! How is there two types of booze in there but it just tastes like Shirley Temple juice??? Dangerously delicious. I’d go back to try their Mac and Cheese as that looked amazing. Fun little spot.

Only had cocktails, no food, while shopping in the neighborhood, but very prompt professional service and extremely tasty libations. Clean environment and great location.

Located in the heart of the Magazine St business district is this fantastic eatery, fueled with excellent food and coffee to get your motor running. There are a few tables outside for superb sidewalk dining when the weather is on point. GG’s is breakfast and lunch, if you go on the weekend there might be a wait to be seated (well worth it). They do have TVs so Expect the Saints game on Sunday during the season. The standout food item for me here is the smoked Gouda grits. If you don’t think you are a grits person, these are the ones to try, they are exceptional, creamy, slightly smokey, uniquely New Orleans. The create your own three egg omelette, provides many great choices to do your thing whatever it is, but I recommend adding truffle oil!

This is a great brunch place. On a nice day go and sit outside on the patio and you can just people watch and enjoy everything going on down Magazine.
I’ve had the pancakes which were a sizable portion and delicious. I also got a side of the cheese grits. Very good southern style grits would highly recommend giving them a try. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs, cheese and veggies. This was probably one of the best I’ve had in a while.
The service was good, she always kept our coffee full. It is a nice casual spot, never had to wait for a table, but we also went a little later around 2. Parking can be a little tricky on the weekends due to its great location on Magazine, but just have patience and something will open up.

I had breakfast and hubby had lunch.
My biscuits and gravy was delicious.
My hubby had gumbo. I tried it.
Gumbo was also delicious.
Friendly service.

This place was formerly called «Gott Gormet» & I’m not sure if they are affiliated or not but seems like they just changed the name to draw interest… I ordered a sandwich as a hangover remedy once from Gott Gormet (through Nola food delivery) — it was fine. We made the mistake of going here on a Friday night recently. It was empty. This place should not even be open for dinner. It’s a sandwich or maybe breakfast place. They advertised breakfast anytime but we were unable to order breakfast that night for some reason. Due to the lack of appealing items on the menu, everyone ordered the shrimp & grits which were not inedible but they also were not worth the calories! I ordered the Mac and cheese & it was the same. Overall, I would not recommend this place at all, but if I had to, I would say lunch or breakfast (not dinner!!).

My family and I are visiting here from San Diego and we are SOOOO in love with this place.
The service here was incredible and the food was outstanding. We wish we could enjoy a place like this in San Diego.
We split the bacon cheeseburger sliders, the 7 cheese Mac n cheese, ham & Brie eggs Benedict, and the Cochon Cubano. We split it between the 4 of us and we are so stuffed.
The prices are super adorable too. We will be back for more before we leave back to SD!

Started off good enough and ended very poorly. Just left after having brunch/​lunch. They were busy and we have them that, being more than patient but the honest truth is the food was ok at best, everyone’s food came out cold, most everything was over priced & the waitress had all kinds of excuses. Multiple times we waited and waited, asking other servers to let our server know that we needed something, after she took her smoke break, she was sitting in the back with other staff just hanging out, our table still waiting. In the end, after waiting and waiting, she added gratuity to the bill for a table of 5 and did not tell the table. After each of us added a tip, someone realized she already added gratuity… just NOT happy all the way around and it takes a lot to upset this group at a dinner table!

Great brunch, we had the shrimp and grits, and a French toast special with pumpkin marscapone (?) spread. Both were the best we ever had of shrimp and grits and French toast. Friendly service, nice atmosphere made you feel at home.

Alittle disappointed! Had the turkey blt on sourdough. Bread was stale and did not taste like sourdough at all. But the margaritas are very good so that’s a plus.

Had the St. Patty’s Day Massacre and a side of mac n cheese! Great food, and the server, Jessica, was great! I highly recommend if your in the area to try this place!

Everything I have ever had here is so good. Fresh made and so much flavor!
The shrimp and Gouda grits are a big bowl so rich and creamy that I couldn’t finish the whole bowl. Only one half!
The Reuben! OMG the bread is so thick and fresh and delish. The ham is dr pepper shaven ham done in house. Like 99.9% everything here!
The shrimp wrap was full of flavor.
But the star meal I have had here so far was the grilled shrimp Gott salad! I could eat it everyday. Fried Brie?! Sold. Put it in my belly! Try it if you are a salad lover this one will make you plan your next trip here before you finish it!

Like Charles H. pointed out the open kitchen is great but the food here is so forgettable. I’m always surprised when dining out in New Orleans (the food capital of the world, in my humble opinion) if the food is bland.
The waitress was very pleasant and we loved her, but the food… ugh. We had a Shrimp BLT wrap and the Cochon de lait Cuban with a side of mac and cheese. Something was just «off» with all three dishes. The sandwiches needed more seasoning and the mac and cheese was too runny or something? I’m hoping they may have been having a bad day because I have heard great things about this place and would be willing to try them again, but you won’t see me running back anytime soon.
There’s outdoor seating here with water misters aimed at the tables to keep you cool in the sweltering New Orleans heat, which is a very nice touch. Next time I’ll be trying the breakfast menu.

Amazing fried chicken club with tots leaves nothing to be question about whether you have chosen the right dish! Crispy fried chicken smothered in cheese, bacon and the works wrapped in French bread… say what!!!
The only thing holding back the fifth star is a little reluctance from the waitstaff to complete the experience, but all in all a can’t lose lunch choice in uptown.
Enjoy!

Went here for lunch with vendors. Started with fried artichoke hearts. It came with a remoulade tasting sauce. Both were good. I had the shrimp po boy. The shrimp were a nice size and the fries were good, but had to much of that seasoning salt on it. The guy had fried chicken with bacon, avocado, spinach, and pickles. It was supposed to come on white bread, but he wanted rye. The waiter looked at him like why. So, he asked the waiter why he made that face. The waiter said because the chicken is so big and thick rye won’t hold it together. He didn’t mind so he got the rye anyway. He loved it! The girl got turkey sandwich and she liked it, too.

Went here 2 years ago when it used to be called Gott Gourmet and it still looks the same. The giant spoon and fork on the inside of the doorway is my favorite.
We noticed they had a ‘thick and spicy’ Bloody Mary on the menu and our taste buds were like Yes please! This drink came with a pickled green bean and a tooth pick adorned with tomato, mozzarella cheese and an olive. So good!
I got the Mac’N it Southern style which is Mac N cheese, big chunks of bacon and jalapeño and panko breaded fried chicken on top and it was so damn good!
My compadres got the Queso dip-​delcious! The Cuban sandwich which had pulled pork, housemade Pickles, Dr. Pepper-​Honey Baked Ham, Swiss, Ancho-​Honey Slaw, Honey Mustard & Chili Mayo-​savory and sweet yummilicious and last but not least the Shrimp and Grits which in my opinion you can never go wrong with anywhere and this place did not disappoint on any food!
With it being 4^th of July weekend and the Essence festival they were packed! Our server was still really cool and made sure we were tended to :)
They have outdoor seating here as well!

This little gem right here. my friends and i were walking up and down magazine street enjoying all the fun and quirky shops when hunger stuck us. its time for lunch and a cocktail! so we stopped in here. and im so glad we did. i started with what was the best appetizer in the entire world really. artichoke hearts. they were lightly battered and fried golden brown. they came with a tangy sauce. and i could have eaten them all day long. our server was fun and really personable. i liked her alot. she gave some tips and helped us choose drinks. i dont remember the drink i got but it was really good, and i was pleased. i next ordered the meltdown on magazine. i was in the mood for something like this, and also the menu said fancy pants. and i loved that fun detail. it was fresh and crisp yet gooey and melty. really good. it also came with tater tots. another super fun thing about this place. i know one friend got mac and cheese that was creamy and awesome, she let me try a bit. and also there was also some chicken wings at the table and something else that i know was happily devoured! i could not have been happier with this stop for lunch!

2 things I have to say about this place:
1. Best Mac n Cheese in the great city of New Orleans! Mac’n It Southern style… Mother of all things holy, it’s good. I would marry it if it lasted 20 min on my plate and it were legal to do so.
2. One of my top 10 brunch spots. Never disappointed in the food or in their Irish coffees (I always ask for extra Irish). I usually try and get whatever special Benedict they have cooking up and I’m never disappointed.
Only downfall is if you’re trying to get your brunch buzz on, I’d go down the street if you’re not ready to spend a little more here.

I’ve been here several times but only for breakfast/​brunch so I’m not versed in their lunch menu. Their brunch menu has a few highlights:
1. Crab and Brie omelette. In my opinion this is the best thing that’s on the base menu. Absolutely delicious.
2. Rotational Benedict. They do a Benedict special on Saturdays and Sundays. This can range from crab cake Benedict (my favorite thing they serve)
EDIT: favorite has been replaced by the duck confit Benedict
to fried oyster Benedict (not a huge fried oyster guy but it’s pretty damn good). Really depends on what you get that day.
3. Weekend brunch times. They only serve breakfast until 12 on Saturday. Call me lazy but I’ve missed this a few times. They serve it until 3 on Sunday which is much more manageable.
4. Breakfast drinks. Good Bloody Mary, but a variety of mimosa flavors that all seem to taste the same. They can also do Irish coffee which has a special place in my heart.
Pair all of that with good service and a couple good breakfast burritos and this makes for a solid weekend brunch (if you’re up in time). 4 stars!

Ok, where do I start? Well, we stopped in for a late brunch and we were told there would be a bit of a wait. The person seating us suggested that we eat at the counter, because it’s faster. I’m not usually a fan of counter eating, but considering that I was STARVING, I figured that I would suck it up in the name of fast service.
Well, we got our drinks quickly, ordered our food and waited. And waited and waited and waited. Finally, nearly an hour since we had first set foot inside the door, our food comes out. I ordered the broken yolk sandwich which is a fried egg, tomatoes, bacon and cheese on French-​like bread. I also got a side order of grits. The sandwich was… okay. Nothing really special and it was pretty much something I could have made at home. The grits weren’t bad, but were somewhat bland.
Let me point out that the staff was extremely apologetic about the wait. This brings me to another point: there was a couple sitting at a table that were clearly finished eating. They had paid and they had «go» boxes in front of them, yet they continued to chat and sip on their coffee as people waited. Now, I’m not usually one to tell people to hustle as soon as the check comes, but when you see people waiting– chug that brew and step. It’s just common courtesy.
I would go back, but not for brunch.

I don’t know why this place changed their name because the menu is still the same. I usually end up here because I’m nearby, and is undecided with what I want to eat. Not much here really stands out, but it is fresh and comforting. I do like the gumbo. Its got a great blend of spices and is served with a scoop of potato salad instead of rice. It sounds weird, but it is really good.
Happy hour is weekdays 4 – 9 pm. $ 2 beer $ 5 wine.

Order the Cochon de Lait Cuban Panini… that’s all I have to say
