Remoulade

Remoulades is great for getting good and well priced food on Bourbon. My husband and I usually go when friends are in town who want to stay on bourbon street. The food is good, and I have enjoyed many dishes from this kitchen.
The jambalaya is tasty and you can definitely split most of these plates because they are very large.
They have many Cajun food options that will leave you satisfied.
The staff has always been friendly and the wait time is nothing. You receive your food in a timely manner.
The food is not high quality but like I said it’s good, not great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a nice meal in the hustle and bustle of bourbon street.

First time in New Orleans and this was my first food place. Great food, great service! !!

I was guided here by a friend’s past experience. I ordered the blackened catfish and oysters on a half shell. They oysters were huge and the best I’ve had. The catfish was also really good. There wasn’t much competition for seating so staff was very attentive and friendly. Overall, pretty good experience!

Great Service, I had the Blacken Burger and Nawlin Nachos. Pretty great food. I should got the burger medium-​rare instead of well done

I found it amusing someone else commented on getting Luke warm food. That happened to me as well. The front of house staff were great at getting it rectified quickly so someone should have a word with the kitchen to stop making this a thing. There were only 4 other tables at the time so no excuse to ship a lukewarm bowl of rice out at all.
Portions are small for America. But considering nearly everywhere else you are looking at more money for food you might not be hungry enough to eat it was ok for value. Stuffed crab was the winner.

First of all – NO SWEET TEA!!! WTF!!? 12.95 for crawfish étouffée. Very small portion. VERY SMALL. Luke warm. Had okay flavor. Maybe I was expecting more when it came to the food. Our waitress, Deondra, was great! What a sweetheart she was. Overall, nice atmosphere. Management said hi to us. We came in to eat on a Monday at noon. Not busy.

While the service was a bit slow, and some of my friends were bummed that they couldn’t drink their outdoor drinks, the food was good. I recommend getting the boiled shrimp. I had the stuffed crabs as my meal. They had a decent amount of meat in them, but I have had them at other places where they were more crabby.
Very affordable for the location.

This is my first time to NOLA and my husband insisted we go to Bourbon street first and after 2 frozen drinks I needed food and fast! We stumbled upon Remoulade’s (literally) and were immediately seated. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was really clean. The food order arrived quickly. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp po’boy. At first glance the sandwich was huge. Then as we got down and dirty, we noticed there wasn’t quite as many shrimp in there as we thought which is why I am only giving 3 ½ stars. For the price, $ 11 each, I thought that there should be more shrimp but perhaps that’s the norm. I will say the bread was the best I’ve had thus far and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you could put Acme’s fried shrimp or oysters into Remoulaude’s French bread, it would be hands down the perfect po’boy!

Shout out to great staff who held onto my very unique Halloween shades that I forgot on the table. I knew it was the last place we were at before going back to the room to change into our Halloween costumes. Showed up the the day after and they were waiting at the register. Food was good too, not my favorite in the quarter but everyone has different favorites. But as far as first impressions go, the service was excellent with relatively clean restrooms, and I have a tendency to judge the cleanliness of a restaurant by the state of cleanliness of its restrooms. Anyway, thank you guys and we’ll be back next time!

They do not clean the shrimp here!!! Who wants to eat shrimp with the vein (shrimp colon/​poo) still in it!
Every piece of shrimp on my plate I had to cut open with my butter knife and take the poo out.
The waiter was good, but he could of inquired as to what I was doing and maybe offered something. A sharper knife would have been nice. The girl at the register just watched too.
Oh well… Not bad food once I cleaned it.

Not very good, although I did not have any oysters. The sandwiches were totally unacceptable… astonishingly bad. Mufaletta was served on what might have been a hamburger bun… quartered ???
Orchid on the other hand was a delight… trying to make up for the lousy food with humor and an incredibly friendly and helpful attitude. We did return for drinks simply because of her professionalism and terrific attitude.

Hadn’t been here in 15 years and was delighted it still rocked.
The food is really good. This is a casual raw bar/​fried food in a basket/​light entrée type of place. The friend shrimp were juicy and very obviously fresh-​not frozen, and perfectly cooked. The étouffée was the best we’d had all week and we sampled in every restaurant we visited. Nice, THICK, fresh and flavorful!
One of the things I love is it is CLEAN! Clean dining room, clean bathrooms, clean food. Very friendly staff!
You will not be disappointed. Good prices too.

This was a random spot for our munchies walking on Bourbon street. It was late and I was just craving oysters again. It was not a busy restaurant and we were told to finish our drinks before entering their restaurant. The place was clean as well as their bathrooms. We had about half and hour to eat before closing time.
We were served warm bread and butter. We did order a side of Zesty Garlic cheese bread. This was good. We ordered chilled oysters and charbroiled oysters which is a common thing in these parts of New Orleans. Of course, it was fresh and good. The chilled oysters were served with my favorite cocktail sauce and horseradish. At least, their horseradish was spicy. We also ordered a oyster and shrimp Po boy. Pretty big size but too much bread coating for me and it just didn’t have that Cajun kick. Food and service is about 3.5 stars.
Service was good enough. We were the loudest in the restaurant and they didn’t give us a hard time since they were closing. This is a good place to have that snack before partying again! ;-p

Fresh French bread and the Taste of Louisiana. That was my introduction to New Orleans food, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Nice atmosphere. George at the oyster bar was great! Oysters were large and fresh. BBQ shrimp was overcooked but the flavor was still awesome. Another great new Orleans experience.

Great place! My boyfriend and I stumbled in off bourbon st… it was very busy so we sat at the bar and it was awesome, the bartender/​server was great, made small talk with us when we asked questions then would go back to crackin open oysters.
The food was great as well, granted we only ate there once so I can only speak for the blue cheese burger, hot wings and potatoes… they were delicious!!!
Really enjoyed it!

The Crawfish meat pie was tasty.
Service was close to non existent. Had to ask her for everything and she was either confused as to why we were asking for one refill on an ice tea or why we might need flatware. Hopefully she was new to the profession and just not properly trained.
Also, they have limited bar drink options.

Out of all the 5 draft beers… only 2 were available. Service was outstanding… Maybe because My table the only table here. Waiter gave us extra oysters just because??? Extra star for that. This place differently needs improvement.

We used to come here all the time for their turtle soup so decided we had enough NOLA food and needed a burger. OK, we still got the turtle soup, which is excellent. The burgers were lousy. Apparently they cook them way ahead of time as they were dry and the cheese was all congealed. All we wanted was a decent burger but I guess we should have realized this was a Cajun kind of food place.

WHAT MAKES IT JUST OKAY:
5 STAR: Service. It’s one of the friendliest wait staffs that I know of and many have been with the restaurant for ages.
4 STAR: Space. A traditional Vieux Carré wood-​panel and tile café. Like Desire, Mr B’s or K-Paul’s, these restaurants are raucously crowded and festively noisy.
3 STAR: Price/​Value. Both Remoulade and Olivier’s have a $ 13 catfish platter but Olivier’s includes a side of jambalaya, a slab of their delicious honey drenched cornbread, and about twice as much catfish — which for me is the best in the FQ.
2 STAR: Food. The menu is uneven (believe other reviews). My entrées always seem overly salted and often resemble defrosted frozen dinners. Also, I don’t like their remoulade. I much prefer the creamy «white» version at Gumbo Shop.
1 STAR: Clientele. Tourists! Savvy locals avoid the flip-​flopped collarless masses and opt for tonier yet quite affordable lunch spots such as Tableau, SoBou or Borgne.
LAGNIAPPE: «Arnaud’s Creole Mustard» is outstanding!
