What a great evening! We arrived for dinner after 9 on a Friday night, not knowing it was the only night they were open late and had live music. Food was great, red beans and rice with jerk chicken, and fried shrimp. The owner came to our table and was lovely. She told us about the history and showed us artwork that Patti LaBelle had sent her. The singer and keyboard player were amazing. They even turned the mic over to a couple of people in the audience who were also very good. We felt like we had stumbled into someone’s living room during a family get together. A fabulous surprise for our first night in New Orleans. Enjoyed it so much we are trying to rearrange our schedule so we can go back.

JuJu was getting ready to close, but stayed open when they saw the look on our disappointed faces. I’ll tell you what, our faces had no disappointment when leaving. Everything was so tasty! Next time we go, we hope they haven’t sold out of shrimp. Catfish was fried to perfection and the waffles were fluffy and light. The food was only topped by the hospitality. Thank you, JuJu for existing!

So, so good. Our group had red beans and rice, French onion soup, homemade guacamole, and catfish — every single thing was delicious! Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed the turkey wings. I did appreciate that they are a red meat and pork free establishment. The owner is very nice and so knowledgeable of African culture. I expected a little more from the sides, they weren’t bad but they weren’t the best either. The outdoor seating is amazing, I would really like to come out when they have someone performing. I really hope they have dessert soon they would be awesome to finish a meal there. They also have an awesome barber shop next door. Ronnie does an excellent job with women’s hair cuts.

My best friend just moved into the Gentilly Terrace area and we popped in to try out Ju-Ju Bag yesterday. It was really wonderful. We were there at 10am on a Wednesday so we had the place to ourselves. The shrimp and grits were great. The omelets had something unique in them, either a citrus or a vinegar, they tasted wonderful. The owner welcomed us in and wanted to know each of our names. She helped prepare the food and checked in with us several times to see what we thought. This place is a local gem and I will be going back!

Excellent!!! I went for breakfast and ordered an egg sandwich on a croissant. It was so yummy! Turkey bacon, melted cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. Coffee was really good too! They even have a vegan item for those in need. I will defiantly go again to try lunch or dinner.

Surreal. Nice ambience. Our hostess took us out back and told us the place will be on Restaurant Impossible in May. She said, «We have a full bar.» Wine? Only moscato. Beer? Heineken. We ordered Heineken. She brought it out. Unopened. «We don’t have bottle openers.» I ordered a po’ boy. «They’re not good here. Only six shrimp.» OK. How about the mixed basket? «That takes hours.» OK. What should we order? «Salads.» Bottom line: food was edible, price was right, and the owner, a former Southern U prof, she said, entertained us with stories on the way out. Surreal. That is, New Orleans.

Fish Fry Fridays… not the best. I went in for the special and the smell of hair chemicals was overwhelming. Smells like a perm kit factory inside. After noticing the salon next door, I felt a little better. I ordered the fish and I was fried just a little too hard for my liking. The sides offered were mac n’ cheese and peas. Both were nothing to write home about. I’ll pass… better off going next door to Café Gentilly… if you want a good fish plate, that is.

I LOVE the food and people. I walked in by chance and what a find! The people are heartfelt in their friendliness. They really care about your experience with them, not by them because they make you feel welcome and relaxed as if you were meant to be there. The food is delicious with large portions. Well worth the drive from the Lower Garden District. Can’t wait to go back!!!

We were very happy with this restaurant. The service was great, the owners are friendly, and they have a salon attached to it. It’s a small place but still we loved it.

This place is quaint and has it’s own thing going on. I had the chicken wrap which was really good. I know they used to have spoken words here. I am not sure if they still do but it is a pretty nice place to eat. Hidden gem. Somewhat small but very cozy.

I couldn’t have dreamed of a better dining experience. Ms. T(owner) greeted my party with kindness and genuine southern hospitality. The environment is warm and inviting and the mimosas are strong. Our food arrived quickly and it was a feast for the eyes as well as our stomachs. Definitely a staple of our trip to New Orleans.

First time eating at the café and I enjoyed my experience. The inside is a little small, but my party felt comfortable. There is also a very large court yard in the back. Our server was polite and provided good service. The owner stopped by the table and answered our questions(such as, why the restaurant was named The Ju-Ju Bag). I enjoyed the turkey burger and the rest of my party enjoyed their food. I’m definitely interested in their Brunch Buffet on Sundays and hope to be trying that soon.
