Two Sisters ‘N Da East

We stopped by here on our way from kayaking up in pearl river. Portions were large enough that we basically had full meals to take to-​go (BBQ special and the catfish). Great value and everything came out quick. Also, I could eat my weight in that cornbread. So good!

Highly recommend, large portions and great food. I loved the catfish!

I recently visited on a Friday during lent to get some seafood. I called in a takeout order and asked what kind of fish plate they were serving. I was told that it was catfish. It turns out that it was not Louisiana catfish, but swai. The peas were alright, but it seemed as though they were canned. The potato salad was a scoop of mashed potatoes sitting atop lettuce. On another occasion, I ordered the smothered pork chops. The chops were tough and you can tell that they were reheated from a previous day. This place has really changed from when I used to go there before the storm during my college days.

I never make it out to the East, so when I found out I was going to be in the area I hopped onto Unilocal and started researching places where I could eat. Hey, I might as well eat some good food if I am going to be in the neighborhood.
Enter Two Sisters ‘N Da East. People on Unilocal raved about this place, so I decided to stop in and check it out for myself. I was here pretty early for lunch– about 11:30 and the restaurant was fairly empty. I was told to sit anywhere and the waitress brought me a complimentary garden salad, potato salad and corn bread. Well, I like this place already! The salads were delicious and the corn bread went nicely with my meal.
The menu changes daily, and one of the specials of the day was black eyed peas with hot sausage, so I got that. A HUGE portion of black eyed peas over rice came out and I couldn’t have been more delighted. The dish was flavored with bits of ham and really delicious. The hot sausage was perfect and was obviously home made and it went wonderfully with the black eyed peas. This was a lot of lunch, so I ate half and enjoyed the rest later that night.
The staff here is so friendly and they make sure that you are happy with everything that you order and check on you regularly to see if you need anything else. I will definitely return to Two Sisters and I would say that the food is so good I would probably make a special trip just to eat here. They even do takeout, if you aren’t in the mood to sit and eat. This is home cooking at it’s finest and you won’t be left disappointed.

I went to this restaurant for my moms birthday today and I’m from New Orleans so I’m a bit use to this cuisine and it reminded me of both of my grandmothers cooking ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Baby this food was prepared from the depths of someone’s mother or grandmother soul. The waitress was very interacting and friendly as well. Only drawback I wish they’d stay open later.

We had to feed 65 people quickly and cheaply, so we searched various options for a catered meal and finally decided on Two Sisters. We are so glad we did! Not only were they very easy to work with, but they helped us out together a feast on the cheap for our student volunteers.
The baked chicken became the dish the students compared every other meal to, which says a lot in New Orleans! Side dishes were solid and flavorful. The bread pudding was amazing!
I would recommend this place to anyone wanting an affordable meal packed full of soul and flavor.

I’ve gone to this restaurant a few times throughout the years, and normally it’s a pretty descent place to go to get «soul food» their smothered turkey wings are good. The cabbage the last few times hasn’t been the worst cabbage I’ve had but not the best either. However, this last visit was not good for me. I order both the smothered chicken and turkey wing plate, both plates contained gravy rice and veggies. When I got the plates at 1pm the smelled okay. Now this was actually dinner for my roommate and myself, that evening she told me that her plate smelled spoiled. When I got home and smelled mine it also smelled spoiled. The real mystery was what on the plate was spoiled. I wasn’t sure if it was the rice or the gravy since we had two different meats. I was very upset because that was 22 bucks worth of food that went to the trash and we had no dinner. When speaking to another friend who had recently (last 3 months) gone there he also said his food went bad after a few hours which is crazy to me. I normally wouldn’t go for the service because usually they aren’t the nicest to me, but the food was pretty good, but now I will not be going for any reason I’m not going to pay to get sick.

Stopped in today randomly and was so pleasantly surprised by not only the sweetest and friendliest people working there but also the food is hand crafted delicious soul food — amazing and I will be coming back! I recommend the gumbo

Two Sisters catered our Community Housing event at Joe Brown last night. The attendees raved about the perfectly seasoned baked chicken, and people were fighting over the macaroni and cheese after the meeting was over.
They helped us out on short notice, delivered with no problems, and offered an incredible price.
5 stars for customer service, 5 stars for soulfood that reminded me of my grandma.

A lot of food. I’m too full to finish the review. I’ve been thinking about that Hamhock since I left New Orleans back in May. I will visit again next time I visit New Orleans.

Makes you Slap your own self from the Great Taste!!!

My friend and I came by for lunch around 2:30 on a Thursday. The place doesn’t look like very much inside and out. Upon walking in, we were not greeted. I had to ask the woman at the register who did not acknowledge us if we were to seat ourselves, which we were. After we found a sticky table, a waitress came by and brought menus and utensils while another woman dropped off 2 plates with salad and potato salad and another plate with 2 pieces of corn bread. Neither of the women were very polite.
The potato salad was ok and the other mess on my plate was a sad excuse for a salad. Clumped up chunks of iceberg lettuce, a giant slice of tomato, and a couple slices of pickles which is what I would expect to get in a fried seafood platter from a local Cajuns. The slices of cornbread were big and pretty good, not too sweet, not too dry. Our waitress didn’t ask if we had any questions. She basically threw our drinks on the table and ran off because I didn’t even get to tell her she had forgotten the straws. She obviously doesn’t have any experience with talking to people or smiling.
We had the red beans and rice w/​smoked sausage and also ordered the fried chicken dinner but received the smothered chicken dinner instead. The notepad she was holding must have been just for show. We didn’t even bother telling the waitress that the order was wrong because she didn’t have a good attitude and made herself out to be very unapproachable.
The red beans were very bland. I added a lot of hot sauce and salt but it was still missing that hearty depth of flavor you expect from beans and rice. It came with a good amount of smoked sausage. My friend’s smother chicken was a total let down. The chicken, even though it was drenched in gravy, was flavorless and very dry. The mac and cheese that it was served with was also bland, it would have been better out of a box. The waitress did not come to ask if we needed anything or how our meals were, she only stopped by the table quickly once we were done pushing our food around on the plate to see if we were ok.
We really wanted to like this place. The food was so disappointing and the service was no better, so we won’t be returning nor will we be recommending. And the price? Way too expensive for the quality of the food and dining experience.

Soul food. Real soul food. Your meal will take up 2 plates and it will be delicious and you will need a nap afterward. I’m sure every meal here is 2,500 calories but it’s the real deal.

I have been in New Orleans for two days now and the people all bragged about Dookys and it was not to my standards. I had to ask the locals were to go and I finally found GOOD food! This made my trip much much better and the prices were very affordable. I had the smothered chicken… yummy! The sweet tea taste like Grandma made it! Highly recommended

Great place to relax a while and enjoy some good southern food. The service feels like you’re at your Mom’s house. They make sure you get some food right away by handing you a salad and some cornbread. So if you hungry when you go in, no need to wait.

Chitterlings! Fish! Greens! Cornbread! You need to go get some. BUT how can I get dinner when you close at 5:00? Have to figure out a wY to stay open later, make more $$

Very modest place… my first time here. Walk in and seat yourself. The catfish was seasoned very well. My husband had pork chops which he said were tough and not seasoned. The collard greens were not fresh but they were seasoned good… I think they were frozen. I didn’t like the way greens were put on same plate and made all of the food soggy with juice. Specials available throughout the week. Portions are large enough for 2 people.

Went on a Wednesday for lunch with a few people from my office. None of us had been there but I had read reviews and was intrigued. They have a different menu everyday.
When you arrive, you’re given a prepackaged plate with a salad and a scoop of potato salad. The potato salad is really good. The choice of beverages are exactly what you could expect in a soul food restaurant so don’t expect to get a diet coke or tea that unsweetened. The food is delivered quickly and portions are huge. I had the collard greens with rice and hot sausage. It was amazing. The cornbread was delicious.
There were 8 of us there, not one of us could finish our plates and we tried. 1 person had the black eyed peas with rice and pork chops. 1 person had the shrimp with okra. 3 people had fried chicken with the mac n cheese. The other person had what I had. All of us really enjoyed our meals and are looking forward to going back on a Monday for red beans and rice.
The office tends to go out to lunch once every couple of months and for quite a while we’ve been going to the same place. We left Sisters ‘N Da East that afternoon saying that we have just found our new favorite lunch spot.

Come on an empty stomach. I was craving some soul food and stopped by Sisters ‘N Da East. I was stuffed when I left. I had the smothered okra and shrimp, smothered chicken, collard greens, cornbread, and a salad that I could not eat. The only the issue I had was the food was not piping hot, but it was seasoned well. It was as close to home cooking as you can get from a restaurant. It really reminded me of a scene out of What’s Happening (telling my age) with the table set up. The only thing missing was the jukebox. I would definitely give this place a try when I am having one of my soul food cravings.

The Bell Peppers!!! I live for bell peppers and these didn’t dissappoint. Great size and actually gives you two filled with yummy goodness as well as shrimp! The plate comes with Mac N Cheese, Cornbread, Potato Salad, Sweet Potatoes, and gravy and rice if you want that as well. The plate is huge and will last you two days if you like. It is soooooooooo good.
If you love soul food you need to check this place out. I’m not a big soul food person but this place definitely makes me want to eat it all the time and this huge plate was only 9 bucks people!
