BrewRiver Creole Kitchen

UPDATE: Following up on the owner’s response … I agree that Leidenheimer’s Po’ Boy bread is top notch, but what I received with my Shrimp Po’ Boy was definitely not Po’ Boy bread with a thin crispy crust and soft interior (like what Leidenheimer supplies to Johnny’s in NOLA). I was either served the wrong bread or it was extremely stale. Either way, it was a significant quality oversight by the kitchen. ORIGINAL POST: This past Friday night was my first visit to BrewRiver. Since I have been to New Orleans in the past and loved the food, I was looking forward to the Shrimp Po’ Boy on the menu. I sat in the bar so I could watch the band Mystic Mile perform, and they were great. I wish I could say as much for my Po’ Boy. As shown in the photo, it was huge! As soon as I saw it, I kne

Overall, good food but nothing special about the place. Pros: - the étouffée was flavorful, although the rice was not fresh. - shrimp po boy was very good, sauce was great. Cons: - the fried oysters were not good at all. They were very oily and had a weird off flavor. - the menu could use more diverse options instead of all deep fried dishes. - the decor needs some serious work. Everything was a bit off with no cohesion and all very generic generally. For example the lighting, the chairs, the wall decorations, the dish-ware, and the bathroom setup. I probably won’t go here again as nothing in particular draws me back. I appreciate this place as a local restaurant so I’m giving it four stars, but it could be an awesome local spot if some changes were made. I wouldn’t recommend to a frien

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Brew River Creole Kitchen tonight with a friend, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was top-notch—every dish was bursting with authentic Creole flavor and cooked to perfection. Our server, Rachel, was phenomenal. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. It’s rare to find service this genuinely caring and professional. The atmosphere was equally wonderful—inviting, lively, and filled with the energy of people who clearly love what they do. It’s even more special knowing this amazing place is owned by a friend; you can truly feel the passion and pride behind every detail. We enjoyed every single minute of our time here.

Love this place! We finally got around to trying it and are in love. Food: Oh my god… we got the gumbo poutine, alligator and chicken, and jambalaya to split. The portion sizes are great, the flavor outstanding. Can’t say enough! We also got the banana bread pudding, equally incredible. Ambiance: The restaurant is super cool and big with different vibes depending on where you’re sitting. Love the live music. Can’t wait to come back when it’s nice out and eat on the patio!

The chicken and andouille gumbo was the best I’ve had. The barbecue shrimp and grits along with the truffle mac which I added shrimp to were amazing. The band was setting up as I waited for my to go order.
