Toups Meatery

This was our second time to eat at Toups Meatery. We showed up without a reservation so the host whipped out a two top for us. The cocktails were great, especially the Poblano Escobar. The meat board had several amazing components. I could live on the cracklins, but they’d probably kill me. My wife had the venison. I had the pork chops. The picture is blurry, but the again so am I after trying to finish it. Everything was perfect. We don’t come to New Orleans often enough, but next time we do, we’ll be back again.

Enjoyed great brunch/lunch in New Orleans at Toups’ on Saturday. Got the marinated crab claws in chili vinaigrette with pickled pineapple - excellent. Cocktail “Something about Cherry” - cherry rye, pear shrub, apple cider - nice & seasonal. Dirty Rice is the real deal and meaty with balanced cajun spice. The Toups’ burger is a seriously superior creation of Chef Isaac of wagyu beef with wonderfully unique pickled squash, cheddar, bacon and creole aioli. This is a higher strata of burger class with each component able to be savored and married. We will be remembering this one and returning. Also really enjoyed opportunity to meet Chef Isaac and talk about the food. Looking forward to returning soon for dinner for the variety of cajun carnivory offerings.

Can’t recommend this place enough. We shared a beautiful New Year’s Eve dinner on the patio. We ate several of the dishes that chef Toups is known for. Our service was impeccable and personable. The food was interesting and delicious. Truly a unique experience. The lamb neck was awesome. The cornbread as well. I have to say the desserts were my favorite part just because I’m a sweets person. But there wasn’t a weak spot. Loved all of it.

Delicious food! We got takeout and omg! The Cuban sandwich was amazing - soft bread, flavorful meat, 10/10! The fried fish sandwich was perfectly fried with delicious tartar sauce. Pickle plate was so unique and a bit spicy. Particularly loved the green beans, onions, and beets. Finally, the broccoli Caesar was phenomenal. Some of the best dressing ever. Would go back for sure!

Started with the marinated crab claws and Irish coffees which were amazing! Different take with the marinated crab claws, not the typical butter spice. Very savory and pickled marinade. Awesome. Venison with fried eggs and biscuits/gravy and fried catfish served over perfect collard greens with two poached eggs cover with a tiny sauce that complimented the collard greens and fish perfectly! Don't skip this laid back, delicious eatery!
