Stumbled upon Gris-Gris for brunch after visiting the Buckner Mansion! We got a table outdoors on their bottom balcony and enjoyed the sun. I got the oyster and Cajun caviar po boy -- Crispy Oysters with Cajun Caviar, Arugula and Buttermilk Ranch Dressing on French Bread. The po boy also comes with fries.
My friend got the open faced pot roast -- Roast Beef Debris with Mashed Potatoes and Brown Gravy on Texas Toast. Both dishes were flavourful and very well portioned.
Only complaint is that service was quite slow.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jennifer M.Sherwood, OR72509239Jul 13, 20241 check-in
Oh my- Legit good food. Atmosphere is perfect, service was excellent.
The special was Sword Fish, it was perfectly cooked, light flakey and delicious. The burger was full of flavor and the fries were perfect seasoned. My son fell in love with the shrimp appetizer.
If you're in the area definitely worth it and not still worth it if you're not.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 3, 20241 check-in
Gris Gris is a staple in New Orleans. Their food is always consistent and I'm surprised that they are not more popular. The ambiance is warm. The staff is always friendly. The service was very quick on this particular Friday evening. Many of seating options- You can choose to sit around the open kitchen, on their upstairs balcony, outside on the ground level.
Appetizers:
Gizzards- deep fried and comes with a brown gravy with cheesy grits. It was a bit salty, but I'd give it another try next time.
Oyster BLT- *MUST TRY* - deep fried oysters with fried pork belly on top of pepper jelly. Just YUM
Entrees:
Chicken & Dumplings - perfectly flavored and I loved the texture of the dumplings. I wish there was more dumplings to go with the large amount of chicken; I'll ask for extra next time.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Igor K.Temecula, CA615Jun 16, 2024
Took me a minute to write this. Being a fellow Culinarian I decided to take our friends that were visiting from out of town for Brunch. One of our friends was pregnant and quite hungry. There was six of us for brunch. The waiter was celebrating hiding birthday and we even added a little extra cash to his pin he was wearing.
We waited 1.25 hours for our food to come after we placed the order. Lots of blame was placed on the kitchen. I stood up from the table at the 1 hour mark and approached the manager to let her know its been a while and that we had a pregnant guest that was visiting from out of town. After coming close to walking out, our food finally came way over cooked. But we ate it because we were very hungry and we had to rush out the door to take our friends to the airport. Thinking our bill was going to be covered or wt least heavily discounted, we found out we only received a 10 percent discount and auto grated. 2 out of the 6 people were 8 year old kids .. that had to wait almost 1.5 hours to get at least a side of fries.
Talk about multiple issues. Never coming in againHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - May 24, 20241 check-in
Gris Gris, I have heard many things about this establishment all the way from the east coast!
I made a reservation, which i'd highly recommend considering that this seems to be a hotspot. The ambiance is very lively, imagine a bar or brewery. The service is good, but could be better. The waiters and waitresses chatter and gossip a lot behind the bar, when they could be spending that time tending to their patrons (just saying LOL)
The menu was very limited and overpriced. I ordered a bowl of chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, and also a oyster caesar salad.
The gumbo was so savory and warming! The seasoning and flavor profile were bold and authentic! This dish felt warming and comforting! The oyster salad was nice and tasty, and I felt like the oyster protein was a nice touch to the salad! The meal was amazing and done right!
I enjoyed my time here, but this place could implement some improvements (as noted above) to improve the establishment. Cheers to good eats!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 29, 2024
This was our only real unplanned dinner of our trip. Our hotel was in the area and we passed by thought it looked good. So glad we stopped! We got a spot at the bar which is a view of the kitchen so it was dinner and a show. Note that the rest of the tables and bathroom are up a steep staircase. The wait staff are definitely getting a workout.
Our waiter was very kind and the shrimp and grits were a surprise food highlight of the trip! I devoured it all!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 23, 2024
We came here for the dessert and drinks as we already had eaten lunch before we realized we were so close to here.
We arrived around 5pm and since we knew we weren't going for a full meal, we asked to sit at the bar. I got the bread pudding and the bf got a sazerac cocktail, of which we both thoroughly enjoyed.
We felt somewhat disappointed that we had already eaten. When you sit at the bar, you get to see the food being made. As we watched them prepare dish after dish, our mouths started to water and we started looking at the menu to see if we could figure out what people were ordering. The bar was spacious and felt like it would have been comfortable even if we had a full meal.
We got great service, even though we only had a few items. I really enjoyed the bread pudding even though I was full. Next time we're in the area, we'll be back to try some entrees.Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 1 - May 16, 2024
Always wanted to go here so when my daughter came in town, we decided it was the perfect time. We made reservations for 12pm on a Sunday , and it was not crowded at all. We sat on the balcony over looking the city and it was lovely. I ordered the BBT which was pretty good and hearty. The portion was a great size. The benedict however was a little disappointing. My daughter said the pulled pork was not flavorful but the croissant it was on was delicious. She mentioned she'd like to go back due to the great ambience and friendly service but definitely order a different meal!

We made reservations to celebrate Valentine's Day. We'd dined here on our first date and hadn't been back since. If our service then was like it was tonight, we probably wouldn't have returned. The forecast called for a 100% chance of rain so we called to see if we could move our balcony reservation to inside. The host had already moved us to the chef's table. We loved that. However our enthusiasm was dashed by our curt server. After waiting a while, we were greeted with, "Y'all know what you want yet?" and it didn't get better from there. He was inattentive and in a rush.
Another unfortunate moment happened when we asked what was in the brownie pie. The server asked one of the sous chefs who rolled his eyes. The pie wasn't on the menu or online, so there was no way to know if there were nuts or what exactly a brownie pie is. The hosts and the person who brought our cocktails were friendly, though. My partner enjoyed his shrimp and grits. I agree with him, that dish was great. My duck was cold and the portion of the entree including the sweet potato was disappointing. I did enjoy the flavor of the puree. It reminded me of a classic Thanksgiving candied sweet potato dish. The duck was well seasoned, too, but not at all hot.
Ultimately, it was a bummer that Gris-Gris didn't live up to the sweet memories we'd associated with it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 31, 2023
We just happened across this fantastic restaurant. It was a tad chilly outside so we chose the hour wait to sit inside. Well worth it! The Chefs Table was amazing. Watching the multiple chefs prepare meals and chatting with them and other guests was fun. The food.... omg! There are no words to express its amazingness!
I had the best swordfish ever. My hubby had shrimp and grits. To die for. The service was fabulous. Southern friendliness to a Ten! We loved watching those amazing servers with One Hand!!! ...hold the giant platters loaded with plates of amazing food go up the steep steps to serve guests upstairs! What a feat! It was so fun we had an extra local made beer and desert, and stayed awhile longer to enjoy all the local environment. Nice place, casual or dressy. Very welcoming and appreciative of their patrons.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
