    Had a great experience at Bourbon Street Barrel. Ian our server made sure that we were well taken care of. Some of the best service I have ever had, they are lucky to have people like him on staff. The food was great and the atmosphere can't be beat. Will definitely be going back.

    I wish I remembered our server's name but they were amazing! The gator bites, spinach dip were yummy! Catfish and grits were delicious (grits were so creamy). The atmosphere is pure NOLA. Would recommend.

    Doesn't look like much from the outside however once you step inside you'll be transported to another era. I felt like I dropped straight onto Bourbon Street New Orleans. Great atmosphere, always busy, delicious plates of food slinging around the place. Jambalaya, gumbo, shrimp n grits, everything tasty and beautiful on the plate. Go check it out, it's worth the wait for a table. We sat upstairs and got to walk thru the whole place. Service was perfect, the food delicious. Have a drink at the bar.

    Found BSBR through a Google search. We stopped here for lunch on the Saturday of the last Labour Day weekend. The place has a beautiful atmosphere. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, it's like entering a whole new world. The menu is extensive. We ordered fried okra, sweet potato waffle fries, sausage po'boy, and jambalaya. Everything was excellent with a lot of flavor except the po'boy. It was cold as the sausage wasn't freshly cooked and the bread wasn't toasted. We got the creme brulee to finish off. Overall a great experience.

    Always expect a wait. Always go hungry. Grab a drink and browse the menu while you wait. Great seating to people watch. Once seated, strap in for an experience you won't soon forget. There are happy hour specials and a menu full of creole favorites. Honestly, I've never gone beyond the jambalaya and gumbo. It is so good! The service is great and your servers are friendly. The decor is eclectic and fun. Spend some time in the Tremont area in the shops. Plenty of parking with a simple app for payment. Enjoy!

    Food was good, really liked the shrimp po boy. I had the pick 3, gumbo. Jambalaya and duck wings. I like the Duck wings and the sauce, but very little meat just a heads up.

    Went on a Saturday right before primetime and it was about a 45 minute wait. We were able to snag bar seats before our buzzer went off and ended up ordering drinks and our food right there. It is quite loud upstairs and down, so I would recommend it to a group of people rather than a date night. However, going to the bar area would be perfect for drinks and an appetizer for two. Patrick served us at the bar. He was very helpful and patient, as were all the bartenders. The food was brought out quite quick for a busy Saturday, we were impressed. The food was delicious. We got the hush puppies and alligator bites for apps and the shrimps + grits and jambalaya for our entrees. Would definitely go again. Cajun food was a new experience for us and I'd love to take friends here in the future to have a new food experience as well!

    Drinks were fantastic. Food was phenomenal. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. It's located in Tremont which is the cutest little town ever! We visited during dinner so we had to park about 2 blocks away but there was quite a bit of art to check out on our short walk to the restaurant. We really enjoyed our experience and can't wait to come back again and try more of the menu.

    We had some excellent wine at the bar and we enjoyed the space so much. The vibe was so cool and the bartenders were amazing. We loved speaking to Kristen who was our bartender. She was so kind and helpful! We will be back with friends! Best bar experience in Tremont! ❤️🍸🍷

    I absolutely loved this place! The vibe was nice and so was the service. The drinks were so delicious that we both had to try another one and those were also good! Our appetizer didn't take long to come out and I enjoyed the sauce that came with it. I wish I would've known I could have bought some and took it home while I was there. And our meals were definitely good! I was only able to eat half but I warmed it up the next day...... And I almost wanted to go back and get another one. That pulled chicken is to die for, not literally but it's good!

    Nice spot to go to for New Orleans styled food. The drinks are definitely strong, food was good. Service was great as well. Definitely recommend if you want a good meal and drink to watch some games or just to eat.

    So happy we gave this place a try while we were in town. I loved everything here from the atmosphere to the service. All around everything came together to make a great dining experience. The menu does have a lot of options to choose from so anyone could find something to eat. The only drawback is that we weren't offered a kids menu while dining. Nonetheless, our child is 10 y.o. so we were able to make it work. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience. With optional seating areas, happy hour and great food you won't be disappointed.

    Everything about this place is just wow. My husband and I just got married this weekend and we wanted to have a nice dinner because we were too tired to cook. Found this place on TripAdvisor and we decided to try it out. We got two orders of hush puppies, the bayou burger, and the three cheese pasta. Some of the best food we have ever had and we love to eat! Our server, Shyla, was so incredibly kind and brought us out a beignet to celebrate our wedding. On top of everything a very kind couple next to us overheard we got married and paid $50 of our check. This experience was unforgettable and we can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!

    My first time at this place. My best friend and I meet monthly to catch up. We were seated quickly upstairs. It was nice and quiet. Our server was attentive. Our food was hot and flavourful. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for a variety of New Orleans style food. You won't be disappointed.

    This was a beautiful dining experience with authentic Cajun cuisine. The service was wonderful, the staff friendly, and exceptionally attentive. They had a extremely diverse selection of beers and cocktails as well as a menu sure to meet the needs of the most particular of eaters. They take cash and cards. You need to be aware that they pass the 2.5% credit card fee onto the customer; so take that into consideration. Park is limited to the residential neighborhood unless you want to pay $10 for valet parking.

    Was visiting from out of town for work and we decided to stop in. Place was really spacious inside and had a beautiful upstairs. Our server was amazing and she was very friendly. We basically just let her order for us as we couldn't decide. Their happy hour was actually pretty good too and fairly priced.

    The ratatouille was phenomenal! I also got the sampler with the jambalaya which was good and spicy but not too much. I chose the gumbo and was a bit disappointed in it. Not sure if there was too much rice and not enough gumbo? The cheese bites were good but the cheese was spicy. Or so I’m told lol. I couldn’t tell. The beer flights were disappointing because I think a few were flat? But it happens sometimes and I won’t knock them for it. Cool place with good food. The beignets were really good as well.

    What an amazing Valentine’s dinner! It felt like I was back in New Orleans. The atmosphere is magic. My blackened catfish brought me to tears- it was that good, his chicken gumbo was on point. Our server Kira was so attentive, friendly and handling so many busy tables with such ease. I can’t wait to go back.

    Stopped in for a quick bite before the theater and realized that this was mainly fish and southern style food. Our waitress was very helpful and helped me order something that I could eat. While it was a bar and grill it was not too loud and even with the game playing it was not overly loud. The cheese curds were super yummy and the red pepper wrap was delicious.

  • 2/5 Chanel K. 1 year ago on Google
    FOOD WAS MEDIOCRE. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT UNTIL HAPPY HOUR ENDED AND IT GOT BUSIER. WE WERE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT EVEN THOUGH WE EACH ORDERED DINNER IN ADDITION TO HAPPY HOUR. THE WAITER WALKED BY US SEVERAL TIMES AND DISREGARDED US. THE HOT SAUCE IS NOT AUTHENTIC FROM LOUISIANA, IT IS MADE IN OHIO. THE HAPPY HOUR WAS ONLY ABOUT $1 DIFFERENCE SO THAT WAS NOT A BIG DEAL. THE RESTAURANT IS NICE BUT THE FOOD WAS NOTHING GREAT. THE GUMBO AND JAMBALAYA WERE DECENT, I'VE DEFINITELY HAD BETTER. THE BREAD WAS DEFINITELY OLD AS IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD. FUN FOR DRINKS BUT MY HUSBAND AND I RECOMMEND AGAINST DINING HERE.

  • 4/5 Kimberly R. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a nice experience. We ordered swamp fries and hush puppies for apps. The pork and cheese sauce on the fries were fantastic! The hush puppies were tasty recommendation from our server. The pulled chicken sandwich was good. I wasn't a fan of my fleur debris sandwich, the meat was tough but the server was so sweet about it!

  • 4/5 Prasanth G. 1 year ago on Google
    Quaint brunch spot with a bit of a wait. The prices felt a little high but the quality of the food was great! Wish I got to try their drink options. Their hot sauce (homemade?) was delicious too!

👍 March 2022: Stopped here for lunch on a comp from the Jack Casino. They gave me $30 that I used to get the Double melt, tots, vanilla shake, and chili to go. Pros: * Clean restaurant with a bar and plenty of TVs on the walls. * Friendly staff who were attentive to my needs. It was not very busy so...
