Five stars for atmosphere, food, and incredible happy hour specials! This is one place in Tremont you definitely want to check out.
I came for lunch on a Saturday and we decided to sit on the patio since it was such a beautiful day. The patio is spacious and so cute. All the tables have umbrellas and there's a nice canopy of lights overhead. I could hang out here for hours! The inside of the restaurant was very thoughtfully decorated as well. You really get a flavor for New Orleans culture here with the ornate ceiling and sparkly chandeliers.
Our waiter was attentive and upbeat. Happy hour specials were phenomenal; there was so much to choose from, and prices were so affordable! We started with a round of Pimm's Cups which were very refreshing. We then ordered a bunch of different appetizers to share. The hush puppies were delicious and the sauce was to die for. The andouille sausage was great, and Johnny's Famous Gumbo was all I had hoped for and more! Spicy but not too spicy, and rich with flavor. I also had a Caesar salad on the side - not creole cuisine, obviously, but worth noting as it was quite delicious as well. We ended our meal with an order of beignets which came piping hot and fresh out of the fryer. Absolutely delicious.
I was so happy with my experience at The Bourbon Street Barrel Room and will definitely be back soon. Whether you like creole food or just a great happy hour, you need to try this place!
