Easy Creole is a hidden gem in a world of restaurants trying to one up each other in terms of trendiness and price. It’s just hearty, extremely tasty, cheap food served on paper plates. I got the 2 item chicken etoufee and maque choux. Comes over white rice with a side of french bread. I can’t remember the last time I got this much good food for the price. Next time I would try the vegan options!

Good food at a great price! The dishes were very hearty, but not greasy and heavy. Everything was seasoned well. Great value!

I'm not sure what to really say about this place except that it is delicious and I have yet to experience any other Creole dishes that taste like the food they prepare here. Even after I was full to capacity I kept going back to my carryout box and eating more and more until I had none left. It was my first time going and I asked some customers what dishes did they purchase and if they like them and they happened to be regulars and gave me really good advice on what to choose. So far I've tried the majority of the things on their menu and everything deserves it praise

First time going to this restuarant. My boyfriend and I went together with his son and daughter. Had a good time. Good food. Fresh to order. It's late March in the Bay area but still pretty chilly outside. They need heating lamps for their guests. The lamps that's there was for the bar right next door to them. I just think if you're offering outdoor seating you need to be sure your guests are comfortable.

Amazing food and great beer spot next door! Would eat here everyday if I could. The chicken creole is the dope✌️

Food: 4/5Service: 4/5Ambiance: 4/5Overall: I was pretty impressed with this place. I'll definitely be back.The extended review...Food:Chicken Creole & Shrimp Etouffee - 4/5 - OK...so both of these were both delicious and more importantly rich in flavor. I'm so glad that they offer a half and half option so that I could try both dishes.Service: 4/5 - Friendly service.Ambiance: 4/5 - Indoor and outdoor seating is available here. We sat indoors at the communal tables. There is a huge variety of decor inside and it's great to take a look at while you wait for your food.

Talk about a meal with flavor! My meal was half chicken and half chorizo and it was very tasty and food with flavor. Options of either white or brown rice and come with the bread. I overheard the cornbread is popping (I guess I missed out)

The cornbread was really good. The vibe was cool as well.

Decided to get this as a late dinner just flew in and man o man this spot really surprised me, corn bread was sweet and delicious, I did the 2 plates and ate it with the toast it came with. Food had great flavor and super fresh really enjoyed this spot would deff be back and recommend it for anyone in the area.

A little lacking on flavors. It was prepared well, but just not enough spice or heat to make it authentic. I ordered a half and half plate of bourbon chicken and red beans w/ hot links. Nothing hot about it though and needs a generous serving of cayenne to get you where you want to go. Probably good for the West Coast palette, but not for those of us transplanted from the South.
