The owners and other staff were extremely friendly. Very good CREOLE food—-not to be confused with spicy Cajun food. The courtyard is a delightful eating area ! Because it’s carry out only, we had to order our beignets when we ordered . By the time we were ready to eat them, they were not at their optimum! (Order at the end of the meal folks). The bread for the po boy was perfect and so were the shrimp and grits. Even though it’s quite a drive from my home, I’ll definitely go back! Well worth it. A hidden treasure in St. Pete.
Went to St pete to try out Chiefs Creole Cafe. Went in at 3pm they close at 6pm. NO smell of food cooking what so ever. I Ordered red beans and rice and crawfish souflee. The guy went in fridge and made 2 small containers of souflee and red beans and rice and threw in microwave!!! He then put Ice cold sausage on top of redbeans and ice cold pre cut crawfish on top of souflee. Charged us 35.00 plus tax. The food was horrible tasteless and Ice cold!! tasted like the fridge it was horrible and i will never ever go to this place or reccomend. I actually felt disrepected after being charged 35.00 for ice cold left overs.. smh
Just had the Creole Trio with jambalaya, gumbo and red beans and rice. The food is phenomenal! Kenny and Terrell are the best and treat you as if you are family. I highly recommend this place and they have great outdoor seating and authentic indoor seating and decor as well. Takes me right back to Nola! Thanks gentlemen and keep up the Great ambiance.
This soul food restaurant is located near the St. Petersburg Warehouse Art District. It is a couple of miles from Tropicana Field and next door to The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum It has been a staple of the community for eight years. The portions are satisfying. The food is flavorful even when warmed up at home (do not forget your sauces… the bread pudding has one as well as fish) Ask them to warm the sauce up that goes on your bread pudding…just a little…and pore it on (you are welcome).The prices are competitive. There is ample parking in the rear. Currently they are only offering carry out ordering. Consequently indoor seating is not available. But, they do allow you to eat on their patio. I highly recommend giving them a try… the sweet potato fries were “to go back for” and the corn muffins actually had corn in them. There service was welcoming. The order was brought out to the table (be kind and tip).
I don’t even know where I should begin. Everything was absolutely delightful. The moment we walked in Valerie was so welcoming and asked if it was our first time there. She gave us a sample of the jambalaya, and let me tell ya!!! Chefs kiss! So spicy and delicious. My wife ending up getting the jambalaya and I got red beans and rice. So much flavor packed into both of those dishes. Don’t skip out on trying the limeade there either. Super refreshing!There isn’t any inside seating at the moment, but they have the cutest outdoor patio. If you are down in St Pete go check it out! The whole staff was awesome and accommodating. You don’t wanna miss out on this place.
The food was amazing. That basil peach vinegaret is amazing. I was told that it's in house made. I had the shrimp and grits. They gave a sauce to go on side. I added it to the grits it actually made the food taste extra sweet.You won't be disappointed. It's worth the trip and the money.
I read an article about this place so I went to visit. I ordered the Creole Trio (Shrimp Étouffée, Shrimp & Grits, Creole Gumbo) and the regular beignets. The beignets did not have any flavor and were not soft and fluffy.The only thing that had an ounce of flavor was the Gumbo. The remainder of the food lacked flavor. Disappointed as I had such high hopes based on what I read.
Great spot for beignets and creole. Everything about the food was on point when I ate here and the outdoor seating is great for a relaxing lunch. Only reason it didn’t quite hit the 5 star is because I feel it just slightly over priced for the amount of food you get. Other than that though its definitely a top spot in the area.
Service, atmosphere, food. This place has it all. Cannot wait to bring family and friends here.
I went last evening with a group. They charged us $30 for Trio. Menu indicates $22. This was a rip off since they served me the same thing in 2 take-home dishes. All rice, 2 shrimp, 2 sausages. And I watched as they opened freezer bags to dump in the skillet. NOT fresh as they advertise.
