I was totally blown away by how good this place was!!! And the staff was OUTSTANDING! The wife and I stopped here on our way out of town after Jazz Fest. I have already recommended it to several coworkers since my company is based out of NOLA. If you go, try the brussel sprouts and the SMOKED PORK BELLY!!! On a scale of 10, they dialed it to 11. Sure, the BBQ may not have gold dust on it, but I didn't have high expectations when I walked in. Suffice it to say, I was surprisingly impressed.
We went here for a late lunch. The atmosphere and service were perfect but the food was a disappointment. My husband and I got the very forgettable smoked chicken salads. Half the chicken was chewy, the other half had a good texture but little flavor. I had to pick spoiled lettuce out of the salad. Our kids said the chicken tenders and hamburger were delicious. The $5 side of cornbread was laughably small (maybe 1x1.5x3”), greasy & chewy. The highlight of the meal was the bottled Barq’s root beer. We didn’t order it but they also offer a tempting flight of great bourbons. Overall, I wouldn’t return for the food.
Everything was great. The music was the perfect volume. The server was great. Pulled pork and the brisket cheese fries are amazing. My favorite though was the cornbread. Some of the best I'd ever had.
Excellent food! Three meats is plenty to share. The Brussels sprouts are awesome!! Dipped in the mustardy Carolina sauce is even better! Excellent service, clean restrooms.
Nice atmospher, not fancy. Excellent briskett and side of cole slaw. Other meats were just OK, but the briskett was "to die for"
If you find you're looking for a non-meat dish at Frey Restaurant, consider this off-menu selection, grill cheese (3 or 4 types) on Texas toast, topped with tomatoes, caramelized onions, pickled jalapeños, and if you'd like, a fried egg. Add a side of fries or cole slaw, and voila!. The beer selection is nice as are the cocktails; there's always a special drink of the day. The staff is wonderful. Kristin (Kiki) has great recommendations, I.e. today's celebrated repast. Enjoy!
What a great meal, fried chicken sandwich w sriracha aioli and a side of Brussels sprouts, It will be a while before I have chicken this good. The Cole slaw was one of the best I’ve ever had. Happy hour from like 3 or 4 to 7, many great options. The service was professional, ask for Kristin. I think she goes by Kiki.
Really good food and our service was excellent. We had a group of 9 people in our family and were able to walk from the house we were renting for the week. They got us seated right away. The ribs were really good and tender.Everyone was really happy with their food and our server couldn’t have been better. Great job everyone!
The jalapeño mac and cheese and brisket were amazing! However, it was annoying that I couldn’t get mac and cheese as a side so I had to do 2 meal orders to try it and the meat. They also mixed up our order a little bit. But overall the food was fantastic. The Moscow mule I got was also good. One of the top dinners I had on my trip in New Orleans.
The food is delicious- I had the brisket, pork belly and ribs. They were all most and filled with flavor. The coleslaw was yummy with a mustard finish and cornbread was perfect. The mac and cheese is cream and devine, with cheese crust to die for.
