We had a blast at The Big Easy! The food was delicious.
Friendly crew, great food, and fair prices.
Great food, great atmosphere!
We had a great experience here along with awesome food! The staff were kind, funny, and genuinely good people! The food was authentic Creole and Cajun style with fresh homemade taste that made it hard to stop eating. We were pleasantly surprised to have the best alligator bites ever at this little place! The drinks were also made well, fairly strong but not too over the top. I wish I lived closer so I could make a weekly trip to revisit this little gem.
My wife and I went as a change of pace - try something new. Alligator bites were good, my seafood player was good. My wife's food on the other hand was issue after issue! She got a cup of jambalaya but it was all rice - she had to send it back so they could change the scoop of rice so it included meat. Then, the bourbon brownie was a hockey puck, literally a rock, couldn't cut it with a knife or fork but could have broken a window with it! Luckily for us the waiter said he would take it off the bill like he was doing us a favor, uh yeah that's the least you could do. It was supposed to be a pleasant night out on the town but it was a comedy of errors. She grabbed something from McDonald's on the way home!
Best Mothers DayI’m originally from Louisana so my husband took me to The Big Easy for Mother’s Day this year, and it was the best one so far. My toddlers crushes the alligator bites and my son with Autism loves the Gouda Grits ( he is really picky). It was a win because everyone found something on the menu they could eat, which is hard for our family. Also great service! Great atmosphere! And most importantly GREAT FOOD! We will be back
A true downtown Raleigh staple. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere had a nice creole vibe. The beignet's were okay. I recommend the Seafood platter, Taste of Louisiana, Pimento cheese fritters and the fried oysters.
Fantastic food and service. All the staff and especially our server Lonnie made us feel at home. Very relaxed atmosphere. A beautiful small spot in downtown to stop in for a bite!
I found this bar on the internet after looking for any speakeasies in Raleigh and this bar came up in the search results. So, since we were in the area, I thought it would be good to stop in and check it out. Although it was not a speakeasy, it was a nice bar and quite large for a downtown venue. The host welcoming us was very helpful in getting us to a table, unfortunately the bar service wasn't equally helpful. It was quite apparent that there was a bit of disorganization behind the bar, and with two bartenders I would assume they would be able to keep up. After we finally got our drinks, I figured it would be best to ask for the check right away, assuming that would also take some time. The drinks were fine and the location is good. Cheers!
We went as a family tonight, kids ranging from 1 to 17! We are from Utah, my brother and his wife live here in NC. We found this place and had the best time tonight! The food was delicious! The shrimp and grits are the best I’ve had! Bananas Foster were to die for! Great beignets! Bonnie was the best waitress. She took such great care of us, friendly, and went above and beyond! Highly recommend this place!! Great southern food!
