    On my first visit to Evangeline, I had the gumbo and the red beans and rice. The gumbo was very flavorful, medium spicy, and a generous amount of chicken and sausage accompanying the perfectly cooked rice. The red beans and rice were out of this world. I always appreciate when something so simple and humble can be done with such love, passion, skill, and flavor!

    Went early to enjoy a cocktail at the bar and quickly changed to stay and enjoy dinner while seated at the bar. The bartender was great, had a wide knowledge of local favorites. We all had different dinners and everyone raved about their meals. Small & intimate.....give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

    Food was generally good but had a lot of filler. For example, the jambalaya was mostly rice with little meat or vegetables. The bananas foster bread pudding dessert was delicious. Service was slow.

    Dinner was awesome. Brunch was just okay. Bartender was very nice but wait staff forgot about us and left us sitting for about 20 mins before ordering.

    Was able to try many New Orleans classic dishes while here. The price isn’t steep, and Justin the bartender does a wonderful job!
