I'm a little confused about Ralph Brennan's Jazz Cafe. Some places I see that it is a CS place and other places I see it is a TS place. Some things list it as both.
I don't want to have a sit down meal, but can we walk up to the restaurant and get beignets and a simple lunch/dinner?
Thanks again!
Yes, they have both a counter service, and a table service. We ate there as a table service, and being a South Carolina native away from the south for almost a whole year, I was really looking forward to eating here! I ordered the Bourbon street sampler and fried chicken :chicken:, red beans and rice, mustard greens-which were very good! Not as good as my mamas...but still. I would go back just for the mustard greens!! And we had bananas foster for dessert-DH ordered this(I would have preferred the double chocolate bread pudding...but maybe next time).
They have a web site with a full list of the menu. Just google them.
Hope you enjoy!!
The food is very different at the CS (Jazz Kitchen Express) vs. the TS (Jazz Kitchen). The TS restaurant is VERY good, and the food is more "fancy" New Orleans cuisine. I'd highly recommend dinner here (lunch is so-so). We've eaten here several times, and the food and service at dinner time are much better. Lunch has been spotty both times for us. This place shines at dinnertime. FYI, the Bananas Foster (invented by Ralph Brennan) is not on the menu, but it's available and they make it tableside. It's cool!
I personally prefer the CS location for a good lunch in DTD. The Po Boys are good. I'd steer clear of the hot dishes...they sit in steam tables for a LONG time, and look pretty gross...:sick:

Thanks for all the information and the clarification of the TS/CS issue.
I think we'll be doing a CS dinner here one of our days. My mom only wants to do 1 TS meal, so we are (hopefully) going to do a lunch at Cafe Orleans. She wants a Monte Cristo and I hear they are cheaper at CO than at Blue Bayou.
The beignets at Ralph Brennan's express counter are to die for! Yummy, yum, yum!
:ditto::exactly: Fortunately for my stomache I didn't discover these until our last day at DLR or else I would've been eating them morning noon and night and probably gained 10 pounds from them alone. My mouth waters every time I think about them... so please eat some for me!Quote:

Yes, Creole seasoning has a spice to it ... but I wouldn't consider anything served at Ralph Brennan's "spicy" -- more flavorful than hot. If you like your food bland, this is not the restaurant for you.
I've said this before on other threads, but I LOVE Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen!
Thanks for the clarification! I love flavor...I just don't like hot spicy foods.
Does anyone know if they still serve the fried chicken w/ red beans and rice? How long has it been gone?Quote:
