Big Easy Grille

Very authentic Louisiana cuisine. Crawfish were on point. Second visit and great food and service. Recommend highly.

Big Easy is a fun place to dine, excellent seafood baskets, great hush puppies and a relaxing way to enjoy good food. Laurel is a hardworking, excellent server. She understands each table and their needs. I highly recommend her and appreciate her attention to detail. She is friendly and knows how to serve her customers. Thank you Laurel for making our evening!!

I have loved the Big Easy Grille for years!! After a long time away I met my bestie there for a crawfish chow down. Imagine 13 pounds between the two of us!! I can’t begin to share what an amazing time we had. I can write a screenplay based on the great time we had and those crawfish deserve a scene all by themselves!! J (bartender) is one of the best in the industry. Big Easy thank you for the much needed laughter!!! The regulars also deserve their own scene.

Holy moley this place rocks. The muffaletta was one of the best I've ever had. The etoufee was delicious, and the beignets tasted exactly like in NOLA. The Cajun bloody Mary was also right on point. 100% worth a try if you like Cajun at all. Update Feb 2025: Still awesome.

I called Big Easy asking them if they could serve a party of 20 (like a reasonable person) And they said, of course, and to give them an hour to prepare. When me and my family arrived, we were greeted with the biggest smiles and the kindest service. The food was immaculate. Tess and Turner were excellent servers and bartenders. Highly recommend! Do the small restaurant business a service by calling ahead so they can be ready.

I had been here once a year or so ago. & as I was searching for somewhere else to eat we came across this place & I remembered eating here before & it being 🔥 So glad we decided to stop in again The food was good & service was amazing!! I ordered the combo basket with catfish & fried oysters. My friend ordered the po boy & we each had a gumbo. Everything was amazing. There was no wait & we were seated almost immediately. We’ll definitely be back!

Where to begin? My boyfriend’s family is full-on from D.R. They don’t like going out of their comfort zone. When I tell you every single one of them enjoyed their food with gusto… wow. We came here as a pit stop for food on our way back to NJ. Also, they are wheelchair accessible and super accommodating. Pro’s: if you meet a guy named Turner, please feel blessed. That guy was the sweetest and sincerest. Seems like he loves his job and what the place is all about There are no words, just meet the guy and you’ll see for yourself. Overall: The food was fantastic. I swear the food is made with extra love. You also can tell how much the staff cares about the place with the atmosphere and the knowledge of one another. The owner is from Louisiana. The prices were reasonable due to economy and you couldn’t beat those seafood prices. We spent approximately $120 not including tip. Reminder, we got 2 appetizers, 6 entrees (3 being seafood), and 1 dessert. Only side note, if you do not like Cajun, this might not hit the spot for you. (P.S.) we forget the picture of the shrimp salad, but it was 100% approved by all.

I came here by myself and it was amazing! The staff is very nice and they move fast. The food was amazing. The blackened grilled Salmon could use more seasoning but it was still good. The jambalaya was also very good! Some of the best wings I’ve had here in Atlanta! I would definitely revisit this restaurant and I recommend it for a quick cute date or even if you just want some me time.

This is the 2nd time I am coming here for lunch and have to say the service and food quality has been consistently excellent! I forgot to take pictures of the food . Today I had the alligator & oyster combination platter with fries. Everything was served hot and fresh. Properly seasoned and fried. I also had the gumbo. It was tasty. I must say as much as it was good, I have had better gumbos. Notwithstanding, this was still very good, served hot with a nice size portion. The ambiance is warm, cozy and comfortable. The service was prompt, and very courteous. I had two servers tag teaming to assist me. This is definitely becoming a favorite spot for me to eat. Oh, the price is good as well.

I had the fried shrimp platter which included fries and hush puppies shrimp was seasoned really well could have been fried a little more harder but they were still good. The beignets were excellent came nice and fresh. Very tasty.

Lunch time has a steady crowd but staff is still pretty attentive. Food always good, must try there alligator bites(yummy). I've only been during lunch time so I can't say what the drinks be doing, but the look together have some cool specialty drinks. The space is a nice size, small but has so much cute creator. A must try and if you beat me there...let me know how the drinks are

So I've never sat in the restaurant to eat but I've ordered takeout a couple of times. Pretty good and consistent with quality of food. I normally get gator bites and fried catfish. Always super crisp. Gator bites are some of the best I've ever had. They come with this pretty tasty sauce too. Not sure what it is but it makes them pop for sure. Small inside and small staff but always taken care of when I go.

Big Easy Grille is like a hole in the wall little joint. Food and drink are pretty good. I had alligator bites/oysters and hubby fish & shrimp. Both meals were served with fries, came out hot and fresh and rather quickly. The Electric Lemonade was a bit too tart and carbonated flavored for our liking. Probably should've paid more attention to the description. Beignets were hot and just the right serving after an entree. I also had to try the bread pudding. It was a little on the soft side, similar to oatmeal but tasty. Overall, it was worth a try and we will return.

Crab claws! Were so good! They came out hot and fresh. The shrimp po-boy was good as well. I ordered beignets BUT i forgot to take a picture of them but they were good too. If you don't like a lot of sugar as for them to be lightly dusted

Location: This spot is located a few minutes from Chattahoochee Works which means it's near a lot of cool places and heavy traffic. Parking: Parking was free but seemed to be limited Service: The service was great, we didn't wait long for food drinks or to be waited on. It seems that everyone is on the same team there and works together to make your experience a great one. The restaurant is very casual so no need to make reservations. Ambience/Crowd: the ambience is warm and inviting and laid back. Food/drink : 7/10 for the food - I had the bourbon salmon with jambalaya which was delicious. My boyfriend had fried catfish and shrimp combo (he love's catfish and said it was great) we also had the alligator chili, Mac and cheese & beignets. The mac and cheese is not what I am used to but it was still good. Will I be back? YES! Mainly because of service and that jambalaya!

Service is great and the vibes are good too. Bit of a dive bar feel. The alligator tails are good. Probably the only place nearby to get some but everything, and I mean everything is underseasoned. The fried shrimp is cooked really well but you have to get seasoning on the side. The boiled crawfish have literally no seasoning in them. I think they boiled them like fine dining crab boils..... this is not that lol. Everything is too damn expensive too.

Food came out very quickly and everything tasted great except the fried crab claws. The flavor was there but it had more bone than meat. Hush puppies were phenomenal. The shrimp in the shrimp poboy was fresh. Beignets were great. Service was great. Bar was a bit loud but it's a Friday night so nothing unusual. Will be coming back.

We ordered take out a Big Easy Gumbo, a Shrimp Po-Boy and a few beignets. We got there before our food was ready so we sat at the bar and while we waited we order 2 hurricanes. It was Monday night so the football game was on and the bar was not full just a few people seating around the bar watching the game. The bartender was nice and as soon as our food was ready she told us so we were able to pay everything together. Unfortunately I was a disappointed with the gumbo. The last time I had gumbo was in New Orleans so I was expecting better, the Po-Boy wasn't bad and the beignets were ok.

The place was mehhhh The food was yuck I've had real Louisiana food and this imitation restaurant let me down. The liquor was strong

Great, clean, not too loud space. Friendly service and DELICIOUS food!!!! I recommend this place, for sure.

Friendly staff and great menu options. Try the Cajun bleu on the salad. Dog friendly on the patio.

Consistently good! Everything we get, every time we go is hot and seasoned well! Great for date night or just hanging out

So I have drove by so many times saying I was going to try this spot. I ordered online for pickup. $45.21 with 18% tip. I ordered the Fried combo platter with Cajun chicken fingers and fried catfish which came with Cajun fries, hush puppies and I chose the creole Mayo. I of course had to order a side of red beans and rice and gave the small order of voodoo wings a try. The red beans and rice were so plain. Needed salt so badly, no taste at all. Two bites and I tossed it. The voodoo wings were fried nicely but I could barely taste the sauce. It was rather weak. The combo platter was so disappointing. The catfish wasn't seasoned good at all and the Cajun chicken fingers were just as bad. The fries were mediocre and the hush puppies were tasteless. The creole Mayo was ok, wouldn't order it again though. After a miss on all three items I just can't give this place another try. Especially with the bland red beans and rice. I was really hoping the food was going to be really good, hate that I paid so much for disappointment.

Nice food, awesome crab fingers. Reasonably priced meals, you won't be disappointed. My go - to for mid week meals

We hit up this place because I currently live in the west and miss southern food! I have to say we were not disappointed. It's one of those hole-in-the-wall places. The sweet tea was great, not too sweet or unsweet. My party got the hush puppies, oysters, red beans and rice, fried catfish, gumbo and blackened salmon. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Definitely hit the spot for this southern girl. Only complaint was that service was a bit slow but otherwise definitely recommend!

The food was pretty good. I mean it's not exactly Cajun, the way minorities make it, but it'll do. The service was actually great, and was very attentive. It's a very casual atmosphere, nothing to dress up for.

Crawfish!!!!! Wednesdays this is my spot as a immediate go to. NOLA TIME!! Service is a plus.

I found oysters and great wings here. The wings were a little pricey, fried crispy with voodoo sauce and Cajun blue cheese on the side. Still a nice start to my Easter weekend. My waitress and everyone I met were great. Parking is a bit scarce, but they do have their own parking lot until Savi provisons opens next door. I'd bring laid back friends here for simple food. Thinking Cajun probably isn't the way to go despite the name. But you will find GOOD food. I'll be back again.

The most expensive shrimp po' boy around, a bit over $20 with tax but not including tip. The shrimp inside are excellent- tasty and perfectly breaded and fried. The bread lacks that crispy crunch on top that is integral to a good po' boy, a bit of limp lettuce and a tasteless tomato slice covered the shrimp. The accompanying "Cajun fries" were undercooked and hard. If you want gator bites or whatever, fine, just don't bother with the po' boy.

The best New Orleans food I've had outside of New Orleans! They have all the favorites! Red beans and rice, shrimp basket, mufaletta, gumbo, po-boys, beignets, you name it, they have it & it is authentic & delicious! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, the service is great. I've been here 3 times and loved everything I have ordered. I would give it all 5 stars. The reason for the -1 star (and the reason why I have not been there more) is that it is so good that it is ALWAYS full, which means you have to wait a while for the food. Now the last time, I ordered to go ahead of time and I still had to wait another 30 minutes when I got to the restaurant. So don't go too hungry, but go!

Great food and specials, even the burgers and sandwiches pack a little kick. Crawfish boils are great as well.

They were sooooo nice, but the food was soooooo unseasoned and disappointing. Dry alligator bites, tasteless fries, bland shrimp and the jambalaya was mushy. Literally the two stars are just because they were nice people.

Second time coming the first time I came alone for a late lunch to satisfy my Cajun cravings being from Louisiana I found this place on Yelp searching for beignets in Atlanta. Came in today and brought my family visiting from out of town. Tatiana was our server she was so sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. We sat 5 adults and one baby plenty space at the outdoor seating. For appetizer we got the Cajun queso really good with a slight spicy kick The hurricanes were tasty not as strong as the ones in New Orleans but still really good. I had the half alligator poboy and half gumbo. Really really good love gator. Two orders of beignets! Everyone loved the food and can't wait to come back. This little gem does not disappoint

Just left this restaurant...we went because my husband was craving alligator bites which we have eaten here before. Well either the food was not cleaned good, prepared well enough or someone cooking was doing something unsanitary because my husband threw up no sooner than we got home (20 min drive)...he dis that at least 4 times!!. Food poisoning is nothing to play with and needless to say we will not be back anytime soon...

My mom use to work at this location in the kitchen and used to always talk about how nice her boss was. Aside from the boss, I went to dine in with my sister last night and I ordered the Bourbon Salmon Salad with spicy ranch sauce (yummy) + Lemonade cocktail (wasn't watered down) , & my sister ordered the Shrimp Basket. They are a bit understaff as well so it can tough juggling multiple clients at once. Overall we had a good experience! Waiter got our drink orders ASAP, she came back and took our food orders, food came out shortly after, and she checked back on us here and there. Only leaving 4 stars because my sister inquired about applying, waitress said she'd get her an application and never came back so We ended up leaving.

Tried this spot because I really wanted some Oysters. We sat outside on the patio and it was nice you can seat yourself. The oysters only are served fried so I was a little disappointed but they were good. The food was served nice and hot. On Sat they have $7 drink specials. They have TVs to be able to watch the game, but the parking lot is small if it is a big game on tv or if they ever have a huge crowd. If I am in the area again I would stop by. The Voodoo sauce on the shrimp was tasty and had some kick to it. Also the Queso Dip was spicy as well and delicious.

(Order placed with DoorDash): I ordered the red beans and rice w/ andouille sausage. Just needed a pinch or two of salt and pepper. The garlic toast was PERFECT!! the only complaint was the sausage. It seems raw inside, and was place on the griddle just to brown the outside. Thinking about coming ordering the shrimp next time.

I struggled with this. My waitress was not all there. She was a little sluggish. It was semi- crowded two waitress's worked the indoors and outdoor set up. The one that worked my area was not all there she was a little preoccupied I guess. No real sense of humor for a good laugh Alesia on the other hand the other waitress was assume! Gave her a compliment on her service abilities the girl would not stay still working the entire section like she had the Owners interest! Nuff said about that- the food was ok had the fried catfish- but the reviews for other dishes limited my experience from ordering anything authentic from New Orleans. - I'm Ken to that location and will not take chances on fake food or fake people. The waitress that served me seemed to pick up speed when it came time to pick up the check.. But Alesia. - she was the real Saint! For real dough

Stopped here after an appt in the city. I sat at bar and enjoyed a blueberry lemonade with vodka....my new fav drink! Crab claws were on point. I will return...

Our favorite authentic Cajun location. Kinda small but worth the wait every time. Our favorite is the fried shrimp. You can't go wrong though!

Great food. Friendly staff who treat customers well. Best cajun food I've had in Atlanta. Real authentic New Orleans cuisine. Why you still reading this huh? Go! Now!

I ordered a shrimp basket last week. There was a hair in the food, I sent an email with a picture and called. No response. I would have preferred speaking to someone instead of posting this but the fact that no one reached out speaks volumes about the establishment.

First time in this gem. We were there pretty early in the day so the bartender doubled as our server. The fried oysters and crab claws were fantastic. Absolutely loved the cocktail sauce that accompanied them. Almost sure it was homemade. I only gave 4 stars because I was disappointed in the jambalaya. It lacked flavor and the rice was mushy as if it sat in water too long. The French quarter drink from the bar is worth mentioning but the star was the Blueberry Lemonade vodka cocktail. Would love to visit this dive bar in the evening hours. Will be doing so sooner rather than later.

Love the chill easy vibe. Not NOLA hospitality but the food is good and well priced. Crawfish boil Wednesday's during season. And a safe place to watch Saints games in Atlanta

I headed to Big Easy Grille because they have a Crawfish boil on Wednesday when it's the season and we wanted to try something new and affordable. Big Easy is a local bar and restaurant with a small parking area in front. They have an outdoor covered patio that is seat yourself. Inside the bar seems to be the main focus with booths and tables around. It is not a large place. I anticipated ordering a boil so it would have sausage and corn but on the day we went it was just crawfish by the pound. We ordered crawfish and beer and one friend ordered the crawfish etouffee. I ordered the andouille mac and cheese since the crawfish did not come with anything. Unfortunately my friend was not really impressed with the etouffee and I was not with the mac and cheese. However the crawfish was wonderfully seasoned that both me and my friend ended up ordering two pounds each. Overall we came for the crawfish and were happy with it. They have a decent selection of craft beer which is a plus for me as a craft beer drinker. Service was pleasant. I would say it's good spot to go for the daily specials and drinks.

I'm wheelchair bound and my wife took me across town to eat here because she heard the food was good. Knowing I love Cajun cuisine we arrived at 8 : 30. The website and restaurant information said they closed at 9. The outside server watched me unload from my van and allowed me to come inside before telling me that they were closed. I've ALS and it requires me to go through great effort to do anything,. If they would have allowed me to order to go, I would have been satisfied but we couldn't do that either.

Very good food and the best beignets in Atlanta! I kept driving back and forth in front of the restaurant and decided to stop in. I am so glad that I did! The portions were generous, everything tasty, and the beignets were incredible! The food is available via the various delivery services but not to our home. I will be back!

I'm no picky eater... I just don't eat trash. 1st and last visit at 4pm on a Sunday and they were out of oysters so I ordered a bowl of gumbo. Bad decision... the rue was burned and anyone who understands cooking gumbo knows the importance of the first step which is the rue. I took 2 tastes and then had my fiancé confirm... thinking maybe it's me. Naw it was horrible and they should be ashamed to serve that garbage. But the issue didn't end there. I told the waitress the rue was burned and I didn't want it. She removed the full bowl of gumbo from our table and threw it away. Can you believe she left the gumbo on our check? We had to ask her to remove it. Skip this place. If you want great Cajun food try Louisiana Bistreaux instead.

Came a couple of times, it is my to-go place for fried food when living in the neighborhood. Cajun Oyster (4/5): I order it every single time - the dipping and cajun seasoning are flavorful, and oysters maintain the creamy texture. Love it. Fried/Grilled Crawfish (2.5/5): frying and grilling make crawfish pathetically small if the crawfish themselves are not big enough. They better be boiled... Cajun Fries (3/5): comes with the basket. They aren't bad, but they are just normal fries - cannot taste cajun seasoning in them. Fried Catfish (3.5/5) Fried/Grilled shrimp (3/5): not much to comment on these two. Cocktails come in big glass, several good choices for ladies available. Servers are always cheerful.

The only place I come to this for crab claws. The service is responsive and the prices are always in line with the market. Wish you were closer

I visited the restaurant on 12-1 and spent over 80 for lunch for my family and this is what I received. I contacted the restaurant thy said that they would replace the order. When I went to get my replacement order today needless to say they had amnesia and refused to replace my order as promised per the owner Tim who initially said that they would replace the order. I drove over 30 miles one way to the restaurant because my daughter was so excited to try the food and this is what I got for my money.

The fried crab claws was really good ! 10/10 but the red beans and rice is why this review has 3/5 stars. The red beans and rice was soo bland I asked the server for Cajun seasoning and that wasn't enough for the food to taste better. It's just a disgrace because I'm from New Orleans and making red beans and Rice isn't a difficult task.

Big Easy Grille is a Cajun restaurant and bar located on the west side of town. It's a neighborhood hangout. The restaurant has many TVs and carries several sports stations (aside from the main ones like ESPN), so it works well as a sports bar. There's also an outdoor patio. It's a small place, often busy and sometimes crowded. It's located next door to Verde Taqueria, which was the old Fox & Hounds space. Big Easy's parking lot is small and most of times, full. Parking can be a pain during peak times. Other parking spots can be found along Collier. If parking on the street, be careful crossing. Big Easy Grille is named after the city of New Orleans' nickname, "The Big Easy." The business is reminiscent of many of the small bars and restaurants found in NOLA's French Quarter or along Bourbon Street. So I guess you could say it's just another bar, except it's decorated in all things New Orleans and Louisiana such as a fleur-de-lis on the wall (most people recognize it as the Saints logo) and LSU paraphernalia. I've found the Cajun and Creole food here to be pretty good. Some dishes are better than others. They serve just about everything you'd find in southern Louisiana including alligator, catfish, shrimp, crawfish, crab, fried oysters, and andouille sausage. There's gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, etouffee, po-boy sandwiches, and even beignets. The menu is reasonably priced with most entrees each $12 or less. I recommend visiting for their Sunday New Orleans Brunch (Sundays, 12 to 3). The oyster po-boy is delicious. It consists of flash-fried Gulf oysters, creole mayo, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomato inside French bread with a tiny slice of lemon on the side. The baguette is soft and appetizing. What makes this sandwich are the fresh, sometimes plump Gulf oysters and the addicting creole mayo. It's a very good and filling sandwich, one that I recommend. The chicken and sausage gumbo is also very good. The bowl is served near piping hot and is filled with chunks of chicken, andouille sausage, rice, and assorted vegetables. It's tasty, hearty, and satisfying. If you're in the mood for soup, definitely try the gumbo. Lots of flavor. You can get a small cup or a bowl. The jambalaya is OK. Not my favorite, but not bad either. It consists of andouille sausage, chicken, vegetables, and red peppers blended with white rice. It's a little dry and bland compared to the other dishes. I'd probably steer towards a different side like the Cajun fries or etouffee. If you come for brunch, order the alligator omelet. It consists of a two-egg omelet stuffed with alligator sausage, mushroom, and onion. It's topped with shredded cheese. The portion size is generous and the filling is savory. I like to eat the omelet with hot sauce. Hot sauces available at each table include Trappey's Louisiana Hot Sauce (one I used to eat growing up) and the thicker Bayou Pecker Powder. They both go great with eggs. The omelet comes with a piece of plain toast and a side, fresh fruit or cheese grits. I've tried both. The fruit consists of a small bowl of sliced cantaloupe, strawberries, and blueberries. They are indeed fresh, ripe, and sweet. The cheese grits consist of a small bowl of plain grits topped with shredded cheese, the same cheese that is used on top of the omelets. Mix the cheese into the grits while the grits are still hot. It's not bad. Service is good. Food comes out from the kitchen relatively quick and the servers are polite and attentive. Aside from the parking and jambalaya, I think Big Easy Grille is a solid neighborhood joint and a good place to get your Cajun and Creole fix. I give them 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

As someone who lived in New Orleans for four years if you need a really good jambalaya look no further. Credits do

Very delicious. The food is pricey for the amount given. I ordered the crab claws and I paid almost $16 for this small box!

I grew up in this area but never been here until last weekend!! I was very impressed. The food was so fresh, seasoned well and just all around GREAT. Service was awesome as well. I'll be back!!

I've been here twice and the food smacked both times! Great food and very friendly vibes!
