Cute neighborhood spot for brunch or lunch. The boudin egg rolls were interesting with the cream cheese and pepper jelly (more sweet than spicy). Gumbo was dark and smoky with plenty of meats! The highlight for me was the club sandwich which is MASSSIVE. Piled high and not shy, it was enough to share for two people. I upgraded to the pimento mac and cheese, which were ok but nothing of point. I recommend sticking to the fries for the crunch with the club. My partner got the bleu shroom burger and it was just the right amount of funk and saltiness. I'll definitely come back for my own burger!

Update!! I went back to Brown Butter a couple of days ago and everything was delicious. Love the atmosphere. Our waitress Savannah was excellent! My boyfriend and I went a little while ago today. It was great. Great food and great service. Keep up the good work!

I had a great experience here. I came for a friend’s birthday, who loved them since their old location in Mid-City, and we were a very large group but the restaurant was very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their food, and our server was great! I ordered the Korean BBQ burger, and although I wished it had more sauce, it was still pretty delicious. The debris fries and the fried pickles were also delicious! There was a lot of parking because we went on a Sunday, when all the surrounding parking is free.

Absolutely stellar experience. We went on a Sunday night around 7pm, easily seated outside. We started with the fried pickles. Perfectly lightly fried with fresh dill sprinkled on top. It was heavenly. For dinner, I had the blue cheese and shroom burger add bacon with truffle fries. The burger was perfectly cooked, the dong phong bun was sweet and soft. The blue cheese and mushrooms complimented the burger wonderfully without overpowering it. The fries were crispy and delicious. I highly recommend upgrading from garlic fries to truffle fries. We split a creme Brule for dessert and it was a hit. The staff was all polite and approachable. They just knocked it out of the park. It's a great addition to Old Gretna and I can't wait to get back.

Sophia (waitress with a beautiful personality and smile), told me to get the chicken sandwich because it is delicious and she was absolutely right. Oh my goodness. Popeyes better look out. Brown Butter Depot now has my favorite chicken sandwich.

Great burgers! For starters we had salty, salty, salty gumbo. I split the brunch burger with a friend and we enjoyed the surprise flavors from the jelly and quickly became addicted to the fries with garlic dip. I finished off with a generous side salad of fresh ingrediants. Their outside seating looks to be a great place to sit and visit with friends in the summer although it was a little chilly for me to test in late December.

It was nice and quiet and not too crowded, my wife ordered the polar expresso and said it was delicious, I started with the crawfish nachos, it was huge and delicious had to keep myself from eating it all. My wife had the Nashville hot sandwiche and said it was amazing I had the smash burger it was amazing as well. Im definitely coming back

This place is the best! Absolutely delicious food and a great brunch option on the Westbank. They also have great happy hour deals. Service is quick and friendly. The patio is dog friendly. The inside is adorable and has the feel of a bougie bar where you can watch the game. The bartender/server Jessie is the absolute sweetest and so friendly and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and affordable and food is out of this world! I would definitely recommend that you try out Brown Butter!

I came for the Brussel Sprouts!! They are tangy, warm little nugs of crunchiness from the flash fry. If you love a little umami order a side of pepper jelly and you get the sweet heat alternating with the salty tang. The flavor will smack you and you keep coming back for another bite. I also enjoyed their burger with fries and garlic aioli. Burger cooked to a perfect mid-well temp just the way I like it--dressed, extra pickles no onions for me!! My waiter Dylan was attentive and a whole vibe himself! Come enjoy happy hour apps and beverages inside or outside; this location on Gretna's square is a wonderful stop after a long day of work. You will leave happy with a late night snack or lunch for tomorrow!!

I placed a to-go order so this review is only about the food, although this new Old Gretna location did look really great inside. I LOVED the food tonight. I got the blue cheese burger that was so good that Brown Butter Depot will be my new go-to place for a burger)! The boudin egg rolls were amazing!!! The pimento mac & cheese was creamy and rich, with crumbs on top for a nice crunch. My hubby ordered the crab mac & cheese, and he didn't want to share even a bite! This is the type of place i would take friends visiting from out of town to eat. Get them away from the overpriced tourist traps for some really great burgers and New Orleans-style apps. it's wonderful to have a fantastic, affordable restaurant on the Westbank. I hope the community comes out to try the newly-reopened BBD (from Mid-City) because, like me, they will be back!

Nice spot in a good part of old Gretna near the river. Gumbo was good, nice and Smokey. Nashville hot chicken was well, hot, but very good. Garlic fries were great!

Brown Butter is in the house. Oh baby, when the algorithm works. Saw a post that BB was back in a new place. I ran to the Insta page, I scoured their website and made reservations immediately. Our Sunday Funday of yard work (nope, not fun) was duly rewarded with dinner out. Parking proved to be super easy. While the hostess never asked about a reservation, we were seated promptly. Had my boy look over the burgers, while I ordered a beer for my burger beer combo and the mussels to start. Wow! definitely a big enough portion for a main, the mussels were delicious and my son eagerly sopped up the mussel liquor with the fries. Next we ordered The Box Car with cheese and bacon (I was told I could order any specialty burger dressed) and the Bleu Shroom. Our burgers were BIG and juicy and just as I remembered them. Another table heard us talking and commented that they too were long time fans. In all the madness, I forgot to take pics in my over zealousness to devour my selection. We left sooooo full, so happy and even crammed an entire serving of fries into our to go box. Brown Butter, welcome to the WestBank, I'm so happy you found a new home.

Quaint little spot in an old house with a nice menu and good service. The Brussels sprouts are refreshingly simple - just flash fried with a drizzle of lemon and no fancy sauce or dressing. The BB Crispy Chicken salad has a really good pecan crust on the chicken that is somehow "laquered" on without being too sweet. Really good. And the Brunch Burger comes with a beautiful sunny side up egg, and the brisket/short rib ground beef mixture is very good. My only complaint is the garlic fries. I don't hate garlic, but I do hate the popularity it has now and the way it is applied so it overpowers everything else (and leaves a burning sensation in my mouth). But apparently I'm the only one. Everyone else is mad for garlic. I just want regular fries please.

So glad they have a new location! There's a large patio with outdoor seating. The weather was nice so outside was packed. Inside was very empty. I'm sure that'll change once the heat kicks up. Anyway, I went inadvertently close to closing time. However, we were promptly seated. Order the brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Very good! Loved those Brussels I also had the smash burger. Comes with 2 patties and bacon jam. I wish there was more bacon jam on the burger. However, the meat and bun were so good. They did have an apple cinnamon bread pudding on the menu but I didn't order it as I wanted to get out of their hair quickly since it was not closing time. So glad they're back. I'll definitely return

It makes my tummy and my heart so happy to see Brown Butter back and just as good as I remember. I love the new location in Old Gretna by the old train depot. I got the Brunch Burger which is a 1/2 lb brisket and short rib blend with a fried egg, smoked bacon onion jam, melted brie and arugula served on a Dong Phuong brioch bun with garlic fries and garlic aioli. Server was great. Love the neighborhood vibe and the outdoor seating. It makes me wish I lived in Old Gretna even more.

Our server was great, he brought out the fly fan without asking. While the runner with red hair was less than warm. Typical shotgun Nola restaurant small inside with a good patio. The food was a bust. We got the breakfast burger and BB Chicken Salad. The standard fries are "garlic" fries. The fries came out room temp and they might just be better doing seasoned fries. The salad was basic but the chicken was delicious.

Oh boy..... I have dined here three times and the service has gotten progressively worse with long waits once you are seated and no drink refills. My last visit had me waiting 15 minutes just to pay my bill....I told the waitress that I am just trying to pay. Is it new restaurant curse? Managers/owners please help! BTW, the wings are fantastic (5 stars), maybe I'll just do takeout next time. 3 stars is not a bad review, some improvements are needed.

This was my first time at the Gretna location. I've been a fan since the Midcity location. The burgers have always been my favorite, so I had to grab one. My usual was always the Pimento Cheese Burger, but I decided to go for the Korean BBQ Burger. It was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The kimchi is a VERY nice touch. And the fries were hot and super crunchy. I love my fries crunchy! I'll be back!

My wife and I went to Brown Butter Depot for the first time recently. And it was excellent. Our server Dale was awesome and friendly. Even let my wife use his new jacket because she was cold. We got the boudin egg rolls with the homemade pepper jelly and cream cheese and they were amazing. I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint at all. My wife got the smash burger which was outstanding. Looking forward to going back to try something new. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. Next time I will for sure.

This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! The perfect small restaurant that fits quaintly within the old town Gretna vibe. I enjoyed the Barbecuban sandwich while my forever future enjoyed the Smash burger; both entrees complemented with their crispy, garlic, Parmesan fries and garlic aioli on the side. The wait staff all had friendly, yet professional demeanors. We especially loved the upbeat, back and forth banter/conversations with the wait staff. Jessie demonstrates a high level of customer service that makes you feel more like a friend than a customer. I foresee that Brown Butter Deport will be a staple in our future dining out experiences.

Dirty utensils. I understand the Nashville hot chicken is supposed to be spicy, but it still needs to be edible and not swimming in a plate of grease.

The food, the ambiance and the service is top notch!!!! So glad they came back and to Gretna! Owners are incredibly nice and make sure everything runs smoothly. The food is just phenomenal!!! Everything on the menu is just 10/10. Definitely recommend for a casual lunch or dinner date!

I came in for a quick lunch from Jury Duty. From the jump, I want to say the staff were really nice. Sophia(bartender) check on my order alittle after 10-15 minutes. Which she walked out with it on her way back. 10/10 service I tried something different and ordered a Blue Cheese Shroom Burger and garlic fries. I was offered ketchup and mayo before the food came out. Let's say this, this was the first time I ate a burger without any condiments. So that gives you an ideas on how I enjoyed it. 10/10 food I would definitely be back to try their other burgers.

The food was good! Sandwich was huge! They don't have sweet tea so that's sad. Our waitress was nice but at some points she was like moving in slow motion. I hope she's okay. The place was clean and well lit. If it was cooler outside we would've sat outside. Very nice patio

Server was nice but service was very slow. There's not enough tables to take 10 minutes to have someone wait on you. Fried pickles were good. Gumbo is smokey but ok. Chicken salad sandwich was bland. Collard greens were good. Debris fries were good. Will probably come back after they have been open for a little while.

Brown Butter Depot is an amazing spot. The fried pickles and burgers are the best! Owners are wonderful and really care about their patrons and business.

Holy buckets! What an amazing find this was. We had the barbacuban sandwich and the smash burger which were both so delicious! BUT, the brussel sprouts were amazing! Cocktails were perfect. Service was impeccable. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Will definitely be back!

The food was good. It was Monday so I had red beans and friend had a burger that he said was tasty. And host server Sophia's happy cheerful demeanor made it all the better. She deserves a raise. And the parking is handy across the street which is no small thing in this town.

First time trying out this place since it was Gretna Depot. Very impressed! My husband and I shared the pork rinds with ranch for an appetizer and the crunch on the pork rinds and the flavor of the ranch was so so good! My husband was very pleased with his smash burger and garlic fries, as I was very happy with the Bbcuban. The garlic fries that came with both of our meals had this garlic aioli.. both were outstanding. Can't want to tell family and friends about our experience! We can't wait to come back and try more things!

We had the $23 deal where you get a burger with fries and 2 beer ontap. The food was delicious and the Hollyroller Ipa was very refreshing. Nothing to complain about the service, very friendly and knowledgeable. He made us feel welcome. I like sitting outside during the "cooler days in spring". Very enjoyable visit.

Thanks for a delicious dinner! We love the new location and hanging out on the patio. Highly recommend the fried pickles, smash burger and the salad with the crunchy chicken. We will be back for sure!

Everything we ordered was delicious! We had the fried pickles, gumbo, wings, and Korean burger. The creme brulee and chocolate grilled cheese were a great way to finish up our meal. The service was excellent! We are looking forward to going back and trying other items on the menu!

The food and service at this new Gretna gem was impeccable. Best burger I have ever had! I couldn't decide what to order because everything on the menu looked good, but zero regrets on my choice. The drinks on point the and patio was a plus. Good price point and value too.
