Creole 2 Geaux

Amazing place! Tried the fish po boy, deluxe shrimp bowl with sausage and chicken. Jerk chicken egg roll was good and the fried okra is a timeless classic. Will definitely come back with more paying and hungry customers 😄

This place deserves every dang star that it has. Chef Romaine put his FOOT in this food!! (that means it was really good lol) I had the soul roll and deluxe bowl. So much flavor on every bite! The gravy, the juicy chicken, the perfect ratio of everything in the roll! I'm only in town for a few days and I might have to come back for more 😋 It's also a great portion for the price. Love that I have leftovers for later.

Mmmmm I never had a shrimp po boy before this but I’m glad my first one was here. And they weren’t stingy with the shrimp either. And the fries were soooo seasoned and yummy, as well as the jerk chicken egg roll 😋😋😋😋😋 perfect amount of spice and the sauces on the side were good too. Fried okra 👌🏽🤌🏽👌🏽 and I don’t even like okra. Next time I’ll have to try a bowl

Absolutely amazing in every way. Them ladies were so friendly. I love places like this. Southern Alabama born Florida raised. I worked in the oil fields 9 years and really got to know the cuisine. GO GET YOU SOME. e-touf-ee smothered catfish is amazing.

I had an extremely pleasant experience with Diva (Max), Cardo and Ali. They were friendly and personable! They appeared to be enjoying their work and Happy! Diva had me so happy about her Customer Experience being great, that she answered any questions and offered suggestions. My food was amazing and the service was perfect.

TRY THIS PLACE!!! Stopped in on Saturday 4/19/25 after hearing about this place on Tiktok. I was very pleased. The deluxe bowl with spicy rice did not disappoint! It was full of flavor. If you love extreme spice they also have a hot sauce bar with tons of options to kick up the spice level. The r&b music playing added a very nice ambiance. The place was very chill, and clean. The guy who took the order was nice and he even delivered our meals to us. I have no complaints. My only recommendation would be keeping the restroom tidy it just needed a touch up. Overall 10/10 and I will be returning for brunch. Im excited for that catfish and grits!

I got the chicken creole bowl with spicy rice and a buffalo chicken egg roll. The food is just okay. I’m shocked but it all completely lacked flavor and spiciness all throughout. I love creole food so much and thought I’d give this place a try and I’m really disappointed. It’s okay. It’s edible and I’ll probably try it again at some point, but I’ll definitely be exploring other dishes besides this one. Egg roll tasted mostly like cream cheese. Best part was the spicy rice and even that was not the best.

Stopped in before the hockey game and had a Shrimp Po Boy dressed. Definitely the best I've had since living in NOLA. Great bread and perfectly cooked and generous amount of shrimp. The fries had some nice Cajun seasoning that I liked bc it wasn't salty. The folks working there were very friendly and were passionate about delivering a good experience. The rest of the menu looked great too. We recommend for sure and will be back!

Everything! Their jambalaya, bourbon chicken, fried okra, bread pudding.... and more - TWO words to describe it all, SCRUMPTIOUS and DEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS! Ran into the owner at a food hall - asked about their jambalaya for my husband who thinks the world of the dish and is always disappointed when trying the dish in locations outside of New Orleans. This one blew his mind and the owner made it just for him. A must visit for anyone who loves their Cajun dishes and missing New Orleans something major. Guy Fieri needs to do an episode here!

Fast food Creole. The food was tasty, service quick. Not too much seating, but a lot of their business is takeout. Will keep Creole 2 Geaux in mind when going to events at Nationwide Arena.

Shrimp Po boy was fresh and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if in the Columbus area

Friendly staff, ok ramen, try something else. I got the ramen, it's like a poor version of japanese ramen. Hard boiled egg, with stringy tough meat, in an ok broth, with average noodles. I had hoped for something more unique like say gumbo on noodles or something but it was basically just a poor version of japanese ramen. Sad cuz the chef was really excited too. Try something else on the menu, I am sure they must be good cuz there was a ton of ppl that came in and got other stuff while we were there.

We stopped in here as we were passing by town. The owner took our order and gave us her opinion of her favorite dishes. And she was spot on! We had the drunken chicken and gumbo. The food was sooo delicious and filling. We had great customer service and really felt cared for.

Sure, here's the updated version with your addition: --- I needed a quick bite for lunch and decided to try their red beans and rice. Parking was on a grab-and-go basis but can be tricky. Super casual. The price is decent. They offer selections that aren't on the menu. I would've definitely gotten the ramen bowl I saw someone with, but I'd already ordered. I asked the cashier, who was super nice and helpful, to find out. They had a few bar selections but do offer spiked slushies. I didn't partake, but they have three options. I wanted to LOVE the red beans and rice, but to my disappointment, the rice was hard!! UGH. It was quick service, but I wish I had a sweet cornbread to go with it. I couldn't get through the meal anyway. I think I'd try them again, but I wasted my $10, and now I'm still hungry. --- If you need any more changes, feel free to ask!

I can't say anything bad about the food. It was good. But I would suggest that everyone check order before you leave. They forgot something of mine. I called and n was told it be taken care of. I heard nothing since. Like I said food is good but I won't go back just a thing I got. Mess up once I'm good.

I've been wanting to try this Arena District location, so i beat the weekday lunch rush and arrived at 11:00. It's smart of them to have an Express Lunch Menu, and I was in-and-out in about 5 minutes. Built into that was my interaction with the cashier in which she nicely explained items on the menu. I ordered the jambalaya mac and cheese, which was a very hot and creamy (but mild tasting) pasta/cheese mixture with chicken and andouille sausage. The taste skewed more towards 'jambalaya' due to the spice and overall flavor of the andouille sausage, but overall it was a worthwhile endeavor, especially given the nice portions. I was also able to try the bourbon chicken served over spicy rice. The combo bursts with tangy flavor, but some might prefer it with plain rice. I liked the spicy rice more than my guest. This experience has earned another visit as I'm curious to try their po boys w/fries.

Stopped by before a concert at Nationwide on a Friday night. This location had been open about a month we were told. As someone who lived in the South for a few years, I miss creole and southern food so this was an exciting find! I ordered the Deluxe Creole bowl with spicy rice. On top of the spicy rice was their sauce, shrimp, chicken, and sausage. The flavor was amazing, a bit of heat but in a flavorful way. The portion was large, I took half of it home for dinner the next day (and it reheated well). I also ordered fried okra which came with a dipping sauce. There was good flavor in the breading of the okra. The staff were very attentive and happy to give recommendations or describe dishes. They mentioned just obtaining their liquor license so their bar area will open soon. I will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes!

Walked up to the North Market and it was a line filled mad house. Doubled back a few blocks to this little Cajun ditty and SO glad I did! First of all, the guy working the register was beyond friendly. He was informative and attentive. A bit of a refreshing change from the cold shoulder I'm used to getting in New England lol after exchanging pleasantries and ordering he cordially gave me a free $8 dessert. Supreme! The seating is ample and the environment is thoroughly Cajun/creole in nature. Just looking at the food I knew it was going to be great. Made fresh as you order and properly seasoned. Great portions! I enjoyed every part of this place and thoroughly loved the food. Nice kick on the blackened chicken too! Enjoy those Caribbean flavors! Bon appetite

I've seen this place a few times while walking around downtown and have never thought about stepping in and ordering food as I am not very familiar with this type of cuisine. Well today they were stationed in the lobby of the building I work in and they were offering a few different options, but I didn't want the same old same old (bourbon chicken which I'm sure without a doubt, is very good). As I stood there talking to them trying to decide what to order. They were very polite and helpful and offered me to do half the Chicken Creole and half of the Zulu bowl or really whatever combination I wanted. I gotta say I should have stopped in to get food from this place much earlier! Both of these bowls were so delicious and I can't wait to try their other dishes. Luckily their store front is a quick walk from work!

Delicious food, large portions and excellent service. Highly recommended. Staff are very friendly.

I judge how tasty food is based on my desire to eat the leftovers the next day. I've visited this amazing establishment 3 times, and each time was excited to enjoy it again the next day. Expect ample portions (hence the leftovers), and delicious, bold flavors with the right amount of spice. The Owner and her staff were extremely welcoming and friendly each time I stepped through their doors. Another bonus is that they are setup for online ordering, so it's convenient to place my order during a quick lunch or before I leave downtown to head home from work. 5 stars and highly recommended!

The food was delicious with generous portions. The service was excellent. We'll be back for sure!

Ready for authentic delicious creole and the most friendly people? Get here now! If you are staying in the Hilton or Hyatt, or just attending an event in the Greater Columbus Convention Center, just walk out past the Starbucks, cross the street, and follow the sidewalk down the right side of the Nationwide building and you'll be there in less than 2 min. I took a recommendation from one of the owners and tried the lux-bowl with spicy rice. When I sat down to eat, I opened the absolutely loaded container to see tons of protein, veggies, and some sauce. Got a 1/4 through it when I remembered the rice and started to dig down. Pow! More flavor and spice! Love it! I love spicy food and this was hitting! If you can't take the heat, stick with the white rice. Saved half and heated it up later and mixed it well this time. Eaten mixed it's much more like a traditional creole jambalaya. Still great as leftovers. The SECOND DAY (yes, a 2nd day!) I was lucky enough to catch on Mother's Day brunch and the Crawfish Etouffee. The other owner was happy to see me back and asked if I liked savory grits. I've had others in the past, but I hate to say yes to all grits because there is a spectrum from gag to amazing. She gave me a sample and one bite in and I was all for 'em. They handed me this delicious bowl of crawfish etouffee over savory grits that was full of shrimp, crawfish, and a great ratio of etouffee and grits. Bangin' lunch! Lots of food for the money and worth every penny. I only wished I worked in the area more often because these people are immediate friends and make excellent food. My only recommendation would be to make the crawfish etouffee exclusively crawfish and to include a great garlic bread.

Janvier and her crew are absolutely amazing. Please stop down and check out this new place. They opened today and their food was so delicious. We had the jambalaya mac-n-cheese, the beef yakamein, and chicken creole bowl. The portions were amazing, food was hot and the service was like being served by a family member. The restaurant was super clean and everything was so well presented. We could hear customers asking questions about menu items and the staff members were super pleasant and knowledgeable about the food items. We recommend you try this place and we will continue to go back.

Went here on my lunch break. Food is absolutely incredible and the guys working were super helpful and nice. Had my food in under a minute after I ordered. HIGHLY recommend this place !

I grew up in the South and I'm pretty picking about my southern cooking. I thought the food was good and the portions were really big. More than we could eat.

Been here 3 times everything I've had has been awesome! Bourbon chicken, creole chicken bowl, and chicken po boy

Ordered bourbon chicken for delivery. There was a good amount of food and the flavor was good. I requested extra sauce because of reviews saying the sauce was light and I kind of wish I hadn't. It isn't the sticky type of bourbon sauce that I expected, it was much sweeter. Overall I'd go there again.
