FOOD
Really good and creative enough to be intriguing without being bizarre. I had the breakfast burrito (sounds boring, but it wasn't), the freshness and combo of verde sauce and chorizo hit that proverbial spot for me. I was interested in the Bananas Foster and the Red Velvet Elvis pancakes, but it was a toss-up between the burrito or the Beignet BLT. I loved it, but next time I will go for the decadent BBLT, because why not? Plus, it looks so scrumptious.
I ordered some cookies to go, so good and creative that I came back to load up my carry-on bag for wifey to share, good choice. The doberge cake was calling my name, so pretty, but too pricey.
SERVICE
Folks were adequately friendly, but it seemed they didn't get quite enough sleep the night before, reminds me of when I was 25. It took a few more minutes than I expected for my breakfast, but it was well worth it. I only got one coffee refill, because the tables became increasingly full, while the server was... slightly overwhelmed.
AMBIENCE
Parking was challenging, until i figured out that the entire building was Debbie. Felt like traditional old time New Orleans style parking.
The building is clean, though the entrance door is a bit ramshackle, 1950's vintage, not maintained as well as it could be.
When I returned for my second batch of cookies, there was inly one staffer in the front of the house, though I'm sure more were in the back, baking. The server probably fit in the category of gender fluid, not surprising considering the signage posted. I'm down with that, but if it makes you uncomfortable, you may wish to have dinner at Gendusa's a few blocks away where the NASCAR races on Fox Sports dominates the dining room, with photos of Italian gangsters adorn the walls. Different strokes and all.
All in all, I will go out of my way to visit Debbie on the Levee next time I visit.
