Debbie on the Levee

Well not only is this place so quaint and perfect but the food was amazing the atmosphere was calm and very nice not too loud not too quiet my cousin asked if they could put the game on and they did and the best part of our trip was ARI!!!!!!!! She an amazing addition to your team! She was kind, compassionate, genuine, professional, respectful, and hilarious!!!!! She’s amazing Deb you have a great team and everything is set up so so adorably and the homemade biscuits neeeeed recipes nowwwwww lol thank you for having us!!!!

Debbie on the Levee is a hidden gem — cozy atmosphere, great food, and friendly service. Our server was still in training, but the service was smooth and welcoming. We ordered a latte, house coffee, lemon milkshake, burger slider, and the grilled Caprese. The burger slider featured a juicy, flavorful Angus beef patty — you can tell it’s homemade with care. The grilled Caprese was beautifully toasted and layered with fresh tomato, basil, melted cheese, drizzled with pesto sauce and finished with a balsamic glaze — light yet full of flavor. The lemon milkshake was a standout — creamy and refreshing, with a nice hint of lemon zest that makes it pop. Food was wonderful overall, and there’s definitely more on the menu we’re looking forward to trying. Highly recommend checking this place out!

This charming little spot didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious, every bite was worth it. The coffee was amazing, and the service was the best. We had to wait a little long to get our food, but it was definitely worth it. We’ll definitely try it again. ❤️👏👏👏

What a wonderful little gem in the middle of Kenner on the outskirts of New Orleans. We have now been here several times and just love the food here. The establishment is clean and comfortable. The staff is just great. It really makes the difference in the dining experience. They have great drinks, good coffee and the food portions are always large. We always have a box of food to take home with us. The muffins are also really good. Love the banana nut muffins. Keep in mind that EVERYTHING is cooked to order so during peak times there can be a long wait for food to come out. If you are in a hurry call ahead to see what the wait times might be just to be sure but I can tell you we've waited at times and the food is worth it. Just have a drink and enjoy your company. So a shout out to Chuck and his team for bringing this gem of a place to Kenner. We will be back again and again. Oh and to note they DO NOT add an automatic tip to any check. Stop in and tell em Bart sent ya. :)

One of the best breakfast spots we went to in New Orleans, great service, great food, small diner but definitely worth going Our server Ivy was amazing 😍

Listen I never leave reviews. The service and food were so good I felt I HAD to leave a review. The atmosphere is refreshing and creative. It gets crowded when busy but it doesn't feel like it. The staff are kind and look diverse and cool. The lady with the dreads is very helpful and nice. There is a tall gentleman there aswell who is on point with service and communication. I really appreciate this place. The food was absolutely delicious and presentation was beautiful.

The club sandwich was one of the best I have ever had, hands down. I was very impressed by the whole meal, but that stood out as a sandwich. Definitely recommended the wedding cake - melts in your mouth delicious. The beignets were fluffy and unique - try these. Recommend a visit to this spot, for sure.

Absolutely drive off the main strip and go here for brunch. Casual spot with good coffee and creative menu options. The fostered French toast and chipotle grilled cheese are both excellent and appropriate sized for sharing unless you’re REALLY hungry.

Debbie on the Levee is a fantastic locally owned breakfast spot and bakery! I tried the breakfast bowl this morning, and the grits were absolutely delicious--perfectly cheesy. Our waitress was super friendly and took great care of us! Of course, you can't visit without trying their famous doberge cake--it's an absolute must and lives up to the hype! Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or treating yourself to something sweet, this spot is a gem. Highly recommend!

Omg. Hands down the best. We had the loaded hashbrowns, classic breakfast plate (the pancakes had a whipped cinnamon butter) and couldn't decide what bakery goods so just picked four to go. So so good! Friendly prompt service and good prices too. A must.

Quaint little spot on the levee with amazing food and baked goods. The Foster French Toast and Doberge bites I enjoyed are second to none. Truly worth the trip for a nice relaxed brunch.

Ordered a breakfast burrito and had it DoorDashed. It was decent. It was definitely more than I could eat but it wasn't outstanding. I'm not sure what was missing but it needed something else.

Here's a great spot for whatever goodies you crave! Coffee? Got it. Something stronger? Got that too! The hand pies are amazing, so be sure to grab a few while you're here. Better yet... grab a few friends and come for brunch! You will be glad you did!

Went there for brunch on Sunday. The coffee is always delicious, and the food is always on point. Ordered the Grilled Caprese. The mozzarella was fresh, as was the basil. The balsamic glaze was sweet but not too sweet. The servers are always pleasant, and the restaurant is small but quaint. Have never been disappointed.

The Restaurant Food is good and the atmosphere is very chill. the service was great no complaints

This is the type of place you want to eat at everyday. I started following on Facebook after seeing a cake slice photo and it's been on my list of things to get to for over a year unfortunately. Doh! ‍. I ordered an iced pistachio latte and a biscuit breakfast sandwich with bacon. The latte was great and they keep the flavor year round so that's A++. The breakfast sandwich looked so good I had to take a photo. A hearty size with a biscuit that melts in your mouth. One bite and you almost want gobble it all up like Cookie Monster. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. I lingered longer and chatted with the friendly staff as if we were old friends. Perfect place to take a new friend. Sadly I had no room for dessert but I already know what I'm getting next time. Highly recommend you get there ASAP.

Debbie on the levee! I went in before work, I'm so happy I did! I was greeted with smiling faces! Opens at 7am! 10/10 BBLT Beignet Bacon Lettuce Tomato Iced Brew                                                                                             #breakfast #lunch #happyhour #blt

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.

Absolutely wonderful beignets! Perfectly crispy while simultaneously fluffy and dense. So tasty piping hot and alongside some of their yummy cold brew with simple syrup and oat milk . The staff were warm and friendly as well, and the shop overall had a very cozy feel. I saw they have milk and cookies happy hour during the week which is just adorable. Note that they charge an automatic 15% gratuity for service.

Breakfast was really good. Large portions of well cooked food. Staff was super friendly and laid back. GET THE BEIGNETS !! They are the best I've ever had. The chef came to our table to tell us his secret to success with them.

First time in New Orleans and so far this restaurant is number one both in service and food . I got the breakfast burrito and it's so so tasty . Loved it ! Wife got the breakfast bowl which comes with grits . Wife said she never had anything so good . Would recommend to anyone Appreciate the friendly staff Nice music to listen to while you have your meal Thank you

Absolutely amazing!! I got the turkey club and it was huge. But it was very tasty and still perfect as leftovers.

Excellent food and drinks (very well balanced) Small, unique local vibe. A diamond gem spot.

Spelt like cake when I walked and I was great with a smile very nice service and the food was delicious

Worth the drive out of town to visit! Food is well seasoned, not spicy but they salted the eggs and everything was delightful! The team really took care of us and was super nice and sweet. Not customer service nice, actually nice. We are planning on bringing some new friends here. Just remember to specify hot or cold coffee. :-)

Love this place I have to say their BEIGNETS ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER EVER EVER HAD... the French toast is to die for and their breakfast sandwich is tasty their homemade biscuits are baked perfectly.. coffee is a lil bitter but overall my fav breakfast place

I have fallen in love with this adorable place. I ordered a glass of wine and key lime tart. The key lime tart is amazing! It was the perfect way to end the work day. In addition, I ordered 6 doberge petit fours to go. I did taste one before I left. The lemon was so delicious. About 30 minutes after the left, I realized that I left my doberge petit fours. Madi had put them in refrigerator for me. I came back with the tot, and I decided to order the jalapeño cheese scone, and I got the tot a chocolate chip cookie. She loved the cookie, and I devoured the scone. It was shameful how quickly I ate that HUGE scone. This is the place where I can sip a little wine alone, chill with the tot, have part of date night, and/or catch up with a friend. Booze AND desserts! Yes, please!!!!

We got to try Debbie on the Levee as a Yelp Elite Perk. It was a cute bakery and bar. (Unique combo, no?) I'm so glad I go to try this place! I don't live in Kenner, so I would have never discovered it otherwise! Complimentary with the Yelp Elite event, we got cookies and flavored milks! We tried a pistachio cherry cookie, which was delicious. The dough was pistachio flavored and chewy, with dried cherry chunks throughout. The chocolate chip cookie was a crispier cookie with tons of mini chocolate chips in it. The flavored milks were yummy too, soft in flavor and not super sweet, so it's not overwhelming. They have regular milk, almond milk, and oat milk. They were out of the Twix flavored milk, so I'll have to come back to try it again some time! We purchased a lavender lemonade ($2.50), and this was fantastic!! Just a little sweet and tart, surprisingly flavorful with a strong (but really pleasant) lavender infusion. I could drink that all day! We also tried their apple curry handpie ($4) I loved the slight hint of curry taste in the apple filling. It was warmed up for us, so it felt freshly baked. Lastly, we bought a jalapeño cheddar scone ($4). This was good too. It was actually more moist than expected (not dried out at all!). The spicy heat from the jalapeño was mild, just a touch. I would say the price and portions for everything is fair as a bakery and bar. They do have a 15% service charge automatically applied, but the staff there are so attentive while you eat and drink there (great service: refills your water and comes to check on you while eating) and working hard to fulfill your order (warming up the pastries and bartending), so I think it's a good idea to bring a little cash for tipping too!

My friend and I came for a yelp event but also purchased some other baked goods. We weren't in the mood for cake which is what it seems like they are known for, but did try the (flavored) milk & cookies! It was such a creative concept, having adult-y happy hour (as they serve alcoholic beverages as well) with a kid's ultimate dream: milk and warm cookies. Although it was far from Nola proper, I think this place stands well on its own for the quality of their pastries! Aside from the milk & cookies (chocolate chip was great but the pistachio cherry one wasn't bad either!), we also tried their king cake bite and apple curry hand pie. All were amazingly flavorful. The curry flavor was meant to enhance the flavor of the apple and I have to say, it was really good! Props to them for being creative with flavors. Areas of improvement would be to maybe offer non-sweet options, as I would only really go to either indulge or celebrate something casually! For example... dipping fries in shakes is such a thing right? Also... savory hand pies? Or a Marie calendar-esque chicken pot pie? I can definitely see them leaning in to the retro vibe and making it feel more nostalgic and homey! Anyway, I really enjoyed this place overall. It took me back to my childhood when I would sit warm and cozy in front of the TV, dipping my cookies in milk.

Love the food. Love the snacks. Good cold brew. Appreciate SpongeBob playing everytime I go

This is a gem in River town area of Kenner! The have a small menu of savory items ( mainly breakfast type but served all day and there are some non-breakfast options too) along with an array of sweet treats including the famous doberge cakes and cake bites! You should try the ginger cookie with a blood orange icing that has a hint of spiciness to it! The chipotle grilled cheese is served with 3 dipping sauces and the breakfast burrito is packed full of flavor! In addition to this and the ginger cookie I also had the doberge bites in the flavors black and gold, nectar cream, wedding cake and a goat cheese and fig one. I was surprised to find them open at 5 on a Sunday and a nice surprise it was! They also have many specialty cocktails to choose from. I wish I would've taken pix but I just jumped right in to my food! Service was super friendly and attentive!

We stopped here yesterday afternoon with out of state friends for dessert before they had to head to the airport. It was awesome! You have to check this place out! They are located next to the Levee in Rivertown. They are festively decorated for Christmas right now and the ambiance is great! They have tables inside to eat there also. The ladies working there were very friendly and entertaining. We tried a variety of things and all were excellent! I liked the Peppermint Bark Doberge Cake and Bites best. I look forward to visiting again!

More people should know this location exists. I'm a fan of Debbie does Doberge cakes and have visited the bakery bar a lot. Whenever someone has a birthday I order a Debbie does doberge cake to wow them. Everybody always loves the cakes I get from here. I went to for Yelp Elite week for the milk and cookies and got 2 chocolate chip cookies and a strawberry milk and a Cinnamon Toast milk. The cookie was good and it was even better when I dipped it in the cinnamon toast milk. This would be a great thing to enjoy with kids. Both milk flavors I got were good. I want to try the Twix milk next time. They have a milk and cookies happy hour during the week and I definitely recommend going. I was also told they have brunch at this location. I'll be back for that. While I was there I decided to get a king cake doberge cake and it was so good. I'm thankful I don't live too close to this location because I'd probably get a slice of cake every single day if I did lol.

This place is BOMB. Oh my gosh I wish I lived in New Orleans. Kenner actually. Seems a little off beaten path but so happy I found this place. Forget Cafe Du Monde and try the Beignets here. No comparison. Fresh, crispier on the outside chewier inside. So so good. Staff are lovely and friendly.

I love this spot! They have the freshest Baked goods! My favorite is the apple curry pie! My son is obsessed with the little doberge bites! Every time I have been here everything has been super fresh! The staff is super sweet! Ps the cakes are even better! If you're looking for a local bakery and want to support local this is the spot! They also offer a happy hour with some amazing drinks! If you're downtown they have a sister bakery!

Good food, terrible service. The same person who took my order and served me was the same person making the food, taking phone calls and making the Togo orders so I don't blame her one bit but I will not be returning.

Great atmosphere. 50s vibe. Diverse menu. Thoughtful food presentation and little extras to wrap it all up. Delightful orange marmalade. Service was personal and fast. A must try! Pastries and cake display as well.

The service is wonderful here but the products are not. I purchase a variety of sweet products and unfortunately, none of them were good. The petit fours, my main focus, were extremely sweet, too sweet to be exact. The size, oh my gosh, I can't believe how small they were..., 1 inch by 1 inch. The ambience was great, as the location sits in front of the levee on River Road. Pricy, little, over sweet treats. The cake seemed to have a good crumb but overshadowed by the sugar poured glaze on top. They also lack flavor. It was hard to identify the cake because of the poured sugar glaze on top. The donkeys were also lacking in flavor and taste. The pictures look appetizing but... I literally disposed of about $45 worth of product. Good luck with your business Debbie.

Edit to add a fifth star since the owner came on and stated that they give the surcharge to the employees. BRAVO!!!! So bye bye Miss American Pie, I drove to Debbie on the Levee, but the levee was not dry! Because they sell some creative sounding alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages! I had seen the pictures from the Yelp Elite Event a long time ago, I have been stalking them on the various social media sites and I have been wanting to come. I finally took the time to come out, and I did not regret it. The service was amazing. Parking on the side or in the back. Inside was neat and clean. I got the mac and cheese and a wedding cake doberge bite to dine in. Both were amazing. I got some blueberry hand pies, apple hand pies, a few doberge bites to go for some family coming in from out of town and everyone was amazed and impressed. The only questionable thing is that they have 15% surcharge on all transactions. Their website and all signs in the restaurant say that they do this. When I asked the gal working the counter what it was for, she skirted discussing what it was for. If it was simply for credit card transactions, that is one thing, but they evidently do it for cash transactions as well. I would hope for the answer that it goes to the employees, but it does not implicitly say that, and the employee did not say that it did. This location is a bit out of the way from where I live, but I will be back if I am in the area again.

The food is so good I keep coming back. Some days it takes a long time for food to come, other times it's pretty quick. I usually go for brunch at the weekend. Everything is delicious and the staff are friendly. Go here.

I have to be quite honest, i never knew about this place until Elite week and I live fairly close by. Reading more about them had me realize that they are affiliated with Debbie Does Doberge which got me excited since I'm pretty familiar with the cakes! Finally had time to make my way over to this nice little shop and had to grab a few extra things to really get a good grasp of what they're all about! I'm pretty familiar with the cakes which i've had on multiple occasions which has not disappointed. Starting off with the chocolate and pistachio cookies. They were pretty flavorful and crunchy, but nothing too exciting (put them in the microwave for a warm, softer cookie). The cheese and jalapeno scone was mildly fluffy and savory, and the chocolate chip was not overly sweet. The scones kind of remind me of the texture of corn bread which is not a bad thing because I like corn bread, lol. I had gotten my desserts to go since I live near by and had the pleasure of putting the scones in the microwave which helped it become warm and soft. My kids enjoyed the brownie as it was chocolatey and fudgy. The cinnamon bun was ok and not as sweet for my liking, but not a bad thing. Also, my wife and I had gotten the Twix and Cinnamon toast flavored milk with our cookies which was a nice compliment to wash down the desserts. However, I found that the Twix flavored milk, just tasted like plain, regular milk. Nothing really different or special that brought out any different flavor. The Cinnamon toast milk had a very minimal, if any, mild sweetness to it, but was also close to tasting like regular milk. Maybe they were not prepared properly or ran out of ingredients? Not really sure. Overall, it's a nice, small place with multiple tables for dining, as well as having other food items and alcoholic drinks to sit and catch up with friends. I'll definitely keep them in mind when i'm out looking for some desserts.

I had to try that King Cake Cocktail that I saw pictures of all over their facebook page. I came here around 2pm on a Friday. I was the only one there, so I made friends with the bartender and the cashier with the fun hair. The drink was a nice, relaxing break since I was giving myself a little pick me up. It was indeed strong, but flavorful and fun. The interior of the restaurant is bigger than I was expecting and spacious enough to be spread out. I would say this would be a great place for a groups. The big windows bring in plenty of natural light and the art on the wall gives the place a fun personality. Service and product was 5 star quality!

Breakfast plate and French Toast were delicious! Also got some fresh baked goods. Small and quiet cafe was perfect for our afternoon.

Debbie on the Levee If you're in Kenner, Louisiana and looking for a sweet treat, you should check out Debbie on the Levee @debbieonthelevee. It's a cute bakery, severing fresh pastries each and every day, but that's not all. This hidden gem also has a full bar with a great cocktail menu! I started with a "Lavender Buds". I absolutely loved this cocktail. A French 75 with lavender syrup and finished with Prosecco. I also ordered both a chocolate chip cookie and pistachio cookie. Khi enjoyed both of them, for me they were a tab bit too hard. I got slices of Doberge cake in "Rainbow Surprise Wedding Cake" and "Rum Caramel King Cake," and they were absolutely heavenly! Both were moist, layered perfectly, and mouthwatering! To finish thing off, I had to try their flavored milk! "Cinnamon Toast" and "Trix", definitely gave me I ate all my cereal but let me drink my milk vibe. The service was also good. Our server was patient and knowledgeable. Although I enjoyed pretty much everything, the location is really a bummer, being that it's so far from the city, but if I am ever in the area, I won't leave without stopping by!

Service was great! My wife loved the cake we got for mother's day. Son kept moaning over how good the lemon bar was. Can't wait to eat breakfast next time we go!

Nevaeh is super rad. Pretty cool that she had SpongeBob playing. 10 out 10, would come back for the cold brew and vibes.

Nevaeh was such a friendly and engaging server. The coffee was top-notch, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the fact that SpongeBob was playing in the background was just icing on the cake. A chill and tasty hangout. Thanks, bestie!

I was super excited to try this bakery because I am a huge fan of doberge cakes. When I visited they didn't have chocolate or lemon slices so I tried the cookies and creme. The cake was very moist, but I did think it needed some sort of extra umph because it wasn't chocolate enough for me. What really surprised me was the apple curry hand pies. They were absolutely divine! I recommend warming them up at home, but even room temperature they are still delectable.

Absolutely amazing! That's how you can describe everything at Debbie's on the Levee. I can't believe I've never been here before! We came in just as they were closing but the team absolutely welcomed us in. it was our first time there so it was so hard to pick from all of the amazing things that were available. We had the red velvet Doberge cake, blueberry hand pie, peanut butter cookie, and hot chocolate. It was absolute perfection. I can't wait to try their unique cocktails next time we are there. From the desserts to the drinks to the team, you can't ask for anything better than Debbie's on the Levee.

The chocolate chip cookie was delicious!! It not chewy or soft...it's a little crunchy. A different texture!! We also orders a few of the other items. The brownies were so big!! It took all 4 of us to finished it. I also got the red velvets cake and a key lime tart. They were all yummy. Place is so cute

This place has the best beignets by far! Unfortunately they were out of grits and didn't have many pastries in the case but everything else was great. We got the egg breakfast plate with sausage which was good.

Great bakery and breakfast spot! I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and my husband did the breakfast bowl. Both were delicious. The biscuit was one of the best I have had! Great coffee and great service topped it off. Next time I am trying the baked goods!

King Cake Dobites These are the perfect little treats. You can also get it by the slice for 8 or get a boozly slice for 12! Seriously they are the hookup for all your mardi gras sweet treats and drinks with their seasonal Mardi Gras Mambo menu! Check out their happy hour from 4-6 Wednesday-Saturday & sunday from 4-5.

The best sweets in the NOLA area, bar none. Try the pistachio cookie with cherry filling. Really wonderful. We had breakfast and the Bananas Foster French Toast was amazing.

Went to D on L Sunday 7/22/23 was looking forward to it after reading article in Nola.com . What a disappointment! Arrived at 12:10 left at 1:30 without being served our food. After 20 minutes we got our drinks. Left after waiting over an hour. Tables were occupied but no one was eating. The banana foster French toast sounded delicious, but I may never know.

Very cute spot in the Kenner Riverfront area! I had tried this doberge at Bakery Bar before but had never checked out this spot. This is more of a bakery than a bar like Bakery Bar, but they do have cocktails and a nice seating area and are open late if you'd like a cocktail and some cake after dinner. There were maybe 5 different doberge flavors when I was there along with a number of dobites and pastries. I got the rainbow flavor which is very instagram friendly. Great spot to check out any time of day!

Service the way you would want it from everywhere. My entire family was together to see my son perform at Rivertown Theater and we stopped in after lunch for a few pre-game drinks. Our bartender was perfect! Engaging and friendly, quick with a joke "or a light of your smoke" if Mr. Joel was was telling the story. Seriously, a master bartender. Drinks were quality and he and the Barback were a dynamic duo of cool and fun; and were actively part of our afternoon on the town. Yet, i feel like because they were able to read their patrons so well they would have given us our distance if we wanted it; but we didn't and they were right there with us as we were chatting it up. But for "the rest of the story" as my good fiend Mr. Harvey once said keep reading. Well we continued to enjoy ourselves, have drinks and get ready for the the show. Soon it was time to pay the bill and leave. Everything was in order, no surprises and in fact a very reasonable bill. I tipped my friends behind the bar proportionally to the experience we had and we said our goodbyes with promises of me and my better half to stop by soon a meal and drinks next time. All is good, we scanned our tickets to get into the show, but i figured i wasn't driving, why not buy a "show drink" for me and my wife and let my daughter home from college pay us back for years of responsible parenting and do the driving this time. As i am in line and searching for my credit card i hear a mans voice say, "thats the guy im looking for." Now normally that phrase can either evoke panic, curiosity, or excitement depending upon the situation; i was in the curious camp. I turned around to see my bartender from Debbie, who had left the levee, not in his Chevy! He had rode his long board ( i think that's what the young folks call it, thank you google) from the restaurant to return my credit card to me. Now lets actually think about this act of kindness for a second. It is more than just "hey Mister, you forgot you card" type situation. He engaged with us enough and cared enough to remember what our next event of the evening was and then long boarded himself over to the theater with only the hopes that the could locate me in the crowd. I would give his odds at finding me to be less than 10%; but he did it anyway. Heck, he may have intended to wait until intermission and made an announcement; no telling his resolve. Our daily actions have consequences that we may never see the effects of. These purposely placed pebbles of deliberate actions have ripples that extend outward and those concentric rings become larger from that Genesis stone, effecting more and more people. I can tell you after i got my card back, and after my initial feelings of relief then gratitude i enjoyed myself the rest of the night even more so knowing i was thought about enough that someone who didnt know me cared enough to treat me like he did know me. So, my bartender friend i thank you from the bottom of my heart! I thank whoever in your life has instilled in you the importance of doing "that thing" whatever it is that makes you feel like its the right thing. Lastly, i thank the management of Debbie on Levee to see in this young man the qualities that make him so special. I will be back to your establishment and i will do my very best to repay this act of kindness by telling everyone i know to stop by and hopefully meet my bartender friend.
