Miss Shirley's

Great place to get dim sum around New Orleans. Well, it did have a hint of a modern fusion take on it. I did enjoy the presentation and the taste. I lined up 10 minutes before 5 PM on a Friday and there was a couple big parties ahead of me. After being seated and ordering the place filled up. The service was great and the food came out fast. My favorite was the short rib, the shumai. The shrimp dumpling, and the soup dumpling didn’t make my expectations as they were a little bit soggy on the outside in other words, the dumpling wrapper itself was soggy. Overall good portion sizes and delicious taste. I love how there is complementary potstickers and beignets. I highly recommend and I would come back.

Most definitely a locally owned gem of New Orleans. Dining room is small, so expect to wait for a table. Service is attentive, fast and good. Large portions, family style, items come out as they are ready. Best Chinese food I’ve had south of Philadelphia’s Chinatown. Worth the wait, worth the price and you’ll come back.

Well worth the wait. Our server, bo, was incredibly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The barbecue pork was worth the wait alone, and the rest of the food was great and was served almost as quick as we had sat down and ordered. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Traveling to New Orleans, I never expected to eat Chinese food, but we were encouraged to visit by the owner of our B&B. Miss Shirley's was the BEST Chinese food we have ever had, and will be a repeat experience the next time we are in town. Our server was knowledgeable and happy to offer suggestions for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, and Miss Shirley herself stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying our dinner. Every single thing we tried was phenomenal - dumplings, salt and pepper tofu, Singapore noodles, and several other dishes. Even the egg rolls were a notch above all other egg rolls in my life. Several draft beers were available (in addition to wine and cocktails) and were a nice compliment to the food.

This was one of the best Chinese meals I’ve ever had. Miss Shirley and her team both cook incredibly delicious food and provide wonderfully attentive service. We had the Beef Dumplings, Beef Short Ribs, Egg Drop Soup, Wonton Soup, Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Chow Fun, Tong Chow Chicken, and Ginger Scallion Chicken & Beef. Everything I would recommend. If you’re in NOLA, you have to pay Miss Shirley’s a visit.

Miss Shirley’s Located in the same spot as the old Golden Dragon, this place has been completely reimagined. The vibe is more polished, cozy yet modern—perfect for a casual date night, business lunch, or upscale dinner with friends. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried tasted fresh, well-balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. It’s not your typical takeout spot—this is Chinese cuisine with a refined twist. The flavors are bold but clean, and you can tell the ingredients are top-notch. What really sets Miss Shirley’s apart is the impressive selection of wine, beer, and liqueur. The beverage list rivals some of the trendiest restaurants uptown, making it a great place to pair your dumplings or duck with a curated drink. Prices are a bit higher than a standard Chinese restaurant, but it’s clear you’re paying for quality and ambiance. It’s more of a business casual or special occasion spot rather than a quick bite—but totally worth it. Highly recommend everyone check it out for themselves. Whether you're a longtime fan of Chinese food or just exploring new dining spots, Miss Shirley’s is a fresh, flavorful experience you won’t want to miss.

I’ve been here more times than I can count and I’ve NEVER had a bad experience. There’s almost always a wait so I usually sit at the bar. They always serve complimentary dumplings as like an amuse-bouche. They have seasonal cocktails in addition to the regular menu. My favorites include the yuzu collins and the vesper. My favorite menu items are the beef short ribs, the crab dumplings, the EGG ROLLS!, and the crab udon noodles. They always have specials as well which never disappoint. They bring complimentary beignets at the end of the meal with your fortune cookie. The food is hot, fresh, fast, and homey. Always feels like a home cooked meal. And it’s not uncommon for Ms Shirley to stop by your table or clear your plates. The vibes, the food, the service…never disappoint. Easily one of my favorite places.

Honeymooning in New Orleans from KY and found Miss Shirley’s via TikTok. Went for lunch today and it was SO good we went back for dinner. The Orange Ginger Chicken - out of this world. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Husband & I had it for both meals. At lunch, we also tried the fried beef dumplings - top tier - and the crabmeat wontons - think Rangoon. Nothing disappointed! Staff was so kind and we had the pleasure of meeting Miss Shirley herself. To top off every meal, they also bring you mini beignets for dessert! Some of the best we’ve had in our week exploring the city! Couldn’t take pictures because we inhaled everything both times.

I've never been disappointed by a meal from Miss Shirley's. It's a cozy restaurant, but it's always bustling in there. The Singapore noodles are my favorite, but also love any of the dim sum, sesame chicken, orange chicken, crabmeat udon, etc. It always tastes fresh and delivers on flavor. The service is also excellent.

Takeout review: Honestly, for as much hype as this place gets, I was left a bit underwhelmed. The food was okay and seasoned well, but nothing I had really stood out. I'd probably skip the egg drop soup next time, it just wasn't very good. The highlight for me was definitely the ground chicken lettuce wraps. The noodles and wontons were both just okay; I've had better versions elsewhere. It also felt a bit pricey for Chinese food -- about $82 for four dishes at lunchtime. Overall, it was fine, but I'm in no rush to go back.

Wow! So glad I finally made it here. The energy was so vibrant the second you walk in. There was a lot of people waiting, but with the quick service and super efficient and friendly staff, everything moved quickly. Our group sat at a large round table that was perfect for sharing plates. We tried so much delicious dim sum. My favorite was an eggplant dish. It was perfectly cooked packed with fresh, delicious flavor. Miss Shirley herself stopped by to see how our food was. I think that is such a lovely touch to have an owner who is still so involved, even with all of the restaurant's success. After we were done, they dropped off beignets for a post-dinner treat. The perfect way to end such a lovely and hospitable evening.

Great place to get dim sum around New Orleans. Well, it did have a hint of a modern fusion take on it. I did enjoy the presentation and the taste. I lined up 10 minutes before 5 PM on a Friday and there was a couple big parties ahead of me. After being seated and ordering the place filled up. The service was great and the food came out fast.

This was a fun spot to check out in New Orleans while I was there for a work trip! They have amazing dim sum. I went with a group so we tried soooo many items from the menu I can't even recall them all. But I did try them all lol and I really did like each dish. I love how I got to have a more authentic dim sum experience than normal. It was nice to be able to taste and try several different dishes. I also enjoyed a yummy hot tea too. The service was great and lively! We also met Miss Shirley herself and she was so nice too!! Great food and service. It really feels like you're family while you're here. I would definitely come back!

Finally made it out to try Miss Shirley's for dinner, and I was pleased! We ordered several dim sum dishes and a main noodle dish. The food was so fresh, and you could tell that quality ingredients are used! My only critique is that I was looking for bolder flavors. Other than that, the restaurant is super cute, it wasn't a long wait time for two on a Friday night at 8pm (30 mins), and Miss Shirley herself was present and interacting with her guests. That was super cool to experience, and I'd love to check it out again!

I can't believe it has taken me this long to try the locally-beloved Miss Shirley's, but yes, it has happened and I'm adding my name to the long list of people who adore this place. In a city like New Orleans where there's great food at every turn, the options for good Chinese have been limited and Miss Shirley's is known to be in a league of its own. You may or may not know, they don't do reservations. I actually don't mind that, it makes it an even playing field, but I do wish they had Yelp Waitlist because that makes life so much easier. That said, the four of us rolled up on a Friday night, gave our name and were called in no longer than 15 minutes later. I admittedly was disappointed that there didn't seem to be a single item on the dim sum menu that I could eat. I love a good bean curd skin roll, so I was sad not to see this common offering at the very least. There's an enticing, but limited vegetable section of the menu (string beans in black bean sauce, I'll be back for you) and our waitress was helpful in offering up tofu as a protein option. I went with basic, mixed vegetables, which is a generous portion. I asked for it extra spicy buuuuut... it wasn't even slightly spicy. I do realize that I should have said spice level 5 or something! I'm just that person. A nod to the phenomenal service here. I loved everyone that I encountered and Miss Shirley herself came over to our table to say hi. Ok and they had me with that cocktail list! I didn't partake but this is just another reason to return. My favorite homestyle Chinese restaurants in New York often don't have much in the way of cocktails (with the exception of the old school tiki drinks), but at Miss Shirley's you get quality cocktails and a decent selection of wines too. There's something that's so genuinely delightful about Miss Shirley's that makes me love it, even if the menu doesn't have a lot in the realm of plant-based options. I'm definitely adding it to my list of Uptown faves!

A very popular Chinese Food restaurant in the Garden District, we found it to be all that was described. We did have a short wait for a table, but the service is prompt and facilitates rapid turnaround, without giving a rushed feeling. We ordered from both the entree and Dim Sum selections. Everything was excellent! They do a robust business, both in store and take out. Miss Shirley is a vibrant presence and highly regarded by her guests. She makes sure to visit each table during your meal. This is an excellent choice for Chinese cuisine when in NOLA.

This was hands down in my top 3 restaurants on my recent visit to Nola. I randomly picked this spot for some dinner. The restaurant reminds me of Chinatown. Quaintly situated in the middle of Magazine Street. Everyone wanted to go back a second time and the other part of our group went before leaving Nola and they also enjoyed!

Came here with a friend for a late lunch and we tried the beef chow fun, sesame chicken, hot and sour soup, and soup dumplings. The hostess was friendly and our server was attentive and kind! The best items were the sesame chicken and hot and sour soup. I wouldn't recommend the chow fun and the Xiao long bao had a thicker skin than I'm used to. If this were in NY or CA it might be closer to 2 stars, but Ik authentic asian food isn't very common in LA so this could help satisfy a craving!

Was here visiting Nola and really needed my asian food fix. I am from California where asian food is extremely accessible and very authentic. Decided to make our way to the garden district. We were greeted and seated right away and everyone was so friendly! It has such a cute little asian vibe on the inside. A huge plus for me was HOT MUSTARD on the table. We ordered: Crab sui mai 8/10 Shrimp Har gow 10/10 beef ribs 10/10 gai lan 8/10 hot and sour soup 8/10 salt and pepper chicken 9.5/10 chow fun 8/10 I will say that everything we had was SO TASTY. Everything tasted great. I only docked a star because the chow fun noodles were a little too chewy, and i felt that the flavors weren't as "authentic" as I have had at other dimsum places I have had in california. But i would honestly come back here :) 4.5/5 :)

Parked on a neighborhood street that wasn't too far. Was seated right away. Friendly staff and very modern menu. Loved the beautiful fish tank upon entering. We came for the dim sum and loved how they offered non-traditional menu items. Especially since I like to try new things. I really enjoyed the bbq ribs the most. Place was cozy but just enough space to handle walk-in's like ourselves. Overall the food was good, just a tad pricey.

The food was really good, especially the shrimp fried rice. I also had the popular chicken dish. We went in the first Saturday on February about 12ish. The hostesses were AMAZING. While our waitress was okay, she was differently overwhelmed and it just made the experience not so pleasant. Maybe get your order to go. The inside is nice and the bathrooms were surprisingly really clean to say the restaurant was crowded.

I'll start by saying that Chinese food is not my cuisine of choice, but it's mostly because my experiences have been buffets and takeout spots. I was happy to finally make it here! It was my first real sit down meal at a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant gives homey vibes and has a fish tank up front. Super cute. The cocktail menu had some interesting items. The service had high and low points. We had to ask for drink refills, but the server was pleasant. He had a lot to do! I appreciated the complimentary dumplings to start the meal and the beignets to close. Love, love, love the family style servings. Everything was fresh. My mom's only critique was that she felt like the lo mein vegetables were the equivalent to bagged coleslaw. I enjoyed it. My soup broth was really flavorful! The spicy squid could have been spicier, but I would go back to try more dim sum. The dim sum options are the real star.

Listen... I love me some Asian food and Ma. Shirley's didn't disappoint. You would think you were going to a soul food spot, but took be pleasantly surprised. Food was fresh, flavorful, the drinks were good, service was great. 10/10. We just pulled up to and didn't have to wait that long so that's a plus.

Now this place has been recommended for quite a while, but every time I'm in New Orleans im wanting Cajun food. I finally had a want some Chinese and this place did NOT disappoint. We stopped in for lunch and man were the portions a perfect size. Mama Shirley comes by and checks on all the tables to make sure everyone is having a great meal. When we left, we heard that she will come by and offer different dishes to everyone in the restaurant, so we will have to make sure we stay for dinner so we can get that experience. Amazing place and fantastic food!

Pineapple fried rice was amazingly delicious, dragon dumplings were yummy along with the sesame chicken,, everything was so fresh,, also the dirty Shirley drink was good,, great friendly service I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food but this is a definite comeback

This place is great had a small bit of food but super delish and shirley is super sweet!

Miss Shirley's is such a delight every time I visit. It's cozy and very popular so it's always busy but the service is attentive and friendly. My friends and I ordered sooo much food because the menu has so many options and we wanted a taste of almost everything. We ordered the eggs rolls, shrimp fried rice, crab meat Shui Mai, shrimp dumplings, beef short ribs and sesame chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious and leftovers were great for lunch the next day. I can't wait to go back.

I'm a big fan of Miss Shirley's on Magazine St! When I heard that they had soup dumplings, I knew I had to try it as soon as I could. I came on my own one afternoon and snagged a spot at the bar. It was still early when I got there, but it was very busy with people waiting outside when I left. The place itself isn't very big and the tables are fairly close together. But I liked the ambience of it. Miss Shirley's isn't just a restaurant it's an experience. As soon as you sit down they give you a sampling of one of their dumplings as well as a salad and a dipping tray with 3 different sauces. I ordered more dumplings on top of this, the Xiao Long bao (soup dumplings) and the shrimp snow pea leaf dumplings. Both were very good and super filling! The presentation of the soup dumplings was unique as each dumpling was placed on it's own little holder. There were more dumpling options which I will have to try next time. At the end they provided complimentary beignets which taste like Chinese donuts with powdered sugar. I will most definitely be back try more items off of their menu. Drinks: I only had water, but they had a full menu of drink options. Happy Hour: NA Service: Great service! Especially since I was sitting at the bar. Parking: Street Parking. This is right off of Magazine St so parking may have some challenges. But it's not paid parking. Reservations: They only take reservations for parties of 10 or more.

I needed some good Chinese since my last outing in NOLA was a bit of a disappointment. Let me tell you, Miss Shirley's got it on lockdown. After shuttering her last restaurant after an astonishing 40 years in business, she's back Uptown on the famed Magazine Street and serving delicious dishes once again. My bartender/server, Tim, is amazing. The kitchen is fast and creating not just delectable food but it's pretty. A little bit noisy inside but once you begin eating, you will drown out the din of everyone around you and be in your own world. I can't wait to return and try everything on the menu. They have plenty of veggie options and offer many gluten free options as well.

There is a reason Miss Shirley's is known by most in NOLA. Serving up delicious Chinese food, I've eaten her food several times and I am never disappointed. In particular, the dumplings, Singapore style noodles, and braised eggplant are absolutely delicious. Although I haven't had the chance to eat in person, it was delicious as take out and I plan to visit again soon and sit down. My partner went to pick up our food once and it wasn't ready, and while he was waiting, they brought out complimentary dumplings for him to enjoy and sent him off with some complimentary beignets! Definitely a must try!

We visited Royal China frequently when we lived in New Orleans, so visiting Miss Shirley's new restaurant was a must when we were in town for a long weekend. We got there at 5 when they opened and the place was full in minutes. The space has been remodeled nicely with blue walls and gold accents. The vibe is classy Asian, and a large fish tank in the entry is reminiscent of Royal China. The cocktail menu was extensive and offered fun twists on classics. We ordered drinks and way too much food - soup, dumplings, chicken, pork belly, lo mein, and more. All of it was delicious and served with genuine hospitality. We had a great meal and will return when in town.

Very homey with delicious food! The service is pretty good and the food comes out quick. All of the dumplings are so good! There's a round of complementary chicken dumplings and beignets which are so good. The short ribs are flavorful and the fried rice hits every time!

Meh. I was visiting from SF so I eat a lot of dumplings. I stopped here for a snack. I had the crab sui mai. A lot of potential here but lacking flavor. Sauces didnt help. I think this is a place for locals who don't have access to more authentic dim sum

Me and my boyfriend went to Miss Shirley's for his birthday and what a special experience! The ambiance was super cool and relaxed. Our server Jonathan was super great despite it being Super Bowl busy & the food was super delicious with great portion sizes. We got shrimp dumplings, steamed soup dumplings and Singapore noodles (with complimentary dumplings & beignets!) Miss Shirley happened to be sitting next to us and she was super sweet! Took a couple pictures with him and wished him a happy birthday. We had a really great time. I cannot wait to go back!

Great vibe. Excellent friendly, helpful, fast , accommodating service. Our party enjoyed all their family style dishes. We will definitely be back.

Wow. Just wow. If you want THE BEST Chinese restaurant in the area, please come here. I have been to many in the past, Trey Yuen, China Rose, Five Happiness, none compare! We ordered just about everything on the menu, I wish I had more pics, but I ate it all too fast. The service was fantastic. The ambience is great. And I absolutely love that Miss. Shirley - as adorable as she is - stops and greets the customers as they dine. The pineapple rice in a pineapple was one of my favorite dishes. I am pretty sure we ordered one order of each of the dumplings for apps and there were none that I did not like. Parking is off street since it is Magazine. And the restaurant can handle fairly large groups. I am so happy to have a great Chinese Restaurant in the city. Thank you, Miss. Shirley!

Amazing!! The food was so good. Even though they were extremely busy the service was still good. I tried a little bit of everything. Everything I had was amazing. My favorites were the pork dumpling and the soup dumpling. It reminded me of the amazing food I had in China town in New York. Who knew I could get Chinese food that taste this good in New Orleans. The only thing that has kept me from going back is the wait to get seated. They always seem to be extremely busy. I hope that means they'll open a 2nd location soon.

We like Miss Shirleys, Magazine St has so many little gems. It's hard to find decent Chinese Food outside of the big cities so manage your expectations. We had Shrimp Snow Pea Dumplings, Salt and Pepper Squid and Crispy Duck Wraps. All were delicious and filled us up. Miss Shirley is a delight and spends her time working the room making sure everyone is happy and they were. Did I mention I Love Dim Sum. The room s not too large and not too small and has a nice warm atmosphere.

Miss Shirley and her family are the absolute best The food is amazing Fresh and fun- Atmosphere is beautiful This is a must if in the area

The culinary offerings are exceptional; every dish sampled has proven to be delectable, with the dim sum being particularly outstanding. We highly recommend experiencing this establishment, as the quality of the cuisine is truly remarkable.

This place has been here for so many years, but it never had a great reputation. It does seem to have one now. A lot of people go sometimes you have to wait in line to get in. I enjoyed it. Here's the problem I went for lunch had wonton soup and Kung pow chicken with rice and my bill was $36 And that's for lunch? So you were forewarned but if you love good Chinese food you really need to check it out.

Great food, great service, and nice restaurant to be in. As long as you go there early you shouldn't have to deal with the place being packed. Overall great restaurant and would recommend to anyone who appreciates excellent Chinese cuisine.

The food, the service and the ambiance is fantastic! Miss Shirley made sure we were taken care of and checked on us several times to ensure the food tasted good. I highly recommend this place!

Wow wow wow. I saw this place driving into town and immediately knew I needed to try. I arrived 20 minutes after opening and I had to wait about 5 minutes for a table, so I knew I was in for a treat! As soon as we sat, we were offered complementary chicken dumplings which were delicious! We ended up ordering a full portion! Pork soup dumplings were 10/10. Soft, tender, and full of flavor! Also ordered Chicken Udon noodles which were also so flavorful. Ended the meal with complimentary cookies and paid for around $40. So simple yet delicious. Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a really long time. I will for sure be back!

Came a little after 5 on Saturday and were sitting right away. The staff was cheerful and attentive. We enjoyed the lagniappe appetizers. Everything was delicious and we saw Miss Shirley busing tables. We loved the neighborhood around the restaurant. Highly recommend Miss Shirleys.

Service was quick even when full. Food was super fresh and always steaming hot. As someone with a gluten sensitivity, they had a lot of options including the delicious egg rolls. Portion sizes are large so I recommend sharing and they are on the pricey side but very filling. Also got a complementary wonton and beignets Resturant is a bit small and tight, so I recommend getting there early because there was a wait when we left. Would go again!

Great food and service We had chicken fried rice, veggie egg rolls, Orange chicken Lo mein Food was really good and freshly prepared

Came here for the first time on my birthday last month and it was perfect. The food was SO yummy. The service was great. They made me feel so special on my day, and even offered some beignets as a treat! Definitely recommend. (We went on a Thursday at around 11 am and it wasn't too packed!)

We went to Miss Shirley's to celebrate my friend's birthday. The restaurant is one I'm not sure how I've missed after frequently Magazine St for so long. The service was amazing. Who doesn't love a server who gives recommendations? The decor inside wasn't anything to brag about. The business went from quiet to booming within a short period of time, but that's a good sign. The dim sum was good. We ordered the tuna titake, The soup dumplings were really good. The pork buns were good. We also had the Singapore noodles and the pork moo shu. Each entrée was ok but felt like something was missing. The mini beignets were good and the lychee sake was delicious. I'd give this restaurant another try to try other menu options.

Food was amazing. We only had a few dim sum items, but they were all delicious. The best eggrolls. Ever. Same for the soup dumplingsService was pretty good and I loved the laid back fun atmosphere. Highly recommend

Possibly the best Chinese I've ever had!!!!! The soup dumplings were phenomenal. The egg rolls were the perfect size with a crispy exterior and v tasty filling. We'd prob pass ln the fun gow, but you HAVE to try the beef short ribs. We went on Valentine's Day, and it was popppping. The wait was absolutely worth it and we've been dying to go back!! We did get an assortment of other dumplings (no pics, sorry) and all were great. Definitely wanting to try a soup or noodle dish next tim

We had a great experience here. The service was really good and we had some tasty food. It's a small spot but good size and we didn't have to wait on a Wednesday night at least. There's a good vibe all around. My faves were the steamed dragon dumplings, the beef short ribs, singapore noodles, and the shrimp toast. For drinks, definitely recommend the lychee sake and the specialty old fashioned from the cocktail menu. Only thing I didn't like was the hot and sour soup. Besides that we really enjoyed everything!

Well I'm not sure where to begin. We ordered hot and sour soup and steamed dumplings to begin our meal. The dumplings were the last thing delivered to the table. We received our entree's first. Kinda out of order. Our entrees were ok, nothing spectacular. In fact the shrimp were cold and the sesame chicken was tough. The service was ok, nothing great. And the place was packed with patrons so maybe it was just too busy. I might go back again, the hot and sour soup was Very good so I'd go back for that.

At the end of my trip after eating all the creole food, I was craving some Asian food. So, off I went to this Chinese restaurant. I was pretty satisfied with the food I ordered. The dumplings were juicy and delicious. The atmosphere and service were great as well.

Fabulous is an understatement. Great service and very fresh food with great Chinese mustard makes my heart sing. Everything I had, from the Oolong tea, fresh egg rolls, beef ribs and sautéed eggplant was simply great. If I lived here, I would be a regular.

Miss Shirley's was great. I loved that Miss Shirley comes out and greet her customers. Her God is amazing and delicious. We had a lot of the dishes from her menu so it's kind of hard to describe them all. But I just want to say I need to go with other people that eat everything. So you can have a wide selection of the dishes. The amicable is nice and oriental, dim lighting and family style sitting. I recommend and will be back.

Everything about this experience was wonderful. Street parking only, so plan ahead especially if you're going on a busy Saturday. Don't remember if they take reservations, but we waited about 30 minutes as walk-ins. Not bad. The hostess was really nice. The place is snug, so be prepared to make friends with the table bext to you. There are larger tables for larger parties. Our server was great, made great recommendations. We even got to see Miss Shirley as she stopped and talked with us like we were friends from way back. We were treated to a sampling of chicken dumplings while we overlooked the menu (so good, they made my husband's eyes roll back lol). We ordered the Fried beef dumplings to start. Both were prepared perfectly, nice crisp, not too hard. My husband said the chicken was better. We then tried the infamous beef short ribs. So tender they melt in your mouth, and full of flavor. We added some egg rolls, which were fried lightly and stuffed, not too greasy. Per our server, we tried the special pineapple fried rice. It was delicious. Hit, freshly prepared. The pineapple bits were a sweet treat but didn't take over the rice. It was filled with shrimp and chicken as well. We then tried a seasonal/special item a watermelon pork belly. This dish was so refreshing to the palette. The pork was tender with a bold flavor. Paired with the sweet watermelon, this was the hit of the evening. We were stuffed...and the two of us shared every dish. Our drink was also good, not to strong but we only needed one lol. While we were finishing our drinks, we were treated again to the beignets. Nice and hot! We were full but made a little room for this New Orleans staple. Overall, GREAT VISIT!! We absolutely will be back. And we're bringing family!!
