Neyow’s Creole Cafe serves soulful, classic New Orleans Creole dishes with standout chargrilled oysters, gumbo, and fried chicken in a lively, local vibe.
"A Mid-City favorite for New Orleans classics, owned by Big Freedia's best friend. Known for its classic New Orleans cuisine and fire cornbread." - Clair Lorell
"Chef and proprietor Tanya Dubuclet serves New Orleans homestyle cooking at Neyow’s Creole Cafe, something that isn’t as easy to find in restaurants as it used to be. Her file gumbo is a perfect place to start, prepared with shrimp, crabs, smoked sausage, ham, and seasoning and served over white rice. You’ll want a bowl, but get a cup so you can have some grilled oysters, red beans and rice, and fried fish too." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
"Although not exactly a meat and three, the elevated Neyow’s Creole Cafe does offer killer daily specials. Beyond red beans, there are white beans and fried chicken on Tuesdays, smothered cabbage and pork chops on Thursdays, and so on — special platters every day of the week. Interesting sides too, like carrot souffle and sweet potato tots." - Beth D'Addono
"Tanya Dubuclet and her family have been cooking and serving Creole soul food based on her grandma’s kitchen on the corner of Jeff Davis Parkway and Bienville since 2010. Neyow’s recipes are unchanged from Dublucet’s childhood, staples that don’t need reinvention or modernization, like the famous file gumbo. Other classics like red beans and rice, carrot souffle, and cornbread dressing are served in a friendly, lively atmosphere that sometimes draws a line." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
