Nonno’s Cajun Cuisine and Pastries

We were looking around for something quick to eat and stumbled upon this gem. The food was hot, fresh and so flavorful. We had the seafood egg rolls which are some of the best I’ve ever had. For my lunch I had the French toast and chicken. The French toast on the French bread *chefs kiss* was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. There was so much flavor and the wings were seasoned to perfection. We were really impressed!

Such an awesome experience! We were driving through New Orleans via I-10 and decided to stop for some Po ‘boy sandwiches as I hadn’t had one before. Food was great but really it was the owner and staff that made it such a great experience. They all checked on us, had such pleasant attitudes and seemed genuinely interested in what was going on with us. Would 100% come back to see them next time I’m in town. Parking is street parking but we had no problem with it even with a 16ft moving truck. Music is R&B/Jazz vibes and I was just bobbing along to the music while drinking my slushy. So good!

We discovered this gem on our last night on our recent visit and it was some of the best food we had on this trip. It will definitely be on the top of our list when we are in the area! Great service, super nice staff, neat atmosphere, and fantastic food! We ordered take out, but would have loved to sit outside to eat. Will definitely visit next time!

I love this place! Tried the charbroiled oysters and they are one of a kind! They serve breakfast all day too so our table had all of the best things between the four of us. If you’re in New Orleans, you need to check this place out. Just barely off the beaten path in so many ways. Unique and delicious.

They serve breakfast and lunch all day. The service was great! We ordered The Island drink which was sweet but refreshing! We also ordered a shrimp po boy which was delicious from the batter on the shrimp to the bread roll it was served on and the shrimp burrito which was seasoned to perfection! Great little local spot, definitely worth trying.

This black owned business is a diamond in the rough. The food was excellent. High quality fresh shrimp on my poboy. My wife and the shrimp and catfish platter with fries, she almost didn’t finish it with out my help. Highly recommend this place. Staff was attentive and courteous. Will be back again.

Absolutely fantastic, one of the best meals we had while in Nola for 4 days. The shrimp and grits were other worldly, amazingly seasoned and cooked. French toast was crisp on the outside, soft in, just perfection. Wish we had more time to go back to Nonnos. Great service too, Vicky was great!!

The food (chicken and french toasts) were delicious!!! The service was amazing too. The only thing I didn't like was the restroom, but if you don't have to use it is bot a big deal.

Came to Nonnos for breakfast and had to try the charbroiled oysters. We were not disappointed and it was the best stuffed oysters in New Orleans. Also the chicken wings were large and awesome. Be sure to ask for aome sweet chilli sauce to top them. It was our best brunch in the city. We loved the Bayou Road vibes and good service.

I had a half of a crab egg roll 4/5 Catfish 10/5 delicous Eggs 10/5 Shrimp n grits ....4/5 cause that yellow stuff is some kind of cheese sauce Yes it was all very tasty I do recommend I had it with a cup of coffee

Customer service was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious and the best part is: THE DO NET SELL PORK! Food was delicious and a cozy atmosphere. Will absolutely return very soon!

Hidden gem!! We was so glad we found this place. We drove around to so many places before we found this place and it was amazzzinnggggg. First off it was only 1 server and she was doing it. She was so nice and accommodating and helpful. The cook was also coming from the back and helping out. On to this foood........ babyyyyyyyyy when I say everything SLAPPED! I mean seasoned and cooked to perfection!!!!!! The pictures didn't do it any justice. The French toast is top teir. The steak was so juicy and seasoned LAWD. I would 100% be back and if you ever in the area make sure you pull up on them. Great food and great experience

Delicious food and amazing service!! We came on a late night, was still craving breakfast for dinner. We called ahead and they accommodated all 8 of us. We were recommended the egg rolls, French toast and chicken, and shrimp & grits. Wow, i cannot recommend enough that you should try the chicken and French toast!! The toast is sweet, thin, crispy, mmm I could eat 5 of them. The grits were cheesy and flavorful. The egg rolls are saucy and well fried. Our servers were also so kind, welcoming, and helpful. Support this great small business!

Tried this restaurant for breakfast. We ordered the beef omelette and steak and eggs. Service was a little slow it took a while to get condiments from the waiter. They could have been short staffed which is understandable. They had a bar and I order their drink of the day. The food came out good.

My first trip to New Orleans and was excited to try some authentic Cajun/Creole. Upon resorting on Yelp for suggestions stumbled on Nonno's but let me say, it did not meet expectations. Initially searched address on Google only to find it closed, so had to go to their secondary address on here. Arrived on a Friday night only to find it completely empty which was odd but was hungry decided to settle. No physical menus, so have your phone out to QR away. Server told us about their special of étouffée- and when we decided to order that we were told it was unavailable... So we ordered a shrimp po'boy. Upon receiving our meals, I was disappointed, it was just okay nothing special. Po boy lacked flavor and was just a plain sandwich with lettuce, tomato and flavorless shrimp with a side of cold stale previously frozen crinkle cut fries. Price: $17 for a po' boy which was simply okay is on the higher end Would I recommend? Most likely not.

I adore this place! I love the fact that there is a menu for vegetarians and vegans AND there isn't a sacrifice on flavor. Our server was Nancy, who is super hilarious. I order the vegan cauliflower po boy. My friend ordered the steak omelette. The cauliflower po boy was excellent. Very filling! I can't remember the name of my drink but I DO remember that it was good. This is definitely a place that I would recommend for people with different dietary needs.

Had a late brunch here with a friend and her parents. Unfortunately, we had to sit outside due to a lack of wheelchair access. The tables outside are pretty small and also not the best for wheelchair users to situate under. As for the food, it was pretty good. I had the charbroiled oysters. They were loaded with seafood, especially crabmeat. The only thing that threw me for a loop was the cheddar cheese. While the oysters were still delicious, I think another cheese would have taken them to the next level. The French bread soaked in butter was EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, my friend and her stepdad did not enjoy their French toast. They'd been there before and had it; however, they were not pleased this time around. They said the French toast was overly cooked. Nonetheless, her mother enjoyed the white beans (special of the day) and they enjoyed the seafood fries. I enjoyed the music selection. It was mostly R&B. The customer service was excellent. They even offered to redo both French toast dishes. Our waiter, India, was a sweetheart. She was super attentive with a memorable personality. Overall, I'd definitely go back. Even though a couple things were off, I could tell that they put their heart and soul into their food. For me, this is definitely one of those restaurants worth a second try!

The food was great. My chicken wings were seasoned well and fresh. The server suggested we try the French toast without syrup & I'm glad she did. In my opinion, it was just right. I would try it again. The service was good and it didn't take long. It has a small, cozy dining area. There's street parking.

The atmosphere is wonderful and the smooth jazz in the background puts the cherry on the cake honestly. Hot sausage breakfast sandwich: amazing, I wish that it wasn't seasoned with anything because it doesn't need to be. Straight from the heart: Great, no complaints. Nonnos French Toast: to die for, it's the right amount of soft/crispy and it taste so good I would eat it everyday if I could. Vicky was an amazing server, and she always is. (Really everyone that works here is kind and welcoming.) Update : I went again for the third or fourth time (I added pictures) at this point I'm always in here cause everybody know my name now. Good food, good drinks, and good vibes per usual. This time I went I got the French toast ( again) I will be trying other foods one day but it never misses. Strawberry lemon drop Green apple crown daiquiri Peach Hennessy daiquiri( I think ) : but the drinks were fantastic had me right for happy hour.

We had the Chicken & French toast plus an order of seafood egg rolls. Both were amazing! The French Toast was great and didn't need any syrup. I think it was the bread they use for Po boys, which made it super crispy. The amount of cinnamon they used was perfect as well. The chicken was seasoned well, but on the smaller side. The egg rolls were bussin! Go ahead and order that for sure. Servers were friendly! They did forget our cocktail and didn't bring it out until after we had our food for awhile. Prices were a little high in my opinion for what you get, but I was on vacay no so biggie. The place is small, so a wait may happen on their busy days.

The place is very cozy and the staff is super friendly. I had the chicken and French toast, suggested by the server, and I was so glad I took her advice because it was out of this world. The chicken was perfectly seasoned & the French toast is so sweet and good, you don't even need syrup. 10/10 recommend !!

The homies and I decided to check out this spot tonight. We called ahead and got on waitlist. The restaurant called once our table was nearly ready. We headed in and Kevin was our greeter and server. Jelly was making us all kinds of drinks, mixes that weren't on any menu we saw. We had so many drinks and they we were lit lit LIT! So you can't go wrong with any of them. They even do a very tasty old fashion so check it out if you like those. We ordered po boys, pasta, egg rolls, catfish, fried chicken wings, fries and fried cauliflower. The food was good and we greatly enjoyed the vibe. The music had us singing and puttin on a show. That may have been the drinks tho. I mentioned we were Lit!

This was one of my favorite stops during my latest trip to New Orleans! Nonno's was on my bookmark list but I had no set plans to stop by. Then when I was picking up a few things at a local grocery store, the checkout woman kept raving about Nonno's and I was like omg it's on my list, now I definitely have to go! Sat at the bar for a weekday brunch stop. The bartender was awesome and gave me some complimentary champagne refills on my mimosa a few times, so that was double awesome. The place has a diner-esque feel, but don't let that fool you... the food sure packs a punch on the flavor! Had to get the shrimp and grits which were so freaking yummy. BUT THAT BISCUIT THO! It was seriously the fluffiest moistest biscuit I've ever had in my LIFE! That biscuit was the stuff dreams are made of, swoooon. So glad I ended up stopping here! Great service and great food!

I was looking for a dinner place to eat and came across this spot! I was excited to try it since it had good reviews, but my husband and I thought the food was just okay. I got the shrimp poboy and it was okay it was just a sandwich with shrimp. I will say the shrimp were tasty which was great! My husband got the shrimp plate and he said it was okay not anything that makes it stand out. I will say that our waitress was super sweet and Amazing! She attended us and was checking up on us! The spot is pretty small and the prices are a bit too much for what it is but overall I think it's an okay place.

I was hankering some fried food, but wasn't feeling the fast food vibe at Willie's Chicken Shack on Decatur. Thankfully I was patient and up for a little walk to this great neighborhood gem. Much nicer ambiance and serving some amazing food! Fried Catfish & Shrimp Platter: Fried to perfection! Thick, but not too thick batter. Dry and crispy exterior, moist interior. Some nice spices in the blend, but really gets activate when you pour on some Crystal's. The shrimp were particularly meaty with a nice chew. The catfish tasted fresh and not at all "fishy". Loved the garlic bread. But the crinkle cut fries were kinda bleh, like what you might get at a school lunch. Chicken & French Toast: Like the classic Chicken & Waffles pairing, but with a local twist. The French Toast had a nice sweet praline topping, so you almost didn't need any syrup. But I love syrup, so added a little anyway. The chicken is only wings, but 6 big ones so it's substantial. The batter there too was just right of not too thick and not too thin. The sweet and savory was great together.

A but if a walk away from the French Quarter, but it's absolutely worth the walk and more! My friend and I got the shrimp po-boy and the fried chicken and French toast. We also wanted the seafood eggrolls, but unfortunately it was sold out when we arrived. The shrimp and chicken were absolutely delicious, and the French toast is tasty, especially when paired with hot sauce haha. The staff was also so friendly, and really helped make it a special experience.

One of my favorite breakfast experiences while visiting NOLA this past week. My friends and I came here after our original destination around the corner was closed and were so happy we did. The service was fantastic our waitress was the sweetest and checked on us frequently even though they were pretty full. The food was on point and they served some of the best grits I had (and believe I tried many.) If pork is important to your breaks experience know that you won't find it here, both their sausage and bacon are turkey only. Come early as they can get busy on the weekends but are well worth a stop if you're in the area.

You have to try this man's French toast! The absolute best I have ever had. Great, relaxed atmosphere. They make you feel right at home. Everything we ordered was delicious...eggs, turkey sausage, grits. Wonderful people and service! Thank you!

Had a great experience trying Nonno's. We had the shrimp and grits and the hamburger poboy. Everything was delicious. The grits were some of the best I've ever had outside my home. Service was really good, too. Only giving it 4 stars because the drinks were very pricey in my opinion. Also wish there just a few more shrimp since they weren't particularly big. We will definitely be back.

GREAT FOOD. A must try, very generous with the seafood, super fresh! The atmosphere was good, I can't wait to come back and try more food! Definitely New Orleans style food, I truly enjoyed it. Met the owner and he was amazing and the bartender Patrice super nice & attentive!

Food was amazing, Red snapper was cooked great the star of the show was the vegetable medley of the day and the seafood fries Wait staff was new so no argument there food was cooked beautifully

Definitely worth a repeat visit! We were heading out after Mardi Gras and stopping to get our last daiquiri! We ended up with some delicious cocktail with diced fresh fruit, some homemade pralines, and seafood egg rolls. The seafood egg rolls were so tasty and plated with fresh spinach leaves. Owner/chef said that he'll be starting live music soon! We'll be back!

Been trying to come here when they were back on Dauphine! The breakfast burrito was amazing!!!! Coming from San Diego, having a really good breakfast burrito is what I miss the most. The meat was heavenly flavored and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I got the shrimp and grits. The grits were a little "hard" or not really "soft" like I would have liked, but other than that the shrimp and bell peppers realllyyyy made the dish pop! We had a new server so I can't fault her for forgetting to bring dishes and utensils. Irish was super sweet and tried her best! I recommend sitting outside on Sunday to watch the second line pass by. I'll give Nonno's another shot! The workers there from kitchen to clean up were so extremely nice and continuously kept checking on us to see if the food was great and if we were having a great time. I highly recommend trying out this place.

Nonno's: This black/family-owned spot is absolutely delicious! Shout out to Shermond (owner/chef). After selling plates for several years, he has established his own brick and mortar location. I love stories like his. The red beans and rice and catfish were . And a special, special shout out to beautiful STAR (our awesome waitress) for her hospitality and making us feel at home from the moment we walked in. She saw me grooving to the soundtrack and asked what I wanted to hear. So, Jill Scott, "Cruisin" is playing in pic three. Small local spots just offer a vibe that big chains are simply unable to match.

If you're looking for good oysters and moderate price food, Do Not Come Here. Worst experience ever. This establishment was extremely overpriced for mid level food. Waited over an hour and a half to receive our food. Catfish was okay. Others in my party felt the same about their entrees. There are not many sides to choose from. Chargrilled oysters were undercooked and extremely expensive, $47 for a dozen. Our waitress was okay, she was trying the best she could as she was the only server working the entire restaurant while we were there. Spoke with the owner about our dissatisfaction with the food and he made excuses. 0/10 -I would not recommend, nor will we be returning to this establishment.

Okay, we found our new favorite breakfast spot in New Orleans! This place was great. They serve a really great cup of coffee, not your ordinary coffee, rich and dark and strong! The food is great, as well. I had the breakfast sandwich and my husband had the french toast. We both really enjoyed our meal. Our server was great and the chef came out to meet us after we told them how much we enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be going back to this little place.

Sunday afternoon brunch after Krewe du Vieux parade night. What a pleasant surprise this place was! My companion had the seafood eggrolls, which were savory and fresh. I had the hot sausage breakfast sandwich. Delicious! Service was perfect!

Excellent service (star is a fantastic server) excellent food. We had the seafood egg rolls, fried shrimp & catfish (substituted grits w cheese instead of fries) and a amazing French toast w/ fried chicken wings. Everything was cooked perfectly and wasn't greasy. The cocktails were very good as well. Had a Nonnos signature & a touchdown baby. Will def be back.

This restaurant has a wonderful outdoor dining vibe. The Sunday brunch with Charmaine Neville is such a treat!!! I enjoyed the food as well!!

Terrible food. The food was all frozen that was reheated. Fries were frozen crinkle cut fries. Onion rings were frozen and reheated. Don't order the crab and shrimp eggrolls with cheese. We tasted and left them behind. Music out back was great.

This place is like a hidden gem! Tucked away in a residential area, Nonno's is very home-like with its cuisine and hospitality. We started with oysters and seafood egg rolls. Both were good, however the oysters were interesting because it was my first time having them with cheddar cheese. It added a little plot twist but was still enjoyable. The egg rolls were equally as good! I ordered the chicken and French toast. Oh. My. GOSHHH! It exceeded all my expectations. Everything was superb and tasted like it was homemade with love by someone's great-grandma. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and the French bread was a great usage for the hearty toast. I'm truly in awe still. My friend ordered a shrimp poboy and felt the same amazement as I did. I can't wait to come back!

This is a great brunch spot located in the City. Recently went here for brunch with a friend and I was not disappointed. As you know brunch spots can be a little crowded on Sundays, so I was pleasantly surprised when our table of 2 did not have to wait but was seated immediately. They do not have bottomless mimosas, but can you purchase a bottle of champagne and mixers for $25 which I think is a good deal. All of the food on the menu looked good but my friend and I decided to try the 'Straight from the heart' (sausage, buttered grits, 2 eggs and toast) and their signature French toast meal (French toast served with 2 eggs, a meat, and toast). All of our food was good! I was really impressed with the turkey sausage. This is a black owned establishment so that's always a plus. The service was A+, and the atmosphere was nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating plus a full bar. I will definitely be back.

We were staying quite close to hear near Frenchman St & we did a lot of walking, passing Nonno's on several occasions before stopping. They have indoor & outdoor tables & a small bar area. When I finally stopped on Monday afternoon my aim was to get oysters. The servers were busy, but friendly. They were totally out of oysters! Nooo! So I ordered a mimosa to go, & got their seafood egg rolls also to go, which we really enjoyed. The next day we ate late breakfast there. I had cheesy grits & eggs, but the biscuit was the best part- hot & fluffy. The turkey sausage patty was a tad overdone. They have lunch & dinner items too. If you want to support a local community Black owned business this is your place! Solid menu.

Everything was fresh hot and well seasoned . I had it door dashed and the restaurant had everything in the bag that we needed!

Tried the catfish platter, seafood fries, and seafood egg rolls - overall Food is average in flavor, and a bit pricey as well. The catfish was a bit different and I didn't love the after taste - you could taste the river. Service is really nice with a friendly NOLA vibe. Didn't have to wait long either. Ambiance would be nice and homey, if it wasn't for the loud mainstream music playing and often skipping, constantly taking you out of the nice chill NOLA afternoon vibe. We had to yell to talk to each other which isn't the vibe you want for a chill dinner. The indoor acoustics were also very loud and echoey.

I'm still thinking about those chargrilled oysters after 2 weeks. I'm so glad we decided to stop here after drinking on Frenchmen. The service was too notch. I can tell the neighbors really support this place. It's a hidden gem. And those drinks almost blacked me out. Totally worth every single cent.

Ordered the French toast with eggs, and hot sausage, along with oatmeal. Two bites into my eggs, I chewed on an unidentifiable piece of material- could have been plastic or a toenail. Those were the only two bites I had. Appetite was completely gone after that. I know the reviews for this place are great, but unfortunately after such an experience, I will not be returning.

Just had the gumbo with grilled cheese and it was amazing. Also had a wonderful daiquiri and rum bread pudding. Staff were professional courteous and efficient!!!! I will definitely be back!!!!! Loved the music playing in the background.

There is a real New Orleans vibe here. The food is great and the owner Sherman was friendly ,he came over and talked with us and took a few pictures he really made us feel at home. Also while we were there we even got to see a brass band.

On our first trip to NOLA, we had 4 poboys in 3 days and the ones here were the best. You need to get the seafood egg rolls, and DO NOT MISS their fries! Service was warm and friendly, and quick. It was easily accessible from the more touristy area, but felt like a neighborhood spot. Everything we tried was delicious, and even the vegetarians among us were happy (cauliflower poboy was fantastic).

Soooooo Yum!!!!! The egg rolls , the French toast that doesn't even need syrup . Small and cute atmosphere . Love the art and photography on the walls . And whatever the Jazzy playlist they had going was perfect Making it another staple when I come to my second home .

Nonno's has some great food options and they really do some great seafood dishes. This is a "Pork Free" restaurant so you can get some different flavors than a lot of the more pork centric options New Orleans has. They are also noted for their all day breakfast food here and they seem to be getting very popular with locals and tourists. Overall this is a great spot for breakfast or lunch and you should check this spot out. My video review of Nonno's Cajun Cuisine and Pastries is here: https://youtu.be/Xl3ZOWAgbDg

My husband, daughter & I went to Nonno's for breakfast. All of food was delicious. The wait staff was super nice and we had a great experience. That hot sausage egg and cheese sandwich was no joke. When they say hot sausage they mean that!!! It tasted like my grandmother made it. If you can do spicy I highly suggest it. My husband and daughter had the French toast. They said it didn't need syrup. That's saying a lot from them. I tasted a piece. It was really good. They don't serve pork products so the hubby was excited about being able to eat everything on the menu. There is only street parking so if you see a spot gone get in it. You really want to stop through here. It's delicious.

Fate led me to Nonno's for brunch today. My friend and I were immediately seated. Our server was incredibly sweet and helpful. I had the shrimp and grits as she recommended. My friend ordered the French toast breakfast. The food was delicious! Everything was hot and well-seasoned. The shrimp were so flavorful, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and the grits were creamy. Even the toast was yummy! On top of the incredible food, the vibe is incredible. It feels like home. I can't wait to return!

Highly recommend this establishment. Our server was awesome! We ate here 2x for breakfast. Food is flavorful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They also have karaoke!

The French toast and chicken is da BOMB. Hit this place twice during a five day visit because we were craving this dish again. The coating on the chicken is flavorful with wee bit of spice and has nice crunch. The French toast has a crispy sweet outside layer that doesn't even need syrup. Probably better without. Over easy eggs probably the best I've ever had. The "Chef" is super friendly and came out to talk with us and grabbed a photo with him. This corner restaurant is a must try. Wish there was one in DC.

The food was so good! We had the bread pudding, chicken with french toast, and the shrimp with grits. Pair the great food with amazing service from Starr, our waitress. A+++, we would be here every week if we were from the area. Definitely would recommend this place over the famous Gumbo Shop's food too. The bread pudding here was superior to Gumbo Shop's bread pudding!
