"This Uptown spot co-owned by Ti Martin and Darryl Reginelli serves a menu of fried chicken and picnic fixings, a childhood summer memory in a meal if there ever was one. There’s a great side patio at Picnic Provisions & Whiskey as well, very pet and kid-friendly." - Eater Staff
"This casual family and canine-friendly comfort spot from the folks at Commander’s Palace is open from Tuesday through Sunday with seating inside and out. Picnic Provisions & Whiskey lives up to its name — any outdoor repast would benefit from the likes of hot fried chicken thighs, muffuletta pasta salad, and an especially satisfying pulled pork sandwich. Yes, the whiskey drinks are good too." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Picnic Provisions and Whiskey — the name says it all. This Uptown casual offshoot of Commander’s Palace specializes in parties to go, with both sides and handhelds offered for pick up or delivery. Crawfish boil fried thighs or chicken tenders, offered in 8, 12, or 20 pieces ($42-$92), set the stage, with quarts of sides like Cajun potato salad, sugarcane slaw, and marinated mushrooms and artichoke hearts rounding out the menu." - Beth D’Addono
"Former Commander’s Palace chef Cory McPhail claims to have visited more than 80 fried chicken spots before landing on the recipe for his crawfish boil hot fried chicken for Picnic Provisions & Whiskey, a partnership between Commander’s Palace and Reginelli’s. Made using heritage boneless light and dark meat chicken and topped with a Crystal hot sauce “pulp,” this fried chicken is one of the spiciest on the map." - Beth D’Addono
"Picnic is closed for Christmas Day, but you can pop in on Christmas Eve to pick up necessaries like fried chicken, collards, and cornbread. Catering orders are available for delivery and carry out too — just in case you need some last-minute help. Sneak out of the house for a cocktail and catch happy hour prices from 3 to 4 p.m." - Clair Lorell
