Queens Cuisine

I don’t have pictures of the food because we dove in and never stopped. So delicious! So home-cooked comforting! 🥹❤️ The 6-year-old sang praises of the smothered chicken, greens, and red beans & rice. The older kids ate up the catfish & sides to their hearts’ content. One of us ate the fried chicken wings to the bone, slurped up the sides, and made the sweet cornbread disappear. Seriously everything was cooked to perfection!! We will be back!

This food was some of, if not the BEST food I have had in my life. When I say I lay in bed thinking of and dreaming about this meal I mean it. Queen has a heart of gold and Lord can she cook. Will be back anytime I am near the airport. Can not recommend enough!!

Do yourself a favor and come spend ya money here. This place tastes like grandmas house - Sunday after church- but BETTER. Mrs. Queen knows what she is doing. That food is made with love and blessed beyond measure. Go get you a plate ASAP and don’t be surprised if you gotta turn back around for seconds before you even make it home

While we were in New Orleans, my driver suggested this place for the type of food we were looking for. We went there, checked out the menu, and the prices seemed very reasonable. We ordered and the items that we ordered were some of the best we’ve ever had of those types of items. My wife ordered chitterlings and greens, I ordered red beans and rice. While the red beans and rice weren’t the type that I wanted they did taste very good. You can’t sit down in this place you have to order through a window while standing outside. I think that’s because they were remodeling the interior. You can’t go wrong by ordering here if you want soul food.

Ms. Queen's service was fantastic. Very friendly and nice. Plates are hearty for the price. We tried the red beans and rice, loaded potatoes, and fried pork chop. Everything was good and appeared fresh. I just felt the pork chop lacked seasoning. Overall I would recommend a visit here

Ordered lunch, got the stuffed fish special with greens and Mac and cheese. Best soul food I've ever eaten! Such a huge amount too! I still have left overs after eating off of it for both lunch and diner. Definitely going to be returning whenever I want some good home style cooking!

Absolutley excellent soul food. The food tasted great. My hubby enjoyed his. The Obama drink was very good. The stuffed bellpepper was stuffed and baked to perfection. The seafood stew and yams and greens were like granny's. She was pleasant and thanked us for visiting. It was our first time and it felt like we had been there many times before.

Me and my best friend went and had some amazing food!! We love a good plate lunch and it was one of the best we've had!!! Queen was so nice and welcoming!! We def will be back!!

I can't rave about this place enough. The food is superb!! I honestly can't wait to try everything on the menu. And the owners! Omg they are the best and what makes going even more enjoyable.

I will say this is about my level of cooking skill and perfectly balanced all seasonings. It worth to stop by and get one for yourself

Food was pretty good, however the functionality of the business could be a bit better. There's no inside seating, you can order via the side window or via phone. I was unaware of this at first which resulted in me ordering upon arrival and sitting in my car while the food was being prepared. Perhaps they should consider posting their menu online and not just on a chalkboard outside so customers can easily view the menu ahead of time. The best and freshest fried chicken I've had in a very long time! Not pictured- side of yams, they were "meh", nothing to write home about at all

The food was very flavorful! I ordered DoorDash and the order came within a reasonable time. I didn't get my cornbread and they substituted my dessert, but I will definitely order from them in the future. If you're near the New Orleans airport, I suggest you stiv

QC was recommended to me by my co worker JC last week. So I put it on my NOLA Hit List. Went after work on Friday and definitely was surprised how small the place was. Well I must say after ordering just about everything on the menu... QC is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Probably the best soul food I've had since being in NOLA. The fried chicken with cheese pasta and yams with peas was delicious. The red beans and rice was superb. The corn bread was bar none the best. The customer service was impeccable. The Hungry Hardhat has made an official Yelp Proclamation... Queens Cuisine is a must try when in NOLA. QC has made my Platinum List hands down. Note: I ordered so much food they couldn't fit it through the window...LOL So let it be written.... So let it be EATEN!!!

Always a smile and good service from the people who work here. The food is always fresh and hot! I have never had a problem with eating here.

Food is excellent. The peas are out of this world. Yes, I said peas. They are delicious as well as the fish, red beans, white beans, stuffed catfish and Mac and cheese which is made with spaghetti noodles instead of the traditional way. Ms. Queen is a sweetheart and will treat you right and fill your belly with some good cooking.

This was definitely good and will be back the red beans were good and the fish was amazing I didn't care too much for the Mac an cheese

We parked down the street walked to the window and were blown away by the warm welcome and wonderful smile. Thank you Queen for the recommendation and your beautiful story.

Go here if you'd like to take a nap after your lunch break. Just great food. The Catfish is some of the best I've had and the Red Beans are also great. Everything is well seasoned, which is the highest compliment I can give. Call ahead about 15 mins before you want to pick it up.

Delicious, freshly cooked food. Very friendly and welcoming. The portions are large and very satisfying.

The Fried Porkchop is a must with here mac n cheese, potato salad, green peas, and her HOT CORNBREAD! She is so nice and this is by far the best Soul Food I've had in a LONGTIME! Thank you for making good soul food!! Can't wait to come back soon!

My big back besties and I wanted to try a new spot. We ordered 2 platters to try. The customer service was great. The lady taking the orders was extremely sweet and kind. Platter 1 I was told their specialty was the crab stuffed catfish. We got a stuffed catfish platter with 2 sides (white beans & potato salad. The catfish tasted good, but the stuffing was not good to me or my fellow big backs. The dressing was on a thicker side. It felt like peanut on the roof of my mouth. It also lacked a "seafood" flavor. The crab meat was there, but it only tasted like cornbread. I would definitely recommend using either some seafood stock in the stuffing or maybe even some lobster base. It just tastes like plain cornbread dressing. I wish it had more of a seafood taste, but it tasted like thick bread. The white beans were SUPERIOR. Loved them so much. Definitely the star of our meals. Lastly, the potato salad. I do not mean to be harsh, but this was the worst potato salad that I have ever had. It seriously tasted like there were three ingredients: POTATO, MUSTARD (a ton), and RELISH. I hated it so much. It was very potato-y and extremely sour from the mustard. I also really hated the texture. It was more like a scoop of mashed potatoes. No chunks, just very smooth/smashed. I guess it depends on your upbringing, but my family always left a few little chunks of potato and we always had eggs, onion & bell peppers in ours. I get everyone does not put egg in their potato salad though. The 2nd Platter: Fried Chicken w/ 2 sides (macaroni & white beans) Of course the beans were amazing, but that chicken. My God. This was some of the BEST chicken I've had in awhile. It was delicious. Finger licking good lol. Now we all collectively agreed that the macaroni looked like baked spaghetti but it did not taste like it at all. We did not like it. Idk what exactly to say besides we just didn't like it. It had a taste that I just can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if there's a specific spice or what, but we did not care for it at all. Overall 3/5 stars. I'd come back for a fried chicken and white bean platter any day, but that would be it for me. Thank you for the experience.

I don't even know where to begin with this absolute gem hidden in Kenner by the airport. I was made aware of this place from Devin on his RB&R day review earlier this year. It took me a minute to get here, but If you haven't been here you need to run don't walk!! Queen's Cuisine is more than just amazing soul food, it was an experience. The owner Ms Queenie goes out of her way to make you feel like family as soon as you walk up to the window to order. We talked before and after ordering and it felt like I knew her already. There is a back story here about her son and the restaurant he always wanted her to have. Sadly he was murdered in New Orleans in 2014 and there hasn't been any justice. She cooks this food with pure love straight from her heart to honor his name. The red beans, potato salad and fried fish was outstanding. The fried fish was hot and crispy. Beans are hitting and full of flavor. Don't even get me started on the cornbread! I also got another plate of beans for my wife with the pork chop and that was equally as great! Took home the fried chicken, peas and Mac and cheese for my son and he devoured it! I couldn't leave without a plate of soul food so I made sure to get the Mustard greens with rice, baked chicken and yams. If you don't know about this you better ask somebody and go see Queenie. She will be waiting to serve you with love! I can't wait to go back and try more of her delicious soul food!

This place is amazing. Miss Queen served a plate of the best red beans with shrimp mirliton and yams. The red beans and rice were creamy and pack a lot of meat. The mirliton was flavorful. I can't wait to go back.

Best red beans I've ever had. We got it to go and ate it right outside in the parking lot. We ate all over the city and it was by far the best meal. Corn bread was on point!

The owner of this restaurant is the best. I got the red beans and rice with fried chicken and pasta and omg it was delicious. I will definitely buy my food from this restaurant from now on. I'm glad to know about this place. I really recommend this restaurant. the food is fresh and delicious.

Kenner's best kept secret!!! Do yourself a favor and go see Queen and her family, from the service to the food you'll feel right at home. Worth every penny.

Authentic soul food like Mydear used to make. I've eaten here often and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended

I didn't know this place existed until I saw it on social media with the red beans guy. Here I am for the second day in a row because their chicken and red beans were so dang good, I had to try something else on the menu asap. Ms. Queen is an unbelievably nice woman and you can tell her love is in the cooking. Pictured is the white beans and pork chop. They were equally as good, if not better than the red beans!

I heard about Queen's from the guy on Twitter who does red beans around the city, and I am so glad I did. I had the chicken and red beans with macaroni. The chicken (wings) was PERFECT. Delicious seasoning and cooked exactly right. The beans are what brought me in, and let me tell you, I have never had better, and I can't imagine how they could possibly be any better. Creamy and delicious. Big chunks of ham, including a ham bone. I wanted to cry tears of joy, and then sadness when they were done. The macaroni was so good, with a touch of spice that I've never had in macaroni but I want all the time now. Everything is made to order, so expect a little bit of a wait, but it's worth it. The only downside for me was the cornbread is very sweet. It's almost a desert, but I ate it first. It was good, just not what I was expecting.

* Whewwww!!! I was craving some soul food before my 30 day detox. I searched yelp and this is one of the places I chose to go. I was unaware it was "to go" only. You go to a small window in the side to order. You have to bend down to even see in to order, they need a bigger window. Anyhoo ... I ordered the beans & rice with chicken wings, and an extra cornbread. The food!!!!! My Geeze!!!! It was sooooooo good! Only thing that disappointed me with the food was my dang cornbread was COLD!! It was wrapped in saran wrap. If that was the arm, all would have been FIRE!!!! . So I sat in the parking lot and at 1/2 my food and saved other 1/2 for later. As I continued my trip, I had to grab some more to eat from my plate! It was sooo good! . Any fast forward... my body didn't want me eating so much sodium & meat, and 2 cornbreads... I paid for that good meal! I was sick as a baby calf all night throwing up. :-( .... I knew my body would possibly reject it, but it was good @ H$!! While I was eating it! :-) LOL . If you're looking for some TRUE soul food... THIS IS YOUR STOP!! Oh and you can order ahead I was told, so you don't have to wait when you bc arrive. . Happy Soul Food Eating!! :-))

Consistently delicious southern food. Feels like eating a home cooked meal. Friendly service too!

Had the pleasure of stopping by this restaurant as I had a taste for crawfish bisque. It was okay the gravy was a bit thick. But the Mac n cheese and seafood platter was absolutely delicious! The fish and shrimp were fried to perfection. The restaurant is closed due to covid 19 but you can place order by phone or wait In line. Please practice patience and wait an addl 20 minutes for fried food. Can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu.

The customer service here is top notch. Southern hospitality at its finest. The food is absolutely superb. I've had the seafood stew on Thursdays. Oh my gosh, my plate was so loaded. It tasted amazing. Today I had the fried fish, baked spaghetti, peas, and potato salad. Everything was popping with flavor. If you want down home cooking you have to stop here. You won't be sorry.

Treated like family! Food was AMAZING! Customer service was out of this world. If you pass this place up searching for soul food from some place else, you've missed a treat and your taste buds will NEVA forgive you for it!

My husband and I flew into New Orleans, and instead of going directly to our hotel, we stopped here first. That stuffed bell pepper...that red beans and rice...no words.

Truly one of the best hot plates I've ever had. The fried fish was sooo crispy and well seasoned, the red beans were flavorful and cooked well. Will absolutely be going back!

You would never know it from looking at it. This was the best food we had in New Orleans. The food that comes out of this little building with just a walk up window was amazing. The fish, fried chicken, gumbo and greens, All of it was absolutely delicious!!

Food was delicious and service was great. Everything was great. Tasted just like my grandma's cooking. And the portion size was enough for now and later. I will be back for red bean Monday.

Mz. Queen has GOT IT. The food was exceptional but most importantly she was as well. We had fried shrimp platter, stuffed peppers, and fired pork chop. The mini sweet potato pie was everything I thought it would be. Every time I come into town I will be saying hello. Her story is very touching and her son is rejoicing knowing how she is impacting everyone's life one plate at a time. Thank you!

The best soul food you will find in the Née Orleans area. I was born and raised here and this is authentic southern soul food at its best. Mac and cheese, baked macaroni, fried seafood, y'all the greens are the best! Everything I've had here is amazing! Crawfish bisque, Obama punch and the sweet potato pies are my favorite. Best owner/service and staff. Don't skip this place! An extra plus-it's local family owned and operated and there couldn't be a better family running it.

Yall.. I just left here and Im at a loss for words , but I will do my best . This is hands down the BEST southern food Ive had and Ive been to a good share of so called southern food restaurants. Me and my bf decided to stop at Queen's by recommendation of our lyft driver and omgggg we so glad we did!! We are from cali and knew coming to new orleans we wanted some real authentic down south cooking and Queens more than surpassed Our wildest food dreams! If you from NOLA/Kenner or from outta town looking for somewhere to eat, please Look no further , THIS is the place you looking for !! Not only is the food delicious but queen and her staff gave extraordinary customer service and were attentive to all our needs ! Thank you again Queen for taking care of us ! This will be by go to when Im in town

Amazing hospitality and soul food!! Highly recommend! I will definitely be back in the future when I'm working near NOLA!

On our way back to MSY we decided to stop off for an afternoon lunch. We were greeted by the owner of the restaurant, with open arms and a huge smile. She told us the specials and we were sold! I got the catfish and man oh man was it delish. The home cooked white beans and rice were also delish, as well and the Mac n cheese. Others got the stuffed cat fish with crab salad. The reason for the name is due to the owner or the owners daughter was crowned Miss Queen in a pageant. You can see the photo of the Queen right behind the counter. I will definitely be back when I go back the the crescent city who dat!

When you step through those doors you feel as though you are at home. No fancy table cloths or fancy seating. Just magical food that is freshly prepared when you order. The atmosphere reminds me of my mother's dining room when you walk in and she has been cooking all day, just the smells alone where enough to take me back 15 years. This by far is some of the best food that is fairly priced in New Orleans, I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Soul food at its best, excellent experience highly recommended. I stopped here with my son, we both enjoyed our meals

The weekend of October 11th while in New Orleans I had the pleasure of dining in a little small quaint restaurant on Airline Hwy in Kenner. Upon entrance I was greeted with a warm welcome by the Queen herself. Immediately I felt like I'd stepped into someone's southern dining room with the aroma of seasonings and herbs mingling in the air. There is bistro style seating and tables with protective plastic covering. There is a window a/c unit that competes with the afternoon heat. , Ok, now on to the good part. There is a small steam table with steaming hot entre's and side items. On this day there was mac & cheese (N'awlins style w/spaghetti pasta), collards, rice, sweet potatoes (not drunk in sugar), and other southern veggies. Entre's were stuffed bell pepper, stuffed crawfish étouffée', fried pork chop, ribs, fried catfish, crab meat stuffed fried catfish, and seafood gumbo. The menu rotates daily. You get an entre' and 2 sides. It all looked so good with steam coming from each item (you know I like my hot food hot), I was so indecisive on what to order. The Queen told me, "take a seat and let me feed you". You don't argue with the Queen, I think that would be disrespectful so my son and I took a seat. We were immediately brought our drinks and corn bread. Shortly there after, there was a processional line of food coming to our table. I was in awe!!!!! Total disbelief!!!!! I had the best fried catfish I've had since I moved away from New Orleans 24 yrs ago. The filets were huge and didn't have that ole nasty taste of dirt like big catfish often have. It was fried perfectly golden brown, picture perfect. The Queen obviously filters her oil, because there was not one brown speck and the fish was tender and delicious!!!! The stuffed catfish is also fired and stuffed with a crabmeat dressing (also known as stuffing to some of you). It too, was delicious and well seasoned. The greens were perfectly cooked with pork that was neither salty or fatty. The mac & cheese made with spaghetti pasta was creamy and cheesy and perfectly baked. I had gumbo that had a nicely seasoned roux with excellent color and flavor, full of shrimp, sausage, and crab claws. The pork chop was fried golden brown and tender. My son devoured the étouffée' and was amazed by the stuffed crawfish heads that were stuffed with ground beef and maybe a seafood filling; swimming in a tomatoy roux that was nicely seasoned. All in all this is the spot you tourists need to come instead of the expensive traps in the quarter and on Canal St. This is real food, nothing processed, prepackaged. fatty or salty, This is a prime example of REAL New Orleans food at reasonable prices that don't hurt your wallet. Daily specials are less than $12. You can't beat it. The service is superb and the food is out of this world! Get there and let the Queen love on you!

Hidden gem in Kenner. The catfish is above amazing and the Mac and cheese was rich and creamy. Also ordered the red beans and chicken. The chicken is the best on this side of the City. There was so much meat in the red beans it could have been a meal in itself. The owners were so nice I will definitely be visiting again I need to try the greens next!! Highly recommend.

BLACK OWNED AND BLACK EXCELLENCE found right in the heart of Kenner, LA! I'm so happy to have found this delicious place! Not only is the owner there in the flesh, she exceeded my customer service expectations!! Felt like I needed an immediate nap after stuffing myself, needless to say the food was ! Please support this business!

Be aware there is very limited parking my husband and I ate here he had red beans and fried chicken and cornbread all was great I had the stuff bell pepper plate which was bland macaroni cold stuffed bell pepper was only ground beef and shrimp for the price it needs crabmeat and Cajun seasoning now the greens and cornbread was the best thing on my plate will be back just not for the stuff pepper

Good Soul Food in The Neighborhood Wife and I went here to try it out on a groupon and we were happy with the service, food and the cleanest of the establishment. I ordered the greens and white beans with fried chicken and wife ordered the fried fish with baked mac. All of the food was very tasty and we will visit again for other meals. The staff is very pleasant and friendly like you would expect from southern style cooking people.

So so awesome. Best soul food I've had. Extremely nice people that do it all so well. I'm still yet to branch out from my plate of seafood stew, smothered cabbage, greens and mac because every time I eat it I'm beyond satisfied. Conveniently right by the airport I stop every time I come in or out of Nola.

Another Soulfood joint that many Enterprise Drivers been telling me about. Its located on Airline Drive so it can be hard to miss when Flying through. Once again, I came here on lunch break and boiiii was it good. My advice to you all is to order over phone before going to make sure you have enough time to eat it. Now if you not at work, omg it's worth the wait~~~ !!! You gotta try the Obama Punch because it taste like Kool Aid. I enjoyed every minute of my plate! My white beans was really good and well seasoned. My chicken was so freaking good ad seasoned the right WAY! The spaghetti and cheese is really good. I enjoyed my plate and punch! I will be back again!!

Desperate to grab some southern food after a long day traveling we stopped in here. Now I like rustic. And traditional. This stretched it a bit. But all the signs were there, kitschy decor? Check. Buffet table with unlabeled sides? Also check. Unbelievably welcoming lady behind the counter? Double check. I still had some reservations but I ordered the cat fish, Mac and cheese (spaghetti?) and sweet potatoes. So what would befall this poor wayward traveler? Not bad food actually. Everything was really pretty good. Not sure I would go out of my way... but if authentic is the goal, then this is it. Also, it's attached to a mechanic shop. FYI.

This place is a diamond in the rough. I walked in one night a half hour before closing and think this is the best southern cooking I have ever had.I had the fried pork chop, stuffing, greens and rice with some cornbread. I could eat this every day! The Queen puts a lot of love in her cooking. It'll make you happy.

Very flavorful food and you are certainly to get your money's worth. My only hope they will locate in an area to dine in and will be able to contract more customers.

If you are looking for a delicious and reasonably priced plate lunch place, Queen's Cuisine is an excellent choice. I had the lasagne with mac & cheese and corn. Don't go expecting an Italian lasagne.This is soul food: tasty, filling, generously portioned and warming to the heart. There's no filler like ricotta cheese. It's very meaty, slightly sweet like a sloppy joe, and made with a yellow cheese, possibly American. It's very much like something my non-Italian mom would make. The mac & cheese is spaghetti in a spicy (maybe Tony Chachere's?) white cheese sauce. It is way better than the stuff from the box. The ladies who work there are very nice. They accept credit cards and Apple Pay. When I asked for a menu to take with me, I was given one of the laminated ones from a table (I'm bringing it back on lasagne day since I scanned it in and shared it around my office). This is a place proves that food doesn't have to be fancy or garnished to the nines (seriously, what's with everything around here having green onions all over the food?) to be thoroughly enjoyable. I gave it only 4 stars out of 5 because of 3 things: parking is chaotic as it seems to share space with the mechanic next door (you may get blocked in) and it's a very small lot; there are only a few tables and they are rather close together; and I would have liked more vegetable choices. That last one is mostly me being picky. I'm not a fan of greens (turnip, mustard or otherwise) and, in all honesty, I only noticed that there were other veg choices when I read the laminated menu back at my desk but I do remember that I wished there had been black-eyed peas or butter beans and that the green beans could be had as a side (I will ask on Wednesday). In summary, I, a substantial woman who works in film (this place is so close to Quixote Studios), really like Queen's Cuisine and plan to eat there again. More than once. You should, too.

Pretty good food. It's a good spot if you want a similar taste to some good ole southern cooking. Some of the items (i.e., yams, crawfish bisque) I am not a fan of, but that's only because they either don't taste fresh (as in canned food) or not seasoned/cooked to my liking. I usually like her fried chicken and greens dinner and her gumbo is pretty good. The owner has such a pleasant vibe and I can tell that she does her best to nurture her establishment. I advise everyone to try one of her specials, especially if you are heading to the airport and won't be in proximity with southern food for a while!
