Red Gravy

This place rocks it. From the time you walk through the door, till you leaving, it's a great experience. Staff is friendly but not pushy or in your face. Food is SUPER good and fresh and spicy without burning. Lots of flavor for sure, a New Orleans spot not to miss. Worth getting out and stopping in. Every time I'm in town, I stop in for breakfast. 2 thumbs up for sure...

We were looking for a unique breakfast and definitely found it at Red Gravy. I was first impressed by the chalkboard outside that said "Be nice, Hate is not welcome here" We were sat immediately and drink orders we filled promptly, a spicy bloody mary and a mocha coffee with added alcohol. We ordered the recommended breakfast spaghetti and meatball and a skillet cake. The spaghetti sauce was awesome and the meatball prepared perfectly. The skillet cake was something unique. It was like a warm coffee cake with added bacon and cheese. Very good indeed. We spent a few dollars and expected to do so with such a complete meal and drinks for brunch. We were full until dinnertime. Well worth it.

Amazed that this place was empty when we got here on a Saturday morning, while a nameless place with subpar food a few blocks away had a massive line. If you eat breakfast anywhere during your trip to New Orleans, make it Red Gravy. Lots of options to choose from and great coffee. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is excellent, and the message in the menu will make you want to tip extra. Loved my meal here. Wish I didn't waste my time at the other place.

Walking up to the place was great and inviting the inside is very inspirational and motivating. Was greated within 5 mins by Leroy who also happen to be our waiter. He has a great and welcoming attitude from start to finish. You can tell he is an employee who loves to be working here. When you visit ask for him and you get the best dine in experience ever in the New Orleans area. The place was clean and the bathroom is amazing with decoration and love. We order the chicken & biscuit and shrimp Grits. The food was amazing complements to the chef. Make sure you bring an appetite cause it is very ful filling. Mimosas are on point just the bang you need. Atmosphere is relaxing with great music that is upset but not crazy. I would Defiently come back on my next visit to this cafe.

Best food experience we had in New Orleans. Service was impeccable and food was wonderful. Even my picky 9 yo enjoyed the spaghetti with red gravy, cheese board and bread. I will go back again when in town. Very quaint.

Very attentive & chill. When you walk in it smells divine! Our server was very smart in suggesting the breakfast spaghetti for brunch & make sure to add the meatball y’all! Plus the other thing I really look for & was given was time & space to enjoy my meal. Thank y’all for making my Sunday! Red Gravy has earned a new client who will def travel his hour for their well made Italian dishes. #ItalianFoodFprTheSoul

I adored this tiny restaurant. Decorations are beautiful and the food is delicious. I ordered their Famous Nanni Meatballs and the red gravy was one of the most delicious ever. The only thing to mention is that the size of the sides are very small and because of that, overpriced. But the rest of the dishes are more than ok. Really good size Go and discover it.

Four of us arrived on a Saturday morning about 11:20 - which was our first mistake. The place was packed, but they claimed we could have a seat in 15-20 minutes. Lies. We talked with the others waiting who arrived after us and watched them get seated before us. Yes they were groups of two, but we actually saw the host split a table for 4 into 2 tables for 2 right in the window. Then the host said they were getting a table ready for us, but before he sat us another group showed up and was given that table. About 12:15 the host asked if we would sit at the bar, and we agreed. However the bar tender would not let our 16 and 18-year old children sit there. At this point I was well past ready to leave, but my wife was too hungry to walk anywhere else. Another 10 minutes pass and they finally sit us at a table. The seating is cramped and the place is loud. I assume if you get them on a day when they are not busy they can make good food, but our meals were clearly rushed and not cooked ideally. Would not go back as there are plenty of great places to eat within walking distance.
