Tchoup Shop

I was searching for a beer place with some food options when i discovered the Tchoup Shop. The place is on a corner on Wykoff ave. You may drive by and not even see ot. It is dimly lit and intimate. It has an old fashioned look and appeal. The bar is fairly large and they have communal tables in the front. In the back, you have more private tables. We sat down in the bar area near the back and met Anais the bartender. What a nice person. I got Founders beer onntap and my friend had a nice hurricane. The restaurant is Creole themed. With a small kitchen run by 1 person. The cook really gets things out at a good pace. Ordered the mac and cheese amd the kale salad to start. Both were good. They played an assortment of music to match any crowd. The place has a really nice vibe to it. The most famous item on the menu is the crispy breast of chicken on focccia type bun. I maybe incorrect with the description. The kale salad may a little small but its full of flavor. Nice mix of onions, cranberries and other things really brings out the flavor of the kale. All in all, a really good spot to grab a quick bite and a brew. They also have a huge assortment of liquors including bourbons, tequilas etc. The staff is very friendly, and you will have a nice time here.

This is such a cute place, and the service was great. We had so much fun with the Korean BBQ! It was a generous portion and really delicious 😋

Good food, terrible service!!! I went to this restaurant last night to pick up my order and was disrespected by the bartender. After I entered the restaurant I had to wait 10 minutes or so for my order, which wasn’t a problem. After my order was done being prepared, it was handed to the waitress, who then handed it to me along with the handheld scanner for payment. I kindly tapped my card on the small screen for payment, selected no tip(because I wasn’t served), and signed for completion. After I was done signing the scanner, the waitress pulled the scanner away and says, “WOW, no tip,” rolls her eyes, walks away, and slams the scanner on the counter. I’m not sure why or when we as America developed this concept that we deserve a 18% tip just because and I hope that bartender never treats anyone like that again. But as a reminder- My order was for pick up. I was not seated or waited on.

This was such great find, definitely tops my list for best louisiana food in NYC. It has always been a struggle to find restaurants which offer the authentic taste of louisiana cuisine in NYC, so looks like my search has finally come to an end. Looking at the pictures, we specially saved one Saturday to visit Tchoup. We arrived around noon and the place was bustling with brunch crowd. We didn't had to wait long for a table. Tchoup is divided into two sections, first section has the bar and some seating...the backroom has majority of seating for sit down meals. We ordered duck okra gumbo, crispy chicken biscuit and jambalaya. Gumbo and crispy chicken biscuit were out of this world, just plain delicious. They were finger licking good. Texture and flavors of the crispy chicken biscuit was one of the best I have had till date. Jambalaya though good but was on a dry side. Overall food and service was on point, definitely a great spot for brunch. They have DJ's on thursday nights which adds up one more reason to swing by here!!

Great cajun menu options, great use of spices and all the classic NOLA ingredients. They also have outdoor bbqs every weekend in the summer. I recommend you bring a cot to prepare for the resulting food coma.

Best Cajun in NYC hands down. I've been to all the other spots and my family is from New Orleans. We know Cajun and Tchoup Shop is it. They take their name from the famous culinary destination in NOLA, Tchoupitoulas St. Seriously, eat here.

Solid food and good prices. Deviled eggs, boudin balls, jambalaya and crawfish mac n cheese all pretty decent.

Food was absolutely superb. Authentic taste and very fast service. Will definitely go back again.

I guess this is what happens when I visit a place years after originally bookmarking it. I wanted to try the oysters and boudin balls, but the current iteration of the menu is missing all of those things. What's listed online (check the Heavy Woods website) is also a lie. I saw no oyster po'boy, smoked brisket sandwich, smoked chicken sandwich, mashed potatoes and country sausage gravy... absolutely none of that. The catfish po'boy was subpar. The breading was too crunchy and abundant, and the bread itself was hard and scratchy. I got a free Yelp check-in mini cup of chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, which had decent flavor, but was a little boring and watery. The Brussels sprouts with maple paprika glaze had a few great glazed, crispy pieces, but most of the other pieces tasted like they'd been cooked plain and dumped into the same bowl. Not sure how that could've happened. This was my first and last visit.

I love this place. I used to have my studio right around the corner and they're always open and friendly with a hot bowl of gumbo waiting for me. Everything else is delicious but I will always come back for the gumbo.

Not really a place for people of color. The food was OK. The service was horrible. You have to order at the bar. So you have to get up and order your food at the bar and even though you have to do all of that by yourself, one of the server who did not serve me had the audacity to complain about my five dollar tip when I pretty much did everything for myself. Expect cook the food which I did pay for!

Yum! I'd been craving some good creole/cajun food for a while, so Tchoup caught my eye when I was searching for lunch places in the Bushwick area! Since my friend also mentioned that he'd had his eye on this place for a while, we agreed to check it out! Despite the freezing cold, I'm glad that I ventured out this way. As others have mentioned, it shares a space with the Heavy Woods bar (remind you of any particular NOLA po' boy shop??), and during lunch we were given the option of sitting in the dining area in the back or sitting at the bar area up front. The only issue with sitting in the bar area is that you have to order at the bar, which isn't a huge deal at all. Plus, lighting is much better in the front. The menu is inclusive of most popular cajun/creole dishes. I had the chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya, cheese grits, and a piece of my friend's battered catfish from his po' boy. Don't be fooled by the small serving size of the jambalaya (cup) - it is very heavy and will most definitely fill you up. My friend's battered catfish po' boy was a great option too. The catfish was really well done! It was super crispy but not burnt or overly greasy. If you are here with a group, I'd definitely recommend ordering their appetizers/sides to share. The cheese grits I shared with my friend was the perfect little somethin' extra for our meal and we were both able to enjoy it along side our own dishes without wasting any food! I will definitely be back to try out their brunch menu!

The restaurant wasn't bad and it wasn't great. It was in between. We passed this place because it actually says something completely different, there's no sign that says Tchoup Shop, I forgot what it said - but it wasn't that. We had a variety of food, the burger was incredible. I was really satisfied about that. The prices are CRAZY EXPENSIVE. That is one main reason I wouldn't come back. It's nice they have outside seating and a gatorade cooler to fill your water with.... Random, but different, and so much better than waiting for the staff to come around and fill your cup while you're dying of thirst. We didn't like the Gumbo so much, but that was the most disappointing thing. It didn't have much flavor and my cook of a friend said it tasted like something that just came out of a can, which he was right. Like I said, everything was delicious but I wouldn't come back due to the prices and small portions of food.

I honestly didn't even think this was the place, I thought it was just a bar. I had this place bookmarked for a while since I love Cajun/Creole food and I have been trying to find something similar in the New York area. I thought Tchoup Shop was just OK, I think the biggest issue I had with all the dishes was the salt factor. The food: Gumbo- This came along with a Yelp check in which was awesome. It was one of the better Yelp offers but I think it came off rather salty and it was kinda too mild in flavor, I did enjoy the piece of duck, though. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=PbWgDLf69z3-gLAPATvwAg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Brisket-Duck Liver Boudin Balls- Creole mustard, handmade pickles. I am a big fan of boudin but the ones here were just OK. The flavor wasn't really pronounced. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mpLVTBTSQh9r6v-UWbn44A&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Shrimp N' Grits- Bacon, hedge hog mushrooms. I enjoyed the overall flavor of the shrimp and grits but it was salty for me, I also thought the texture of the polenta was way too thick. I did, however, really enjoyed the shrimp and the bacon was also a nice addition. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mF3weEsK2ncLX9t-ecd0vg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Red Eyed Bandit- Eggs, tasso, biscuit n' sausage gravy. I thought this dish was going to be an automatic winner, it was also one that the waiter recommended, I liked the flavor of the dish but it came off pretty heavy and greasy. The chicken cutlet was nice with the gravy but there wasn't a lot of flavor and the gravy was salty. I did enjoy the biscuit. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=sKuOH7vqzR_uviCAJ9QPMg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA

The bartender and the chef are cool asf and make the world go 'round... I'll be back, because my time was well spent (head and tummy are happy) xo

Gah, I hate to do this, but if you're going for New Orleans style food there are better options. I've been back about three times since and nothings lived up to my initial experiences. The cheesy crawfish bread was bland- everything in fact was in need of more seasoning but none could be found on the tables. The Holy Shitake was the biggest let down, and nothing on the menu indicates that it will be less than amazing. But there's nothing to really hold the dish together. Eggs, gravy, grits: it's all soft items that blend and bleed into each other. The pork belly confit doesn't soak any of that up, it just sits on top, loose and disjointed, and somehow even the biscuit remains hard and unyielding when immersed in this pile of goo. That being said, the gumbo is still really good and their pickles are delicious. They also play REALLY good music, so I think if you're hankering for a cool spot with some Abita and a bowl of gumbo, you'll do fine, but I wouldn't come here specifically for the food.

So apparently this place is also called Heavy Woods and there's no signage for Tchoup Shop. Which made me feel like an a-hole because I was standing in front of the correct spot for over five minutes while looking at my Yelp app for confirmation. Thankfully, the bartender came outside and rescued me from my agony. I'm guessing he's used to this happening. On the other hand, it had this mysterious, secret society vibe going on. Boy, did I feel titillated! I had the crispy chicken biscuit, which was small in stature but big in taste (desperate attempt at sounding like a real food critic). It was extra saucy, which I didn't mind because the sauce was heavenly. I even did that thing where you dip your fingers in the sauce residue on your plate because you ran out of any bread to absorb it. In related news, I'm a slob. The beer I had (Gun Hill Divided Sky IPA) was tasty and the bartender was nice enough to let me get a sample of it before I committed. In his words, "we're like an ice cream parlor, but without the lil spoons".

Last week I visited Tchoup Shop and the food solid, but the service was disappointing. Tchoup shop offered a pretty good cajun menu. I tried the blackened chicken sandwich ($14) that came with a delicious slaw on a brioche bun, plus a side of chips with a great seasoning. I also got the famous buttermilk biscuit ($3), which came with red pepper jelly. It was flaky and rich, plus the red pepper jelly added a nice touch. I sat at the bar, where I normally get faster service compared to sitting at a table. Service started out okay, but did not continue. It was difficult to get refills on water and get the bartender's attention for the check. I noticed a few people had to double check on their drinks since the bartender forgot to make them. I understand the bar was busy, but if I return I would hope to see significantly better service. The food was definitely a solid 3 stars, but I dropped my rating to a 2 star considering the combination of food and service.

I've had this place bookmarked forever and finally had the chance to go for brunch the other day. It was a bit chilly for me so I wanted to sit inside but there are definitely many outdoor seats. The outside says Heavy Woods and not Tchoup Shop - kinda confused about that. I've been to NOLA before and this place was quite a letdown. This place did not satisfy my cajun craving at all. Ordered the Lucky Lubbock - eggs, chicken fried pork steak, biscuit and country sausage ($16), which seemed a bit steep for the portion size and the location. The chicken fried pork steak was extremely dry even with all the gravy on top. Best part was the biscuit. I wasn't a fan of the jambalaya and the gumbo as they were lacking essential flavors. The gumbo, though, was watered down and had an awkward consistency. Won't be back here again when I have the NOLA cravings!

My buddy is from New Orleans and I've been dying to try Tchoup Shop. I tell him, listen I have this place that has some outrageous creole food. Except its in Brooklyn. Where in Brooklyn? Don't worry, you're with me, I'm Mister Brooklyn! (I don't tell him years ago Bushwick was a place where my grandfather got mugged. It's all hipsters now) So we're driving in Bushwick at night in this industrial looking neighborhood. I see a bar among the gray buildings. This is it! This is it? A bar. You're taking us to a bar that has cajun food? Yup. It's Brooklyn! Sure enough, we walk through a bar (Hipsters everywhere) and in the back is the restaurant or dining area if you will. We sit and they are rockin' the music! I order a happy hour Left Hand Milk Stout to get the party started. Appetizers are ordered. I ordered the Fried Pork Belly. If this sounds crazy to you, its the most sane thing in the world. Its a decadent dish that's fatty and meaty. Oh, it was so good and I highly recommend this dish for the first time you come to Tchoup Shop. We all order their signature biscuits. My southern bud orders a seafood Po Boy. I ask him: Is it good? Just like home? (Repeat 20 more times) I ordered the Duck Gumbo. The Duck Gumbo is good! Spicy and flavorful, its just spot on. Here's the kicker, my entire meal was under $30 bucks. (I love you Tchoup Shop chef) We both wanted to try their shrimp and grits dish but they were out of shrimp. Out of shrimp? Go to the jerk store! (Sorry, Seinfeld joke) The waiter, total hipster. Didn't write anything down and tells me I ordered a chicken biscuit. I tell him I ordered a "biscuit". I should knock off a star but the food was outstanding. Think about this neighborhood. The L train goes straight into NYC. I can see this as an up and coming neighborhood over the next 10 years. Build more Tchoup Shop places, they will come.

We shared the shrimp and grits, the gumbo, and the banana walnut bread with nutella butter. Flavors were great all around. I would recommend any of those dishes. The portions were on the smaller deal, but I felt the value was fair when including the free gumbo which comes with a yelp check-in. My favorite dish was the shrimp and grits. The grits were creamy yet not overly cheesy. There was plenty of tender shrimp. The dish also had mushrooms, crispy bacon, and scallions. Altogether, it was vibrant and delicious.

Tchoup Shop is my first taste of New Orleans in Brooklyn. Deep Fried, Heavy, Bold and Filling! Everything on the menu sounds interesting! My friends just want to order every single item on the menu - Soft Shell Crab Amandine ($14) - Grilled Handmade Bacon ($9) - Jumbo Lump Crab Smoked Sweetheart Cakes ($14) - Duck and Okra Gumbo ($8) - Char-b-que Oyster (5 for $10) - Famous Buttermilk Biscuit ($2) Until I said Stop no more let's finish what we ordered first! (FYI, this is the third full meal of the day and it is not even 2 pm yet!) Watching the chef preparing our food at the makeshift popup kitchen is a treat in itself. I definitely would come back to Tchoup for a repeat visit as the menu changes every week and just love the casual set up of the place! And of course food taste much better with friends and some awesome beer selections at dba!

So here's the thing. We waited like an hour just to get our order in. The staff seemed confused and frazzled and never gave us a clear answer as to why we couldn't order food even when we tried. So the service was pretty terrible. It took us almost an 2 and a half hours to get a meal and a drink. But the food was great and it seemed like this might be an isolated incident. The food was great, the drinks were delicious. I'll come back. But someone figure that shit out, please.

Since being from Louisiana, I've tried a few spots here claiming to be Cajun and until today I haven't been able to taste anything close to the food at home. This Gumbo was as good as you're probably gonna get in NY! The sausage was good and it had okra in it! The taste was great! My fried chicken sandwich as light and just what I needed! They even had Hot sauce!! besides having to get up and get my own water refill, this was a good pick and I'll be back!!

Consistently great Chicken sandwich, mac n cheese Food that will impress

This is a fun place. It is decorated like a Cajun place in Louisiana. We started of with crispy pork belly cracklings with spicy mayo and the cheesy crawfish bread. Both were great. We also had gumbo. The service is good and yelp offered free gumbo.

The search for boudin balls is over. Cue Tchoup Shop. I've made it no secret of my food lust for boudin balls. They're not native to these parts (Hello Louisiana), which makes it supremely difficult to find them and so many Cajun establishments somehow neglect this simple staple from their menu. I had all but given up the search, that is, till I found Tchoup Shop (#1) via a Yelp event nearly 4 years ago. Back then they were at DBA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/d-b-a-brooklyn), but they now operate 7 days a week at Heavy Woods (http://www.yelp.com/biz/heavy-woods-new-york-2). These boudin balls are only of one kind, duck liver with brisket, which is nothing less than wonderful. The crispy exterior met with the creamy pate of the duck liver and savory, tender brisket meat is a bite that makes life worth living. It is one thing I would and coud do over and over again. One might balk at the lack of boudin ball variety, but I'm just happy to have any at this point. This is a fabulous start. The accolades don't just stop there. The rest of the Cajun offerings are stellar on their seasonal and often rotating menu of southern inspired items. Red beans and rice, duck gumbo, and catfish po boy are certainly legit. Even the deviled eggs and hush puppies are guilty pleasures; definitely an upgrade from one's usual bar food. Here's to their continued success and hope they'll certainly consider expanding their operations beyond Bushwick at some point. ::coughs:: Queens is open! ::coughs:: _________ (#!) Tchoup as in "Tchoupitoulas."

Wasn't the worst meal I had. I ordered the creol vegie burger with tots but I'm not sure what made it creol. It was a fine black bean burger but being served with crystal hot sauce doesn't make all food creol. Overall a disappointment the pictures were nothing like the actual food which was served in red plastic baskets not plates nicely as I was lead to believe. Service was nice but metioker and this wasn't really a restaurant, just a dirty bar. The atmosphere was dingy at best with some random NOLA doller store finds and broken lighting. At least it was only a few steps from where I was staying or I would be much more disappointed.

Great spot for a quick bite and a drink....also if you check in on yelp it gives u a comp gumbo which they honor and was sooooo good!! Bartender was really nice and attentive....

Not sure if the restaurant is in the bar "Heavy Woods" or if it's two restaurants at the same location. The food took a long time to come out and it was mediocre. The free gumbo with the Yelp check in was pretty good. The chicken and sausage jambalaya was ok, I feel like it wasn't anything special. Their bowl was a huge portion though (compared to the tiny cup). Their crispy chicken biscuit was pretty good but overpriced and tiny. The chicken tastes like chinese sweet and sour pork chops, it was pretty good! It doesn't really taste like chicken, and everything else was spicy.

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?* If you've spent some time in the NO and are missing the big, bold flavors, you need to be checking out Tchoup Shop. Simon's food will make you happy...he just does it right. I've witnessed his signature Char-BQ oysters convert at least three non-oyster-eaters into oyster-eaters, one of them even burning his tongue licking the last drop of delicious sauce out of the shell. I've seen skeptics bite into a biscuit and swear they saw God. And I've only had them once, but I'd fight you for another double dose of the duck liver boudin balls. Unless you're bigger than me, in which case...can we share? Whatever you do, get yourself over to wherever he's cooking (check the website), and you're guaranteed satisfaction. When he's manning a grill, it's more like the best backyard BBQ you've ever been to...if your friend just magically morphed into an amazing chef overnight. And I hear he caters, so if you're planning to have him at your wedding, I'd appreciate an invite. I won't ruin the evening, I swear. (You backhand one DJ across the face for playing that Black Eyed Peas song, and you get blacklisted. Doesn't seem fair.) __________ *Yeah, I'm going to get real sappy with this one.

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans ? If you've tried to find anything resembling Creole/Cajun cuisine in NYC you obviously do. I've been majorly disappointed in most of the so called Creole/Cajun places in the NYC area (Delta Grill, and Stan's Place were really disappointing.and Great Jones Cafe was so-so ). The Tchoup Shop pop-up in DBA is the most authentic NOLA inspired dining experience I've had in NYC area. They get it right. Spicy doesn't mean purely hot. There is a kick to the dishes but it's also rich and flavorful. Other restaurants seem to think excess cayenne or salt make it Creole. From the rich, thick , dark roux , to the properly dressed po-boy's, Tchoup Shop does NOLA cuisine justice. The gumbo is hearty, thick and flavorful. A rich and dark roux, as opposed to the more water-y soup other places pass off as gumbo. FYI- If you're tasting chunks of celery or green pepper the gumbo has not been cooked long enough. The po'boys I've had (catfish and shrimp) weren't as large as i remember from times in the South but every bit as flavor-able. Truthfully the only disappointment I've had here were the crab fingers.It didn't taste bad , but was small for the price ($10) and a bit of a chore to eat.. Everything else has been good to amazing . The only other negative is that it is only open on weekends. I do wish they were open midweek too. Tchoup Shop = one of BK's finest.

Hidden in the back of Heavy Woods (no signs on the outside) is a solid little bastion of NOLA, from it's fine food to it's permissive drinking culture and dinky ish appearance. jk it looks fine. Anyways, come for the very good duck and okra gumbo, think about leaving with the chicken biscuit sandwich that is too heavily slatherd in a sweet sauce, and stay for the $8 beer/shot deals. This would be a great place to do a full day of drinking and eating with almost no moving.

I tried out this vendor at Yelp's 11 Birthday Cruise** I have yet to visit their location. But going by the spicy watermelon salad I tried out the other day, I'll definitely be making plans in the future! The treat had the perfect balance of chili spice, citrus and fresh hydrating melon. I think there was also some cucumber or something in it-- I don't know, for whatever reason I can't wrap my mind around the balance that makes it both pretty spicy and refreshing! They had two versions with and without cocktail shrimp. With shrimp taste better in my opinion. (Seafood fiend) Can't wait to visit and update my review!

If you are not spending your Sunday afternoons in Williamsburg, you should be. Three coolers, two grills and one chef add up to one of the most sublimely enjoyable back garden barbecues in New York. DBA Brooklyn is a fine place to enjoy an assortment of well selected and constantly rotating beers and cask ales. The hard liquor selection is also well curated. The real surprise here is that in addition to such an agreeable array of liquids is the quality of the cooking. The chef Simon Glen and his assistant cum waitress Melanie provide an almost impossibly perfect Sunday afternoon experience. The food is truly exceptional. Start with the wings. Grilled then tossed in a red pepper chili glaze, they arrive with a nice sprinkling of scallions. Next, the peel-and-eat shrimp. Colossal, they arrive simmering in butter, garlic, rosemary, lemons and Cajun spice. Make sure you suck the heads, and ask for extra bread, which is toasted on the open grill - you will want it to sop up every last drop of this sauce. These two items are, for me, the franchise players. The rest of the menu is top to bottom solid. The oysters, the boudin and the three cold salads are all worth the very gentle pricing. I know that since this is my first review on Yelp and it is an enthusiastic one, the shill factor is high. I want to be clear. I do not work at DBA, am not the chef, and don't even know him. I stumbled upon this four weeks ago have been back for four consecutive Sundays. I wanted to spread the good word - Tchoup Shop deserves it. It is rare when one finds a menu that is from left to right on point and delicious. To find it in a Williamsburg backyard is valuable and really one of the principle reasons why New York is, well you can fill in your own appropriate adjective here.

Cool little spot in bushwick. First time here with the hubs, 20 min from E.NY. Sat brunch menu looked good but, we opted for the Duck Gumbo. The gumbo was ridiculously spicy but so good. The duck balls was good as well, and we had earl grey tea which also good. Will def. Come back.

Suuuuuuure. If you like hair strands on your jambalaya and a surly lunch server to boot. (And good luck trying to get her to acknowledge that you're doing her a favor by pointing out that they need to step up with their food hygiene game) And did I mention the toilet?!?!?!?!?

The ambience is amazing. Service was top class. Tried 1 yelp checkin free gumbo - best gumbo ive ever had. Better than ones i tried in Nola. 2 soft shell crab and pork belly slider - left me speechless 3 sausage chicken jambalaya - again the best ive had, left an amazing after taste 4 the crawfish mac and cheese - yummy crawfish and the bread crumbs on top were simply awesome. 5 to finish things off i ordered the peach blueberry pie with whipped cream.. i am in heaven at this point I love you chef ! Tchoup shop is simply awesome. If u dont try it you are losing out on a lot !! Mind you i had all of the above in just 40$ including the tip.

Kind of pricey but the atmosphere and good is delicious . I would try it out if I were you.

Oh my! I've spent about a week in NOLA and went to an awesome jazz performance at the original d.b.a. on Frenchmen Street. All I can say is I'm deliciously blown away by the avant garde menu crafted here at the Brooklyn location. A pop-up within a shop, the Meatmen behind Tchoup Shop are fearless culinary artists. They know how to "cook by color" while going brazen with flavors. These are the kind of chefs I want to cook with. Eating here was a spontaneous football outing after an already full weekend of brunching and dining. I was pleasantly surprised when this pop-up satiated our foodie adventures beyond expectations. Can't wait to bring other friends back here for an encore Nawlins style grubfest!

New Orleans in Brooklyn? The NO in the BK? The chef is a 10 year NOLA restaurant veteran. Do I have your attention now? Ok Cool Went here for a Sunday brunch on a cold day and this was perfect. Not only was the food really great, so was the service. Share the following dishes with the gf: - Gumbo that was free with yelp check in - Catfish po boy - Pork chop in a bowl with eggs, biscuits, and gravy (don't remember the name of the dish) Each dish had the perfect balance of flavors and authenticity. Also had the peanut butter latte, worth the visit alone.

This chef is throwing down some seriously tasty food from the grill. I uploaded a photo of the "Crispy Chicken Biscuit," and that alone will probably be enough to get you down there. Delicious food & being served at really fair prices. I've had the duck liver boudin balls, the barbecue oysters & the deviled eggs, too. Next stop is the peel & eat shrimp + the spicy cajun corn. Yum! Stop missing out! They set up in d.b.a's (williamsburg) backyard on Sundays 2-7pm & Bar Halyard's on Saturday nights from 6-11pm (too far for me). They're also at d.b.a (williamsburg) for Oyster night on Thursdays. They have a Facebook which is updated regularly, so check for times & locations: http://www.facebook.com/tchoup.shop I'm seriously considering getting married just so that I can bribe Tchoup Shop into catering my wedding.... Alas.....

I don't even eat pickles but seriously... those pickles gave me life!! The gumbo was really good as well. I ordered the catfish po' boy sandwich which i thought was good. I also ordered the mac & cheese which fell flat for me. Pretty bland. Overall it's a cool place to go hang out and eat late at night.

My friends and I wandered in here after going to see the Bushwick Collective. It is a nice cozy shop with both bar and lounge seating. We had high expectations because of the good reviews. Two of us ended up ordering the Crispy Chicken Biscuit and the gumbo (which was free for checking in. Thanks Yelp!) Our other friend ordered the quiche. The gumbo was definitely the only highlight of the meal. It had a nice kick to it and the duck was stewed perfectly. The chicken biscuits were very meh. The sauce on them tasted great but the biscuit was hard like a rock and the chicken was tough and difficult to chew. It was disappointing to pay $8 for a tiny, hard biscuit that left us hungry and unsatisfied. The quiche was just okay. There are definitely better brunch spots around.

Great gumbo and it's free with a Check in with a purchase of an entree. The handmade sausages are !! I also ordered the deviled eggs, I'll be back here to dine, great food!

Totally worth the trip. Good and friendly wait staff. Drinks brought timely. Really good dark and stormy and Moscow mule. Had the free cup of gumbo on Yelp. Duck and okra. Yummy. Collard greens delicious. Crawfish Mac and cheese absolutely creamy, crunchy and wonderful. Chicken biscuit was sweet and spicy. Would definitely return.

I came here with the double L's and did not realize Tchoup was not open this weekend. Fortunately for us, they left some gumbo and biscuit to please the crowd. I noticed everyone came here looking for some NOLA style flavour and were quickly disappointed. I was a bit nervous since L, is barely 2 years old and it was weird to have a baby in the bar and soon this bar got really crowded and crazy. We were waiting for our gumbo, that the girl bartender Sylvia estimated to be ready in 30 minutes. This was an hour or so ago, when she advised the time of the gumbo. She didn't even mention the biscuit until I inquired about them and lucky they could deliver the biscuit a lot quicker than the gumbo. L was hungry and we were already waiting for this damn gumbo forever. We got the biscuit, they burned it - I want to say despite the fact it was burnt around the edges, these biscuits were still good. We ended up ordering another order of the biscuits. 3 hours later, FINALLY damn gumbo comes out and the guy with the dreads said, the person didn't know how to make rice and this is why it took so long, since they had to redo the rice. He made a unfavourable comment about Houston, but meanwhile homeboy is from Dallas - I wouldn't talk about H-Town, when you're from Dallas...okay! So yeah, talking mess about H-Town, when he didn't even want to admit he's from Dallas. Like really, don't act like you're so above H-Town and act like you're such a creative soul, but meanwhile you were hesitant to admit that you're not a native New Yorker and you're actually from Dallas. Anyways, moving on - The dread dude, I forgot his name, but he gave us a little bit of the gumbo without the rice and I want to say the gumbo was a bit too salty sans rice. With the rice, was less salty, but I really would have prefer if they took it easy on the salt. Also, I want to say the dread dude kept saying how he was going to be "extra" heavy handed when he ladle our soups into the metal bowls. Ummm, okay, I am sorry, but lucky we had the biscuits because the serving size of this gumbo and supposedly it was "heavy handed" was really sad. They didn't have any spoons, but the dread dude didn't even tell me this instead he kept telling me supposedly this lady was going to bring us another spoon. He made me wait and wait and he kept telling me spoon was coming shortly. Okay there were only three ladies there and one was a friend of Sylvia's who had to pitch in to help her friend out and nobody looked like they were looking for a spoon or getting me a spoon. I finally asked the brunette bartender, she had no clue about this spoon and she came back to say we actually don't have any spoons, but she found two forks. Ummm okay, I want to say the girl bartenders were all cool and sweet, but seriously the dread dude got to go. Why lie about the spoons and give us this run around about the gumbo. He kept saying it's coming and yada yada - meanwhile we waited 3 hours for this gumbo. Like seriously, this gumbo was not worth 3 hours of wait time! Biscuits were good and that's all I have to say! I would give this place another chance, but definitely when they're back in town. d.b.a should also take the Tchoup advertisement off of their chalk board, rather mislead people to come in and walk around aimlessly looking for food. If they're not there, just let people know only a very veryyyyy LIMITED menu is available. Also, there was this weird dude there, not sure if he was on crack or whatever - he was there before I got there and stay there after we left and the whole entire time he was there, I saw him in 5 different ensemble and he passed out flyers. But they actually weren't even flyers, they were just a Japanese post card that he handled it to me after he bowed to me. I didn't take the postcard, so he took it back and pass it to another table. Then he went to the side of the bar and grab all these miscellaneous cards, flyers and magazines and threw them onto the bar. Then he comes around me and opens up this realty magazine and leaves it there open and walks away. The fill-in bartender girl asked me what's his deal - I am like I don't know, but that fool is crazy.

Got there on a Friday evening around 6:30pm. We sat outside and ordered the pork belly cracklin as appetizer and a 1/2 fried chicken and the bbq shrimp as main course. It took about 20min for the pork belly to come. I have never had "real" ones so I thought it was good, but my bf claims that it should be even harder on the inside. It took another 10 min for the other two dishes to come out, which was a long time for something that shouldn't take 30min. My bbq shrimp was great. I was forewarned by the waitress that i need to use my hand so i digged in. I used the bread to dip on that yummy sauce. I had a bite of the fried chicken and I thought it was a bit dry. I didn't think it was a bad experience at all but i wish the food came out a little sooner. It was my first time for me and my bf to eat in Bushwick and it was good.

Thanks to an official YEE, I was able to sample and truly enjoy Tchoup Shop's finger food that makes eating with your hands customary. Oysters cooked over the BBQ in amazing secret sauce was enough to make any foodie gaga, and new Elitist jump at the opportunity to taste the benefits that Yelp brings. If the food wasn't enough to get you excited, the staff and service is friendly, engaging, and tempest for your gut. The deviled eggs were light and decadent, and the duck liver balls were addicting in the greatest possible way! Hmmm balls and eggs in the same sentence? Sounds a little too much like human anatomy...sorry! But they are so tasty! Highly recommended to kick any backyard party into 5th gear!

You'll find this New Orleans cuisine gem tucked away in a bar called Heavy Woods. I was a bit skeptical at first because gumbo and po' boys can only be so enticing on a sweltering hot summer day. We ordered the chicken biscuit, pork belly and a small gumbo soup. A little pricey, but totally worth it!! We started out with the pork belly appetizer, which was great! Really flavorful and they give you this mayonnaise sauce to dip the pork belly in that adds a little kick to each bite. The chicken biscuit came in a small tin plate. Delicious chicken sandwiched between two buttery biscuits from heaven smothered in a delectable sweet barbecue sauce. The gumbo was hearty and so delicious. The quality of food here is great and really authentic. The atmosphere is a bit divey, but in the most perfect way. I'll be coming back for more Southern comfort food soon enough.

I've tried the boudin balls, gumbo, catfish po boy here. I've also tried bites of the slow roasted pork po boy, cocktails, and the grits with some sort of thick bacon when friends got them. From these experiences, my biggest recommendation would be not to go here during odd hours. At odd hours, this place only have their regular menu. During dinner though, they'll have a daily special menu that accompanies it and gives you many more options. There's maybe one option on the regular menu without meat, and none of you'd like to avoid meat and diary for the meal. Their gumbo is amazing and this is the one thing I would recommend to anyone. Boudin balls are quite tasty as well. The catfish po boy off the regular menu was actually pretty disappointing. The catfish did not appear to be freshly cooked and it barely had any taste. So biggest tip -- gumbo!!

I'm so glad this place is in Brooklyn! It's a few steps from the train station. The place is dark but the music is good! It's like a 90's throwback in there. I ordered the duck gumbo-cup size but it was definitely enough for me. I don't duck so picked it out. It was a flavorful broth served on white rice. It had enough spice for me but I could have added some hot sauce. I think the best part of the gumbo was the sausage. But the really interesting part about this was the crisp pork skin pieces. You have to get the biscuits cause they are amazing. Very crispy on the outside but fluffy enough on the inside. Get two though cause they're small. We also had the chicken fried pork steak. This is a safe choice cause the flavors are simple but it was good. The mashed potato and gravy served with it was just enough to accompany the pork. Oh and the lemonade tasted very fresh but it was definitely tart.

Service: staff seems socially awkward.. Not a warm welcome and barely checking in to make sure you're good. Small glasses for water and minimal checks to see if you need a refill... You would think they would check in more frequently bc of the small glasses but it doesn't seem to matter. Food: average.. - Catfish Po Boy: catfish was fried and seasoned well but the baguette was overly hard making the sandwich hard to eat - Jambalaya: flavorful but smaller portioned than what I expected - Fried Pork Belly: probably the best bite - nicely fried but still soft in the fat and collagen.. Served with a spicy mayo. Delicious! Price: not worth it in my book.. Decently priced but probably won't come back bc of the service and not worth paying for it.

Was really excited about the new orleans style menu. Everything on it sounded amazing. The best dishes were really bland and the worst were cold in the middle (I'm looking at you crawfish bread, covered in barely melted supermarket mozzarella) I'm sure this place would be fine for drinks. Really don't recommend it for a meal.
