    First time at Evangeline and we loved it. Sat outside in the courtyard. Food was very good and our server was very personable and attentive. Would recommend!

    I loved eating here for the $15 bottomless brunch; the mimosas were strong and plentiful!! The staff was so friendly and helpful! The Crawfish Etouffee, Gumbo, and Chicken Cracklin Poboy were the Chef's kisses! I can't wait to come back!

    The food was amazing and the service was great. I ordered the catfish and grits, and it was some of the best I've ever had.

    Food was good but not great. Very touristy place due to the name but there are much better places to dine.

    On my first visit to Evangeline, I had the gumbo and the red beans and rice. The gumbo was very flavorful, medium spicy, and a generous amount of chicken and sausage accompanying the perfectly cooked rice. The red beans and rice were out of this world. I always appreciate when something so simple and humble can be done with such love, passion, skill, and flavor!

    Went early to enjoy a cocktail at the bar and quickly changed to stay and enjoy dinner while seated at the bar. The bartender was great, had a wide knowledge of local favorites. We all had different dinners and everyone raved about their meals. Small & intimate.....give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

    Food was generally good but had a lot of filler. For example, the jambalaya was mostly rice with little meat or vegetables. The bananas foster bread pudding dessert was delicious. Service was slow.

    Dinner was awesome. Brunch was just okay. Bartender was very nice but wait staff forgot about us and left us sitting for about 20 mins before ordering.
