“ If your hotel is on Carondelet and you are hankering a shrimp Po-Boy togo...here's your spot! ”
“ We had a little bit of a wait but it wasn't a problem since we didn't make a reservation and parades were going by. They had a king cake martini that was so good and exactly what I was expecting. The cajun penne was delicious and not too spicy. The shrimp po boy was also delicious, very fresh and hit the spot. The staff was all very friendly, everyone thanked us as we were leaving even though they didn't wait on us. This was the first time I was there and I would definitely go back. ”
“ Best hidden gem on St Charles Street, trust me. Beignets were the best beignets I've ever had & that's saying a lot. The beef sausage & chicken penne pasta, to die for. Best pasta hand down with bread. I can't wait to come back for breakfast & another round for lunch, dinner. Think I'll try the fish po boy. ”
“ Fantastic food and even better service! We stopped in after getting off a plane with two small kids who were hangry. The waitress must have been a mom, she anticipated needs like instantly bringing water in cups with lids! The food came out fast and was delicious. ”
“ Yummy if a bit pricey cafe! I enjoyed the alligator bites, would skip the golden oysters (it was hard to taste the oyster beyond the breading). Portion sizes were a bit small and maybe a bit pricey. The gumbo is also very yummy and the biscuit is perhaps THE best biscuit I've ever had. We also got the King Cake, which is seasonal for mardi gras, and the beignets which were very yummy! Service was nice and fast. Nice ambience which cool art and a nice mural. Lots of tables for four, as well as bar seating. ”
“ Great spot to grab a quick beignet. Love how they have outdoor seating and the beignets came out fresh and hot. Highly recommended this place and would come back. ”
“ The good: I LOVED THIS PLACE. Beignets are perfectly sweet with a nice balance of greasiness and sweetness, and the crab cakes were marvelous. The coffee I got here was also really good! Friendly staff too. Ambiance was great, definitely felt very homey and had that NOLA charm. First time I went to a place two times and found both times to be perfectly enjoyable. ”
“ I've worked in the CBD for years, but for some reason, I've only tried the Streetcar Cafe in the last few months - usually for breakfast, but I've also had lunch here a couple of times - specifically the red beans & rice. Note - I've only eaten at the counter, since I'm usually alone and don't want to take up a table. This is your typical downtown diner/cafe - nothing fancy and pretty typical New Orleans offerings. Now that I've eaten here at least a handful of times, I thought it was time to do a review: At the counter, I've always had very prompt and friendly service. And I've had 2 or 3 great breakfasts, and a couple of good plates of red beans and rice. Very reasonable pricing on everything I've gotten. I made the mistake of eating at the look-a-like place next door (which may have shut down, actually) and Streetcar was far and away much better. Looking for a nice breakfast or lunch in the CDB? Try Streetcar Cafe! ”
“ The Streetcar Cafe is an excellent "hole in the wall" restaurant off the beaten path. On the South side of Canal, it was an easy walk from a few area hotels. The Gumbo was one of the best gumbos I've ever had. It was thick and rich like a Kardashian. It was packed with flavor and a few drops of Crystal hot sauce made it sing! Why is Crystal only good on Cajun/Creole food? The biscuit had a consistency somewhere between a regular biscuit and soft bread, which I thought was amazing. I wanted to go back for Biscuits and Gravy but ended up trying that somewhere else. The biscuit and Gumbo was great, though (even at 7p). The Jambalaya was good too. Lots of rice and not soupy. And the Fried Oysters were amazing and didn't break the bank like some places. Yes, they were a little pricey, but the batter was crispy and fresh tasting. I bet they'd be killer on an oyster po'boy. I'd totally go back if I was in the area, even if was just for some gumbo and a biscuit! ”
“ Please stop by this place and get whatever off the menu. With my party of four, everyone orders something different, and we sampled each other's dish, and every sample was delicious. The wait service was excellent, and everything was reasonably prices with the right portion size of food. Ambiance: Tables are very limited with two tables on the patio. However, any place you sit, you will be delivered great service and food. Overall: I can't wait to visit this place again to try even more of their delicious menu. Great place for breakfast and dinner. ”
