Jacques-Imo's

Possibly - and I am not exaggerating - the best meal of my life, still dreaming about it the next day. You know its good when their bread starter is perfectly baked, garlic butter smothered corn bread. Atmosphere was so cool, food was INCREDIBLE, and service was top-tier (Doug was on POINT with all of his recommendations). Started with the grilled alligator, alligator & shrimp cheesecake (a must-order) and crab stuffed shrimp to die for. Then the crawfish touffe and eggplant pirogue for mains - cannot recommend both enough. And the sides are amazing too. We had red beans and rice, smothered cabbage, spiced corn, and the most mouthwatering smashed sweet potatoes youve ever had. He was also kind enough to serve a bit of spinach salad between courses so we got our greens in And THEN he served us an unreal combo plate with bread pudding with caramel drizzle and the most divine crme brle you can imagine. And cant forget the fresh watermelon mojito and hurricane-esque cocktails. I swear Im shocked this place isnt on every NOLA food list. also 100000% worth the Uber from French Quarter! 10-10 would fly back down from NYC just for this place

This was an amazing dining experience! Run, don't walk to Jacques-Imo's for their shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake!! I also had the Godzilla special, the shrimp creole and the fried green tomatoes. Worth the trip. Eat like a local. I'm so glad I did!

This was our 3rd time dining at this wonderful restaurant. The decor is very eclectic and the food is delish. They are very popular and therefore busy, but unless your party is 5 or more you can't make a reservation, so go early, if possible.
