Wow, blown away by our lunch here.
We arrived at 1330 without a reservation and they managed to squeeze us in as the last table before the kitchen closed, it was definitely worth the 45 minute wait.
Food was outstanding, everything from the fried turkey necks, fried Green Tomato sandwich, Gumbo, blackened Catfish. We loved everything.
Unsweet tea was delicious and served with a slice of lemon just how I like it.
Staff were so friendly, some of the best hospitality I've experienced in New Orleans.
It was incredible value for money, most of the entrees were around 12 dollars.
Already looking to return to work through more of the menu.
We visited creole-style restaurant twice in December 20th and 21st. Unlike regular restaurants, this is aiming at training students aw well as supporting community.
This is the restaurant that served the most delicious dishes among ones we visited in New Orleans. Even in South Bay of San Francisco we currently live in, we can not find such a restaurant because most of restaurant detest complicated processes increasing costs.
This place is truly special! Heard about it from the NYTimes. Did a walk in and there was about a 30 minute wait. It was totally worth it. Their mission and community based drive is admirable. And the food - wow!!! Large portions, seasoned well. Big smiles from everyone eating around me in the restaurant as well. Had the fried catfish with crawfish sauce, mac & cheese and collard greens.
Busy little cafe in the heart of the city. Nice program going on here for troubled and disadvantage youth. We were greeted by polite teens when we entered, presented with a delicious meal, and were highly impressed with the workings of the operation. The restaurant was full of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. There were blue collar city workers, business people, retired people, tourists, and even high ranking officials. I had the grilled portobello with sweet potato fries, collard greens, and watermelon lemonade, my wife ordered a shrimp po' boy. The food was perfect and savory. There were even leftovers we offered to a homeless guy when we left. Nice spot with noble intentions. Recommending this place to everyone I know going to the garden district. Thank you for what you're doing for the community.
Wonderful and attentive staff. They made such delicious meals! I didn't feel rushed even though it was a very busy afternoon. Lucy was such a treat to have as our server.
I devoured the La Catfish, blackened, with greens, mac and cheese, along with watermelon lemonade, and pineapple upside-down cake.
Overall, Café Reconcile has an excellent training program for young people and we need more establishments like this around the country.
I come here often. Today was my first time trying the salmon. D E L I C I O U S!!!!! It’s my new favorite entree!! The sweet potato soufflé is another fave. The people next to us said they eat the Turkey necks every Friday a d they’re delish, too. The fried catfish is also a winner. I support this organization and the youth they help. Don’t expect 5 star service bc they’re in training and LEARNING. Be patient, relax, and eat here!!
I absolutely love this place. The staff is great and there is enty of seating and parking. But most important the food is incredible! I can't tell you how much we have been talking about this spot. The turkey necks are insane. I can't wait to come back!
Highly recommend. The flavor of the food was 👩🍳💋 I had the fried catfish & my wife had the white bean/shrimp special. Sooooo good! You can tell they are learning the ropes so go in with that expectation for service. I saw several people coaching in the moment....what a great way to get on the job training. Tip well! They are all working hard!
If it's open (limited days and hours) do yourself a favor and go inside! Excellent experience and you're helping the community.
Getting some amazing food at Cafe Reconcile, a really neat place where they "transform the lives of young adults by encouraging personal growth, providing workforce development and training, and equipping young people with tools to achieve their potential." Highly recommend.
Food portions were amazing for the cost. Absolutely loved the gumbo. The burger was spectacular, didn't even need dress it with anything else. The rice and beans was so filling. Didn't realize it came with sausage, else I wouldn't have ordered a side of it! Sooo filling.
Will be back again soon.
