Toast Gretna

This place was a very nice little walk from our hotel. The places was lively and clean, staff was very friendly, prices were reasonable. Our waitress was very attentive and took excellent care of us. I got the ratatouille (I had never seen it on a menu before so I Had to get it) which was very delightful. My kiddo got the banana and Nutella crepes. She wiped em out. I'm a huge sweet tea fan, so good sweet tea is very important to me. I was able to try it before I committed to ordering it. It was a very good sweet tea. We will be in town for a good little while. I look forward to going back.

This place has a sister restaurant up the road called Hen House. I was recommended here to Toast Gretna by the owners and workers from Hen House because they shut down restaurant operations to fully support their King Cake Operation. Awesome little homey restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect brunch spot for the morning and early afternoon. I ordered black coffee and the ratatouille omelette with a side of bacon. It was delicious. Next time i am gonna try the steak and eggs on their entrees menu. Everything was reasonably priced. Dining room was well lit and clean. Unisex bathroom with changing table for the little ones was also clean! Cant wait to come back!

I've spent the last nearly 2 weeks eating all the wish list places I've heard about from family since I was a child (I'm staring right at 60 so, a long time). This is The Best Meal I Have Had In The Area. I was looking at the French Quarter because I'll be down there today looking up family records and this place snuck into my listings. I'm old and disabled so parking, check. Not a massive wait, check. Unique menu with things you don't see on literally every menu around town? Check check check. I got the catfish and eggs with grits. No cheese because in my family it was butter and pepper if you didn't want a look so withering you tried to sink into the floor. The tarragon sauce was perfect and light and the eggs were beautifully cooked and the grits needed no butter. Buttery and creamy already. And they have Crystal hot sauce which is my favorite for obvious reasons. That catfish was faaattt. Thick and flaky and juicy. Whomever is back there cooking it got it perfect, the most deliciously crispy exterior and just right interior. Just a side note for ths SoCal folks, if you're old like me and grew up going to Solvang and you're sad the Aebelskevers don't taste the same, come here. No raspberry jam but get the lemon curd. Hits the same notes and theirs is great. They're baking soda not yeast I'm 99% sure but so are several of the old school ones in Solvang and theirs are flat or half burned or very, very mid. Eat these hot when you get them and you'll get that delicate crisp on the outside and steaming clouds of heaven on the inside. The best I can describe this place is it's like your chef cousin and Grandpa started a restaurant together. And the cousins all work there and have been on their hustle since they could do chores and earn their own money, and they all get along and work well together. And the decor is cute as heck. The tables and chairs are comfortable. There is tons of street parking (also lot parking). The music is loud enough to make your heart sing and your toes tap but you can still hear and talk. And the Playlist is F👏I👏R👏E👏 I'm sad. I should have come here sooner. Even if I were staying across the river, this place is worth the drive/Uber over.
