Cafe Bourbon St. — Restaurant in Atlanta

I came to this establishment because I saw that the ratings on Google were four stars out of five. As I pulled up I received great customer service and I was able to submit my order via iPad. I waited for my food for about 20 to 30 minutes. When I received my food, it looked so appealing , but it was disgusting. I had spent $55 and every single thing I ordered was horrible. The chicken wings were huge and the bourbon sauce tasted like regular barbecue sauce with a touch Of honey. I didn’t know if the wings were smoked or if they were supposed to be fried. The fries that came with my wings were soggy. It tasted more like the fries were baked. I ordered the loaded fries. It was also terrible and was soaked in barbecue sauce or bourbon sauce. I am not sure. I also ordered the shrimp Po Boy. The shrimp had flavor, but the coating of the shrimp was soggy. The batter did not stick to the shrimp. That costed about $14 and it did not come with fries. It was definitely not worth $14. However, I did like that they used nice sized shrimp and they used enough shrimp to cover the bun. It may have been worth the $14 if it came with a side. I also ordered the original beignets and the cream cheese beignets. The dough was very thick and hard. It was so much dough. It lacked any flavor and there was no sweetness to the beignets. It should be hot and melt in your mouth. Definitely not worth the money and you only get 3. It was disgusting and I hate to say I literally spit it out. I would also like to add that everything I ordered wasn't hot. For me to have waited 30 minutes for my food, nothing was hot. I received all of my food and Styrofoam containers. Which means there should have been some type of heat damage to my Styrofoam containers. It was a disaster. I was upset and hated that I wasted my time and my money coming to this food truck. I’ll never go back. Even with the points I earned. There was nothing New Orleans about it. Come to think of it. When you pull up to a food truck, you usually smell food cooking. I didn’t notice any fragrance of food in the air. Maybe it was an off day for the cook. Nevertheless , I wouldn’t...

Review from 2 years ago: Today was my first time heading over to Cafe Bourbon St... I knew from their instagram that there is always a long wait when you go ...so I braced myself.The owners were really nice and smile when you’re ordering. Once you order, there are sitting areas for people to sit out of the hot sun and music that you can enjoy during your wait. The only hiccup in my experience was when I ordered the shrimp basket with bourbon and ranch sauce. However, when I let the cooks know, they quickly fixed it. I have to say I am impressed and the food was worth the wait. I’ve been to Louisiana before for Mardi Gras and I can honestly say, the Big Easy would be proud. in a great presentation. I will definitely go back and recommend to others. 😊

Review update 2022: I’ve had there food before as you can see above and i love this business. I’ve even brought friends to enjoy the food when they were at there previous location. I recently drove from the north side on a weekday because i had a craving for the bourbon ranch shrimp basket.Their daily IG post came up and I said why not? They never disappoint. Traffic and all was a little over an hour. Just to find out when I arrived they only had chicken and shrimp left on the menu. I was tired, hungry and disappointed at that point so I just said, ill get some shrimp because I didn’t want to leave empty handed after a long drive. It was $14 with the sauce. When i got to the car, i opened my box to find 8 shrimp. The fries separately are 5-6 and the basket I would’ve gotten would’ve been 17. So getting this for 14 didn’t feel like a fair purchase. The food was seasoned but to know I drove an hour to pay $14 for that, left me speechless. It would be very helpful if they update their social media frequently to inform people that they have run out of items. In this day and age of high gas prices, you could only imagine how this experience left me feeling. I hope they consider going to different locations but I don’t think I can do the trip to risk having that...

My girlfriend that lives in Georgia was taking me to the airport to pick up a relative who was flying in to hang with us for the weekend and we had some time to kill before her flight landed so we opted to grab a bit to eat.

The plan was to go to a breakfast spot near the airport but the wait was close to two hours long so she told me about Cafe Bourbon St. She told me about how she tried their food previously based on their Instagram posts but because she lives close to an hour away, she tried the food when it was reheated and it just wasn’t the same.

Cafe Bourbon St is only opened on Fridays and Sundays from 1-6pm so on a Friday we arrived at 12:58pm and it was already a line coming outside of the area along the street.

I just knew the food was going to be delicious. My family was due in at 1:55pm so I figured we had time to wait and get over to the cellphone lot before her plane landed but I was wrong. After waiting in line for 48 minutes to place an order I was committed. After placing my order I waited another 15 or so before my name was called to get my order.

Thankfully it took my family some time to disembark the flight and get their bags from baggage claim so we had time to get to the cellphone lot and try the food.

I will start off by saying the food was well worth the wait. I ordered the jambalaya egg rolls and Bourbon Shrimp Basket with Bourbon Fries and everything was very flavorful, filling, and worth the money.

I had enough to share with my family when they got in the car and their response was “this is a great way to be welcomed to Georgia”; “delicious food and personal pick up”.

I look forward to going back and trying something else on the menu. I definitely recommend...
