I definitely will be returning here! I went for the 1st time last night. It was adorable inside. The service was outstanding! The food was delicious. The fried pickles & fried green peppers were SO good. Everything was so fresh.

Thank you all so much for accommodating our large party last night. We had a great time. The food was good and the service was wonderful. My family is creole from NO and I loved the decorum. Special mention to one of our servers Erin, she was too cute, attentive and friendly.

Loved all of it ! I'm old school tho, you shouldn't use regular maraschino cherries in an old fashioned. You have to use the black ones in the syrup. That's why food is only 4⭐️. Definitely coming back.

We went there for the Monday oysters. They were fabulous, cold, sweet,and clean tasting. Our server. Josephine, was a nice as could be. Very attentive and apologetic with the bar being slow. Not a problem as we were their at the start of dinner time. Beers were cold and went well with the oysters. The food, Jambalaya, Coconut Shrimp and Blue Crab Beignets were great! Great place!.

We have been eating at Moe Joe's for years so tonight's experience was very disappointing. We ordered the charbroiled oyster special as an appetizer. When the plate arrived it was placed on the bar. We had to ASK for plates and silverware. Putting food down with no way to eat it is a mistake, acting put out when your customer askes for plates and silverware is not acceptable. The oysters were raw. The bartender called the manager over and asked her if this (the plate of oysters) was the charbroiled oysters. Without even looking at the plate the manager said yes, they are charbroiled. The plate was cold, the shells were cold and the oysters were raw. We know the difference between a cooked oyster and a raw oyster, to insinuate otherwise is again rude and unacceptable. Since we sent our appetizer back the bartender asked if we wanted anything else. At this point we had to ASK for the cornbread and apple butter that usually comes with diner. Again, staff acted put out. When our diner plates came out the beef skewers that I ordered were not on the plate. The bartender stated she thought I ordered alligator. This got sent back too. The manager and bartender acted like my husband and I were the problem! I hope the owners are reading this. I will miss the Moe Joe's we used to know. We will not be returning nor recommending this restaurant any more. I would not wish this treatment on anyone.

We went there with a group of about 35 the day after Fat Tuesday. This was previously arranged with them for at least a month. When we arrived the gentleman at the door was completely unaware we were supposed to be there and looked astonished. No preparation had been made and we all stood around while they scurried to put tables together (someone must have finally told them we were supposed to be there). They put a line of 2 or 3 tables along the center and 4 or 5 tables along one wall with chairs on all sides. WE had to move the tables along the wall further from the wall to be able to get in and out on the wall side. Then they passed out silverware wrapped in cloth napkins. Several of the guests commented that the knives were not clean (possibly the dishwasher). They took drink orders and offered an additional special drink menu. No prices were listed. Water was not set out until after the drink orders were taken. They "apologized " for not being ready saying the staff was "really" tired from the "great " time their customers had the night before, that they were packed and stayed very late cleaning up. This place has been here through many Mardi Gras celebrations and should know how to prepare. When the drinks came it was "Who ordered the .....". Food orders were then taken and delivered in the same "Who ordered " way. There was a very long delay between ordering and receiving the food. We had been there almost a hour before any food arrived and there was never little cornbread loaves brought out as is their normal procedure. Some guests who ordered soup had their entrees delivered before the soup. The smaller group of tables didn't get their orders until many at the other tables were well into eating their lunch. Some of the sandwich buns were partially over toasted and the contents were dry from the over cooking. They took orders for items containing oysters and came back to the tables requesting those guests to order something else because they "didn't know they ran out of oysters the night before." If you are a Cajun restaurant and have a yearly Fat Tuesday celebration you should know how to order and prepare for both the event and the next day. The prices were extremely high for the quality, quantity, service and location. The wait staff number was not properly adjusted to the number of people causing us to eventually have only 1 or occasionally 2 waitresses rushing back and forth which was certainly not their fault. When the bills came there were up charges for items without having previously informing the customer. They have a policy of not giving separate checks but an exception was made in this case which was previously agreed to. However several checks were wrong and had to be redone; one twice before it was correct. The camaraderie was lovely but the restaurant experience was certainly not.
