I had the shrimp and crawfish pasta! It was a bit spicy and so much food. Forgot to take a picture of my food. But got my beer! This stout beer was amazing! Great service from our server! Bathroom door (first one) didn’t lock walked in on a lady. Sorry lady! Very loud music from the Steam Boat was easily heard and we were in the back of the restaurant. Overall amazing food and great atmosphere! Awesome art on the walls!

Stopped in for a cold drink, and it was very nice place. Great service. The food looked amazing, but I did not have any.

The food was amazing. I went to get steak because I heard it is good but it’s not on the lunch menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I tired the jambalaya, oyster and shrimp and they were all really really good. I was skeptical at first but was mind blown as I took my first bite.

I came with a couple of my friends to the French quarters to explore what's around the area. We came across Crescent City Brewhouse, and we were amused by the live jazz music. The place is very esthetically pleasing, and the service was spot on! I ordered the duck empanadas as an app, they were amazing. The red fish was my main course, I recommend it! And I would certainly order it again. Overall, the atmosphere was spot on!

Place was great. We had lunch there. Food and beer were yummy . Our server Tina F was awesome. I was going to leave her extra tips, but she was too pushy promting me through the steps on the portable credit card charge terminal. She picked for herself 20% and I decided to leave this top for her.

The cheesecake is one of the best we have ever had! Oops . . I need to back up and start at the beginning. Off on the wrong foot as there was a mix-up as to who had our table. Of course I had the 6 beer flight with some real winners and a couple that were just OK. Wife had the shrimp and grits, not as BBQ as expected but very good. I had the trio & the shrimp and grits was my favorite of the three. To top it off we had the cheesecake and it was tremendous. They use a different cream cheese here in NOLA and it was special.

Very chill, relaxed vibe. The service was really great! Danny was really on top of service and such helpful recommendations. We were a group of 5. We had the Red beans and Rice, the Sampler lunch main, the roast beef Po Boy, Oysters (raw), Creole cheesecake, and the bread pudding. Highlights: the grits are incredible! The cheesecake was the best we had ever had. Legitimately, better than Juniors and other highly rated places. Overall, it was all very tasty. The only misses were the fries were soggy and like 1 oyster had not been shucked "perfectly".

We had a nice time at Crescent City Brewhouse. We asked to get sat on the patio upstairs to enjoy some fresh air and were instructed to go upstairs and another host would seat us. Which was done, our waiter was very chill and had good vibes. He was attentive and there the right amount. I ordered the beer flight. The red stallion was my favorite but enjoyed the 4 I tried, they did say that you couldn’t mix and match. My wife didn’t love her drink a sangria of sorts I believe which had a good amount of carbonation which she didn’t enjoy a ton. It was a nice pop in for a drink.
