Delicious and great! Very understanding waiters, if you don't like something, they will immediately come to help and fix everything! Enjoy!!!

Great place for food before a Sharks game. Staff is super efficient and handles the rush with professionalism. The food is good, but I have been to New Orleans several times and its not quite up to the fine food traditions of that town. Its GOOD and I have no complaints

F A N T A S T I C! Great vibe - excellent service = (thanks Kennedy and staff), and delicious food! Friendly, engaging patrons = We were in San Jose to see the Sharks vs the Kraken. Even wearing opposing team jerseys, we were welcomed and treated like friends. We opted to dine in their heated outdoor patio area. What a delightful option especially since we don’t experience this amazing weather where we reside! The food was delicious and plentiful! Mr. Wonderful had the catfish Po’Boy and it was massive. I had a house salad and a cup of red beans and rice - the servings, also generous. *John - Thanks for recommending the Poor House Bistro! You were 100% spot on! We’ll definitely be back. Congratulations Sharks!

Great food and neat little place tucked away. I got the New Orleans combo and the jambalaya was my favorite! The red beans and rice were good but nothing special.

We had family reunion there. (It was my choise!) And it was great, all liked the food, tasty dark beer, ... and, the main reason for my choise ........ live music. Thanks for a nice evening from an European guy.
