The High Hat Cafe

One of my fav places to get legit "Southern Delta" cuisine. Never disappoints. Feels like an institution already.

Unfortunately, the server forgot multiple items that we ordered. Then at the end of the meal (we have 5 adults and 1 child) we were informed that we couldn't split the check and everything had to be on one credit card. The closest ATM was 2 blocks away and the ATM wasn't working. We were trying to pay 1/3 of the check in cash and with 2 credit cards. It's sad that a restaurant wants yo miss treat its customers to save the couple of dollars on credit card fees.

Just awesome. Thank you for such a good meal and friendly service.

When we arrived there was little to no seating available, so we sat at the bar for our entire time at Hi- Hat. The staff didn’t introduce themselves, or welcome us with a warm greeting, just pointed to bar stating it would be better for us to sit there for faster services on our takeout. Which still took 45 minutes to get our order. While sitting at the bar we were instructed that the bartender would take our order which he did. Still didn’t get no instructions from any of the staff. I ordered a drink which came very fast, the ambiance at the bar was nice if you like that kind of setting. When we finally got our food, portion sizes were too small, the catfish was the best thing out of everything we ordered with the bacon greens on the side. The BBQ shrimp was ok, the rice was raw, the pork was sitting in grease with greasy for gravy on the side, the Mac and Cheese ok. I would never recommend the pork or the rice to anyone. Unless you like that kind of stuff!!! Overall, it was an average experience.

Such a good spot to get some good New Orleans food and cocktails. The pimento cheese plate and the burger are fantastic.

Nice place on Freret. Good food. Great burger. Good Bloody Mary's. I believe my wife and sister ordered the Espresso Martinis! Unbelievable!! Great Classic Diner ambience.
