“ Great service and beautiful and fun interior (although smaller than I anticipated). Parking was very easy on the street as well. I enjoyed the food, but definitely was a bit pricey so just keep that in mind. That being said, we also ordered a lot of food for two people! Mushroom toast-highlight appetizers with a thick piece of toast cut in half, avocado, delicious array of mushrooms Calamari-usually not a fan but tried it since people raved about this. Appreciated that it wasn't a thick fried coating, and the peppers gave it a nice kick Fried green tomatoes-tasty but nothing particularly special compared to others I've had Gnocchi-rich and creamy, large portion, would definitely get again if you're a fan of mushrooms like I am Redfish-also good, but my husband said not necessarily the best he has ever had Bananas foster crème brûlée-don't skip this dessert, so good! ”

“ Cute brunch spot. I have been here a couple times with friends and the drinks and food are great. Most recently, we arrived early for our reservation and they were able to seat us. I will definitely be back. ”

“ the cutest little spot! great atmosphere and energy! love the decor and the vibe! the service is spectacular!

“ Our reservation was early and I was the first of my party to arrive. The staff was super great and sat me right away. As my party rolled in, so did the place fill up rather quickly. Definitely you should make reservations. The whole vibe is so cool, dress up or dress down. I started with a bloody Mary which proved to be really nice, a little bit of spice and a cute pickle assortment. The table ordered Biscuits and Banana bread. The biscuits were their interpretation of biscuits, but more like a biscuit bread which came out in 4 giant squares. I'm not a marmelade fan so I just had butter. Still yummy. I thought it was nice and VERY filling (uh oh), I then could only have a small piece of banana bread. It was delicious. Next came our mains, The whole table ordered the Crabby Benny, even our vegan who asked for it without the crab. I pride myself on being a Benedict connoisseur and when the plate came out I was wowed by the presentation. I always add lemon to my benedicts. The potatoes were perfectly cooked at crispy. delish. I took the plunge. then another bite, something seemed off. I looked at the others in my party and everyone started in. It appeared that there is some sort of sweet relish added. In my opinion it overpowered the crab and completely knocked me off kilter. 3 of us left half, even the vegan. Now is it bad, absolutely not. We just didn't care for the sweet relish and I would absolutely order it again, but without the relish. I still had a wonderful time and there's so much to try on the menu. Looking forward to my return. ”

“ I'm not sure how I missed this restaurant, which is on my path all the time. It goes to show our rich restaurant scene in New Orleans. BB is located in lower garden district close to the CCC, with a very easy access from all parts of the city. Easy parking on the street. This is a lovely restaurant with a very well appointed full bar. Both the restaurant and the bar are tastefully decorated, tranquil and welcoming. Owner Patty was hostessing. This is place one wants to be. Staff was prompt, polite and knowledgeable. The menu was not extensive and was not anemic. They have the perfect balance of appetizers and entrees. We had the Firecracker calamari and the Rare tuna for appetizers, both very good but I thought the firecracker was a little overdosed. This very well thought out dish would taste even better if it just wasn't painfully good. We also had the steak sandwich with fries, Osso buco, and the fresh Gnocchi with mushrooms. Everything was very good, I thought osso buco could stay in the oven a little longer. Personally, I would also serve it with a little thicker. Their desserts were innovative and not heavy or overwhelming. We had the delicious Bananas foster crème brûlée. This is an excellent restaurant deserves many visits. ”

“ We came to Beggars Banquet for brunch. It was really good. My two friends had the short ribs and I had the steak and eggs. The service was great, the food was fantastic, and the ambiance is really nice. I will definitely return! ”

“ Me and the gals had a lady's brunch here a couple of months ago. I struggled to find the entrance door to the restaurant. I saw the sign above the door, but the door is basically blank or light designed. After going around to the side and back to the place that I started under the big sign, which logically would be the entrance, I opened it and voila! I was in. The hostess seemed a little perturbed or just plain unamused and I am sure others have done the same. In fact, one of the ladies in my group did the exact same thing as I did - started at the front door, noticed no vivid sign, walked around the side to see if there was a blatantly obvious entrance door with a sign, saw there was not and walked back to original door. ha! There could be a much bigger sign assuring customers of where to enter. Anyway, after the entrance fiasco, we all ordered much needed adult bevies to kick off the weekend. Martini espressos were the main drink of choice. Some also tried the kitten's mittens. All the drinks were tasty, not my fav martini espresso in the city, but a good one. The biscuits were ordered - those were tasty, the pear toast were good, the sriracha cauliflor was possibly the star dish - no pics tho, as was the ahi tuna - same, no pics. For entrees, I ordered the chicken Milanese which was good, but again did not blow me away. I would like to have tried the banana fosters French toast, but I couldn't do such a sweet dish. Maybe the next time. The bathroom decor was amazing. Everything was clean and I enjoyed the uniquness of the layout and decor. Overall, I enjoyed the food, the drinks, and the company. I liked some of the decor as well. The service was good I just think they need more of a sense of humor - I think we annoyed them with our entrance woes. But if I had to choose between serious service that tends to all our needs vs happy jokester service that does not tend to our needs, I prefer the serious service. I wonder how they got the name Beggars Banquet. I forgot to ask. hmm? Good times were had. Thanks for doing what yall do. ”

“ I chose to dine with Beggars based on their menu offerings for brunch and lunch. I reviewed a few other restaurant's brunch menus and they lacked they "Mmmm" factor. Upon reading Beggar's menu, I immediately found interesting offerings which directed me to make a reservation. Enjoy delicious sweet or savory selections at a price that is very affordable comparable to other restaurants. Additionally, I love the décor. It is causal with a touch of 70s chic in my opinion. Our server was Ethan. He was most attentive and genial. My experience has undoubtedly solidified me as a returning patron. ”

“ First visited this restaurant while the "Barbie" craze was going on. My friend and I decided to do a cutesy Barbie brunch here. It was lovely! Since then, I've been back more times than I can count. Food is always great, the cauliflower is one of my faves on the menu! Drinks are always on point as well! At the time they carried an espresso crème brûlée, to do for!!!! They've changed the menu but still great items! ”
