The Scene – This unassuming, informal house renovation stays true to its residential roots. The hand-painted plates hung on deep ochre walls could be the work of some hip grandmother, who also serves mason jars of water on floral-clothed tables. Charming, familiar service is a hit with a patient, mostly-local crowd. – – The Food – Chef and owner Dick Benz recaptures the hearty, homestyle foods of your idealized youth, usually paired with a subtle contemporary twist. He reinterprets classic butter-rich barbecued shrimp with simultaneous nods toward Asia and Cajun…

One of my favorites

by kevans4

I almost don't want to spread the word. If I want a great meal at a good price I head to this comfortable local hangout. I would recommend it to anyone. I have a hard time passing up the steak, but I have never been disappointed in anything I have eaten here. Great atmosphere and food.

  • Pros: Great food, service, atmosphere and price
  • Cons: I can't think of one.

Off the beaten path restaurant at fair prices with charm.

by smoothmoose

If you're looking for a Michelin star studded affair this restaurant is not for you. Built on a renovated character house in uptown New Orleans, this restaurant delivers homestead charm with 4-star substance. More importantly, they do this at very reasonable prices. On our post Mardi Gras venture, none of the main entrees were over $24.

Their closed patio waiting area delivers a unique and relaxed experience to mingle with other patrons and enjoy a sampling or a bottle from their concise but smartly chosen wine list. Their main dinner room exudes cheerful ambiance best suited for small group of friends or maybe even the notorious double date. There are a couple of tables off to the side that offer a more intimate setting, but I wouldn't classify this establishment as a candlelight type place.

Don't expect to be called "monsoir" or "madame" from the wait staff, what they deliver is swift and concise service. We started with the fried oysters and lobster potstickers and they were a treat to get the palette going...not to mention the the southern staple cornbread obviously showcasing cornmeal beyond the standard Bulk Barn fare. My scallops were well executed though I would of preferred to see of the accompaniment of smallish gulf shrimp retrofitted with more succulent 10/15 prawns. My colleague's venison was finely tender, deliciously flavored, and well executed all around.

Overall the couple delivers a charming and cheerful dining experience with no nonsense service and finely executed dishes that will not disappoint.

  • Pros: Cheerful Ambience. Great value finely executed food with no nonsense service. Off the beaten path.
  • Cons: Off the beaten path. Not really a date place.

great all around restaurant

by dtud

lucky for us we only had to wait 1/2 hour instead of the quoted 1.5 hours. this was a great place. good cornbread, nice atmosphere, pretty reasonable prices, and very tasty food. i had the catfish with gulf shrimp and jambalaya grits - very very good.

  • Pros: all-around good
  • Cons: the wait and no reservation policy

The Details on Dick & Jenny's

Know Before You Go:

A strict no-reservation policy plays to off-peak diners; others should settle into the back porch area with a leisurely cocktail while waiting for a table.

Street parking is a problem in this residential neighborhood; leave your ride in the large grocery lot directly opposite, and cross Tchoupitoulas Street on foot.
