What People Are Saying About Dunbar's Creole Cooking
Featured Review

The Scene – This simple white-frame restaurant looks like dozens of other neighborhood eateries in town. But what sets Dunbar's apart is its trademark $5 special--an all-you-can-eat extravaganza of red beans and fried chicken. – – The Food – In keeping with local laundry-day tradition, the red beans and rice are spicy and substantial, striking a good balance between creamy and firm. The dark-meat chicken included in the special (white meat is available for a reasonable $1 extra) features crisp skin. Long cooking makes for deeper, more developed flavor, but the bird's…

Dunbar's is back, in a new location!!!
by malltmont at Citysearch
As of September 2006 Dunbar's is back at 501 Pine St. It's on the Broadway Campus of Loyola University, just off Broadway and St. Charles. It's the cafeteria of the student union for the law school, but the Dunbar family is serving up just like Freret Street. They didn't have flood insurance and haven't had money to re-open. They do plan to re-open on Freret, but in the meantime they're open for business M-Sat 7am-7pm
- Pros: simply amazing food, amazing price
- Cons: cardio killer, slow service

Awesome

Everytime I go to NOLA Dunbars is always on my to do list (often more than once). Well worth the walk from the St Charles streetcar line (would not go by myself though)

A GEM
by msmissislippi at Citysearch
Having visited New Orleans many times, I can't believe I'm just now "discovering" the most excellent Dunlaps. The 7 of us chowed down on the best fried chicken ever - and being native southerners, we've all had plenty of fried chicken. The service was great and the owners were charming. The cost of the all-you-can-eat fried chicken/red beans & rice plate has increased since the profile was written. $5.99 + $1 addition for white meat - worth every cent plus some! This is a great N.O. experience off the beaten path.
- Pros: food, service, value

comfort food

I lived up the block from Dunbars for two years. I freqented this haunt quite often. The food is so wonderful, I am from the west and it is hard to find anything that even remotely resembles good creole food. I would recommend to any and all of my friends.
- Pros: great food, good service

Incredible Dining-A Must!
by howzbyu at Citysearch
I've eaten at alot of different types of restaraunts in New Orleans on vacation. Dunbars was & is my favorite experience. It is known to the locals as a great deal for its cheap eats. The staff are the nicest people. The neighborhood doesn't look the greatest but it is safe & friendly. I was very glad to have found this place. My favorites were the red beans & rice W/ chicken and sausage & the pralines were the best in New Orleans. This place is the best.
- Pros: Great Food, Very Inexpensive, Incredible Staff
