The Scene
There are no gray areas at Praline Connection--from the tiled floors and chairs to the plastic tablecloths, all is black and white. And the waitstaff, who wear black fedoras, aren't too shy to guide your ordering to suit your tastes. The restaurant also peddles souvenirs, so you can stay "connected" at home, whether that's in Metairie or Maine.
The Food
The menu is spicy and homey with offerings like crowder peas with okra and rice, red beans and rice, wonderfully stuffed bell peppers, and fried chicken. And, in fine tradition, portions are large. All meals come with a choice of mustard, collard or cabbage greens and a choice of red, white or lima beans or the crowder peas and okra. If you're not in the mood for spice, try the ribs--the meat falls off the bone and melts in the mouth.

It's been a while since I've eaten here, but the food is to die for. I think I could easily eat the gumbo until I drop. The atmosphere and service is upbeat. And, to top it off, the price can't be beat.

This is one of the best ever restaurants my wife and I have ever eaten. Although we are basically vegetarians this place is the one place we drop all our dietary guidelines and feast on their chicken livers. The vegetarian dishes are exceptional. Collards and fried okra are unreal. We plan to eat Thanksgiving Dinner there this year. Glad this one survived Katrina. I am almost reluctant to tell people about it, selfish I know but don't want it to get too famous and change. The servings are really huge too, always enough left over to bring our dog "Scooter". He loves it too. Dr. John, Julia & Scooter

I went there with a group of 17 people and the accomedated us pretty well. They have a pretty good selection of food, to the point you do not know what to pick. The plates were big for their price. You do however, have to be a little patient with the staff being that it looks busy all the time. I would go again next time I am in New Orleans.
