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…

Little Place, Big Flavor

by kokki

The food there is so great! Order anything on the menu and leave pleased. I witnessed a couple who attempted to dine WELL after the restaurant closed its doors. The chefs had already closed the kitchen. The lady (from the couple) begged on her knees for five minutes and asked the manager to reopen the store. I understood how she felt. It is definitely a go-to spot while in New Orleans.

  • Pros: Great Food, Affordable
  • Cons: Too cozy
1 Star Rating: Poor

DONT MISS IT

by drjohn1800

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.

  • Pros: Actually healthy Creole cooking, no lard used in vegetarian dishes
  • Cons: There is not one in my home town

Southern food at its best

by psu_upward_bound

I recently ate here with a group of 10 high school students and two other adults from Oregon on a trip to help rebuild. One of the students selected the restaurant from our travel book. I was surprised had how much they enjoyed the food - a few even polished off their bowl of "greens" (which all of the adults loved). Most got fried chicken and found it to be a substantial step up from Popeye's. I got the red beans and rice and found it to be delicious. On the whole, it was a positive experience.

  • Pros: Quick seating, large drinks (most with free refills)
  • Cons: Parking can be tricky
