Been a customer since before 2014. I see a huge difference in the way the food is prepared. The grilled/broiled fish was always on a dry plate, fresh with several sides. My fish the other night was soaked in oil, frozen/not fresh, unappetizing and tasteless. When I ordered the chicken Marsela, it was a tasteless piece of fried chicken floating in oil- nothing at all that would please the senses. The original gumbo was really extravagant and delicious. It has now been reduced by half the ingredients, three times the thickening agents and twice the amount of rice as before. Aside from all of that, the last time we went the food was barely warm. A big disappointment.

We truly love our New Orleans food. Chef Ron's is SO different, as a neighborhood type place because the food is truly at a gourmet level. He only uses the highest level of ingredients so the flavors are so much better. The guy just knows how to cook. The portions are more than generous. We just love Chef Ron's and take people there regularly and they cannot believe this little place in this out of the way location performs at such an high level. !!

Hubby and I went for lunch recently. It was okay. The restaurant is really small (fits maybe 30 ppl?) and there were only 3 servers. The food didn't take exceptionally long to arrive, but I guess I just assumed it would've been quicker since there were so few people. But it makes sense since there aren't that many employees either. So no complaints there. They were out of potato salad, which I really wanted to try. The fried chicken was very unimpressive. Not seasoned well. The gumbo, though, was amazing according to my husband. He said it's the best he's had (second to Grandpa).

Place is overrated. I'm from New Orleans, as were most people in my dining party. We basically all left disappointed. The gumbo was pale and lacking in taste, and made worse by the fact that you get too much rice and not enough gumbo! The po-boys were rather tasteless. I got a roast beef one, and the there wasn't alot of meat on it, there wasn't enough gravy, there seemed to be no mayo (even though I got it fully "dressed"), AND they used the wrong French bread! The bread was too dense and made the sandwich substandard. My husband got the fried oyster po-boy and said the breading was tasteless. I'm amazed by the great reviews of this place, especially since I can only imagine the reviewers were locals since this restaurant isn't exactly in a touristy part of town.

It was great food. We had shrimp creole, crawfish étouffée and Mac and cheese, bread pudding. Would very much recommend this place. It's just hole in the wall but don't let that scare you great food.

Best meal we had in New Orleans! Jefferson Chicken was out of this world, and Bronzed Drum Fish was excellent as well. Of course, we also had a cup of gumbo to share as an appetizer--there's a reason this place is known for its gumbo!!! Yum! All around fabulous place.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. This was the first restaurant from the Restaurant.com list for New Orleans that had everything we wanted was available and on the menu. Ron the Chef was actually in the restaurant. That is rare!. The boudin balls were awesome and the Seafood Gumbo was the best in New Orleans. We tried many. Others were too watery. My kids have become professional Po Boy eaters. They agree that Ron's has the best shrimp Po Boy. We have eaten at some of the most famous ones on the tourist path. They do not compare. Shout OUT to Ron for going things the right way. The boudin balls are a must have.... Do not go without trying them.

Ron was in the restaurant. He came out and greeted us. He even offered us samples of his Gumbo. That does not happen often. It is a nice touch. After tasting several others, I wished I came to Ron's first for the Seafood Gumbo. Even my kids liked his shrimp Po'Boy better as well.

A bit slow, but it is Mardi Gras so there were a number of out of towers there. Food was good but far too little sausage, okra and chicken in a large order of gumbo. It was very tasty but with so little meat I'd pass on it next time I am looking for a place to go. Being diabetic we need the protein.
