The restaurant is good, but I think the butcher sandwich shop is the winner. Amazing Louisiana pork and more - the Buckboard Bacon Melt is perhaps the best all around sandwich I've ever had in my life

My favorite place in New Orleans - period. They have the best brunch in the city HANDS DOWN on Sat/Sun (get there early or late, they don't do reservations) and their dinner service is a treasure too.
