Great food. The fish was so flavorful and crispy. Really good clam chowder in large bowl. Coleslaw delightful. Wonderful creole music. Outdoor seating. Good shade.

Oh my goodness!!! This place is my new favorite local gem! The atmosphere alone is a reason worth going! I came here on a whim because I wanted to get a carryout. While standing there I had some help with what to chose from the menu and got invited to join a lovely table of amazing people including Jay the owner. Amazing human beings here and I wish I lived locally to come here more! The music is a great experience and the food is soo good! Highly recommend the crawfish pasta and jambalaya. I got to learn the history of this restaurant which was so fascinating. Definitely stop by for a good time!

The SHRIMP AND GRITS!!!! What a perfect dish!! Literally... Made to perfection!! Creamy, cheesy deliciousness topped with fresh, plump, meaty shrimp. It was so good that I did a little happy dance after I finished eating!! This dish is hard to find in San Jose and I'm so glad that not only do they make it, but they do it fantastically!!!

Had dinner here on a Friday night and there was a live band! Seating was easy to find, the staff was so friendly and the vibes were great. We tried the jambalaya and the fried shrimp. Both were pretty good! The food came out quickly. Overall a great experience and I’d definitely visit again.

Nice cozy shaded seat outside patio with a great sounding band was my favorite part. I got the andoullie sausage . Nice flavor and fries were crispy. Cashier was friendly. I went before the evening rush. I'll be back 😊

Their food is delish! Love sitting outside and they have an outdoor bar. Lots of shady spots and fun for a large group. Our group loved everything we ordered.

Going to SAP Arena in San Jose? Be sure to stop here, about a 5 minute walk (1/4 MU), for stellar blues music and tasty southern comfort food.

Been meaning to come here for a while and finally managed to today. All in all it was a decent experience. Had a bunch of stuff and their gumbo was their stand out item personally. The fish was ok but had a few pieces that were a bit too fishy. Rest of it was fine but nothing spectacular, still at their pricing I'd visit again and try something else on their menu.

We came upon this restaurant by accident. It turned out to be such a treasure! There was live music playing and the audience was so friendly to each other. The wait staff was really nice and helpful. The food was ok but the atmosphere more than made up for it

I’m no expert on New Orleans and Cajun food but I like the food here! I personally had The Poor House which comes with ham and roast beef. Great of you like a ’meaty’ sandwich. Be prepared this thing will fall apart all over you. But messy be good too! I shared some of the crawfish pasta with someone. Creamy and yummy. AMA this is the best way to eat crawfish cuz otherwise they’re too hard to peel! Shrimp po boy was good but I prefer grilled instead of this mattered and deep fried way. And the fries were hella top salty. They actually got my order wings which I didn’t realize till the food was ready after 15 minutes. So I had to order again! But they made it the next priority so I’ll give them service points for that. Had a few drinks… vodka shots and wine. I know weird combination right? About $10 bucks each. And I enjoyed their live band. Cool courtyard and festive atmosphere. In fact, a few folks dancing. Mostly older folks here. I’ll come back on the right occasion.

I've wanted to visit PHB for a while and got the opportunity tonight. It was worth the wait. We went early at 4pm and there wasn't a crowd. We ordered the combo with jambalaya, gumbo and red beans and rice. Great way to sample. Our kids shared the drippin sandwich and said it was melting in their mouths. We started with popcorn shrimp and finished with beignets. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is quaint and cozy.

This restaurant has had three different locations and is now situated in Little Italy. My only complaint is the lack of parking near the restaurant. \n\nI especially love the crawfish étouffée.

I recently had the opportunity to try your restaurant's offerings, and while some dishes like the jambalaya and crawfish pasta were passable, they lacked the robust Cajun flavors that truly make Creole cuisine shine. On the other hand, the veggie burger was quite disappointing, with a dry and tasteless profile that left much to be desired.Cajun seasoned fries were the best and will try again. As a suggestion for improvement, I believe enhancing the seasoning and flavors in your dishes, particularly by incorporating more authentic Cajun spices and techniques, could greatly elevate the dining experience. Additionally, ensuring that vegetarian options like the veggie burger are well-prepared and flavorful would cater to a wider range of palates. Overall, I see great potential in your menu, and with some adjustments to better reflect the vibrant and flavorful aspects of Creole cuisine, I believe you could truly stand out in the culinary scene.

Take with a grain of salt as I'm traveling, but very judgy of Creole/Cajun/NoLa restaurants. I'm a jambalaya chaser and that's my bar. The service was lightning quick and my jambalaya was ready befor…

This restaurant was recommended and has a fun outdoor atmosphere. The band was great, but the food and drinks were a huge disappointment. I discovered we were over charged and when calling the phone number on the receipt there is no one available to take a call during business hours. Beware!
