Description: At Bourbon n’ Toulouse you’ll feel more like a friend than a customer. Will Pieratt and Kevin Heathcoat were mentored by Joe Vuskovich, the founder of Jozo’s Bayou Gumbo chain and Yats restaurants. Like Joe, they are truly passionate about what they do. Always cook'n and laugh'n, these guys are serious about having fun! Stop in and sample the wide variety of tasty dishes, check out the great beer selection and colorful local art that grace the walls. The price is right and so is the atmosphere. Not bad for a washed up musician and a retired elementary teacher!

Fantastic food, spicy, and you can still taste all the ingredients. Really friendly staff, great atmosphere! You guys should be on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This is just the kind of food Guy would love!

Really great. We liked the chicken creole and the black beans and rice (with sausage). What you get for your money is A LOT!

It's a sit-down, pay-before you eat joint but in our case and everyone we watched, the food was ready before you sit down. Cashier was VERY friendly and helpful. Price was dirt cheap. A guy basically portions out food from premade steam plates, but this isn't a bad thing. I had the chicken etouffay and jambalaya, wife had the crawfish... More

Now I know why Bourbon n' Toulouse is the #1 rated restaurant in Lexington. My son and I sought this diner out on E. Euclid Ave in trendy Chevy Chase and almost missed it because it was so small. Between us, we had Jambalaya, white chicken chili and shrimp étouffée. What's more, we had $2 bottles of beer; Wow! We... More

My wife and I had supper at BnT early in May, and the food was great. The shrimp etoufee (spelling ?) was wonderful! Both dinners and a serving of bread pudding for dessert were only $14. So much better than Gumbo YaYa. My only criticism would be of the numbers of styrofoam containers and plastic eating utensils that get thrown... More

The reviews are all true. Fantastic food, quick and inexpensive. Not much to look at, but after one bite you will not notice the surroundings. The staff is very friendly, and very helpful in helping you make choices.

Food was good but, ya Ya's is still better by far. The atmosphere is a little ritzy. Also it's in a difficult location.
