We had the roast beef Po'Boy and the Catfish Po'Boy, both were excellent. Wish we had time to go back for a second visit!

It's a "Hole in the wall", no atmosphere, tiny, and average service.....BUT, the food is REAL and very good !! They serve NOTHING that's not locally grown/produced. The food is quality, Worth going out of your way for !!!

Cute place, kind of Parisian bistro in decor. I had the seafood gumbo, with shrimp, crawfish and crab, and it was excellent! Son had a burger, said it was good. We ate inside, as it was a hot day, but they do have seating outside under a cover. Would definitely go back!

Came here as our original restaurant choice had a long wait while this place was only 5 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is quite beautiful yet simple at the same time. Our service was pretty good for a busy Saturday night, though I'll say the busser for the restaurant provided us with the most help out of anyone. The... More

My wife and I arrived in New Orleans on Mother’s Day and family took us to Magazine Street. We picked Ignatius on the spur of the moment, looking for a casual place to eat dinner that wouldn’t be overcrowded for Mother’s Day. Ignatius did not disappoint. My wife had the Sauteed Shrimp Remoulade Po Boy which was excellent – the... More

We stayed at a VRBO in New Orleans and our owner recommended this restaurant to us. We enjoy it and ate here twice on our stay. I got the special both times and they were different and very good. My husband had the Roast Beef PoBoy and a special. The bread is very good. If they don't bring bread to... More

Their selection for lunch is more than adequate and the food is very good. The four of us all agreed that it was an excellent choice. Although we were tempted, we did not partake of any of the $2.00 Martinis, which were flying from the bar at an amazing rate. Next time, for sure. Friendly service and good food. A... More

Stopped here on our 1st day in town and would stop back again! We were able to sit outside and enjoy the views of Magazine St! Had the Shrimp Poboy and it was fantastic! Also enjoyed a Bloody Mary while I was there. Definitely would recommend stopping here for lunch!

Had a nice lunch here one afternoon. Good interior space with nice big windows out onto the street. Rate as average only because what we had was so simple... red beans/rice and a salad with fried green tomatoes and a bit of crab meat. Both were tasty. No complaints. Plus, the two dollar martini special was a nice touch and... More
