Southern Food

“Love the cozy vibes and amazing food! Especially appreciate how good their veg/vegan options like the vegan dirty rice are! Can’t go wrong here with an order”

“I had a lovely time at Krewe, it's small with an intimate atmosphere. I ordered the Vegan Dirty Rice and it was delicious. They have a great Mocktail menu, though I couldn't resist the Sweet Tea. I would recommend Krewe, make sure you make a reservation!”

Chargrilled Oysters

$20.80

Oysters are chargrilled; no sauce or accompaniment is specified.

“We will be back again for sure! The passionfruit-mint-lemonade-tea special beverage was refreshing and well balanced. We got the grit fries and chargrilled oysters to start and they were both fantastic. Our entrees (blackened tofu bowl and shrimp etouffee) were excellent as well. And to top it all off our waiter Daniel was friendly and helpful, top notch service.”

Crab patties, remoulade, slaw and pickles fill this po'boy.

“Visited for the first time this week. In a word: Dreamy! I had Cajun blackened catfish with okra, my daughter had crab cake sandwich and we shared mac and cheese. Yummmmmmm....and I've never cared for okra! Every bite was excellent. The ambiance was lovely, the music was cool. I live in the area and I plan to visit often!”
