$28.00

Choose jambalaya, gumbo, étouffée, or red beans and rice as your entrée.

“What a wonderful late lunch! Our server Venetia was absolutely perfect explaining the menu to us as it was our first time. We got to try the taste of New Orleans which was incredible. What a satisfying sampler fit for two! We also tried the catfish bites because it was happy hour all day today (Tuesday!) and it was so fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is great, love the decor and the r&b is so relaxing and inviting for a mid afternoon date! Next time I have to try the drinks! Will definitely be back soon!”

Crawfish Etouffee

$28.00

Spicy Cajun crawfish stew; white rice or pasta can be added.

“OMFG!!! I stumbled across this place searching for crab cakes and crawfish e’touffee and when I say this place is a gold mine! It was live music playing all the jazz hits! Super friendly staff!! CJ was my server and was soo attentive and fast. I could write a book about this place but I’m drinking their stellar drinks right now so I’ll leave you all with this…I feel like this place should be #1 in LA period ❤️❤️”

Gumbo Cup

$8.00

Louisiana-style gumbo served as a rich, flavorful soup.

“Omg. The flavor! A friend and I stopped by for happy hour and we were sooo impressed. Every thing we tasted was delicious and seasoned soo well. Our favorites were the catfish bites, the gumbo cup, and the wingettes which come with seasoned fries. The manager was the sweetest! He was so welcoming and attentive. Our food and drinks were out quickly and we have absolutely zero complaints. We will definitely be back and encourage you all to visit.”

Corn Maque Choux

$8.00

A classic Cajun preparation of corn served as a regional side.

“The food, servers, and atmosphere were all outstanding. I got the "Fish on the Bayou" (blackened catfish with corn maque choux and beurre blanc sauce). One of the best things I've eaten in 2021. Our server and the owners were so kind and on top of things. The jazz band playing made the atmosphere 👌.”

Creole Food

Creole Collard Greens

$8.00

Creole-style collard greens bring a Southern leafy-green side.

“OMG this is the best Vegan food I’ve ever had! Because it’s real food not soy made into lackluster imitations. I had the red beans and rice, came with cornbread and sausage. I had the vegan calamari, and a side of greens made with no meat and absolutely delicious !! Enough for two meals, I just ate my leftovers, 😋 I will go back even though it’s far away from me and it’s a lot of traffic on the 405 it’s worth it.”

Red Beans & Rice

$8.00

Louisiana-style red beans served over rice in a Creole classic.

“My guy and I absolutely love this place!! The food is excellent, it's always clean, and the service is outstanding! They make some of the best fried chicken we've ever tasted. I would also recommend the Creole Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese, Red Beans and Rice, and Gumbo. Pretty much everything I've tasted is insanely good! They're also reasonably priced, which is the "icing on the cake!" Check them out, especially on Sundays when they have their "Bottomless Mimosas" and live music!🥳❤️”

Jambalaya

Jambalaya

$20.00

Spicy rice with sausage and vegetables, served jambalaya-style.

“My wife and I loved Mardi Gras Tuesday—even though the name translates to Tuesday Fat Tuesday ;-). The restaurant offers many of the Cajun/Creole standards we know and love, and everything we tasted was excellent. Jambalaya is one of my favorites and MGT's is quite good. I prefer drier versions of the dish, like MGT's, and this one is spicy and delicious. We have far too few Cajun restaurants nearby, so MGT is worth the trip.”

Fish

Po Boys

Plant-Based Sausage and Onions

$20.00

Plant-based sausage and onions fill a po' boy-style sandwich.

“I know I might be partial to southern creole comfort food, but this place was FANTASTIC! I went for brunch with my friend because I was craving shrimp and grits, ended up getting that to share with the crab cake and crawfish Benedict with a side of gumbo, and OMG delicious. Pair that with the super attentive server topping off my bottomless mimosas and the name checking in to see how we were getting along, superb! I live in Thousand Oaks and this is one place in L.A. I'll make the trek to. YUM”

Heart of Palm & Mushroom Po'Boy

$20.00

Heart of palm and mushroom fill this New Orleans-style sandwich.

“October 2024 Great service! Love the atmosphere here. Came in for drinks and the bar was very nice and clean. I got their house cab, and my friend got Jalapeno Merdi-rita. I'll be back for their mushroom poboy! I'm excited ask about their vegan options because I didn’t even know what they had until I asked. He did say it’s on the menu, but I guess I totally missed it. We really just came in for drinks. Sept 2025 Ordered Vegetarian gumbo and a lemon drop”
