Party of 9 on a Friday night. Great service and even better food!!! Never disappoints!!

Went here for dinner and saw Jim Cantore on the way out!! Would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Very old restaurant right across the street from the convention center. It listed itself as the original Cajun restaurant. It has a very cool Louisiana feel and music playing. They do have an area up in front that does sell gear shirts, etc. Our waitress was incredibly friendly. She was very helpful talking us through some of the food options as well as just being a cheerful fun server. We first ordered alligator bites, this is the first time I've ever had alligator and it was chewy but I had a good taste and really good breading. Then for our main course, we had i'll be taking off gumbo, with shrimp. It was excellent a great taste well spice an excellent bite and loaded down with vegetables and shrimp. We also had a jambalaya which my son said was incredibly good. In addition, we had pot roast mashed potatoes and grilled corn. It's probably some of the best pot roast I've ever had in my life. The mashed potatoes were plain, but with a perfect addition to an incredibly flavorful roast. The corn was a little dry. But gave a bite to the food. We also had a couple drinks the New Orleans standard hurricane. It was really very sweet. Tasted a lot like Hawaii and punch, but still good. and also an old-fashioned, which was not very strong, but had a nice balance of tastes.

We went in between 7 and 8 on a Wednesday. We were seated right away by a really friendly guy. Our server, Jason, came by to ask us about drinks. He was a really nice guy and very patient with us in ordering. There's just a lot to choose from. He gave several recommendations and was honest about what other customers like and don't like. We settled on sharing the grilled seafood platter. Everything was great! I don't typically like green beans at restaurants, but instead of being washed in bacon grease and soggy bacon these had crispy real crumbled bacon on top. The seafood was all perfectly seasoned. My only complaint was that the meal didn't include a full piece of catfish but a filet that seemed to have been cut in half. The restaurant is spacious inside with large dance floor in the middle. There was something Zydeco music the night we were there.

Cajun and creole are very similar dishes but how they taste are completely different in my opinion. If you want to try Cajun food in New Orleans I recommend coming to Mulate's not only are they delicious they also have live music sometimes Service was good our server was friendly and didn't take a while to get our food or get seated

The food, the service, and the ambiance were great! Our server, Will, was so friendly and funny, he definitely added to a great experience. The corn bread and the bread pudding were absolutely delicious in all the right ways from the temperatures to the texture and the flavors! Note on the bread pudding, if you don't like raisins, it comes with raisins but I would still recommend trying it. We were all happy with our food and would go back if we're in the area. They have live Cajun music and if you're celebrating a birthday, they'll play the birthday song and even bring up the birthday person. You can make song requests too. The place is decorated with various paintings all around which were fun to take in as we walked over to our table. Definitely recommend checking Mulate's out if you're in the area.

This was a cute Cajun restaurant right around the corner from the hotel, right near the convention center. Very convenient for a late, casual dinner. The hours are a bit shorter during the week (closed early week when I was there, but check hours direct with restaurant). We came in very close to close due to this (which I hate doing), but they were able to seat us and service was wonderful from John K. The food was outstanding and it was a nice quiet night! The fish strips were some of the lightest and best catfish I've ever had and the gator bites with the recommended blackened preparation were delicious with the remoulade). Added a side of corn hush puppies which again, were just delicious!! Would love to come back to try more of the amazing items on the menu, have a hurricane and catch the live music! Great experience!

The food was sooo good, but the bill was quite hefty... given that we did order extra apps and sides. The inside is huge & they had live music in the back, which made the visit even more delightful! Our server was extremely kind and always made sure to satisfy our needs and correct our orders like replacing the teas that were too sweet and swapping the sizes of the etouffee. I didn't really care for the lump crab beignets, the filling was a bit too sweet for me, and the inside was wet and doughy. The fried gator bites tasted like calamari, I enjoyed these so much! The mozzarella sticks were BIG and yummy. The cheese was oozing out. Caesar salad was a classic as always. They chop the lettuce into smaller pieces. The truffle fries were my FAVORITE. They tasted just as amazing as they smelled. They were crispy for the most part, and I seriously could not stop reaching for them. I got the shrimp etouffee, and it was okay. Flavor wise, it could have used a bit more seasoning. Also, I don't think the rice was cooked all the way through because it was hard. My friend got the chef's special pasta. It wasn't that great in my opinion. Noodles were too soft, and the sauce was bland. Once again, it needed extra seasoning. I got to try some of the stuffed jumbo shrimp as well, and wow that was actually packed with a whole ton of flavor!!! If I wasn't so stuffed, I could've eaten more. Definitely check this place out. The vibes are nice!
