Cafe Bourbon St

Visited Atlanta this passed weekend and I've been following this spot for a while and loved their content and decided to give them a try. Its ordered the jambalaya egg rolls and the 8 piece bourbon st wings and when I made it back to the Airbnb ready to eat I was disappointed!! For one my wings were still RAW and the egg rolls seemed like they were sitting out all day. I reached out via insta and was told that the crew at that particular location is a new staff and still in training and they will let them know an that I can go back the next day for a free 8 piece but at that point I just wanted a refund because I was just disgusted. I was told that I could get a refund but nothing happened. I tried supporting not just a black owed business but since the business owners are from my city I thought I'd support my ppl but try them out at your own risk.

Being from Louisiana I was SUPER excited to find a piece of home in Atlanta. I went in with zero expectations and honestly I was surprised. The flavors of the food was amazing and were unique, I must admit. Truthfully the service, the entire set up, the music.. everything was nice! I'm not really sure what they are doing with that space but I definitely see potential for that place to offer a lot more in the future! My only downfall about this place is that my wings were cooked just a little bit to hard. I felt as if they were cooked really fast causing them to burn rather than to cook because the inside of my meat was a little pink. Unfortunately I had to throw the rest of my food away but on a positive note I was perfectly fine the next day.But after reading other reviews and seeing other photos I definitely want to try the chicken and beignets disregarding my previous experience with their chicken just to give them one more shot.

NO VALID LOCATION!! Tried driving to the Windsor street address - No dice. Then tried the Murphy St. Address from the website. No luck there either!! When you call the number, they ask you to text, but they don't respond. What a waste of time!!! I get that it's a food truck and probably move around to different locations, but you HAVE to keep the public informed!!

Just ok...New Orleans Beignets are definitely better...I think what made me disappointed was the girls attitude...no acknowledgement whatsoever so ever...she saw us ordering on the iPad while she's leaning in a car...once we paid she informed us there weren't any beignets; when we asked how long the wait was she once again did not acknowledge us. Once we finally got her to respond to us, we were told ten minutes which turned into 45 minutes...beignets were over beat...southern hospitality we did not get

I had a craving for beignets and Cafe Bourbon St was recommended, and I'm so glad I tried it! This is a former food truck now in a permanent location I believe, and the food is made fresh to order! I arrived a little but before opening, and there were 2 other people waiting. The parking lot is quite big (and free!). This location at least is card only, no cash accepted. After placing my order, I waited ~20 minutes for the food to come out. I believe they ordinarily text you when your order is ready, but I never received a text but the worker came and handed me my food directly, which was very nice. The seating area is also very nice, and on a warmer day I'm sure would be a great place to sit. The shrimp was delicious, and the fries were well seasoned, on the soft side. My favorite part was the pecan praline beignets. They're a great texture, very light and not to sweet, with the praline sauce providing a great addition!

So I'm all about New Orleans food so I had to give it a shot. Cafe Bourbon Street is a food truck so it's not a standard brick and mortar (at this location) so just keep that in mind. If you are going to try to go, make sure you download the app so that you can order your food and get it in a timely fashion. They run it as first come first serve so it gives you a better chance to get in and out as soon as possible.Service was good, I don't have any complaints. You're waiting around but everybody's nice and friendly who's taking your order. I ordered the food while I was on the freeway and by the time I got there it was just getting done and bagged so that worked out really well. Again, I would 101% suggest you download the app instead of getting it and waiting around. When I was there to work a lot of people there but I know that there could be quite a bit of people there giving the fact that I read some reviews on it. So you want to go ahead and make sure you do your due diligence.I went with the Cajun fried shrimp and the jambalaya egg roll. The Cajun fried shrimp was good, it could have used more seasoning but I understand that you want to make sure that you don't inundate somebody with seasonings because they may not like it and once you put it on you can't take it off. But if you're coming for New Orleans food, I want to hear and feel and taste that spice! But the shrimp was good. I actually did dip it in some cocktail sauce when I got home, just to help it alone but I would get it again though honestly.I don't really do beignets but I had to try it just because why not lol. If you like them, you will be satisfied I assume. They come with maybe three of them or so, Dusted and all the powdered sugar that looks like snowfall lol. They also have shrimp that is sauced in a sweet and spicy sauce kind of situation and now it's actually really good as well. These sauced up shrimp came dripping with sauce and had green onion garnished on them as well. Really good. I didn't need anything extra for them, like the casa sauce I use for the regular fried shrimp. Solid attempt! Next time I would probably consider getting that instead of the regular but I want to see what the regular tasted like first and foremost before I bitch it off into sauces!Now I've saved this for the last part of review, the jambalaya egg roll. This joint was a hit! It came in too long egg rolls couldn't have and it was drizzled in some beautiful spicy sauce. That situation right there was a winner! That could have been the meal and I would have been happy lol. Well I would have wanted more but you get the point lol! You can make out large rings of sausage, rice, everything you would find in jambalaya. That joint was bussin with flavor, that I didn't know I needed until that moment in time.When I go back, most likely so. The guy who was at the front of the truck was super nice and super friendly and very inviting. I would definitely like to go back for more. Now just as a precaution, it is a food truck so unless you eat it there some of the things may not hold up in the car ride home depending on how long it takes. For example the French fries were nothing special and I think that they suffered because of all the steam made them soggy. Now I will say there are people out in the parking lot in in the area of the food truck who didn't even wait to get home, they just start smashing the food in the car and at the seat they were sitting at. I understand why because it's going to be hot and fresh right off the gate! Either way, just want to let you know that consideration because fried food doesn't always hold up when it's putting a steam box so keep that in mind. But either way it goes, this was a win.

I love to support local businesses and this particular vendor I discovered through IG. A few tips to assist patrons on a smooth and easy ordering experience are below.1.) Download the Cafe Bourbon St. App 2.) Place your order on said App3.) Check in with the host upon arrivalKeep in mind this is a food truck and the food is cooked to order. Expect your wait time to be at least 30 mins, but faster if you order on the app. There is ample parking and a food truck park with lots of seating so that you and your party can sit back, relax and enjoy the sun or the shade. If you want some time to pass by quickly, order a snowball and by the time you finish that, your wait time should be half way. I wouldn't recommend visiting the food truck if you're in a hurry because again there is a wait.The only suggestion I'd make to the the owners and host would to provide a wait expectation for your patrons so customers know what to expect after they place their orders. Other than the wait, the food was delicious and I'll continue to support this business when I'm in the area.I ordered a Shrimp Po Boy and Cajun fries. The shrimp was well seasoned and the Cajun sauce elevated the flavor of the sandwich and fries. The owners and host were friendly and the waiting area was clean and tidy.

This food truck in ATL is delicious. You'll find it in a food truck park at this address. Cafe Bourbon ALWAYS has the longest line. I'd recommend downloading their app and ordering ahead. When you get there just tell them your name and they'll make your food. It's like skipping the line. The food is great. If it's Sunday, I highly recommend getting the chicken and beignets. Otherwise, any of the wing meals are great. I love upgrading to the bourbon ranch fries for $1. Come early if you want to eat here. And enjoy the other food trucks around while you're there!

I got the Cajun shrimp basket! It was so damn good. It was seasoned perfectly, a nice amount, and truly delicious. I waited in line about 10 minutes but my food did not disappoint. I appreciate the fresh food and great price point.

The food here was pretty good. There is one lady working and you get a side of rude for free. Man she was mean but I get it. It's hot and she's solo. Perhaps the new location is the better spot now but I won't be back to the food truck. That said, the food was worth a try.
