Creole 2 Geaux

I absolutely love Creole 2 Geaux, I try to get their special Po Boys as often as I can. They make everything fresh right behind the counter and you can see them do it. I've had few things off their menu and a few staff recommendations, they have never steered me wrong. I've not once had a bad meal from here. The vibe of their stand in the East Market is very cute and very on brand with the Louisiana vibe. Their work area looks very cleans and the staff are very nice. The food comes out hot and the wait is never that terrible. If there is a bit of wait, trust me that it's worth it and you should totally stop by if you're in the area!

Creole 2 Geaux has solid eats of New Orleans inspired bites while offering specials that don't miss. Located in the East Market, this is another spot in my favorite Columbus food hall.We had the shrimp po boy with fries, the Bourbon chicken with spicy & regular rice, a chicken parm egg roll & fried okra. A solid smorgasbord.Food was pricy (north of $40) but was a hearty meal that had leftovers. It took about 15 minutes for us to get our food, making our food fresh to order.The fries and po boy were knockout flavor. Absolutely no notes, it was actually incredible. Second best po boy I've ever had. Fries were seasoned well and fresh as hell. Chicken parm egg roll was fun but a bit lackluster, okra serviced well too.The bourbon chicken is the first thing you see on the somewhat limited menu, making it the standout. Unfortunately for me, it was the opposite on flavor. The chicken mix was super sweet, which was a big disappointment. My partner didn't mind it, especially mixed with the rice (which we both liked) but it was super disappointing since it was the first bourbon chicken Ive had that I didn't enjoy. Overall this place has a lot to offer in terms of flavor, which left us both overall positive with our time. Definitely not my first choice in the East Market, but a solid & serviceable meal!

This was my first time here a few weeks ago at the East Market. I got the shrimp po boy with fries. I was not disappointed! The sandwich had plenty of shrimp and a delicious sauce and the fries were seasoned well. They were sold out of the soul rolls which I wanted to try, but I'll be back.

So many choices at the East Market but bourbon chicken sounded like real comfort food. Ordered it with half white and half spicy rice. A generous portion was received and topped with scallions. Very tasty with a bit of a kick.Definitely would order it again

Went to East Market, first and foremost this area is being "revitalized." (gentrified) The line for Creole 2 Geaux was a few people deep, only two people working. The East Market is similar to North Market, lots of small businesses. First time there, ordered Bourbon Chicken with Half & Half Rice and shrimp w/ a buffalo chicken roll on the side. The customer service was great, placed my order and waited maybe 10mns. However the food was mediocre at best. I think I paid $6 for 5 pieces of shrimp, that looked and tasted days old. *heavy sigh* The spicy rice was a little too spicy for and not a-lot of bourbon chicken sauce.

Delicious food, super friendly service, and very welcoming to someone like me who doesn't really know anything about Creole food. I'm not in the neighborhood often, but when I am, this is an excellent option for lunch.The bourbon chicken wasn't too sweet, and I appreciated the option to get half regular rice, half seasoned rice, because I am a wimp when it comes to spicy :-) That mix made it the perfect level of sinus-clearing without being overwhelming. Would definitely eat here again.

Visiting the East Market first time and Creole 2 Geaux just stood out to me. Stood front of the place looking at the menu and just couldn't decide what to order because everything sounded great, plus I was hungry. So I went with the Bourbon chicken and was asked if I wanted white rice or Spicy rice, I picked spicy. The guy that took my order wasn't friendly nor was he rude. He was just very indifferent to what he was doing. It took about less then 5 minutes to get my food. I was super excited, but the excitement didn't last that long. The food came in a small container and when I opened the container, there wasn't that much food in it. The food was very sweet. I expected it to be a little sweet, but the sweet level was too much for my liking. Also, I don't know if they made a mistake or not, but the rice had no spice to it at all. I couldn't tell if they made mistake and gave me just white rice instead of the spicy rice because the rice was all mixed up with the sauce. My meal was just ok, could have been better if there was a little more seasoning. Maybe other items are better then the Bourbon chicken but I don't see myself driving all the way out to East Market to try this place again.

Extremely disappointed! Was really hoping for some fresh and good creole/cajun flavor but it was just missing. The young gentleman working was polite.. I had hoped to experience a bit of Louisiana here.

I've been thinking about Cajun food, so this jumped out at me. Although there are plenty of other options in the East Market. Interesting menu, the usual stuff. A standard menu plus daily specials. I got a special, red beans and rice bowl, and added sausage. And you can pick spicy or regular rice. I got half-and-half. Spicy rice has a little heat but it's not crazy. But I like spicy, so YMMV. There's loads of sausage on top, good flavor in that. Red beans were good. Sprinkled with green onions. Just a really good bowl. Lots of other things on the menu looked good. They have a small drink cooler. Prices are reasonable, and the wait time was short. Definitely coming back.

I ate food from Creole 2 Geaux during my first visit to the East Market in Columbus and the good food and good service definitely contributed to me and the rest of my group wanting to go back to East Market in the future. We ordered the Bourbon Chicken and the portions definitely lent to leftovers. The chicken was juicy and smothered in sauce and topped with some perky chopped green onions and the rice was soft and delectable. We also got an order of beignets and they were sweet and delicious and left me craving more. Even when the server forgot to give me a plastic fork with my order and I had to go back and ask for one, she was super nice and apologetic and even got me a handful of napkins with my fork. I'd definitely recommend to anyone going to East Market looking for good food.
