Louisiana Purchase

The Louisiana Purchase restaurant truly delivers when it comes to authentic Southern comfort food. I tried the catfish, collard greens, and mac and cheese, and they did not disappoint. The catfish was perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and tender inside. The collard greens had just the right amount of seasoning, and the mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and downright indulgent.Beyond the food, the vibes at Louisiana Purchase are chill and inviting. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with friends or family. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a leisurely evening, this place hits the spot. Highly recommend for anyone craving some solid Southern cuisine!

Always my go to restaurant when I have someone visiting in town! Food and drinks are always served to perfection. Ambiance is great, quite a bit of seating and never really have to wait. My service was epic. Charde ensured everything was to our table liking and was heaven sent. Need I say more a must try restaurant to get your cravings fixed for some good southern food! See y'all next time!!

Everything was fantastic. My brother went to college in New Orleans and we spent many years exploring the flavors of Louisiana and this place transports us right back. Unlike so many of San Diego's restaurants, Louisiana Purchase gets to the heart of what an eatery should be: the food! Plus, the atmosphere really took it home. Abraham was our server. He was so lovely and took care of us. A great place to celebrate my birthday :)

We were so excited to score a last minute reservation on a Friday night as we have been meaning to try out LP. We tried the Gator Bites, Lemon Pepper Catfish with two sides of Dirty Rice, Dooky Chase with a side of grits, the seasonal special of Jambalaya Gnocchi and a separate side order of candied yams. We wrapped up the evening with an order of the beignets- delish!!! The flavors were amazing and portions were generous, so we had plenty of leftovers to take home.A shout out to our server, Ayauna C- she was so warm, welcoming and super efficient. She provided great recommendations. We enjoyed every single dish we ordered and can't wait to return and try others.

Came to LP for the first time to kick off pride week in SD and see the fabulous production of bayou babes! Tink is such an amazing host and always knows how to keep the energy and vibes GOING! Came with a group of girlies and they opened up shortly after noon so the line to get in moved quickly. The queens did their thing and put on a great show! I had forgotten to bring cash but luckily they had the queens Venmo qr code on some flyers around the restaurant so that made it easy for me to tip them out. As to parking, I found street parking on the north side of university and had to walk out of my way to get to the cross walk. Note: park on the south side of university for easier walking access. The service was taking a while, we didn't get to order our food till more than an hour later and the table behind us, who was seated after and ordered after got the apps before we did. Luckily our drinks did get there early enough, and boy did they all look so fun! The kool aid drink looked like the crowd fave, I ordered the gin cocktail which wasn't too sweet but delicious! As to food, we ordered the biscuits, which are huge! And for the main course, I was torn between the chicken and waffles and the oxtail omelet and the server suggested I go with the oxtail since it's not your typical brunch item, and they were right! It was so good and it was such a big portion I had leftovers for lunch later. I hope they do bayou babes again so I can come back and try the chicken and waffles

Had an amazing time!! Louisiana purchase was a restaurant that I wanted to try anyway and it was so amazing that there was a babes brunch drag show!! We had a blast!!!The food was incredible! I had an alligator omelette and my friend had the fried catfish and grits both a 10/10!!!!! They also have great cocktails too, I'll be back soon !!!! Randy killed it as it was totally packed, was so attentive and even had recommendations on where to park Inside is a cute little bar area with a club stage, and a huge wrap around outdoor patio. Cute decor also maintains the Louisiana vibe-

Girrrrrllllll, This place has been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to go! I stopped in for dinner with a friend and it really is the perfect place to catch up with a good meal! I ordered the lemon pepper catfish, and was not disappointed. The breading was freaking delicious! For my two sides, I ordered the beans and rice-they were so rich and flavorful, and the Mac and cheese. My god, the Mac and cheese was divine. I often find myself disappointed in Mac and cheese side orders at restaurants because the noodles absorb too much cheese or it's just straight velveeta. But not at Louisiana purchase! Like I said, this Mac and cheese was divine. Seasoned beautifully and it's a pretty good sized portion! Everything was delicious and I already made plans with another friend to get dinner here next week. Great service, great vibe, and especially great food!

Good service! Very friendly atmosphere. Food arrives at a reasonable time and we didn't have to wait long. Overall 9/10!
