Krewe Restaurant

Krewe is a vibrant space with tons of references to its southern NOLA roots. The service is very friendly and helpful from the get go.The real standout on top of everything though is the food. Starting with the cornbread, heaping with tons of butter, it's a perfect initiation to your meal. Next up was the Crab Cakes, which were top tier. No matter you were, let alone in St. Joseph, MN. Creamy, savory interior with a crisp yet soft enough exterior form. The remoulade and cocktail sauce (both homemade) only added to an already great dish.Finally, the crawfish étouffée had a nice kick, great flavors, and was perfectly filling for an individual meal. If you're craving some Cajun/creole food, you can't do much better than this!

When you sit down at Krewe it is easy to forget you are in a small college town in Minnesota. The decor, the beverages, the food- this is a big city experience. I was in town on business so only had time for lunch but the food was fantastic. The Ettoufaie (butchering the spelling) reminded me of The first time I tried the dish in Memphis. (Yes, I know it's more of a NOLA dish, but that was where I tried it first) Tasty food and beverages, excellent service. Highly recommend

Wow what a great experience! Our waitress Callie was the absolute best. She had such great energy and was so kind in explaining the menu and offering suggestions since it was our first time at Krewe. The food was served in a shareable style so between two people we ordered an appetizer, large plate, shareable plate, and dessert, and we were stuffed by the end of it! All of it was so so delicious, and not pictured because we were too excited.. THE BREAD ROLLS! Krewe has a neighboring bakery which provides the bakery items to the restaurant and I'm not joking when I say these are the best rolls I've ever had. And they were served with a honey butter!! I could've eaten 12 of them. The restaurant was pretty quiet for a weekday night so no reservation was needed. There's also nearby lot parking as well as street parking. I can't wait to go back and try more things from their menu!

Really nice restaurant in Saint Joseph with a Nawlins menu and a great beer list including beers from a variety of breweries. The food was really good and well prepared. The hush puppies were delicious and had a spicy kick. The breading on the catfish was amazing. The stuffed pork chop was a ton of food and really good and the carne asada was tender and delicious. Only minor complaint was it is geared more as a sharing thing and we are it more as entrees. My stuffed pork chop pretty much came out after everyone else was done with their food even though we ordered at the same time. But still it is worth checking out if you're in town!

Lovely lunch at Krewe. Thanks to Lauren for the excellent service. Would have loved to meet Mateo - maybe next time.The only downside to the meal was the Blackberry Highball. It was very sour and I couldn't taste any fruit. A definite pass.This was a solo trip so I wish they would offer a sampler so I could try more items. Smaller portions of Gumbo, Étouffée and Jambalaya would make an excellent sampler.I started with the Boudin Lumpia. Homemade Boudin was very good and the sauce was excellent. A don't miss.Then on to the Crawfish Étouffée. Great spicy flavor to clear your sinuses but not overpowering. Excellent flavor and presentation. A different interpretation that tastes right out of New Orleans despite some ingredient changes. It doesn't come with bread so I ordered a side and the butter was really good. Bread pudding for dessert. It was very good and the sauce was excellent. I prefer mine with some raisins or other add-ins. Still, it disappeared from my plate.Would have loved to try the Brabant potatoes but it would have been too much.I drove 2 hours each way to dine here and I was excited/dreading my visit. There have been so many Cajun/Creole places that I have tried that were awful that I really was worried. It is worth the drive.A little insight. They bake all-purpose flour on a sheet pan for at least 3 hours in the oven at 300 degrees to bring a more nutty robust taste to their roux.

Such a great dining experience! The vibe is a southern comfort New Orleans energy. We tried a few things on the menu, but I ordered the jambalaya and hush puppies. The jambalaya was a little too salty for my taste but it was full of flavor. BUT the palate cleanser was the bread pudding! It was by far the best I've ever had anywhere! Service was quick and efficient! If I'm ever back in MN, I would absolutely return.

A chance stop for lunch with BFF and we turned the moment into a gourmet dining experience. I ordered the "BBQ" shrimp and the whole time I was smiling, oooo-ahhh, over the flavors.Outdoor seating was wonderful (except for one pesky fly) and our server was fun, attentive, and informative. Can't beat that!Only downside for a return visit is $$$

I was going to St Cloud with friends and after reading reviews on this place I knew I wanted to try it. Got there for happy you where they offer BOGO's on wine by the glass and tap beer. My friend and I I split the bogo and enjoyed a very respectable glass of Sangiovese (I highly recommend). For dinner I was dying for some good Cajun cooking (their specialty) so I ordered the crawfish etouffee, spicy and delicious (not Minnesota spice ). My friends ordered the shrimp jambalaya and shrimp bisque. They were very pleased with their decisions. I have to tell you, though, the star of the meal was the deliciously fluffy dinner roll with honey butter and a little salt on top. Sooooo good.Didnt take a picture as I saw it and needed to get it in my mouth immediately. Service was a little slow, but everyone was friendly and helpful. I would go back.

Food, service...all amazing! Best restaurant in St Cloud area! .

Excellent food and great server. Loved everything about this restaurant! Brought back memories of New Orleans.
