My friends and I stopped here for a quick bite and we were pleasantly surprised! The food came out hot and fresh and the menu had a large variety. I chose the mahi sandwich and the bread was so delicious and perfectly toasted, the fish was flakey as well.The staff was very friendly and very attentive.

Service was excellent! We had a wonderful server who made wonderful recommendations. Although we were enticed by the avocado mango dip, we went with the crab and sweet potato fritters with a side of chipotle sauce and it was delicious! It had a nice kick to it, and was more sweet potato than crab , which we loved. For the tacos, we went with the big plate, sampling our favorite 4 And each was delicately prepared and plated. My favorite was the chili glazed shrimp, and Green chili chicken and fried cauliflower were yummy too. They really have the flavor profile down well. Corn tortillas, were a little small, but it hit the spot. This plate is easy to share. Although roasted veggies may not be your first choice as a side, they pair very nicely, are well. Seasoned, and add some much-needed fiber to the meal. The sweet plantains traditional Caribbean and good. My only concern with this experience was the uncomfortable seats. It would have been nice to have some cushion, instead of sitting on the metal chair. I felt like I was slipping after a little while. Overall great vibes!

We are regularly here on a many given weekend. The Rum House is an absolute gem! From the vibrant atmosphere to the incredible food and drinks, this spot hits all the right notes.Their menu is a delicious mix of Caribbean-inspired dishes with bold and fresh flavors. The tacos are a must-try--so creative and packed with flavor--and their sides, like the coconut rice and sweet plantains, are the perfect additions. And let's not forget the drinks! Whether you're craving a classic mojito or one of their unique rum cocktails, the bar menu is top-notch.One of the things I love most about The Rum House is that it's dog-friendly! As long as you sit outside, your furry friend is welcome to join you while you dine. It's such a fun and laid-back spot to enjoy with your pup by your side.The service is always friendly and attentive, and the outdoor seating adds to the relaxed, tropical vibe. Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch, date night, or just to enjoy some time with your dog, The Rum House is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Rum House is a solid spot in NOLA with amazing redfish perfectly seasoned with a delicious smoked flavor. The drinks are strong and well-made, so you're definitely getting your money's worth.The queso with beef is a must-try rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. And if you go, Taco Tuesday is a must! $7 drinks and $4tacos I highly recommend the Drew Brees and chili glazed shrimp tacos. On top of that, the service is great, with friendly staff and great service. It was so good we went twice in a week!

The food here is top of the line I can't get over the fact that I ordered 4 different tacos and it came out in like 5 minutes! It was like fast home cooked soup food or something never experienced anything like it before! The patty and plantains are delicious as well and I loved the art all over the place the ambiance was really giving New Orleans hometown gem!

We're always at The Rum House lol. We do Taco Tuesday there a lot, even though the deal isn't fantastic. $4 tacos, but the Mr. Biggs plate is always $21 for four tacos with 2 sides, so... but regardless, it's worth it, and very tasty. The service seems to be improving! We always enjoy sitting on that little busy corner of magazine looking out the big windows, people watching during our meal. It captures a NOLA vibe very well.

If The Rum House was transported to Negril beach, you'd sit down and never leave - that's how relaxing it is inside. Reggae music, $5 Red Stripes, friendly wait staff, and a delicious assortment of creative Caribbean-inspired fare make this a must-visit spot on Magazine Street. Surrounded by curated vintage clothing shops, it's a nice change of pace from the hustle and noise of Bourbon Street - and in fact this locale is a local favorite. So if you need a break from gumbo and beignets, this is a great spot.

Rum House is a very popular place in New Orleans for good tacos and Margheritas. I've been here a few times in the past and have always enjoyed the food.This time we came closer to closing and were seated outside in the furthest table to the left. The table we sat at was not very well lit and we struggled reading out menus. We got chips and queso to share and for dinner I ended up getting the Taco Trifecta with shrimp tacos and the cornbread dressing. The food is consistently good, I was not disappointed. I asked about salsa but there was an additional charge for that so we opted out. Service: Service was a little slow this night, but it was most likely because it was towards the end of the night and they were winding down.Drinks: The Rum House is known for their Margheritas. They have a huge variety of options.Parking: Street parking on Magazine is paid parking, but the trick is to park a block off of Magazine street for free parking. Outside Seating: Lots of outdoor seating.Pets: Pets are allowed outside.

The taco trifecta was amazing! I had the crispy Mahi Mahi, Jerk chicken and Brisket with a side of black beans. It made my taste buds dance!

We stopped by here on a whim since we went on a walking tour nearby. They have an extensive menu - everything from lamb vindaloo to different types of tacos. I order a Jamaican Me Crazy and it was phenominal. The BF order the Painkiller, he wasn't a huge fan. Seems like my drink was the winner. Mom ordered a lamb Vandeloo, which she loved, but it didn't have enough meat on it in her opinion. BF and I ordered the nachos and the ribs which we split between one another. The nachos were amazing, but we couldn't finish them. They were huge. The ribs were great - BF said he loved the ribs. The sauce was super flavorful. Our server was very nice and hospitable. Bathrooms are single stall. Restaurant was clean. Overall an awesome place for lunch, happy hour, whatever.
