Reviews of Café Reconcile
Highly recommend. The flavor of the food was 👩🍳💋 I had the fried catfish & my wife had the white bean/shrimp special. Sooooo good! You can tell they are learning the ropes so go in with that expectation for service. I saw several people coaching in the moment....what a great way to get on the job training. Tip well! They are all working hard!
Where to even start?? The premise behind this place is to teach and mentor youth. Add to that the food is amazing and you can see how they are a success... I highly recommend coming in for a meal, the catfish plate was fantastic and the jalapeño cornbread should not be missed! My wife had the fried green tomato sandwich with the sweet potato crumble, another great dish... Stop and meet the friendly and helpful staff, you wont be disappointed!
The food was amazing. We had the fried fish and the lemon pepper fish. The custom service was very professional and attentive
My first time here for brunch and it was wonderful; food, service and all!!
Getting some amazing food at Cafe Reconcile, a really neat place where they "transform the lives of young adults by encouraging personal growth, providing workforce development and training, and equipping young people with tools to achieve their potential." Highly recommend.
Food portions were amazing for the cost. Absolutely loved the gumbo. The burger was spectacular, didn't even need dress it with anything else. The rice and beans was so filling. Didn't realize it came with sausage, else I wouldn't have ordered a side of it! Sooo filling.
Will be back again soon.
A great meal just a short Uber ride from Canal street New Orleans. Gumpo was prepared by our server, the shrimp po boy was presented well and a huge portion. Jalapeno cornbread went well in gumbo. A winner all around!
Setting aside their very worthy mission, this is one of those rare places that you can tell every ingredient and everything done to it along the way has been studied and perfected and passed down, but comes together in a way that isn’t at all overwrought. Really some of the best, most artfully put together food I’ve ever had. I am really hoping to find a copy of their cookbook.
I absolutely love the crabcakes! Awesome service and family friendly atmosphere. ❤️
Highly recommended. Great value. Great tastes. Good vibes.
This restaurant has great food but the a few times there has been something interesting happening. Like, today, the system us down. I was asked to pay cash. Last time I was refused dessert, after my meal because the restaurant was closing. That helps me make a decision to return or not.
This is an EXCELLENT..place ..it's actually a restaurant that's sort of a help to troublesome youth program..to help them and train them to a great path and opportunity to be someone Great at a Chef/ Cook .. the food and service is EXCELLENT. Who ever came up with this 💡 ..is not only Brilliant but an awesome person for helping our Youth.. they are only open from 11 30 am to 1 30 pm ..the tips go to the school program to keep it going.. you can tip the staff or the program..we did Both ..God bless 🙌 this place ...Again EXCELLENT all around.
Apart from the wholesome mission this restaurant has, the food is amazing! We had the incredibly delicious turkey neck, the catfish and the BLFGT sandwich and it was all super good! Would highly recommend!
Absolutely LOVED my experience here. We were greeted with a smile, awesome service, and great food. Will definitely come back when in NO. Please support this awesome cafe.
Delicious - we had the fried green tomato sandwich, gumbo, sweet potato crumble, mac n cheese and fries. All highly recommended. Friendly service, a lovely environment, and very good vibes. All for a good cause, too! Can’t recommend enough.
Visiting Reconcile is by far one of the best experiences of our trip to New Orleans. We found out about it because of Anthony Bourdain's show and the story behind its existence is beautiful, we wanted to go just for the cause in itself, but we were happily overwhelmed by the food. It was AMAZING, the seasoning of the food, the presentation of the plates, the service of the staff and I cannot emphasize it enough: THE TASTE OF THE FOOD is incredible. The prices are great as well, the three of us had big meals and dessert all for 53 dollars. I would recommend it to whoever visits New Orleans and encourage to find out the story behind the place, get involved with it and support the project because the outcome is astonishing.
Good food, price is right and the staff while young is enthusiastic. The restuarant does a great service, they teach young people how to work and not just in the food industry.
Simple affordable food items. Food taste good and you know it's for a good cause. I love the sweet potato. The catfish was a little bland but overall it was a good lunch.
Delicious food with a great program that trains local youth in the hospitality industry. Had the Friday special, eggplant jubilee which was a casserole with eggplant, shrimp, and cheese.
Been living here 7 years and could have been enjoying it ALL THIS TIME 💜. The mac& cheese and pineapple upside down cake were the standouts to me …
Another great meal from Cafe Reconcile which is back open. Expanded dining room with plenty of seating and a lovely courtyard. Pleasant helpful staff (thanks Mynique!).
Wonderful experience- friendly, fast service, amazing food, giant portions, fantastic prices and nice atmosphere. A co worker brought a group of us there and we were just all super impressed with everything and their mission. Can’t recommend enough!
Love the Atmosphere, very friendly service and great food 👍 …
The fried green tomatoe sandwich with bacon was too salty. The bread, which is corn bread was ok. Potatoe salad was bland. Co worker had fried portobello mushroom sandwich on french which she enjoyed and watermelon lemonade which she loved. Sauce for bread pudding was gritty, sugar not cooked properly.Service was great and pleasant atmosphere with easy parking in their lot.
One of the best restaurants ive been to in a while. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic especially with how close to closing we came and the overall mission of the restaurant was inspiring. Thank you!
Amazing place to go! It is very nice inside the café is really big you can see the workers prepare your order quick speedy service workers were all smiles very patient and outgoing and everyone their is very friendly 10/10 recommend visiting!!
The shrimp po boy was really good (the batter was just right, and they use quality bread from a local bakery). I highly recommend the banana foster bread pudding as well.
We had a wonderful lunch here one of our best in a week long stay in New Orleans. The food and the servers are topnotch at great prices. Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Would definitely return. One of the best. A block or so away is the museum of Southern food and drink too. Thank you Reconcile for making our visit to NOLA even more memorable! This is a not to missed place in NOLA.
Cafe Reconcile is amazing the atmosphere, staff & food exceeded my expectations! Had the Lentin special the flavors are beyond words, highly recommend.
I had the fried chicken, collard greens, and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious! Chill New Orleans vibe, good service...I will be back.
A great place for lunch. Gourmet cuisine with a soulful touch. This is settled in the youth empowerment community. The food is delicious.
Friendly atmosphere, and Friendly staff. Food was served 🔥. Will come back 😋
I visited today, but only had a very short time to eat. Mike sat my party and I, cater to our needs, and served us quickly. He was super fast and attentive. The food.. oh wow! I ordered the Jerk chicken, mac and cheese and mixed veggies. It was sooo good! Perfect temp, well plated, just awesome.
I go to Cafe Reconcile often and enjoy the food. The shrimp & white beans dish is great. It took me a long time to try it because I had never eaten it before. I grew up eating white beans with sausage and rice. Eating it with shrimp didn’t seem right. But I like white beans and I like shrimp. My friend convinced me to try it. I’m glad I did. You should try it. You’ll be glad too
This was my second time eating at Café Reconcile and I enjoy my lunch both times. When I first when there we are our food at the restaurant, and the staff was great and the restaurant was clean.
March 16, 2017. Cafe Reconcile is the best restaurant that I ever been to. The chicken has a zing to the flavor, the mac & cheese is so cheesy that makes you want more, and the jalapeno corn bread is tangy and out of this world. The service was great, the food is fabulous, and the people are so nice. I hope I can go again and eat some more of their fabulous food.
Both times I've been here it's been great. Service was on point, affordable as well. I never had collard greens better than what my grandma made until I came here. I wish they were open for dinner too.
Brought my mom here for lunch when she was visiting from Arizona. SHE LOVED IT. This is usually my go-to place for lunches. I love the mission, food, and service. I also cater from and hold events here often as well. I have never been disappointed. Shout out to Lisa North!!
Top notch place with a wonderful mission to help our community
You can veganize some dishes but I simply love love what they are doing for the youth of Nola!
Happy Munchies,
@aVeganAndHer
i genuinely cant find anything to fault about this cafe, the food was mindblowingly good, healthy, inexpensive and filling (i think i paid around $15 for a meal that came with two sides + unlimited french bread). the service was even better - southern hospitality is real, yall. the best part was their mission. so honourable and theyre really saving kids lives. please consider donating to make up for the cheap prices!!
Really enjoyed this place. The restaurant servers were nice and welcoming! I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.
Another I've driven by for years and today I went. Started with an amazing turkey neck and was so pleased to have tried it. It led me to think the rest of the lunch was going to be wonderful. My friends crawfish po-boy made me wish I had also ordered one to go with my crawfish topped grilled catfish! Friendly staff and nice environment. I did notice a few tables with crumbs underneath, but this is understandable if you are familiar with the bread they use for the sandwiches--it's the best choice...
Great food and with a great mission! You can't go wrong with the catfish plate! I have had some specials that are ok, but the catfish is on point with the green beans ... mmmm so good! Sometimes the staff is ok but ya gotta be patient, these kids are just learning so show them some love :)
A friend surprised me with lunch thru Uber eats from this place and it was awesome!!! I had the sesame glazed salmon with mixed veggies and a side salad (not pictured) and it was sooooooooo good. It was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be eating from this place more often.
Good food. Good service. Good price.
Just a note to say Thank You to Cafe Reconcile for the delicious jambalaya they provided to us on Election Day November 3rd. It was enjoyed by all and shared to the many who came into the YMCA. We appreciate your generosity.
Cafe Reconcile is a gem in Central City. Primarily a workforce development organization but also great food. They brought back the fried portabello mushroom sandwich which was my favorite for years. The catfish with Crawfish sauce is a great choice too. They have daily specials so of course try their red beans on Mondays. Staff is friendly and attentive. The chicken and sausage gumbo is delicious!
I love their mission and the food was really good. Im picky about gumbo and theirs was great. Try the Florentine sauce on whatever it is offered on. Oh...and the service was quick, friendly and the right amount of attentiveness.
Awesome joint. Super staff and great food. Wonderful concept. Don't miss this place.
Went there for lunch with some friends my first time there an I enjoyed the food an the atmosphere.. Every one was polite an service was amazing. I shall return soon
REALLY GOOD . My catfish was fried just right. The crawfish saws on perfect. Mac and Cheese was really good to. And the price is really cheap for what I ate. The jalapeno corn bread was good. But a little hard on the edges. Maybe 1-2 mins in the oven too long. But still good. Almost a perfect meal.
We found out about Cafe Reconcile from Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation show (RIP). The entire story of Cafe Reconcile was so positive, we decided to come for lunch even though we just ate breakfast less than an hour ago. The restaurant only open for a few hours during the day, check their hours online. The staffs were so friendly and nice, I really appreciate everything they have done to try better themselves. The foods were delicious, we ordered a large bowl of gumbo and a deep fried crawfish po boy. I would totally come back again the next time I'm in NOLA. Keep up the good work!
The Food was totally good hot and good
We loved it all - the people, the food , the philosophy of giving underprivileged a second chance, - we were blown away and humbled . We were really impressed with everything we saw and ate and we got the privilege to talk / listen to Parnell who had completed his training there and was now an inspiration for others to follow his successful transition and be the best they can be. This place was recommended to us and in no way did it disappoint - it far surpassed our expectations.The people who dedicate their time and effort to run programmes there and the trainees who are doing all they can to make a better life for themselves inspire us to be respectful of all people, to not give up on anyone, each and everyone of us has so much to contribute to society. Go there, eat the wonderful food and show your support for those who are working extremely hard to make a better life for themselves and their families.
We tried this place for lunch because it came up on a google search within walking distance of our St. Charles Ave hotel, and we read about the mission. We were not dissapointed! The food was delicious, the service was great, and the prices were fair.
Last Friday I ordered and picked up a catering order. Just wanted to let you guys know everything was delicious. The order was for a party at a Retirement Home and the Green beans were a big Hit!! Thanks again
Ordered my Thanksgiving dinner and was not disappointed
They have an amazing program there. They truly are being Jesus to the kids that can't seem to find their way. The staff help them to find a way and then once they graduate, they return as mentors. Food is delicious and the servers do a great job!
Dinner last night was perfectly prepared and served by staff that were extremely happy to be there. What a joyful experience!
The Cafe's Mission includes:
"With a new set of marketable skills, students interview for three-week paid Internships that transition into permanent Employment with one of Reconcile’s 39 employment partners. During this phase our youth get valuable experience in a supportive setting and hopefully can secure the offer of a more permanent job. Students without a high school diploma are referred to local HiSET programs and given space and support to work on their learning goals.
Once students are matched with internships/employment, students and their employers work with Reconcile’s Employment and Education Coordinator who provides 12 months of follow-up support to help students and employment partners successfully manage students’ transitions. They are also invited to join Reconcile’s growing Alumni network and have the opportunity to serve on the Reconcile Alumni Council giving back to the community."
Get the delicious sweet & spicy turkey neck, followed by the catfish with crawfish topping, and then the TREMÉndous bread pudding. This place is unreal. Looks very unassuming until they drop the food on you then BAM!! Hooked, fried, and sold. Best bread pudding ever.
The salmon was perfect. The sweet tea was perfect. The greens had the right amount of spice. The bread pudding was excellent.
there are about 40 good reasons to eat here, and all of them work the kitchen or the floor or some aspect of the restaurant. they are young at-risk men and women who aspire to eventually work in some aspect of the hospitality business. some graduates of the program are already working in high-dollar kitchens. go on thursday for the shrimp and white beans. it ain't fancy, but it's darned good, and it's for a mighty fine cause.
Came to this place from Houston and was very impressed. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing!!! Will definitely be back.
What a neat cafe and organization. I ate lunch on “pay what you can” day and enjoyed a delicious meal. I also learned about this organization that provides employment opportunity, training, and other wraparound services to at-risk youth ages 16-24, a mission I fully support. The hospitality industry in NOLA is nothing if not booming and getting these kids working is a great start for many of them!
Great people and great food. Eat there 1-2 times a week. I love it. Also, they really impact young people.
Excellent place. Loved the food. Terrific gumbo. Also they do catering and we got food from them for a party. Certainly happy to support this place and their mission.
We have eaten here several times and always enjoyed the food and people. We have even seen the mayor eating here. Not hard to find a parking spot. Like the new layout. Worth a stop when in New Orleans.
The the girl at the cashier was very helpful , very polite good service all the way and the food was good too
Good place to eat. Reasonably priced, food is always good but venue is small. Worth the wait! You're going to enjoy!!
Apart from the delicious and reasonably priced New Orleans-style cuisine, Café Reconcile is inspiring in its mission to train local youth in the culinary arts. Café Reconcile makes it easy to contribute and support an organization with such a cause, with its open and friendly atmosphere. This is definitely a must-visit when touring Central City.
Three of us had lunch there earlier this week. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Can't beat that!
Will likely eat there again next time we're in town.
Great service. Wonderful food. Large servings. Love that they are helping train individuals in the food industry. Will go back.
I had the Turkey necks and macaroni yesterday and is craving more. Delicious!! One of the best things I've ever eaten.
The service here is awesome. The food is very good especially the bananas foster bread pudding. Great vibe
Friendly staff and excellent food at a great price. This non-profit organization/restaurant is an amazing place to sit down for a meal, and also promotes a good cause.
I was only picking up a uber eats order for a customer but I had to wait for the order. I was able to wait inside the building and listen to the music playing
This place is really great and everyone is so nice and welcoming 🤗 The food was so yummy and dessert was even better. We had the strawberry shortcake with vanilla ice cream 💖 …
One of my favorite places to eat. Wholesome food and very reasonable prices. And you feel good about the staff.
Tuesday special of seafood stuffed green pepper was large and delicious. A place for training young chefs from I think disadvantaged or dubious backgrounds that also offers counseling.
I went to a baby shower on th 2nd floor and it was beautiful. The staff was great, the food was awesome, and the atmosphere was mellow. I have to plan a party there!
I had a great time at Cafe reconcile and the food was really good and it was the best day of my Life and I hope that we can be good class to you all and allow us the class to enjoy your company😊 …

My waiter, Leroy was very professional 👏
I didn’t think I liked catfish until I had it here, with the crawfish sauce!
The service was good for someone learning. They need to study the daily menu and have current knowlege of what food they run out off. I will be back earlier.
(Translation) Very good southern food and affordable prices
