“ Trying to find words for the fried ribs, lobster spring rolls and wings. DELICIOUS!! DELICIOUS!! DELICIOUS!!! We were visiting N.O. for the first time and a friend treated us for lunch before leaving. Thanks Cynthia you picked the best place. Service was great and friendly. If I get a chance to visit N.O. again this will be my first stop!! ”
“ This was my 1st visit, and the food was great. I was with a party of 9, and everyone was extremely happy with their entree. There are lovely views of the golf course. The only reason they didn't get a 5 star rating for the atmosphere is that there were flies inside the restaurant that were hovering on the large windows. As soon as they bought our food to the table, they started flying near our food and one flew in my drink, so I had to get another, and cover it with a napkin in between sips. We also had to fan the flies away as we were eating. We made the best of it and still had a great time. I certainly hope they do what's needed to make the dining experience 100. ”

“ Hey Gentilly peeps - check out this neighborhood gem. The salmon bites really are as good as people say they are. The shrimp and grits are the comfort food. Perfect spice to the shrimp and the grits are so creamy. And speaking of the Keylime pie... get a slice. Then come back for more. Great scenery and thanks for the great service! ”
“ We went to The Munch Factory for lunch today and the food was delicious, delicious, delicious!! The service was A! And the view could not be beat! Our table faced huge windows overlooking a pristine golf course with beautiful oak trees and well kept grounds. Our severs name was Shy and he knew exactly when to get our orders in and fill our drinks! He had fantastic suggestions for starters which we opted for and were not let down! Everything was perfect! Just perfectly perfect. I’d recommend this spot if you’re in NOLA and want a memorable and enjoyable eating experience. Thank you everyone who works here!!! I’ll be back for sure! ”
“ 5/12/24 EDIT: Since I cant add another review without them making me delete the old one ill just add it here! Soooo we came for Mothers Day and once again the food was DELICIOUS! OMG... the plain fried wings were so spot on with the bacon & cheese fries. My family went CRAZZZY over these appetizers we also had blackened fish of the day... Salmon over grits & esparagas. Fried catfish over grits. Fried ribs... the service once again was IMPECCABLE! AMBIANCE WAS ONE FOR THE BOOKS considering it was Mothers Day. Now I'm coming back simply for the wings & fries. Oh... I did have the bread pudding to go. I didn't like it because it was wayyyy too sweet! Others may disagree! But I'm still going back!! Old review: I couldn't find anything wrong with this restaurant! Our family loved it! The ambiance overlooking the golf course. We had fried ribs, gumbo, and blackened drum fish. It was al delicious!! The service was impeccable & restaurant was very clean! Prices are reasonable! 10/10 ”
“ The freshest Grilled Shrimp Caesar I have ever had and did I mention its consistent. I had never been to this restaurant but I was familiar with location because I traveled here as a child with my grandfather when he played golf at the course. The years have changed the area and this beautiful clubhouse which houses the reataurant. I went for lunch on Friday and had to.come right back on Saturday to get another sample of that salad. ”
“ We didn't have one bad dish here. During our weeklong visit, we ate here three times! Some of the best fries I've ever had. Go for Sunday brunch and try one of the specials whatever it is. ”
