Camellia Cafe

Camellia Cafe is a great little cafe with a fun atmosphere Great service and amazing food. I have a lot of unique features such as a table in the corner with a sign over at the test worst seat in the restaurant with a percentage off of your entries if you sit there. They also have an oyster bar, a Thursday special in the evenings: $10 for a burger and a loaded potato, and a breakfast buffet 7- 11:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. We have been wanting to try it for a couple of years and finally got there this weekend. I had the crocafella omelette which is crab meat spinach and artichoke and it was amazing. The potatoes are cut and roasted, and delicious,but they also offer grits on the side. The menu is very diverse and offers both classics and original local themed cuisine. Prices are super reasonable but not cheap because the food is really good. While I didn't see a gluten-free menu, I have celiac and I had no issues with my order ...obviously I didn't order a bread on the side. We will absolutely be back to try lunch, kind of sorry we waited so long to try it!

This place is fantastic! Our waitress was great, friendly, and on it! Food was excellent and the restaurant is adorable and very clean!

We stopped at this cute little diner on our way home from New Orleans, and I have to admit it is one of the better food places we stopped at during our travels! Absolutely delicious mac n cheese

Carolyn was our efficient & friendly server, and I had to try the famous Friday Fried Chicken that everyone keeps telling me about! The special comes with mac & cheese, but I opted for an extra portion of the vegetables, which were green beans. At first bite, they melted in my mouth, with a slightly spicy kick, but layers of flavor That. Someone with soul made these. But the chicken was the real star of the show, crispy and golden fried on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. I literally haven’t had chicken this good since my childhood. Better than any famous chain, you might go to in Louisiana. This is old-school New Orleans cooking. Like something, your grandmother would make for you when you had a bad day. Highly recommend! Thank Chef Sean!!

The beignets were delicious!! My blueberry pancakes were very good. The home fries were a little bland despite onions in them. I was very pleased with the fruit cup my granddaughter got, loved that it was cut in bite sized pieces. My daughter got shrimp and grits that were a little on the too fishy side. Overall an enjoyable breakfast.
