A cozy place with friendly service, a decent sized menu with more than enough options for everyone's tastebuds. Everything we had was hot and delicious.

I'm not the biggest fan of this restaurant. The staff was great, but the food wasn’t. The bacon was mostly fat, and the biscuit… well, it didn’t really look like a biscuit. Fatty bacon is always unappealing, and the biscuit had an unusual taste.

I rarely get to dine on the West Bank, but jury duty called and it was lunchtime. I walked to the closest place on this lovely day, and, because it was early for lunch, I sat right down. My friendly server was right there with with a menu and offering me a drink. I ordered the red beans and rice, because it was Monday, amirite? I worked on the salad with my entree. The greens were cold and crisp. The beans were tasty and creamy, and served with a nice, flavorful sliced sausage. For me, this was a perfect lunch, and I left only $20 with the tip. Good job, y'all.

Found this hidden gem while I was called for jury duty today. Very friendly staff and my food was extremely delicious. Got the gyro sandwich and fries combo they had today. Was very flavorful. The homemade taziki sauce was perfect. Will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Thanks Courthouse Cafe! Maestro

Exceptional food and great service! Quick home made dishes will keep you coming back (the grits are heavenly)! Very attentive yet not smothering staff. This is truly a gem of Old Gretna!
